BIRDS FACING HARD WINTER

It looks like a hard winter for the
pheasants, Hungarians, quail and
other ground feeding birds. Ray F..
James, state director of game, re
ports. The past two winters have
been mild. Little snow has permit
ted the birds to find more food
than usual. PAS result, the winter
death rate from starvation and ex-
posure has been low with result
ing increase of birds and excellent
hunting.
Heavy snowfall and sleet storms
frequently mean hunger for a large
number of ground feeding birds, /"
he states. BY establishing winter
feeding stations where needed,
sportsmen and others interested in
birds can do much this winter to
help insure a good crop of birds for
next year.
Feeding stations need be neither
expensive nor troublesome. Feeding
birds in the winter is largely a mat
ter of keeping suitable food above
the level of the snow or ice. Wheat,
corn or other grains may be used
for feeding. They may be fed on a
board placed just above the snow
line. Shelters are effective and may
be built by leaning few branches
against tree or fence and cover
ing with burlap, evergreens or corn
stalks Feeding stations are also ef-
fective when placed In the brush
along fences.
''The most effective feeding sta
ton is the least artificial. Farmers
who leave shocks of grain in the
field and keep the snow from pill
ing too high around them are doing
much to insure the birds obtaining
plenty of food during the winter.
"A winter feeding program is a
most worth while activity for any
sportsmens organization, and the
state game department will be glad
to furnish further information on
feeding, construction of shelters,
etc, to those who plan to come to
the aid of the birds this winter"

INLAND EMPIRE MINES
TRIPLE THEIR DIVIDENDS

SPOKANE - T h dividends de-
clared by mining companies of the
Occur d'A1ene region of Idaho in
1884 were $1,662,855 or more than
three times those of 1888 which were
$537, 1855. The increase is due to the
declaration of four 100000 divid-
ends in 1884 by the Hecla Mining
company as compared with a divid-
end of 100000 in 1888, and to the
declaration of $1,200,0O0 by the Sun
shine Mining company in 1884 as
compared with $375,000 in 1888.
Dividend declarations by mining
companies of Brtt,sr Columbia in
which residents of the Inland En-
pire are interested were 1897, us
greater in 1884 than 1888, the totals
having been $2,427,759 this year
and 81 $4,000 in 1888. If the
Bridge river properties were includ-
ed the increase this year over last
would be much greater.
The British Columbia increase is
creditable to the Consolidated Min
ing and Smelling company of Can
ada which will have paid $1,827,-
759 at the end of the year as COM
pared with $949 ,0444 in 1888.
Occur d'Alenes Gain
The total disbursements of the
Occur d'Alene region and of two
mines in British Columbia this year
will be $4,O9O,6144 as compared with
81, O86, 1899 i'm 1888. The increase is
$2,003,715 or nearly twice that of
1888.
The source of the increased pro-
fits in the Occur d'Alene has been
the increased price of silver. That
of southeastern British Columbia
may not be known until the annual
statements are Forthcoming from
the Consolidated Mining and Smelt-
ing company of Canada and the
provincial minister of mines, but it
seems a safe assumption that they
will be credited in part to the in
creased production and prices of
silver and gold.
The Premier Gold continued an
unbroken record of $15O,OOO quarter
~ and improved the outlook for
1885 by negotiating to operate in

State AAA Code
Upheld By Court
Superior Court Judge Decides In
Favor Of State Agricul-
tural Director

