PENDLETON HUNTERS
WANT Open SEASON

A recommendation that a closed
season on blue grouse and native
pheasants be declared in Umatilla
county for three years has been sent
to the state game commission as the
result of meeting held in Pendleton
last week, says the E. o., which was
attended by some Of the leading
sportsmen of the county. The session
was held at Marion Jacks office and
was called for the purpose Of con-
sidering matters of interest to sports
men.
In addition to the recommendation
for the closed season on grouse and
the native pheasant. the sportsmen
recommended that an open season be
permitted on Hungarian partridges
for the same length of time as is
now permitted for Chinese pheasants,
and that the bag limit for partridges
and pheasants be the same as is now
permitted for Chinese pheasants, five
birds in one day or 10 in seven days.
There will be an open season on
elk in Umatilla, Union and Wallowa
counties, too. if the request made by
this committee is needed. The COM
mittee would have the limit be one
elk with horns. An effort to inter-
est sportsmen's organizations in both
Union and Wallowa counties will be
made.

Seven.hour Session Of Japan
ese and Chinese Groups
Results in Settlement.

Washington, D Can agreement
pn all the principles involved in the
plan for return of Shantung province
10 China was reached by the Japanese
md Chinese arms delegations.
After the two, groups had been In
conference for nearly seven hours,
wrestling with the final problem OF
restoring the Tsingtao-Tsinanfu rail-
road to Chinese control, word came
from the committee room that only
ietails Of phraseology Of the proposed
treaty remained In the way Of COM
plete agreement.
The basis Of the settlement was un-
ierstood to have been the plan sup
ported by President Harding providing
that China pay for the road In treas
lry notes and that Japanese experts
be retained in the operating personnel
turing the period Of payment.
With the naval treaty and Shantung
definitely out Of the way, only a few
collateral issues will stand in the way
Of final adjournment Of the con-
ference. None Of these promise to
take long and some Of the delegates
believe they may be on their way

after more care be exercised in the
issuance of search warrants on the
part of magistrates; That officers in
seizing intoxicating liquors make a
record in such manner that will be
permanent and subject to inspection,
That officers give receipts for prop
erty taken on search warrants; That
it is premature at this time to dis
pose of all questions which have aris-
en- under provisions of Section 1880
of Oregon laws, relating to criminal
libel; That it is not compatible with
the best interests Of Umatilla county
that E. F. B. Ridgeway at this time
be not re-employed by the county.
Further, the jury finds upon inves-
tigation, that it believes determined
effort will be made in the future to
carry on the unlawful manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors within the
county and it respectfully suggests
that county officers attempt to CO.
operate to the fullest extent possible
in an energetic and determined effort
to stamp out the evil and for the gen
eral enforcement Of laws.

No True Century Plant.

There are no true century plants in
the sense that it takes them a hun
dred years to bloom. A number Of
plans, however, do not bloom until
they have lived for long term Of
years. The classic example of such
plants is the TALBOT palm Of India
which lives for so years or more and
becomes tall tree before it blooms.
After it has sent up its immense
flower-stalk the whole plant dies.
Our American century plants" often
fruit at the end of eight or ten years
under natural conditions, but in the
house they may refuse to bloom at all.
Many Of the bamboos act like the CEN
fury plants and bloom but once after
long period Of vegetation. Such
species are known as monocarpic
plants.

FOREST SERVICE TO AID
A TWO-COUNTY ROAD
Importance of Highway Is That
It Would Afford Connection of
UmatilIa-Union Counties.

Commercial club adopted an import
ant resolution submitted by its road
committee, urging federal aid for the
proposed highway crossing the Blue
mountains from Elgin by what is
known as the Toll Gate route.
The Importance of this road as a
connecting traffic link between north
ern Union and northern Umatilla
counties can hardly be over-estimat-
ed, and it would also serve as for
estry road and a post road. 1t would
bring nearer to markets the products
of the rich agricultural district of
Weston mountain, now becoming
widely known because of the excel
lence of it's seed potatoes.
The Weston resolution followed
similar action by the Elgin Ad club
and the Freewater Commercial club,
and an effort is now being made to
interest the commercial bodies at
Pendleton, Athena and Helix. The
Weston resolution follows:
Whereas, the only thoroughfare
connecting northern Union and nor
thern Umatilla counties is a noun
tain road of dangerous and almost
impossible character; and
"Whereas, there is a commercial
need for permanent highway from
Elgin, Oregon, through the Wenaha
National forest, over the Blue noun
tains, connecting with the Oregon
Washington paved highway at Wes-
ton, Oregon; and
Whereas, the construction Of a
permanent highway through the We
-naha National forest connecting Ell
gin in northern Union county and
Weston in northern Umatilla county,
on the Oregon Washington highway,
will provide an interstate connection,
making it primary road; and
whereas, the construction of the
proposed road will not only serve a
commercial needs and make the graz
| ing lands of the Wenaha National
forest more accessible to the stock
men, but will serve to open the
scenic beauties of large section Of
the Blue mountains and the farming
lands on Weston mountain; and
Whereas, the construction Of the
proposed highway will reduce the
distance from Elgin to Weston, and
consequently between points in nor
| thern Union and northern Umatilla
county total of seventy-four miles
as compared with the present passa-
BILE route; therefore be it
Resolved, that the Weston Com
mercial club go on record as favor
ing the immediate construction Of
the proposed highway; and be it fur
ther
Resolved, that the Weston COM
mercial club urge the State Highway
commission Of Oregon and the chief
engineer of the Bureau of Public
Roads, to declare the proposed high
way a primary road, and to use their
influence in securing an appropria-
tion of 100000 to assist in the
building thereof; and be it further
Resolved, that copy of these res
olutions be submitted to the Oregon
State Highway commission and to
DR.. L. I. Hewes, Chief Engineer, Bu-
reau Of Public Roads"
The amount apportioned to Oregon
by the Secretary Of Agriculture for
the construction Of forest roads
and trails is $1,875.644.
