GAME REARED FOR MARKET. 
Attorney General Atkinson, of the State of 
Washington, has written an oppinion, in re¬ 
sponse to the State Auditor, as follows: 
“In reply to your inquiry of March 24, sub¬ 
mitting a letter from Charles A. Kinnear. tne 
same having been referred to you as the officer 
who issues state hunting licenses, which letter 
reads as follows: 
“ ‘Price lists and information concerning the 
raising in confinement of pheasants and quail 
for their plumage, for the market and for bench 
show purposes, have been sent to me from 
pheasant farms in Illinois, Indiana, New York 
and Toronto, Canada. The information they 
give shows that the raising of certain varieties 
of pheasants for the market, and especially for 
their plumage (which is purchased by the millin¬ 
ery headquarters) is enormously profitable. 
“ ‘While I have no thoughts of entering into 
the business of raising pheasants for the market 
myself, the subject upon investigation is very 
interesting, and I have had inquiries from in¬ 
dividuals, farmers and poultry raisers in various 
parts of eastern Washington, for the names of 
eastern firms who can supply pheasants, and in¬ 
formation concerning the raising of the same, 
and also if there is anything in the laws of 
Washington which prohibits the offering for 
sale upon the open market of pheasants which 
hfive been hatched and reared by a hen in cap¬ 
tivity. 
‘“I therefore, in behalf of several farmers 
and other individuals of the State who desire 
to raise in captivity pheasants, grouse or quail 
for the market and' for bench show purposes, 
ask the following question: 
“ ‘In your opinion is there anything in the 
laws of the State of Washington prohibitory to 
the offering for sale in the open market of