YAKIMA, Dec. 22-The states
agricultural adjustment act, which
embraces the growers code and
under which the apple orchard
lists marketing agreement was
drawn, was upheld here Friday
when Judge A. W.. Hawkins handed
down a decision holding the act
as constitutional
The superior court decision was
in favor of Walter j. Robinson,
state director of agriculture, who
filed suit to enjoin 10 principal
Yakima valley fruit shippers from
doing business in alleged violation
of regulations provided under the
act.
Judge Hawkins held that agricul-
ture is subject to regulations and
control under the police power Of
the state, that the legislature is
within it's powers to require a
license of a business, that the
state has the right to fix prices
and that power to regulate includes
power to impose reasonable charges
to raise money to cover expenses Of
administration of the regulatory
act.
Expect Quick Action
r. H. Parsons, Leavenworth,
president OF the growers code
organization, said that the court
decision meant that all phases of
the code become effective imme-
diately' and that if an appeal is
taken to the supreme court it will
not act as a stay on code activity.
Growers are of the opinion that
the assessments for administration
purposes will be collected at once.
While most dealers have made the
deductions from growers accounts
they have held up payment to the
code authority pending decision of
the superior court.
In deciding for the state, Judge
Hawkins, held, however, that the
director of agriculture has no
power to collect from the industry
an assessment for the purpose of
advertising the industrys products.
Under the marketing agreement a
part of the fund collected by the
1-cent a box assessment on apple
and pear growers is to be used for
advertising.

Change Suggested
In Highway Plan
Would Centralize Control Of All
Road Matters In State
Office

Announcement was made last
week by Governor Clarence D.
Martin of proposed new code
worked cut by Director of High
ways Lacey v. Murrow for control
of highway administration and
regulation of motor vehicles. This
will b., presented to the 1885 leg
islative session.
The proposal would absorb in
the state highway system all of
the roads in the state and abolish
county engineering departments and
county roads. There would be sys-
TENS of state roads, primary and
secondary but all centrally control
led.
The plan is expected to draw
much opposition from county Off
Gals who, were it adopted, would
lose control of the roads of their
counties.

squarely upon the shoulders OF
those who hunt. The state game
department and other agencies can
issue warnings and do, but whether
or not such warnings are needed
is up to the fellow with the gun.
Several hunters will have to
account to the state game commits
sion as result of hunting accidents
that occurred this fall before they
can ever be issued another hunting
license.
Complete Pheasant Planting
Since the close of the hunting
season, 2,026 pheasants have been
released in Washington game COW
ers. completing the planting OF
birds raised this year at the state
game farms. Some 5000 birds are
being held for breeders for the 1895
crop.
Approximately 22,781 game birds
were distributed during 1884, divid-
ed as follows: 16,839 Chinese pleas
ants; 1855 mutants; 704 Mongol-
ians; IS blacknecks and 1877 ring
neckS. In addition to this, ISL quail
were also liberated.
Explain Fish Count System
When the game department re-
ports the planting of millions OF
fish in public waters it may mean
that not more than a few thousand
of these fish have been counted
individually, according to William
Dunstan, superintendent of hatch-
cries. They are measured by the
pound or by averages and so accu-
rate has this system been found to
be that actual checking counts will
show but very minor errors.
The number per unit of measure
Is determined by counting out suf-
ficient fish to increase the weight
of the measuring bucket filled with
water one pound.
In counting fish eggs, the num-
Der is determined by counting the
eggs packed solid in a measure, and
this is so accurate that there will
be a variation OF only one or two
eggs in the counting of several
measures, Mr.. Dunstan says. Three
measures are usually counted, and
the average taken for the basis in
determining the number of eggs in
q lot.
There is a considerable variation
in the size Of fish eggs, even with
the same species, and therefore the
count per unit of measure must be
taken frequently in order to have
accurate record of the number being

