AUTHORITIES REFUSE TO
CHANGE BIRD SEASON

Federal game authorities refuse to
consider the suggestion of Eastern
oregon sportsmen that the open season
for shooting migratory birds be chang
ed, A. r. Berghduff, state game war
den, notified local nimrods In letter
received today by Sol Baum. Senti-
ment here has been sounded and found
in favor of the season chosen by the
state, with the opening date october
and the closing date January Is.
The federal open season is from Sep
tember 16 to December 81 and is said
to be fixed uniformly as the result of
treaty with Canadn. A change IN
| this season allowed Oregon would re-
suit in similar requests from other
states, the federal game men told Mr..
Rerghduff, and ultimately in confi-
sion.
! The federal dates open the season
too early for this section, the local
men pointed out in request to the
state warden for his cooperation in
presenting the matter to the govern
ment. When shooting begins to get
best the federal law closes the season,

The proposal to make of the Her

also taken up by the state game war
den but so many factors must first be
considered that II is difficult, he said
TO tell whether such a proposition Will
be feasible. The local sportsmen want

on which the birds. may rest without
danger OF being killed.

stand against extending the open sea-
son for deer to November 10, as In
Union county and they We're compli-
monted for this by the warden.
