Lumber Concerns Cited.

An order was made by the supreme
court en- banc to cite directors and
other officers of four of the nine lum-
Der companies that have refused to
pay their fines for violating the anti
trust laws.
The citations are against the Brad
ley Lumber Company which was fined
$4,000; Colonial Lumber Company,
$4,000; Hogg- Harris Lumber Compa.
ny, $4,000, and the Van Cleve Lumber
Company, $4,000.
Attorney General Barker alleges
the companies dissolved to prevent
the state from collecting the fines.
Through Assistant Attorney General
Lee B. Ewing, the appointment of a
referee in the case of each company
is asked. These will be named later.

oregon Fails to Choose Major.

With go per cent of the vote cast in
Oregon's statewide primary election
counted and with all but four of the
35 counties heard from, it becomes
apparent that of the nearly 100000
Republican votes cast, Charles E.
Hughes received a clear majority over
all other presidential candidates of ap-
proximately $4,000. His plurality over
Senator Albert B. Cummins, will be
approximately $4,000, while Senator
Cummins has received more than
twice as many votes as former Sena-
tor Theodore E. Burton of Ohio.
The vote received by Col. Roosevelt
for the Republican nomination was
only negligible, although he received
the vote of the Progressives as its
nominee.
Democrats, the state over, appeared
to have voted unanimously for Presi.
dent Wilson. Vice President Marshall
was an easy victor over Gov. Elliott
w. Major of Missouri, as the Demo,
cratic choice for vice president.

The game farm was opened in 1911
when Jesse A. Tolerton was the state
game and fish commissioners Toler-
ton conceived the idea that the game
supply of the state could be greatly
augmented by the propagation Of En-
glish pheasants and Hungarian par
tridges.
Pheasants by the thousands were
raised for two years and scattered
over the state and thousands of Hun
garian cartridges were imported and
distributed. Today it is doubtful If
800 of the pheasants are alive in Mis-
souri, and nothing is ever heard Of a
Hungarian partridge.
Failure of the experiment has been
attributed to the ruthless slaughter
of the birds by hunters and the fact
that they were not intended by nature
for the environment In which they
we're placed. They were destroyed
by hawks, foxes, mink and other ma
RAIDERS. Perhaps 100000 was expen-
ed q. The money was raised from the
sale of hunters licenses.
