Sportsmen. hunters and gun clubs
have no fault to find with the Oregon
Fish and Game Commission. They
nay license fee for the privilege OF
hunting and fishing and are satisfied
with the present system OF propagation
and game protection. The disgrunt-
led ones are those who haven't the
pep or ginger to leave business for a
few days recreation and only this
class, led by the OTegonian and few
other organs that failed to make a
political mao hine out of the Commits
sion, are crying for the abolishment
of the Commission and turning the
game and fish license money into the
general fund. If this is done, the
propagation and protection of fish and
game will see Its finish There is right
now more fish and game In the State
Of Oregon possible under pres
ent system and regulation--than ever
before under other protection given 1t.
The fund created by payment Of hunt
ing and fishing license comes from the
pockets of those who believe in fsh
and game increase and they will stand
as one man against any scheme TO turn
the fish and game funds into the keep
ing up of other departments Of the
State government.

THE HILL OF TARA.

Where In Ancient Times the Kings Of
Ireland Were Crowned.
In the county Of Meath is supposed
to have stood the hall Of Tara, cele-
brated as being the palace Of the an
cient Irish kings. There seems to be
no doubt that on the hill of Tara the
national assemblies met once year to
consult on the affairs of the kingdom
and to make laws. The lawgivers
were class of druids called Brehons.
who acted as magistrates and judges.
They did not hold their courts Of JUS
tice in any hall, but seated themselves
on the top Of n hill In the open air,
where they heard all complaints that
were brought before them and decided
every cause according to their own
ideas of right and wrong.
The hill of Tara is also famous In
Irish history as the spot ON which the
kings were crowned. The throne, or
seat Of inauguration, was black
stone, which was called Lea Fail, or
the fatal stone. SAID 10 nave Deen
brought In the early ages from Spain,
and 1t was therefore held In high ven
Grafton. 1t was either borrowed by
Feargus the Great. an Irish chief, or
else 1t was carried away, among other
spoils, by the Scots in one Of their in
vasions of Ireland and was ever after
ward used as coronation seat of the
kings of Scotland Mt the abbey of
Scone until 1t was conveyed away by
force of arms, together with the crown
and scepter, by Edward l. to England,
who placed 1t in Westminster abbey,
where It still exists and forms the ba-
sis of the coronation chair to this day.
