but the survivors are now larger than
adult partridges and beginning to take

particularly distinguishes the males OF
these handsome game birds.
A while ago County Agent +, H..

but investigation revealed young
pheasants instead of quail A report
that young partrldges were fraternz'

pheasants
These birds were reared and llberat-
ed by and under the supervision OF the
state fish and game department, and
are protected by law until Sept /,
1882, and anyone killing or in any way
molesting them will be subject to
prosecution and a heavy fine. While
small, the casual observer might mis-
take them for partridges but by the
time the law permits the shooting OF
partridges, Oct /, these pheasants will
have developed so that no careful
hunter. who looks at what he is shoot
ing, will have any excuse whatever for
killing them and Offering 8 his excuse,

Every bird hunter who goes into the
fields and covers this season should
study up bit on pheasants, especially
the young hunters. then there will be
no danger of making a costly mistake.
Hunters, or others. who see a pheasant

action taken to bring to a speedy end
the anthracite coal suspension which

re ponse to their statement that only
a public mandate" could impel them
to grant the hard coal diggers the old
wage scale beyond April /, next year,
were without avail The operators
scattered after the conference to meet
again here today. There was no in
formation from Washington as to
whether a public mandate might be
expected from government sources.
