Montana Also
Takes Action
BY ELLIOTT METCALF
Times Sports Editor

Washington and Montana hunt
ers through a committee and gov
ernor, respectively, have asked fed
eral authorities for an extension Of
the 1889 duck season to Dec. IS.
Mild weather. combined with
similar bright skies in the Cam
adam duck lands. has halted the
migration Of the northern bir0s
upon which this district depends.
The request was based Gnon
the climatic conditions that
prevailed during the regular
duck season. Oct. % to Dec. 5,
inclusive.
The Washington wire was sent
by the Washington State Migra-
tory Bird committee composed Of
John T. Dalton and Wilmot II.
Lilly, chairman and vice chairman,
of Seattle.
Gov. Roy E. Ayres. Montana.
upon a plea of sportsmen, made
the request in behalf of his state.
The Washington wire was sent
to the Bureau of Biological Survey.
Gov. Ayres' wire went to the
bureau and President F. d. Roose-
welt, as well.
The Washington wire read:
Our committee of hunters in
the state has unanimously passed
a resolution insisting your bureau
extend the 1899 migratory bird
season for Washington until Dec.
rs.
"All game bird authorities
agree the mild weather has de-
layed the migration from the
north. causing poor shooting
conditions. Purchasers of Ii
censes and migratory duck
stamps entitle us to season
sufficiently long to allow rea-
sonable bird bags without in
jury to your propagation and
conservation program.
please wire collect what pro-
cedure is necessary to present a
petition for extension to your bur-
eau for immediate action"
The contentious are absolutely
correct.
Because of the summary and
MINDLESS weather, the migration
from the north has been the light
est in years, If not in history.
That in the face of a great in
crease among the fast flyers in
the United States and Canada.
The birds have been content
to remain in their natural
breeding and feeding grounds
In the north, grounds where
they have protection.
Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars have been spent on leases
of duck lands, and their MAN.
tenances. That goes on year after
year. Under the circumstances
the hunters feel they are entitled
to a fair bit of sport when the
weather works against them.
The 1889 situation out here in
the west might well be called an
emergency and request for an ex-
tension could be based upon that
angle of things.
Whether Washington and
Montana will get anywhere,
is a matter of conjecture. The
odds are 100 to l against
favorable action by the fed
eral authorities who undoubt.
ly feel that the adverse duck
weather has been natures
method Of aiding man in duck
conservation.
However, If Idaho, Oregon and
California sportsmen took similar
steps chances for favorable action
might be better.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Soaring
commodities today took the specula-
tive play almost entirely away from
securities markets.
With cotton futures bounding up
nearly 81 bale at the highest, to
the best levels in two years, and
other samples exhibiting strength,
daWdling stocks and bonds made
relatively poor showing.
While war demand was credited
for the sprint in industrial commod-
ity quotations, both here and abroad,
shares which might also be benefit
ted later by European purchasing of
goods in America barely lifted their
heads during the days slow-going
session.
The stock list got off to a hesi-
tant start, worked up a slight rally
ing temperature at intervals and
closed with trends decidedly in
definite. The turnover was around
that of yesterday or approximately
100000 shares.
Steels, motors, merchandisings
and rails occasionally were in the
advancing column, but few ever
were up more than minor fractions.
Final prices were a shade either
way, with numerous issues where
they finished Monday.

Any Ones Guess
ION War Is Good;
Hull States

One persons opinion on prospects
Of peace or war in Europe is about
as good as another's at this time,
Secretary of State Hull said today.
Sometimes the situation looks bet
ter and at other times it looks
worse, he explained, adding, You
can take your choice"
Mr.. Hull made this comment in
explaining why he was reserved in
expressing his own opinion on the
European situation. He said the
United States Government was be-
ing kept fully informed of develop
ments abroad, but that the situation
changed so rapidly that if he did
express an opinion, he might have
to correct it before an hour had
passed.
The Secretary said he had been
informed of the general nature of
Chancellor Hitler's latest message to
Great Britain, but did not have a
copy of the text.
His conversation this morning
with Lord Lothian, the new British
Ambassador, was along the usual
lines for such an occasion when a
representative of another govern
ment first comes here, Mr.. Hull said
He added that it was a general dis
cussion in which no decisions or con-
clusions were called for. He said
Lord Lothian brought no special
message from his government.
