Special i'crmits For Sage Grouse Special permits are still avail- able for the hunting ol Grouse in Sage eight of the fourteen dis-tricts over the State that were op- ened to such hunting this year, ac-cording to Department spokesmen. As of this date, the following districts and number of permits remaining for each are Beaver 52 Pa"uitch Lake, 81 , Hatch,' 64! John's Valley, 53, Bear Valley, 44 Dog Valley, 45 Monticello, 39, and Fremont 61. The above permits are being sold on a first come first served basis at the offices of the State Fish and Game Department 1596 West North Temple, Salt Lake City, Ut- - ah.. Application may be made in person or by mail. Cost of these permits is $3.00. Applicants must possess either a game bird or-- combination hunting and fishing license to be eligible to apply for a Sage Grouse permit. Dates Tor this hunt are Sept. 15-1- Satuday and Sunday. Four birds represent both bag and possession limit. This is double the number of birds allowed on this hunt last yea;. Present cycle of the State's Sage Grouse is .on the up trend. Early field surveys showed ample Sage Grouse to warrant good hunting without danger of loss of breed stock in the districts opened to hunting. Department spokesmen are hope-ful that the cycle for this fine game bird will remain upward so more of the State's hunters may participate. They urge those sportsmen wish-ing to hunt Sage Grouse this year to apply as soon as possible for the remaining permits on the dis-tricts listed. . 40 YEARS AGO .1) From the riles . . . . The most successful and enjoy-able encampment the Indian vet-erans of the Department of Millard County ever held was that at Oak City on Wednesday Thursday and Friday of last week. The editor (Norman B. Dresser) spent the three days with the veterans and j their friends and he certainly had the time of his life. Every settle-ment in the county sent its quota of veterans and other visitors and the school house square was 'filled with tents and camp wagons. A good many campers occupied the shady street in front of the school house, while others found quarters with the hospitable people of Oak City. Many amusing features were in-troduced. One was an Indian between N. S. Bishop and A. E. Huber in. which the latter near-ly talked an arm off Mr. Bishop. We don't believe either one under-stood the other, for one talked Mowri and other Pahvant. Friday afternon the annual elec-tion was held. Commander Kelly was anxious to be relieved of his arduous duties, but the comrades wouldn't have it; he was just the man for the place, and after a nummber of commendatory spee-ches he was unanimously Mr. Kelly accepted the posi-tion with the understanding that his staff should be reappointed, which was accordingly done. The department officers 'for the coming year are therefore as folows: Com-mander, Virgil Kelly; Peter Hunts-- I man, vice; T. W. Cropper, adjutant general; W. V. Black, chaplain; F. W. Slaughter, chorister. In view of the skill displayed by J. H. Langs-to-he was made surgeon general. Millard department was organiz-ed in 1902 with about 148 members this did not include al the veterans oi the county. Qualifications for membership was the applicant had participated in the Indian wars 1 in Utah or should be the oldest son of a deceased veteran. Commander Kelly is an old Indian fighter and for years had charge of five tribes of Indians in Southern Utah for the United States Government. He has seen much active service and his stories of old times are inter-esting. DOINGS DOWN AT DESERET f am very sorry to have to write of the very serious accident that hapened to one of our esteem-ed young men, Mr. Clark Allred, son of T. B. and Kate Cropper All-re- d. Mr. Allred having contracted to haul and stack Mr. John Roger's lucerne seed crop, he was busy un-loading a load of seed hay, when the crane derrick that was being used broke and fel, striking the ' young man on the head, cutting and bruising him very badly" knoc king him down and rendering him unconscious. He was carried to his home, and Dr. C. A. Broaddus was called in who examined his wounds and sewed up the cut. He found the skull fractured. He lay for several hours unconscious and ram bling in his speech. It was feared that he had concussion of the brain, but at the present writing ( he seems to be improving, but complains of the soreness in his head and neck. The pole also fell across and on to team being used. It was thought that one of them would die, but she is also getting along nicely. . Some of our boys and girls thought they would have a jolly time and a watermelon feast the other night, but met a severe dis-appointment, as the owner wanted those special melons for his own private benefit, so lay in wait 'for them betwen some corn rows and while some of the boys were thum-ping and testing ' the ripeness of of the same he silently arose and ordered them to stop which they did. He then fired a salute for his victory over their heads and march ed them off to the officer. Next day the boys visited the owner and begged his pardon, which he granted and the case dropped so far without a complaint being filed THE WEEK AT OASIS The ward conference was held Sunday, the 10th, with President A. A. Hinckley, and counsellors, Orvil Thompson and also stake clerk Wilis E. Robinson. A business matter was attended to. That of releasing Milton Moody as being first counsellor.
