SAN FRANCISCO. April 13. — Ac
I cording to John J. Harnett, deputy
fish and game commissioner of Ven
Jturu county, the principal weakness
in the average game preservation law
j lies in the fact that while fishermen
and limiters who violate them are
I brought to task' little or nothing is
'done in a systematic way to kill off
|
‘the depredating creatures which prey
Jon the fish, birds and animals it is
hoped to conserve.
* While pol limiters and fishermen
[ are responsible for considerable kill •
E ing of garni out ol season, the so
E called ‘ vermin' are at work all the
E time, and do an incalculable amount
E of damage. Harnett proposes to in
[ augurale a war on these pests, and
[ will stari the I ill rolling with a
[ mountain lion hunt in which men and
| dogs will take part. He figures that
* affairs of this kind can.be success
i
> fully staged by reason of the fact
»
p that it provides good and exciting
, sport to the participants. The hunt
! will be held on a number of the larger
ranches of the county, where these
mountain lions have been quite de
structive.
By the same token the Oregon state
’game warden lias been petitioned by
| the Newport Boil and Gun Club, ask
ing that an open season be declared
ion shags until July 1. These birds
me said to subsist almost entirely on
small fish, and they are responsible
annually lor the destruction of thou
sands of salmon (rout and oilier food
fish. Hundreds of them are reported
feeding on the fish at Yaqnlna, Alseu
and Silotz buy. and oilier waters. Per
mission already lias been granted I y
spoilsmen in Coos county to kill tin .1 •
shags, which is a species of cormorant
and a voracious feeder.
