Names of Ducks.

Names of Ducks.
Have you ever shot a water-part-
ridge? If you're a duck hunter,
you have, because that's simply a
green winged teal, which picks up
this strange name when it gets to
Maryland.
The department Of Agriculture
has just issued booklet giving
the various local names of our
ducks. A study Of this list of
names is enlightening. We find
not only that most ducks have
from a dozen to fifty names, but
that the names Of many species
are interchanged in various parts
of the country. A sportsman from
Minnesota coul Id discuss duck
hunting with a sportsman from
Louisiana, and they would be
talking about the identical ducks,
but neither would know what the
other was talking about.
The name widgeon, for instance,
is applied to nine species of ducks
in various parts of the country.
Broadbill is applied to almost as
many while if a man speaks of a
black-duck, he may refer to any
one of more than a dozen species.
Wood duck is the name given to
several kinds of ducks. Several
varieties Of ducks are called pleas
ants in local parlance.
The spoon bill, or shoveler is one
Of the most distinctive ducks of
all. 1t seems as though his name
would remain the same everywhere.
But here is what he is called:
Broadbill, broad-faced mallard,
broadly, cowan, featherbed, French
teal, laughing mallard, spoon duck,
mud duck, mud lark, mud shoveler,
mule duck, salt water mallard,
scooper, shovelbill, shovelmouth,
shovelnose, shoveler, soup lips,
spoon billed teal, spoon-billed wild
geon.
The hooded merganser has the
greatest variety Of names, answer
ing in various parts of the United
States to sixty names, including
zin-zin, cock-robin, didapper, pick
axe, hootamaganzy smew, shagpoll,
and rocket.

in the world. The killing of the
COW elk has heretofore been per-

been about ninety per cent cows.
The cows are killed for meat, usu-

while eastern sportsmen kill the
bulls. The bill was taken to indi-
cate that the killing of elk for
meat, rather than for sport, must
not continue.

or initials of both ballot clerks,
and no other ballot can be used.
Upon receiving his ballot, the vot-
er must retire alone to booth or

form the voter as to the proper
manner of marking a ballot, but
he must not advise or indicate in
any manner whom to vote for.
(b) If a voter wishes to vote
for all the candidates nominated
by any party he shall make cross
or other mark under the party
designation printed at the top of
the ballot in that circle made for
that purpose. A ballot so marked
and having no other mark will be
counted for all the candidates of
that party in the column under
meath, unless the names of some
of the candidates of the party
have been erased or a name shall
be written in or a cross mark be
placed in the square at the right
of the name of candidates in
another column. If the voter does
not wish to vote for all the candi-
dates nominated by one party, he
shall mark his ballot by making
mark in the square at the right
of the name of the candidate for
whom he intends to vote, or by
inserting or writing in the name
of the candidate.
(c) A voter may vote upon a

I'D The ballot should not be

must issue another in its stead,
but not more than three in all

Five minutes time is allowed in
booth to mark ballot. Unofficial

the voter in marking his ballot
can be taken into the booth, and
may be used to copy from. The
ballot must not be shown so that
any person can see how it has been
marked by the voter.
(e) After it is marked it should
be folded so that the inside can

THIS is our birthday! With this is
= sue we begin the publication OF
Volume No. IL of the Courier-Report-
er. Twenty-three years ago this week
the first newspaper published IN
Kennewick made its appearance-The
Kennewick Courier. Eleven years
ago the Courier and Reporter were
consolidated under the name of The
Courier-Reporter. The consolidation
was good thing for the town, the
publishers and the people and, we
think, resulted in the publication of
a paper vastly superior to either of
the previous publications.
We've had eleven years of fun,
eleven years of work, eleven years
of experience and eleven years of
good times and bad. If, in that eleven
years we've accomplished the pur-
pose of good newspaper, been en-
pertaining, instructive and have fur
thered the interests of thes commun-
ity in every way possible, then the
eleven years have been well spent
Anyway, we're looking forward to
another eleven years, at least, of the
same sort of fun.
