HUNTERS MUST
AWAIT OCTOBER |
NO QUESTION As 10 Law IN
WHITE PINE COUNTY As RE-
CARDS SEASON FOR SHOOTING
DUCKS AND DEER.

some question seems 10 nave
arisen In the minds of few as to
just when the duck and deer season
opens In this county. A representa-
tive of the News called upon District
Attorney Jurich to ASCERTAIN his opin-
ion on the point and was unhesitat-
tngly informed that It would not be
wise for any one to attempt to kill
any duck or deer In this county b.
fore the first day Of October.
The duck season IL regulated by
the federal law. which flxes the date
at October 1st. and while the state
law reads September 18th. and In two
states the federal Law was declared
unconstitutional. the recent decision
in South Dakota held the federal law
to be good. From this It immediate
ly becomes plain that . person is In
serious danger II he cares TO take q
chance on a violation Of the law. One
thing is certain. and that Ia this:
The federal authorities are keeping
a close watch on the matter and any
violations that are discovered Will
be vigorously prosecuted. so those
who care to take issue with the
United States government over .
duck or two. may try 1t. but before
they do they have assurance that II
will cost them many dollars and per-
hhaps not few sleepless nigts.
Regarding the deer law. an erro-
neous impression seems to have got
ten out that the ordinance passed by
the board of county commissioners
at It's meeting held on the ninth day
OF August, 1915, was effective only
for. last year. In this they are clear
~ wrong. as District Attorney Jurich
took the representative from the
News to the Office of Clerk Oldfield
and showed him the record OF the or
dinance passed by the county COM
missioners. which appears on page
$50 OF the commissioners record.
and the language of the ordinance
IL so plain that child can under
stand 1t. II clearly defines the open
season on deer as being from the 1st
day of October to the 31st day OF
October, I'm EACH AND EVERY
YEAR" which Is the exact wording
of the ordinance.
II does not appear likely that any
attempt Will be made In White Pine
county to violate the game laws. as
the sportsmen here are what can well
be termed true sportsmen", but II
any violation is discovered. II has
been proven In the past that Judge
Edwards has no sympathy for the
pot hunter and the punishment
meted out will not be light.
Fish and Game Warden Fletcher
has taken the precaution to post
notices all over the district. and Is
determined that the law shall be en-
forced. In which he has the backing
OF all the officials as we'll as the
sportsmen OF the district.