Meandered Streams


The state game department re-
ceives numerous inquiries such as
the following: "Have the right to
pass along stream to fish and
hunt? Has the farmer the right to
put me off the banks of a stream?
Can farmer stop me from pass
ing up a stream in boat?" These
and numerous others rave prompt
ed the following explanation to
these questions.
The right of sportsmen to pass
along streams to hunt and fish is
governed by the fact as to whether
or not the stream is meandered.
A meandered stream is stream on
which the land owners property
line runs up to the meander line or
high water line established by the
original governm ent survey and is
an irregular line that followed the
high water mark.
The part of the stream between
the meander lines on each side of
the stream is public or state water
or land. On streams that are
meandered and are public streams,
the hunters and fishermen have
the right to pass up or down these
streams between the meander lines.
Streams that are not meandered
are not public waters. If the state
game department has stocked the
stream with fish, the fact that
has been stocked gives the depart
ment control over the taking of
fish and the right to require fish
ing license to take fish from these
streams. ~.
On streams that are not mean
dered, the land owner pays take
on the bed of the stream and there
more has control of the trespassing
along or on these streams. This
should explain why it is necessary
for sportsmen to ask for permission
to pass along or On these streams.
A new regulation of the state
game commission reduces the
charge for stamping beaver skins
from ten to five cents per skin
Beaver skins must be accompanied
by an affidavit made before some
person authorized to administer
oaths that each and every skin was
lawfully taken without the state of
Washington.
The annual permit fee of $1.00 to
be charged persons holding game
animals, birds, fish or fur bearing
animals for pleasure must be paid
by January /, of each year, accord
ing to the new ruling of the state
game commission. The date was
previously announced as January
20.
Ray F. James. director of game,
the members of the state game
commission and the personnel Of
the state game department, wish to
thank the sportsmen and all lovers
of wild life in the state of Washing
ton for their splendid cooperation
during the past year and to wish
you all Merry Christmas and a
Happv and Prosperous New Year!

TIMBER COUNTIES POINT
SUSTAINED YIELD NEED

AlAe ulSdSCfOuS eIIecC upon fami-
lies and communities of the present
cut-out-and-get-out" policy of
timber operation, as illustrated in
typical timber counties of Oregon
and Washington, was stressed bv
Regional Forester G. j. Buck in his
address before the Northwest Re
glonal Planning Council at Seattle.
December 12-14. Buck stated that
sustained yield forest MANAGEMENT
was the obvious remedy for the
present condition.
Buck stated that in a certain
county in Washington, timber land
In 1929 comprised $4,000 acres. as
sessed at $18,246,0OO or roughly 40
per cent Of the total county asses
sed valuation. In 1880 timber land
had shrunk to $4,000 acres asses
sed at $7,481 900. The uncut pri-
vately owned timber now represents
only II per cent of the area of the
county and of a total county popu-
lation Of 10000, more than IS per
cent are directly or indirectly de-
pendent on timber.
Valuations Decline
Buck cited a typical school dist
riot in this same county which
Showed an assessed valuation of
$84S, 900 in 1921, against an assessed
valuation of $228,cOO in 1881. After
ten years of logging, a 16 mill levy
was required in 1881 to raise as
much money as 4 mill levy in
1921. Taxes in this typical timber
district were 81 per cent delinquent
Tor from two to nine years.
Fires are being permitted to burn
the logged off land" said Buck,
and provision for new timber
crop is not being made. One-third
Of the area of the county is cla.s-
sified as logged since 1920, burned
or not satisfactorily restocking.
This county is facing problem
which vitality involves the welfare
OF thousands of families. It is
plain that all our timber counties
will inevitably face the same situa-
ton unless we are willing now to
replace our present boom and bust
procedure with a program of sus-
Idllitu CiIllDeT ylelQ management"
Bring Large Revenue
Buck pointed out that in normal
times timber brings into Oregon
and Washington approximately
$300,000,000 a year which furnishes
support for nearly a million people.
''The loss of this industry would
mean the gravest kind of social and
economic calamity" stated Buck.
Fortunately because of our large
reserve of virgin timber, this region
can adopt a sustained yield pro-
gram without the industrial cur
tailment necessary in states where
mature timber has been exhausted"
NJ Sustained yield, Buck explained,
means the management of timber
so that operations may be main
tanned permanently by the yield
that can be annually harvested
over a given area without exhaust
ing the supply. This has been the
European system for centuries. In
the final analysis, operation will
depend upon the growth of timber,
and Buck stressed the Importance
of intelligent choice of timber grow
ing land and careful forest man
agement for effective results.
