A SDOrtSman'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-
res 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
durinR the closed season than in the
onen 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 back
way. 80 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 is to the increase. A doe killed
In spring or summer is practically
the same as two or even three in Oc-
tober and hunting late in the fall

The Game Question
In San Juan County
East Sound, Dec. 21, 100

East Sound, Dec. 81, 1908
Editor islander:
saw in the islander Dec. 10. u
petition to the legislature which l
understand to have originated at Oh
ga. asking for five year closed sea
son for birds aud deer. From the
point of view of farmer and one
who likes to go out and get few
birds for the table. l think this is a
very poor and unfair proposition. 1t
would. if carried out s. 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 a 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 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 $500 for a 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
SIS. 20 license for anyone outside the
county. A county license for non
resident of the state costs S5. 90, but
the fee in any county for any resi-
dent of the state is only S1.0O. Many
sportsmen and others here tear that q
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
woa Ithv citv spOrtsmen.

Pulling To9ether.

A meeting Of the stockholders OF the
Deming Real Estate e. Improvement
Co.. was held here on Wednesday, pur.
snant to an order of the court. This
company has been in litigation for the
past three years, and is property has
been in the hands OF n receiver and It's
officers have been under an injunction
restraining the company from the tran.
saction OF any business. This has,
more than any other one thing, tended
to paralyze business activity in our city.
We are pleased to be able to state that
this ltigrtion appears now to be about
ended. Mr.. {. J. Laughren, of this
city, entered the meeting with slightly
more than n controlling interest in the
stock OF the company. There were
none OF the strenuous scenes whichh
sometimes made these meetings inter
esting in the past, and all parties agreed
upon q plan oJ reorganization which
viii be worked out soon, go that
active business may be reasonably ex.
pected. We note with special srtisfac.
ton that the name of N. w. StoTcll,
the largest stockholder opposed to the
Laughren interests, appears among the
list of new directors. Mr.. Stowcll is 4
strong man and the measure OF harmony
indicated by his election TO the board,
and the courtesy Of the majority in rec
ognizing his holdings, should assure his
continued interest in Deming and its
future.
