OPEN SEASON WILL
LAST TO AUGUST Il
Governor Orders Season to
Close After Week, Until
Rain Comes

Because there has been considerable
loss of property by fire and because
the possibility of serious fires is great
er than usual, Governor Withysombe
this morning issued a proclamation
closing the hunting season, which opens
August Is, on August 21 and extending
until September !, 1917. After that
date the season will be open again if
rain comes. Should a rain come be-
fore September ! the season will be op-
en- again automatically, according to
the proclamation.
1t was considered by the governor
that serious forest fires might consider
ably affect the industries of the state
and it is to prevent such fires that the
season is closed temporarily.
The governor said this morning
he thought the danger over-estimated
as the woods have been full of campers
all summer. However, because of the
excessive dryness he decided to limit
the season to one week.
Yesterday afternoon State Forester
Elliott wrote a letter to the governor
stating his position in the matter of
closing the season. A part of his let
ter follows:
GAS you know, an acute shortage Of
labor exists in the state and every
man drafted for fire fighting service
is necessarily taken from some vital
industrial activity. At this time over
five hundred of our citizens are, in ad-
dition to the regular patrol force, en-
gagged in fire fighting work and of this
number approximately four hundred
are logging camp and mill employees.
In this connection, it is hardly neces
sary to point out the Importance as
vital war measure of keeping our log
ging camps and mills in operation so
that lumber products urgently needed
by the Federal Government may be
forthcoming.
Undoubtedly the majority of the
sportsmen exercise due care with their
camp fires, pipes, cigars, etc, when in
the timber but our records show, during
the past six seasons, that certain per
cent of the hunters are careless with
fire and have been the cause of num-
erous fires during this period. The
hunters fires added to the fires al
ready burning cannot but make a bad
fire situation infinitely worse. 1t
strikes me that in view of the fire sit
uation, every true sportsman should
from patriotic motives. be willing to
cooperate gladly in this matter so that
the careless hunters can be kept out of
the timber until the fire hazard is re-
duced. L feel confident that the real
sportsmen of Oregon do not GeJire to
place an additional handicap upon the
lumber industry. while it is making
every effort to furnish much needed
war material to our government.
cdr. Earl c. Mcfarland, Portland |
Oregon, and Mr.. S. G. Bartrum, Rose
burg, Oregon, President and Secretary,
respectively, of the Oregon Sports
mans League, are on record as favor
ing the postponement of the hunting
season."

New York, Aug 14.-Grave danger
of losing the peak in the American
league confronted the White Sox today.
Barely more than half a game ahead
of the Red Sox, they were booked for
an entertainment at Cleveland, while
the Bostonese were to 60 over the mo-
tions at Philadelphia.
Snappier and snappier the race in Ban
Johnson IS circuit is growing. Right
down into the stretches of August 3
the battle seems certain to go and
there is every indication that neither
White nor Red Sox will be able to put
away for any noticeable gap.
In spite of the fact that the Chica-
goans have several times put many,
many points between themselves and
the pack they have always faltered
just in time to prevent their escape.
Now. with Buck Weaver out of the
game, they are confronted with the
task of overcoming the decided opposi-
tion Cleveland is able to supply.
Only one thing appears likely to give
the White Sox any comfort and that
is the fact that they will be scheduled
soon with the Athletics while the Red
Sox will be engaging one of their most
uncomfortable enemies in Cleveland.
Life is getting to be just one vic
tory after another for the Giants.
