EIGHT GEESE LIMIT
IN ONE DAYS HUNT
0. ]. RIchardson In oregonIanl

81. ]. Richardson in oregonlan)
Duck and geese hunters in Oregon
and Washington who have visions OF
being about to setp out bright and
carly In the morning when the season
orcns bring back 80 OF the waterfowl
in one day, as has been the custom
with some hunters-in seasons past,
are in for a rude awakening.
In the future the hundreds Of scat
tergun artists who annually visit the
upper Columbh river islands in the
licnity of Arlington will be allowed
to bag only eight geese in any one
day or 30 IN seven consecutive days.
Heretofore Wes Matlock, H. Ever
ling, the Honeymoon family, Dick
Carbon and a score of other we'll
known shooters have taken aim at
thousands of wild geese that annual
ly congregatc near Arlington and
usually bagged the limit in one day.
1t is doubtful If these marskmeD
will be contonted with blazing away
at eight geese in one day and then
calling it quits. Duck hunters who
donned the oilskins and high tor
rubber boots and lay, secluded in a
blind or boat, all night will be al
lowed to bag 20 ducks instead of 80
In enc day If they have any further
desire to linger on the marches or
duck lakes one day longer to bag the
extra five ducks allowed by the state
in seven consecutive days-that /:
their business and not ours.
The new limit on water fowl is the
result of the treaty act signed July
by President Wilson, and is an act
10 give effect to the convention be-
tween the United States and Grea
Britain for the protection of migra
tory game birds concluded, at Wash
.ngcn August 16, 1916,
The Oregon duck limit is 80 IL
seven consecutive days. The new
federal law supersedes the state law
ence the change The bag limit OF
geese is reduced from 80 to in onC
cay.
According to the treaty a closed
| season for 10 years has been agreed

SHORTAGE OF YARN

No more hand knitting yarn can
be manufactured in the L. S., accord
ing to a letter sent to the Red Cross
by Lewis Henwell, chief of the war
Industries board at Washington.
This was announced at a meeting Of

The only yarn available now, ac-
cording to Henwell, will be what the

the old supply.
No more wool will be allotted by
the wool division for civilian pur-
poses, the reasons for both the re-

Two men In the launch l was In were
wounded. But we did not pay any
attention to that shelling-the Turks
might just as we'll have been blowing
peas ut us through soda straw for
all we cared.
l noticed that wien we came near
the Gassard the other boats held up
and let our launch get into the lend,
and that we circled around the Cas-
sard's bows and came up on the star
board side, which was unusual. But
1 did not think anything of it until l
came over the side. There were the
side boys lined up, and the Old Man
was there, with the ships steward
beside him.
He took the log book from the stew
ard and showed it to me, and there
was my name on 1t. Now when you
are punished for anything you are
logged, but could not figure out what
l had done to get punished for, so l
was very much surprised. But the
Old Man slapped me on the back ana
everybody cheered, and then / saw II

All of us were certainly glad to be
aboard the Cassard again, and If any

Cassard to, get her out and supplies of

visit to the Turks. The French gar

back to Brest-they were sure of load

they needed.
My twelfth trip to the Dardanelles
was different from the others. The
Cassard was doing patrol work at the
time in the neighborhood of Cape
Helles. Those of us who had served
on the Peninsula before were thank
ing our stars for the snap we were
having-just cruising around waiting
for something to happen.
We had not been there very long be-
fore something unexpected did happen,
for we ran into two enemy cruisers
which l afterwards heard were the
VERT and Kaiserliche Marine-one on
the starboard and one on the port.
How they had managed to sneak up
so near us / do not know. They
opened up on us at not much more
than thousand yards and gave us a
hot time from the start, though with
any kind of gunnery they should have
done for us thoroughly.
We came right back at them and

was carried away. 1t was SO hot
though, and we were so hard at 1t that
such little thing like that did not
bother us. 1t Is hot In any gun. turret
