Sunday First Day
OF Hunting Season

Local hunters are anxiously awaiting
the rapidly nearing opening Of hunt
ing seasons on birds and big game. Ac-
cording to the state game department,
1885 is expected to be a banner year
for game, as all big game and most
species Of birds have increased. Con-
tributing factors include favorable
weather when most young game was
at critical stages, smaller bags last
season, the heavy propagation program
of the department, and destruction OF
many predatory animals in local drives.
Next Sunday, October 10, will open
jump dates season on upland game
birds and week later the curtain will
rise on 13-day deer and bear season.
Dates of the china pheasant, hun
garian partridge and quail season are:
October 10, 16, 10, 20, %, q and 30
and November 2, and 6. Shooting is
allowed from one-half hour before
sunrise to sunset on each of these days
Daily bag limits are three china
pheasants but not to exceed two hens,
five hungarians and eight quail. Pos
session limits are double daily limits.
Daily mixed bag limit is 10 birds but
not to exceed the limit of any one
species, and the mixed possession limit
is 20 birds but not to exceed the pos
session limit on any one species
The deer season opens Sunday, Oc-
tober 20, the bag limit being one buck
with forked antlers. The bear season
is coincidental with the deer season
and the limit is one bruin. Districts
closed to bear and deer hunting are
Adams, Benton, Douglas, Franklin
Grant, Lincoln and Whitman counties
and cambridge Island in Kitsap coun-
ty.
Elk season is open from November
3-15 in Asotin, Columbia, Garfield
Kittitas, Walla Walla and Yakima
counties. The bag limit is one bull elk
with branched antlers.
The other major hunting season, on
migratory waterfowl, opens October 81
and closes November 10, with number
of new regulations governing the sport
The state. game department has in
augurated a number of regulations this
season which will affect all hunters
Upland bird or duck hunters using
pump or automatic shotguns must
have them plugged SO that there car
be not more than two shells in the
magazine, while in the field. Big game
hunters will find their regular deer tag
attached to their license no good this
season and must purchase one OF the
new metal big game tags, which cost!
SO cents One of these tags must bt
J secured for each species of ANNA
being hunted. Elk hunters, in addition
must follow the annual regulations O.
purchasing state hunting license ant
: special elk hunting license, which
costs an additional five dollars.
In a final word to hunters prepar
ing to take to the fields the stat
game department urges all to be ex
tremely careful in handling firearm
as a precaution against accidents.

Yesterday morning the engine

large black sewer rats, but also
contained large spotted tom
cat which appeared to have
joined forces with the rats in an
effort to escape.

BAD PLUMBING
! ISPR0BLEMT0


Inability of the District Plumb
ing Inspection Service to enforce
the law forbidding "croSS connec-
lions" in water systems, which
allow back-Syphonage and con-
termination of the city's drinking
water supply, was admitted by
District officials today.
The law, enacted seven years
ago, has been partially effective
in insuring proper water system
construction since that time, Of
ficials say, but the chief problem
is in the vast amount Of residence
and business property which had
its water system installed before
the law was passed.
Enforcement of the regulation
lies in the hands of the Commits
sioners and the Police Courts, &C.
cording to A. R. McGonegal, chief
of the Plumbing Inspection Dl-
vision of the District. But dis
covery of the cross connections
lies in the jurisdiction OF the
plumbing inspectors, and there
any attempts at enforcement are
forestalled.
Force Reduced
Mr.. McGonegal said today:
"The impOssibility of enfOrc.
ing this law may be laid di'
rectIy to the numerical mad
equacy of our inspection force.
The enactment of the economy
provisions reduced the force to
nine men and their autOmO-
bile expense allowance has been
removed entirely, making cover
age of the District of Columbia
doubly difficult. One of the in
SpectOrS has to cover II square
miles of territory, and thus it
is evident that with the volume
of complaints that come into
this office, there is little chance
of probing into individual
cases."
The menace of the cross connec-
ton of water systems has been
recognized by the United States
Public Health Service. After study
ing means of control Of amoeblc
dysentery, the service officially
recommended:
Require the elimination of all
possible contamination of drink
ing water supplies by cross con.
nectiOnS and similar sources.
This applies especially to hotels
and eating places"
CHICAGO CASE
Cross connections in Chicago
gave nationwide notoriety to that
city two years ago, concluded Mr..
McGonegal. He added:
But through the efforts of
Major Joel Connolly and DIR. Her
man Mundeson, of the Chicago
Board of Health, the entire Loop
was cleared. We can do the
same thing in Washington, if
properly stated"
Section 38-A of the District of
Columbia Code provides:
"NO water service pipe or sup
ply pipe connected with the pub
lie mains shall be cross con-
nected in any manner to or with
any pipe supplied with water
from a we'll, cistern, river, or any
other source than the public
mains. No plumbing fixture
shall be approved for install
latiOn which is so constructed
that a cross connection between
water supply and waste, or be-
tween two separate water sup
plies is possible"
