A SpOrtSman'S View

Editor Islander:
Kindly allow me space for the fol
lowing remarks in regard to the much
discussed question of game protection
in San Juan county and on Orcas is
land particularly.
As far as the determination of deer
is concerned, that would be physi.
cal impossibility on Orcas island.
There are places on the north east side
of Mt. Constitution which are prac-
tically inaccessible to man. but ma
tural paradise for deer. where they
will be safe for generations. The
most serious menace to the deer on
Orcas is the lack of sports-REAL
SPORTS. II the hunters of Orcas
would protect the deer from themsel-
yes during the closed season they
would have no reason to complain Of
the comparatively small numbers
killed by non resident hunters during
the open season. It is safe to say
that more deer are killed on Orcas
during the closed season than in the
open season. In October the deer
are killed openly and shipped away
and at other times they are killed on
the sly and sneaked to the home OF
the hunter after dark or By q back
way. so that it looks as though the
main slaughter came in October. while
in reality it goes on all the time.
Summer hunting is common and
nopular practice on Orcas. and any
thinking person can see how fatal
that il to the increase. A doe killed
in spring or summer is practically
the same a. two or even three in Oc-
tober and hunting late in the fall

Lamb for the Greeks

The unique Greek dish on New
Years eve is the Toast lamb. set up
in Greek style, o. which each son of
Hellas must partake. The roasting
of the lamb is attended with a great
deal of pomp. The entire carcass of
lamb is set up on pole, and this
is held over fire until it is duly
roasted. Then it is sliced aud appor-
toned among the various persons pres
ent at the feast. and the roast is eaten
along with other strictly Greek dishes
and washed down with Greek wine.

The Game Question
In San Juan County
East Sound. Dec. 81, 100

East Sound. Dec. 81, 1908
Editor Islander:
saw in the Islander Dec. 10. a
petition to the legislature which l
understand to have originated at Oh
ga. asking for five year closed sea
son for birds and deer. From the
point of view of farmer and one
who likes to go out and get few
birds for the table. / think this is a
very poor and unfair proposition. 1t
would. if carried out. amount to
simply term of five years in which
the farmers would have to raise. feed
and protect the game tc make good
harvest for the very people the petit
tioners seem to be working against,
viz. the city hunters. In other words.
we would keep the game for five years
until. in the sixth year, we would be
simply overrun with hunters as we
we're few years ago. There we're
more quail on San Juan and Orcas
this year than there have been since
they we're put out. and if the law
read to only kill male pheasants,
and is enforced, there would always
be plenty.
There is remedy at hand for every
oDe-post your places aud If there
is no place for outsiders to shoot they
will not bother to come, but to put
closed season on the people who
raise and protect the game is to my
notion very poor way of spiking out
siders. The law calls for a five dol
lar license for anyone outside of the
county. but no one has ever been
charged more than one dollar. Why
not make it SIS. 90 for bird license
and $40. 90 for deer? This, with post
ing most or all of the places, would
keep out most all of the outsiders and
would work no hardship on those who
live in the county and pay taxes here.
Estyn M. Chalmers.
Glen Doone Farm. Orcas Island.
Mr.. Chalmers views of the propo-
sitlon to prohibit the hunting of
game birds in the county for five years
seem to be the views of many resi-
dents of this island, where pheasants
are most abundant. except as to the
question of larger license fee. He
is in error, however, in bis under
standing that the present law fixes a
$500 license for anyone outside the
county. A county license for non
resident of the state costs IS. 20, but
the fee in any county for any resi-
dent of the state is only 81. 90. Many
sportsmen and others here fear that a
high license would not help the mat
ter any but that on the contrary it
would be q discrimination against
hunters of small means in favor of
wealthy city sportsmen.

DEMOCRATS LEAD IN POLITICAL REFORM

The chpln:as;er IS at ad witt both fes.. Arizona has p,."cd law demanding that he who casts the ballot Of a freeman must be able to read and write in the language of the country. There is no sentiment in this. no political crank to turn or axe to grind. but merely higher and a better citizenship. True it may be termed a Democratic measure, but if Is the history of Arizona that the Democrats have been first and fore most in every reform measute that has. been passed by its legislative bodies. The Australian ballot sys- tenn was wholly and purely Dem ocratic measure and did more to purify politics in Arizona than any thing of its kind ever enacted. Tho primary election law, or in other words the ring clique annihilator, is a Democrats measure, and SC is the educational qualifications bill. Surely these things are moves in the right direction, for cleaner political cam paigns. end of ring rule, cleaner bal lot and higher degree or citizenship
 Texas taking it's cue from the De mccracy of Arizona cries out with the fervency of Tom Plat me too" and has introduced 8 bill to the end that aboility to read and write English Is a requisite for voting. The commit tee to whom the bill was referred has reported favorably. There is a moral certainty that it will pass both houses and become a law. Thus does the Arizona Democracy set an example that is followed and adopted by their brethren h the great state of Texas. Plainly speaking, ignorance has got to go and a higher type of citizenship is coming in. True it may and will work a hardship on a few, but the fault is with the injured and not with the law, and this same thing would happen a hundred years hence. English has been the dominating Ian guage in Arizona for the past thirty years and surely the "old timerr can not complain if he fails to answer the requirements Of the law.

ESPEE WORK IN
 hACOzARI IS HEAVY

P. K. Elgin. who is connected with the engineering department of the Southern Pacific railroad work in So nora, was in Tucson recently.
 Mir. Elgin Is located at Nacozari and his duties are connected with the work on the line which starts south from Nacozari and following the MOctezuma. Babispe and YaquI ijyers, connects with the coast line going east from Guaymas
 In Nacozari canyon the work has been very heavy for twelve miles. To accomplish this a force of varying size has been engaged for more than a year. At one time more than 1000 men were employed. During the past ear only a small force was continued af work. but recently more men have been engaged and the force now amounts to 900 men.
 To complete the twelve miles of neavy rock work in the canyon below NacOzari. it is expected will require some five or six months. When tnis is done the road will have an easy grade as far as Noctezuma, some 50 miles south of Naeozari.
 Work is also progressing on the, southern end of this line and trains rIe already operated for 70 or 90 miles np ;he Yaqui river from the junction with the main coast line.
