SAVE THE PARTRIDGE.

The Diamond Drill is in hearty ac-
cord with the following sentiments,
expressed by the Marquette Mining
Journal:
bill specifically providing for a
closed season for partridge did not
pass the legislature, but the bill Civ
ing the public domain commission
power to act TO abridge the hunting
season in emergencies, on represen-
tation OF the local boards OF super
yisors. was written into the statute
books. The hunting OF partridge may
be forbidden under this law.
Here is matter that may we'll COM
mand the attention OF sportsmen in
the upper peninsula IL is common
knowledge that the partridge have
suffered severely though unfayorably
during the breeding seasons OF the
past and hard hunting OF the surviving
birds.
Their number as been so greatly
reduced that unless they are given
additional protection they will sooa
be practically killed off. A closed
season for a period OF few years
would doubtless permit them to re-
establish themselves.
Under the law permitting emerg
ency action. the initiative must come
from the boards OF supervisors, and
not from the public domain commits
sion.
On recommendation Of these bodies
the commission can set a date for a
hearing, following which, IL good
case is made for the proposed closed
season, il may be declared by the
commissioners. This method was
vided to assure the counties against
arbitrary Interference Except at the
instance Of the counties, the commits
sion cannot act.
II would seem. il what the hunters
and game wardens say about the
scarcity OF partridge Is half true, that
there should be concerted action In
the upper peninsula counties TO bring
about a closed season for the bird in
the entire district Practically all
the sportsmen who have expressed
themselves on the subject say they
favor such action What Is now need
ed it seems, Is the active interest OF
some sportsmen's club which shall
take the initiative and arrange to have
the matter presented to the several
boards OF supervisors.

THE young man was told to defend
himself as the examiner made few
passes at him, and believing he was
about to receive beating. he threw
up his hands, and assumed an atti-
tude OF defense. Sparring with the
examiner, he soon revealed his physi-
cal ability, and passed the examina-

Clause Providing for Closed Season
For Partridge Stricken From Bill.


Whether or not closed season will
be declared on partridge this fall f.
problematical. A clause In bill No.
1S1 declaring a closed season was
passed by the house, but was killed
In the senate. However, the legisla-
ture approved a bill giving the public
domain commission power 10 declare
IA closed season on any game In any
county, or counties, which may desire
1t, If in the judgment of the commits
sion members, such closed season
is advisable.
Considerable red tape is involved
in the process. The law provides that
aapetition for the desired closed sea :
son may be presented TO the board OF
supervisors. II 1t is endorsed by a
majority Of the members OF that body,
the petition is then sent TO the pub
lie domain commission, which adver-
tlses public hearing on the question.
After the hearing, If the commission
members deem the change advisable,
change is ordered, and advertised by
newspaper publication and by plac-
ards. The closed season may be de-
Nclared in one or more counties, but
In no unit smaller than a county. II,
upon investigation, after the restric
tion has been made effective, the
commissioners decide that II is no
longer necessary. 1t may be terminal
ed after newspaper and placard adver-
tising to that effect. without further
action.
When the county board OF supervis-
ors next convenes, the matter will be
brought up, and possibly action for a
closed season for partridge in Mar
Quette county will be decided on, this
depending upon the attitude taken by
the sportsmen of the county. 1t is
generally conceded that closed sea
son would be beneficial as the unfav-
orable breeding seasons OF the past
