HUNTING TO Be PROHIBITED
Hermiston Irrigation Lake to Be Pre-
served as Roasting Place for Fowl.

That the government has issued an
order prohibiting hunting in the vicin-
ity of the Gold Springs reservoir near
Hermiston was the statement of Game
Warden o. f. Turner yesterday. The
ground around the Zig inland lake will
be staked off in few days and notices
posted forbidding all hunting on the
premises.
The location of the reservoir makes
the place especially good as roosting
place for geese and ducks and if plo-
teoted properly will DO a means of in
creasing the game in this section of
the country MANIFOLD. The reservoir
is four miles from the Columbia and
about seven from the Umatllla and if
hunting is permanently prohibited
near it the geese and ducks. when
driven by hunters from both rivers,
will make the reservoir a permanent
roosting place and will come out in all
directions in search of food. This
fact, Nh. Turner and many others say,
will make the hunting much betteEfer
everybody all over this section,
In the past, it is said by many who
have observed matters. that the privi-
lege of hunting on the lake has been
subjected to fiagrant abuses. Hunters
have gone out in the water on RATS
and at night on fire boats and have
slaughtered the ducks and geese merci-
lessly. If this state of affairs is allowed
to continue the game will be driven
completely out of the country.
Another point which has been mel-
toned in favor of the steps which are
being taken Ey the government is that
many people are around the LAX g and
shooting would be dangerous. In every
respect it is considered splendid rnl-
ing and one which should be enforced
to thu letter. The man in charge of
the reservoir will be instructed TO keep
continual watch.

WAS MISCONSTRUED
Supreme Court Decision for Medford
Will Not Affect Other Towns. -Lo-
cal Option State Criminal Law.

Unless local lawyers are completely
mistaken, says the East OIegonian, the
supreme courts decision in the Med
ford case will have no effect whatever
upon the status of prohibition OF in
| lBy other town without a charter
which. like Medford's, gives the town
the exclusive right TO regulate the sa-
loon business.
This is the belief of Attorney j. P.
Winter. Col. j. H. Raley and the local
bar in general.
Press dispatches sent out from Salem
yesterday made the deduction that the
courts decision means that any city
may amend its charter and thereby
secure the right to control the saloon
question irrespective of the rest of
its county.
But 1t now seems certain that this
deduction was wrong for the following
reason:
Medford' s charter was given it by
the legislature before the constitu-
tional amendment giving cities the
right to amend their charters was
passed. In the Medford charter it is
provided that the city of Medtord
shall have exclusive power regarding
tho liquor BUSINESS. The charter be-
ing granted by the legislature subse-
quent to the adoption of the local op.
tion law is repealed as far as Medford
is concerned.
But under the present constitution
the right to>amend charter rests alone
with the cities. A city cannot change
its charter and make it conflict with a
state criminal law which the supreme
court has already held the local option
law to be.
The Medford charter, being granted
by the legislature, is state law aud
SO supercedes the local option law as
far as Medford is concerned.

TRACTION CO. GETS FRANCHISE
Wins Out in Long Battle With Walla
Walla City Council.

The Washington & Oregon Traction
company has finally succeeded. in get
ting its franchise passed by the coun-
Gil of that city. Concerning the final
action of the Walla Walla council
which ends long bitter fight against
the Washington & Oregon company
by the Northwestern Gas & Electric
company. which owns the present
roads ia the valley. the Union says:
On recommendation of the judiciary
committee the city council after an
executive session held last evening ur-
animously passed ordinance number
1869, granting to the Washington
Oregon Traction company the right to
erect and maintain an electric light
and power plant in the city Of Walla
Walla, and to build and operate ap-
pliances for the transmission of cleo
trioity for lighting heating and power
purposes in the city. Although this
franchise has attracted widespread
interest, the passing of the amended
ordinance last night was devoid of
any discussion or protest.

Reservoir Being Filled.

Water from the Umatilla was
turned into the big government ditch
Friday morning and will be kept flow
ing into the Cold Spring reservoir un-
til the gigantic inland lake is filled.
1t is estimated that about three
months will be required to fill the res
ervoiI with the water TO irIigate the
Hermiston lands during the next sum
mer season. Some tims will he con-
sumed in testing the various sections
of the canal. The fact that an early
start has been made in the filling pro
cess insures good supply of water for
the land during the next season. Gov
ernment engineers figure that they
will be able to supply water next sea
son to the extent of three feet on every
acre. But only about one third of the
land is under cultivation SO an alum
dance and over is assured. Precautions
will be taken, however, to see that
nothing is wasted.
