night, the team of that city won out

final score being % to FL. Beach

tion has greatly improved since their
appearance in this city some weeks
ago when the locals won by big

PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
MIGRATORY BIRD REGULATIONS

The United States Department of
Agriculture has proposed for adop-
tion regulations -amendatory of the
regulations for the protection of mi-
gratory birds approved by the Presi-
dent August 81. 1916 A period of
three months is allowed in which the
proposed amendments may be exam
ined and considered before final adop-
tion. and will become effective on or
after October Is next. whenever ap-
proved by the President
The proposed amendments pre-
scribe a daily closed season on all
migratory game and insectivorous
birds from sunset to half an hour be-
fore sunrise. instead of a closed sea-
son from sunset to sunrise, as pre-
scribed by the present regulations.
The following changes relative to
the waterfowl season are proposed:
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa. North Dakota, South Dakota,
Montana. Wyoming. Colorado. Nevada
Idaho and that portion of the states
of Oregon and Washington lying east
of the summit of the Cascade noun
tains: Open season September 16 to
December 81. both dates inclusive.
The changes are suggested to unity
the seasons on waterfowl in the
northern zone, and in most instances
are made to conform with the open
seasons under State laws.
In response to numerous inquiries
the department has advised that the
Federal migratory bird regulations
are not to be construed to authorize
the killing of migratory birds at any
when it is unlawful to kin them under
State laws.

But TWO Clips OF WOOL
RfMAIN UNSOID IN COUNTY

All but two clips of wool have been
sold in Humboldt county. Owing en-
tirely to the war, and despite Demo
cratic tariffs, wool prices have broken
the record this year. The mark
started in last fall with 2315 cents
being contracted for this seasons
clip, and rose steadily until about the
last sold in this market. about ten
days ago. brought 501a cents.
Owing to the attitude of the Fed
eral government towards wool and all
other commodities. there is practi-
cally no local market. as all of the
Eastern houses have sent word TO
their agents here to cease buying. 1t
is probable that should the clips men
toned be offered here today they
would not bring to exceed As cents.
