BIRD SEASON MAY
NOT OPEN SEPT. 1e.

The fear that the season on migra-
tory birds in eastern Washington
will not become effective on Septem-
Der Is, as provided in the state game
laws, but held up until the open Sc
ason under the federal statutes, Oct
ober LIST was expressed last night
by R. B. Wales, chief deputy state
game warden and federal game war
den for eastern Washington.
To remedy this error in the open
season for birds Mr.. Wales has taken
the matter up with E. w. Nelson
chief of the bureau of biological
survey at Washington, and an enabl-
ing act, giving the bureau power
to make regulations correcting such
errors, has already passed the senate
Might be too Late.
However, it is pointed out, unless
this act passes the lower house OF
congress before September it will be
impossible to correct the error for
the 1919 season.
1t has been suggested that sports
men of the Inland Empire write to
their representatives in congress tC
urge the speedy passage of this law
to remedy the situation.
cat present we in eastern Wash.
ington can only hunt for birds a.
bout month, during October" said
Wales, although the state game laws
provide for the season opening or
September 10th. Should this law be
passed in time the biological survey
will have the power to correct the
federal open season to conform with
that of our state"
Treaty Causes Trouble.
The conflict arises because of a
treaty between this country and
Canada concerning migratory birds.
The present law in congress is to
remedy the matter without necessi.
tating the making of new treaty.
The present outlook is for a big
season, states Wales. He has recent
ly been on trip throughout the
eastern part of the state and reports
plenty of young birds.
The same reports are coming from
other sources and the outlook is for
big season this year in this part OF
the state.

OLDSMOBILE BREAKS ~ :
NON. STOP RECORDS.

Setting nonstop record of &c.
1913 miles, a mark surprising the
best previous total for similar per-
Torrance by 4,127 miles, an Oldsmo-
bile six cylinder car has ended a
test that conclusively demonstrates
its remarkable endurance and high
motor efficiency.
For AZ continuous days and nights
it was mounted on jacks with rear
wheels belted to II Kilowatt dyna-
mo, giving the car load equivalent
to climbing 1917 per cent grade
and requiring an actual and continu-
GUS expenditure of % horse power.
Its average speed was 23.17 miles per
hour and the gasoline record was
22.49 miles per gallon.
The remarkable stunt was staged
in the spacious show window af the
Oldsmobile Company of New Eng
land of Boston, Mass. The dynamo
generated flood of light which
which brilliantly Illuminated the
front and interior of the show room
so that the car could be observed at
any hour. =
Mayor Curley of Boston started
the car, and newspaper men acted as
observers. Expert mechanics and
technical men from prominent coll
eyes were present most of the time.
The run stopped simply because
there was nothing to be gained in
running longer An exhaustive exam
ination of the machine at the con-
clusion of the test showed it was
none the worse for its Az days and
nights of continuous work.
"They used a stock car that was
new and unchanged in any respect
from the models the factory is pro-
ducing in enormous quantities., said
Mr.. Tucker of the City Garage, local
dealers in Oldsmobiles, who has just
