another evidently made an unsuc- 

 cessful attempt to fly across the 

 lake, his body drifting ashore at 

 the south end, and nothing has been 

 heard of the other ten. One pair 

 was seen at the upper end of the 

 lake shortly after they were turned 

 loose, but they have not been seen 

 now for some time. — Lakeview Ex-

Mr. Wm. La Sater, Deputy Game 

 Warden of Silver Lake, in speaking 

 of conditions in his district, says: 

 ' ' There are thousands of ducks and 

 geese in the Sycan Marsh, Silver 

 Lake and near the mouth of Annie 

 River on Summer Lake. As usual, 

 the Chewaucan Marsh is literally 

 alive with these birds and duck 

 shooting is good; the most common 

 ducks are Mallards, Canvasbacks 



and Pintails. ' '

 trapped 33 coyotes, 20 skunks and 

 one bobcat in one week. They are

 Shelburn, the junction of the Wood- 

 burn-Eastern Railroad and the 

 Woodburn-Natron branch of the

 game refuge, reports that tiw.

H. B. Van Duzer, the president 

 of the Multnomah Anglers Club, 

 came home with a fine catch of 

 sea-run trout recently. For a long 

 time Van has hoped for a real catch 

 of trout, and on a trip to the Cow- 

 litz River a short time ago his 

 dreams were realized, for he re- 

 turned with a full creel. The fish 

 were caught by Mr. Van Duzer and 

 not donated to him by a good- 

 hearted farmer, as it was reported. 



George Shirley and W. H. Harmon 

 made a trip to tne upper Sandy 

 after salmon, which came near end- 

 ing disastrously. They struck the 

 river above the Ravenue bridge, 

 among a labyrinth of deep gorges. 

 While climbing around a rocky cliff 

 Harmon slipped into a bottomless 

 pool, and Shirley nad to haul him 

 out with a 20-±oot sapling. No 

 fish were caught on this trip.
