EXPANSION - This is the architect's dr•wing of how the
offices and sales area will look with the completion
program announced here this week. The above scene is
taking from the northwest corner of the present building, with a sizeable
expansion planned on the front of the structure.
The population of Othello
will take its annual temporary
climb here this weekend when
another hunting season opens
in the state•
Although checks show
pheasant counts are down
from last year, a heavy influx
of hunters from all parts of
the state is expected in the
area for the opening weekend
of shooting.
State Wildlife Agent Jerry
Limon said pheasant popu-
lations appear to be down
from 20 to 30 per cent in the
local area, but noted that he
still expected lots of hunters
to be on the "lines" when the
season officially opens at noon
Saturday.
He explained that the
number of carry-over birds
was comparable to last year,
but that the early rains and
cool spring weather hampered
the area bird hatch.
Checks show lots of late
hatches with many uncolored
birds expected to be found by
the opening day hunters•
"This should help provide
some birds for later in the
season," Limon said.
Split Season
The wildlife agent ex-
plained that the season will be
split again this year. It will
close on Nov. 3~ following the
Oct. 12 opening, and then
re-open again on Nov. 16 and
run to Dec. 31. The limit will
be the same at three birds per
day and 15 in possession.
Limon also explained crop
plantings will also probably
hurt general hunting success
in the area this fall. He noted
that there are fewer corn and
sugar beets in the area, and
this will probably mean more
open fields and less cover for
birds.
The amount of acres under
the "feel free to hunt"
program is also expected to be
down a little from last year,
although signings were still
being completed this week.
Limon said the acreage
Basin-wide under the pro-
gram should be about 70,000
acres.
Waterfowl Too
Also opening on Saturday
will be the 1974 waterfowl
season, with the bird count
also an undetermined factor.
Limon reported that there
is a good resident population
of both ducks and geese in the

year.
District enrollment as of
Oct. 1, 1974, stood at 2,329,
compared with 2,335 for the
same time last year. How-
ever, totals show a gain for
the first six grades and a drop
in the top six. K to sixth totals
for last year were 1,309 and
up to 1,318 this year.
The 7 to 12 grades had a
decrease of 15 going from
1,026 to 1,011.
City Accident
Damages High
Damages of more than
$2,000 were reported from a
two-car collision which oc-
curred in Othello Monday
about 4:05 p.m. at the
intersection of 13th and
Larch.
Police reported a 1973
sedan driven by Peggy Ellen
Reichert, 19, Route 1, was
westbound on Larch when it
collided with a 1973 station
wagon operated by Ronald
Dean Regalado, 16, 1231
Spruce.
Police said Regalad~ was
northbound on 13th and was
cited for failing to yield.
Damages were estimated at
$1,200 to the Reichert car and
$1,000 to the Regalado ve-
hicle.
As a result of an accident
Monday Stewart W. Isaacson,
28, Othello, was treated at the
Connell Clinic for possible
back injuries. The patrol said
a pickup truck he was driving
and a ear driven by Dianna
Akins, 20, Othello, collided at
Sagehill and Hendricks roads.
According to the patrol, the
Akins car started to pass as
Isaacson was making a left
turn.
The •other three accidents
were involved one vehicle
each and occurred last week-
end.
At 10 p.m., Saturday, Ray
DeLeon, 17, Othello, did $600
damage to his 1973 domestic
compact when he failed to
negotiate a curve on McMan-
noman road, five miles north
of Othello. The vehicle spun
once and rolled to its side in
the accident. DeLeon was not
hurt.
Robert Boersma, 18, Othel-
lo, struck and killed a calf
standing in SR24, four miles
south of Othello, at 7:55 p.m.,
Sunday. Five hundred dollars
damage was done to Boers-
ma's 1974 pickup.
At 3:45 a.m., this Monday,
Rafael Quintero, 19, Othello,
totaled his 1973 sedan, when
he swerved to miss a dog on
SR 17, 12.8 miles south of
Othello, and rolled the vehicle
off the road. The car came to
rest on its top, but Quintero
was not ijured.
