ELK SEASON NOT
TO OPEN AUGUST |.

Settling dispute as to whether or
not the season for shooting elk in
Oregon would open August !, 1919.
Carl Shoemaker. state game warden,
announces that in THE legislative ses-
sion of 1913. permanent closed sea-
son was decided upon and it will be
unlawful at any time to Kill elk un-
less a future legislature should change
the law.
In 1903 the legislature decreed that
the season for shooting elk would be
closed until August 1. 1919. but the
1913 legislature changed the former
law.
The decision is especially interest
ing to local sportsmen because the
section consisting OF southeastern
Umatilla. southern Union, northwest
Baker and northeast Grant counties
has more elk than any other part of
Oregon.
