SOME GOOD N
NEW GAME LAWS
DEER ARE PROTECTED ELEVEN
MONTHS IN THE YEAR-CAN
KILL BUT FIVE BIRDS PER DAY
UNDER NEW Law.

Better protection is given to game
animals and birds in Washington by
the provisions of the general bill
passed by the state legislature, but
there is some disappointment. How
ever, this shows so much improve
ment over the old laws that sports
men in general are hopeful of bet
| tor things in the future.
The provision to project deer Il
months OF the year, making October
| the open month, is welcomed as
still" hunting is out of question for
any except the experienced hunts
man. With the dry vegetation add
underground cracking under foot at
that time of the year, the animals
are afforded natural protection and
there is reason to believe they will
increase in numbers. since fewer will,
be taken.
| Hunting deer with dogs has been
prohibited on the east side of the
Cascade mountains for years. 1t has
been permissible to use dogs on the
mainland only in October west of the
Cascades Now the use of dogs or
killing deer in the water is prohibit
ed. The open season on deer under
the old code was from September II
to December Is.
The open season on upland birds
has been changed, now opening On
October 1, instead of September Is,
and closing January l instead of
November Is. While sportsmen re-
gard it as a great improvement over
the old code in prohibiting shooting
the birds while they are so small
that they are scarcely able to protect
themselves, still the bill permits
shooting them in December, when
the snow is on the ground. Cutting
the bag limit for a single day in two
is also welcomed by true sportsmen,
the provision to cut the limit for a
week to 20 instead of 70 birds as
under the old code. One can bag
only five upland birds a day now.
The open season on water fowl has
been reduced from six months to
four months, cutting one month from
each end of the open season under
the old code. 1t is now permitted to
shoot ducks from October 1 to Feb
ruary 1, the old code permitting it
from September / to March l. The
bag limit has been reduced from 25
to Is day, and new provision has
been made to limit the total kill to
80 week, instead of possible IT'S
birds under the old code.

a tongue as sarcastic as any lawyers,
Mrs. Warner has made a good witness
for herself, refusing to be bothered
to any great extent and answering all
questions promptly and in a clear
voice.
In testifying relative TO her con-
nection with the last will she said
that the note book which contained
the will also contained a memoran-
DUN Of the contract which she alleges
was made between her mother and her
p-father-uncle to the effect that IL
Mabel was left with the uncle that
the girl should be made his heir.
While on the stand last evening
Mrs. Warner also explained for the
first time how she came by the FAM
Gus letter of denunciation. She said
that 1t also came through the mail
to her and though 1t did not contain
a word of explanation she left the i'm
preston that it had come from her
brother, Fred Young, husband of the
woman to whom It purports to have
been written.
Mrs. Warner is the last witness for
her side and when her eross-examina-
tion is completed her case will be rest
ed and the other side will be given an
opportunity to introduce witnesses in
sur-rebuttal.

BARLEY SELLS FOR A RECORD
PRICE To AN ADAMS MILL

one of the largest sales Of barley
made so far was one of 1900 sacks
made by Victor Lidwell for 1920 per
hundred. Numerous smaller lots have
been sold at prices in the vicinity Of
$1.25 and $3.50.
Though the wheat harvest has been
on for several days the market has
not yet opened and may not before
the first of the week. 1t is general

per bushel II the farmers were will
ing to sell at that figure. The grow
ers however, have their hearts set
on dollar wheat" and it will be hard
to induce many Of them to consider
any other price for a time at least.
It would seem that this expectation
Is not more than five or ten cents
wrong when It is considered that July
wheat is selling in Chicago at St.29@
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-07-16

With prices ranging from S1.20 t.
$3.50 per hundred the barley market
has opened in Pendleton most aus
piciously. This is probably the high
est price ever paid here for barley
at the opening of a harvest season.
The record price of $3.50 per hun
dred was paid by the Adams chop
mill to farmer near Sparks station
on the Pilot Rock branch. There
were 800 sacks in the lot and in ad-
dition to paying the phenomenal price
the purchasers were required to pay
the freight from Sparks to Adams. II
was not question of price with the
purchasers, however, for the farm
ers in that vicinity were ready to
commence harvest and had no grain
to feed their horses. For that rea-
son. 1t was simply a question of get
ting the grain.
