This Is A Hunting
Not A Fish. Story

Ever since hunting of wild game be-
came a vocation or profession. as the
case might be, strange and unusual
experiences have been told by hunters
One Of such tales was recited this week
by two local sportsmen. This is their
story:
While at the ponds south of town
on the opening day, Monday, they were
shooting into flock of ducks when
err than the Others, suddenly swoop
down and alight on the back Of one OF
those beneath. The added weight was
apparently too much for the under
bird and he was compelled to make
a forced landing. This landing was
made in the sagebrush about 100 yards
from one of hunters who dropped his
gun and ran over to the spot expecting
to pick up his first duck of the sea-
son.
Imagine his surprise when he got
there to see large chicken hawk get
up and fly away. While standing Won
dering, the hunter spied the duck hid
ing behind sagebrusil He walked
over with the intention of picking up
the bird but just as he reached for
it, it suddenly darted out and took off.
That was the first chapter. The Sec
ond was just as good. Listen:
The duck flew back toward the pond
and circled it couple Of times dur
ing which it came within range of
the other hunter who fired one or two
unsuccessful shots at it. Then the
hawk showed up again and repeated
the previous performance. This time
the two came down in the sagebrush
about 200 yards away. Both hunters
with their guns in readiness, rushed
over to the spot and again the hawk
made his getaway but the duck was
apparently too badly injured to fly
and was easily captured.
That is all there is to the story ex
cept that the two men say if they
can enter into a deal, on some kind
of commission basis, with the hawk,
they won't have to worry much about
the price of ammunition or their abil-
ity to get the bag limit.

Irrigation District to
Elect Three Directors

Notices will be posted the last of
this week for the annual election of
directors of the Priest Rapids irrigation
district. Three directors are to be ell
ected, one for term of three years,
one for two years and one for one wear
At the election last year w. s. WEBB
Der was elected for the three year
term, w. j. Kincaid for the two year
term and G.. T. Slavens for the one
year term. However, all three resigned
December 81, 1880, and were immedi-
ately appointed to the same positions
by the board of county commission
ers. This action was taken upon the
advice of the districts attorney and
was done to avoid the raising of any
possible technical legal questions con-
corning any of the acts of the board
The designations, however, make it
necessary to elect all three members
this year as appointments are effective
only until the next general election
The election will be held Tuesday
December 8, at the brick school house
and the polls will be open from p.
m. until 8 p. m. Voting will be by
ballot.
Those qualified as electors under the
laws of the state of Washington re-
lating to irrigation districts are en-
titled to vote.

Christmas Seals Forbidden
On Foreign Parcels

According to notice received from the
postoffice department at Washington,
D. c., Christmas parcels destined for
foreign countries this year must not
carry Christmas seals of any kind on
the address side. All seals or orna-
ments of any kind on foreign pack
ages must be on the reverse side from
the address. The reason for the change
is the difficulty foreign clerks have in
distinguishing the seals from the Of
ficial postage stamps. The order does
not apply to packages for U. s. A.
addresses. Failure to observe the rule
will send packages to the dead letter
office.

Many Duck Hunters Make
Most of Short Season
BY JAMES W. BROOKS
AT JAMESTOWN. VIRGINIA

The opening of the duck season
Monday noon found fairly represen-
tative group of local hunters at the
ponds. No large bags were reported
but nearly every hunter got one or
more birds.
1t is believed that all of the ducks
here now were locally Matched as the
weather has not been wintry enough
yet to bring many in from the north
G. I. Motteler of Wenatchee, who
owns the string of ponds south and
east of the McCord Taylor-D. j. Burch
road and west of the road from
Grants Corner to the de Veuve place,
is spending the hunting season on his
to see that none but those
who have bought permits hunt there.
So far few geese have been seen,
but they are expected to arrive in
large numbers with the advent of the
first real cold spell so that hunters
will be able to bag a few before the
close of the season at shutdown, De-
cember IS.
