Chairman Hall said that the call
for the 1856 Republican National
Convention has not yet been auth
orized by the Republican National
Committee but that it would likely
be issued later this year or very
early in 1856, at which time the
official apportionment of delegates
would be certified.
Brown had asked the Chairman
of both parties for the delegate
and alternate information to aid
his office in early preparation of
the 1856 Primary ballots.
PlarIs for the 1856 election are
being made simultaneously with
the planning and administration of
matters incident to the 1855 Gen.
eral Election, which will be held
November 8.
AS the 1856 declaration of cam
,didacy blanks are prescribed they
will be forwarded, from time to
time, to the SO Boards of Elections,
Brown said, SO that they may have
ample time to provide the supplies
needed to serve prospective candi-
dates in next years political races.

Planning Now For

Although the February 8 dead

forms for state, county, and district

are in process. The new blanks are
necessary to conform to changes

Secretary of State Brown has

Gates Ohio will have 10 delegates

Authorities claim they will
adapt themselves to suitable
country thousands of miles from
their native China. Among their
dominant characteristics are their
extreme wariness, strong, rapid
and prolonged flight and an un-
willingness to cross with the true
pheasants, including the ring
neck"
Owing to the fact that only cer-
tain localities, rugged, broken hilly
country, are adapted for the sue
cessful acclimatization and shoot
ing of this fine bird, southeastern
Ohio seems like an ideal spot for
them.
With a flying speed much faster
than any of the other pheasants,
unrivalled beauty, great hardihood
and cunning. the reeves pheasant
practically fulfills all the condi-
tions necessary to provide good
hunting. Game management men
have their fingers crossed with the
hope this bird, with the fiee foot
tail, will like his surrounding in
Ohio's hill country. If he does and
reproduces his kind, pheasant hun
ters of northern Ohio may find
themselves travelling to southern
Ohio to hunt the willy reeves phea
cant

SPORTS
College Athletics
High In Injuries

CHICAGO-Dying for dear old
Rutgers may be an exaggeration,
but college athletics do account for
almost one out of three injuries to
college students.
That was revealed by a special
study of student injuries at IL COL
leges made by the National Safety
Council and the American College
Health Association and reported in
the 1855 edition of the Council S
statistical book, Accident
Facts" just off the press.
The study showed that an aver
age of one out of nine students was
injured during the school year.
Athletics led the list of causes, with
residence accidents, recreation,
motor vehicle and laboratory the
next most important causes.

Reeves Pheasants
Down In The Hills

Game management men in the
Ohio Division of Wildlife have high
hopes that hunters in the hill coun-
ties of Ohio may someday have
some fine wing shooting, something
they haven't had since quail were
placed on the protected list.
For number of years thousands
of ring-necked pheasants were
stocked in southern and southeast
ern Ohio with the hope the birds
might establish themselves but
they never did.
Under program developing new
game birds for Ohio, Eugene Kno-
der a technician in the game sect
ion, has been experimenting with a
number of pheasant species and
has had early indications that the
reeves pheasant may take liking
to the hill country.
Several stockings of adult ree-
YES pheasants were made during
1854, one on the Brush Creek
Wildlife Area in jefferson County
and the other on an island in Tap
pan Lake in Harrison County. Both
of these paintings were, to some
extent, successful as several broods
of juveniles have been seen.
Approximately 200 reeves phea-
SAINTS will be available for release
on selected sites during September
and October, 1855. Counties in
which the birds are to be released
are Harrison and Meigs. In addi-
ton to the birds to be released,
some 130 will be held for next
years production. The goal for
next year is 600 to 800 Juveniles.
The reeves pheasant is different
from our ring-necked pheasant in
many ways, including range, food
habits, nesting, etc. In their na-
tive home in central and northern
China they feed on beans, acorns
fruits and vegetables. In contrast
to the ring-neck they prefer to nest
in rather heavy woods rather than
hay fields, high weeds. etc.

While this report may seem pes
simistic, more optomistic report
comes from Canada where the
duck crop is infinitely better than
last year at this time. The pro-
vinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan
and Manitoba are all reporting
fair to good results from early
nestings. Saskatchewan reports the
best surface water conditions with
in living memory and duck crop
in sight now which, with the re-
nesting hatch still to come, prom
ises to match or surpass the bump
er crop of 1852.
With a great percentage OF
Ohios waterfowl coming from the
Canadian Provinces, Ohio duck
hunters may look forward to some
good duck shooting during the 1885
season. In the final analysis, how
ever, the weatherman will be the
deciding factor.

Duck Picture Is
Fairly Good Now

A recent survey by field work.
ers of the Division of Wildlife has
shown that while wood ducks are
showing an increase in Ohio in
1855, other species such as mall
ards, black ducks and blue-winged
teal have shown a decrease.
Stream surveys indicate an in
crease in the number of wood duck
and mallard broods with a slight
increase in the average brood size
At the Delaware Reservoir Area in
central Ohio, an increase vas not
ed in the number of wood duck
broods with a decrease in the NAL
lards and blue-winged teal
The wood duck nest box checks
indicated about a 1870 increase
over last year in the degree of util-
ization. 1t appears that statewide
there has been a definite increase
in the wood duck populations with
a decrease in the mallard, black
duck and blue-winged teal produc-
tion.

Maner's Maumee Store

Back in 1872 Peter Maner had a
trading post in Maumee-on the east
side of the later town under the hill
beside the river where a paper mill
afterwards stood. Maner was friend
ly with the savages, well liked by
them and had mostly Indian trade.
A French Canadian who long had
been in the Hudson Bay fur trade,
he knew the Pottawattomies, Otta-
was, Delawares and Shawnees well
and spoke their languages fluently.
firing of the rigors of the north, he
had come down into Ohio and had
opened the store there
Other than Maner few settlers yet
were along the Maumee River and
most of them were on the Perrys-
burg side OF the stream-the Spaf-
ferds, Pratts, Wilkinsons and other
venturesome families.
The Indians were friendly to the
British and though repeatedly warn
ed by Maner that he had informa-
ton from the savages that the set
tlenent soon was to be raided, the
families there had made no move to
leave the place.
One evening just at dark an In
dian scout, friend of Maner, came
to the store, filled up on the mer-
chants venison and bominy and smok
ed his pipe then settled himself for
chat. In just four days 1000 Pot
tawattomies would be there to scalp
the white people but would come to
see Manner first, the Indian divulged.
He added that Maner> and his own
family would be safe and. unharmed
because he was the Indians friend
and had been made chief and adopt
ed into their tribe.
Maner had been expecting such
move for long time and when the
Indian had rolled himself in his
blanket and had gone to sleep the
white trader crossed the river in the
dark and warned the settlers to
leave at once.
Despite the urgent warning they
did not go and on the fourth day at
sunup the friendly scout came
again and pointed to where the sun
would be--the Indians would be there
at 10 o'clock, he said. The raid was
imminent and there was no time to
be lost.
Maner told his wife to feed the
Indian well, enough to make him
sleepy, then making some excuse
again crossed the river to warn the
settlers there to evacuate and to do
it at once. Most of them were women
and children-the men Were away
at war.
The refugees got started a little
after sunrise. With their flocks a
head and what they could load on
wagons they streamed down the dirt
road towards the Black Swamp and
Findlay, passing through a small
prairie where Manner and others hac
been cutting hay.
Ten o'clock came and with it the
Indians. The chief Immediately de
manded to know where the white
settlers were and was told they haC
