olu OUCle tommy smell, Lhe
Kentucky mountaineer, who paid visit to
the Kentucky State Fair at Louisville last
fall, has become famous over night as a
result Of this controversy.
Such papers as the "New York
Herald" the Literary Digest" and other
periodicals of national circulation have
printed his picture, with comments on the
question at issue.
So much interest has been shown in
the matter, that special investigator was
sent to Greasy Creek, Kentucky, by The
Chattanooga Medicine Company (whose
medicine-Thedford Black Draught Liver
Medicine-had been used in the Shell fam
lily for many years. in order to get more
information on the subject.
The Investigators report is given on an
other column of this page. The result of
this investigation seems to show, on tes-
timony of friends and neighbors, that John
Shell is about 112 years old, that his health
is good for man Of his age, and that

angles of the fish and game contro-
versy. The Legislature has power to
summon witnesses and by use of this
authority can nsbring to Salem every
one who has anything of importance
to contribute in the nature of facts.
Determination of the commission
to make the request is contained in
the following statement: ....
The four undersigned. members of
the Oregon fish and game commits
sion announce their purpose to re-
quest an investigation of it's affairs
by the legislature, through commit
tee or otherwise. We have in mind
the controversy growing
out of the unanimous action of the
board in creating a vacancy in the
office of state biologist, thus reliev-
ing w. F. Finley of his duties as
public official. All the vital policies
of the board have been to greater or
less extent involved in the general
discussions of the past year and it. is
our desire that, so far as it may be.
they be reviewed by the
legislature.
1t is our hope that all the facts re-
garding the differences between Mr..
Finley and the board, and our .reas-
ons for dropping him from our serv-.
i've, will be fully reviewed by the leg
islature., ,We-sre confident that when
