Vandals Destroying Wild Game.

The vandals seem determined to destroy the last vestige %f wild game, l’he laws of Oregon nnd Washington were enacted to protect the- nesting ground of wild ducks nnd geese upon the Columbia and tributary waters, but the Spokesman-Review says it is “the last of the goose; its roosting grounds along the Columbia have been Invaded. It is a peculiar fowl and when Its nest is disturbed tlie bird abandons it.” Such vandals should be •'.c-alt wit)i severely; but as a rule they are out of reach of the’law.
