water. 81
The Bull Run shed is in the heart OF
the Oregon national forest reserve,
part OF which was reserved for the e1-
press purpose Of protecting Portland's
water supply.
Governor Benson of Oregon has
wired the forest service that the fires
are beyond the control of the regular
force Of fighters on the Oregoa and
Umatflla reserves. He asked TINT two
companies Of troops be sent TO aid the
fighters. General Wood t~eiegraphed
General Maus, commanding the de.
partment Of the Columbia, to send thu
two companies into the fire zone.

MRS. FlSH'S QUAILS.
Society Leaders Game Dinner Figures
In Inquiry

Society Leaders Game Dinner Figure,
In inquiry
Albany, Aug. 26.-The quail thai
Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish's French chez
served out Of eason at M of Mrs
Fish's dinner parties figured in the
hearing before FL. Leroy Austin, the
commissioner appointed by Governor
Hughes to investigate the administra-
ton of the game law penalties.
John X. Ward, chief counsel to the
state forest, fish and game commits
sioner, told the commissioner that
shortly after the Fish dinner occurred
on Feb. IL, 1907, Selah r. Strong, the
counsel for the department in New
York and Brooklyn, had forwarded to
him a newspaper clipping which men
toned the fact that 200 quail had ap-
peared on the menu Mrs. Fish had
prepared for her guests. Strong
seemed anxious to proceed with the
prosecution of Mrs. Fish for serving
quail out Of season, Chief Counsel
Ward said. The penalties that would
be imposed If Mrs. Fish really had
treated her guests to 200 of the birds
amounted to 5000 in the aggregate
$50 fiat and $25 for each bird.
Ward went pa to say that Mrs. Fish
told him that she had not been at all
familiar with the law Of open and
closed eason ON quail and that as a
matter of fact it had been her French
chef, who assuredly knew less of such
matters, who had taken upon himself
the selection of the menu for that
evening Of the dinner and had violated
the law by serving the forbidden birds.
Anyway, there had not been 200, but
only sixty. There was no prosecution.
