HUNTING SEASON
OPENS WITH BOOM
Especial Correspondence

HermiSton, Ore, Sept. 2.-The
hunting season opened yesterday with
a noise that could be heard by all the
people at Hermiston. At 3 o'clock in
the morning the small lakes around
Hermiston were swarming with hunt
ers. Several large crowds coming in
from Echo, Stanfield and Umatilla.
From o'clock until o'clock there
was continuous shooting. In one in
stance two hunters from Pendleton
ran out of shells and at six o'clock
they were on the steps of the hard
ware store awaiting the opening in
order to supply themselves with more
shells. 1t is hard to make an esti-
mate as to how many ducks were
killed, but it is safe to state that
every ono of the hunters came back
With enough for their own use.
The Hcrmiston Gun club has put a
fence around the preserve and have
notices posted up forbidding trespass-
ing on their leased lands. This club
consists of abount twenty-five of the
prominent hunters of Hermiston, they
have gone to quite an expense fixing
Up their preserves, with boats, etc.
They have leased the Charles Baker
property north of town.

FINAL PROOF MADE
EASIER ON DESERT
Entrymcn Can secure Title on Claims
Even Before Water i Secured

Entrymcn Can secure Title on Claims
Even Before Water Is Secured.
Salem, Ore.-The General Land Of
flee made a ruling in favor of the
Cesert Land entrymen in this state,
which enables the entryman on a des-
ert claim to make final proof and Sc
cure title to his desert claim, before
securing a final water right certifi-
cate from the state. The water rights
for desert claims are initiated by fill
ing water right application in the
office of the state engineer. This ap-
plication is subsequently approved
and returned to the applicant and is
his authority to construct wor $ and
apply water to the irrigation of his
claim. This application Is analogous
to the certificate the entryman re-
ceived from the Land Office, and as
the Land Office certificate is replaced
10y a deed after final proof, so is the
water permit replaced by a final water
right certificate or deed, after the land
Is under irrigation. 1t was this water
right certificate that the Land Office
demanded of the entryman holding
down a claim on the isolated desert
Lear DEMO, $50 miles from the near
est railroad station at Winnemucca,
New, and equally as far from the To-
cal Land Office at Burns. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of
State Engineer Lewis, and he advised
the General Land Office of conditions
pointing out that proof could be made
on desert claim in three years, while
under the state laws five years is al
lowed to complete appropriation OF
water.
1t was also shown that such a rul-
ing would operate greatly to the dis
advantage of entrymen on isolated
desert clsims, enduring hardship IN
their endeavor to build up the state
and at The same time make living.
a favorable reply to this appeal was
received yesterday and the entrymen
VIII hereafter be required to furnish
orly the certified copy of a permit,
and a statement from the State En-
Gineer to the effect that the failure
to furnish such water right certificate
is not due to. the applicants nom
compliance with the law.

Gould Lay Pin in Cracks. Four Long
Years Of Eczema. Only Reliefin

of Cuticura Remedies.
: Hands Entirely Well.

81 can truthfully say Cuticura RENE
r1ies have cured me Of four long years
OF eczema. About four years ago 1
noticed some little pimples coming on
my little finger, and not giving it any
attention, it soon became worse and
spread all over my hands. II l would
have them in water for a long time,
they would burn like fire and large
cracks would come. / could lay pin

wonderful Cuticura Remedies, / pur-
chased one complete set, and after using
them three days my hands were much
better. To-day my hands are entirely
well, one set being all used" (Signed)
Miss Eta Narber, r. F. ID. 2, Spring
Lake, Mich, Sept. 26, 1910.
No stronger evidence than this could
be given Of the success and economy Of
the Cuticura Remedies in the treatment
Of torturing, disfguring humors Of the
nkin. A single hot bath with Cuticura
Soap and a gentle amounting with Cutl-
cura Ointment are often sufficient To
afford immediate relief in the most dis
tressing cases and permit rest and sleep
Ointment are equally effective in pre-
serving, purifying and beauthying the

Throughout the world, liberal sample
of each, with 32-p. book on the skin and

Outlines Programme of Legislation to
BE Sought at Next Congress.
Washington.-An outline of the
programme of legislation for the post
al service which Postmaster-Gene
Hitchcock will ask Congress to follow
during the regular session was indi-
Gated by Hitchcock.
In his annual report Hitchcock will
recommend the establishment of q
parcels post service on rural mail
routes; an increase in second-class
mail rates, and a radical change in
the system of compensating the rail-
ways for transporting the mails.
Hitchcock explained that 1t was his
first idea to establish parcels post on
the rural routes in order that the
administrative details of the system
raight be worked out without disad-
vantage to the postal service gener-
ally.
Gradually, he said, he would extend
the parcels service to urban commun-
tiles, so that packages and parcels
might be delivered locally by city car
riers. Subsequently the service would
