THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 



The committee having the matter in charge obtained a de- 

 sign of a very handsome button which is to be the insignia of 

 membership in the new club. For a 20-pound fish a bronze button 

 will be given. For larger fish silver and gold buttons will be 

 awarded. 



To start the club sixteen members have volunteered to equip 

 themselves with the prescribed tackle, and use it in salmon fish- 

 ing. From this number officers for the first year will be 

 elected, but with the condition that any of the volunteers who 

 fail to qualify within the year by catching his fish shall be sus- 

 pended until he does qualify. 



ANGLERS ATTENTION. 



We are very anxious to have reports from anglers as to the 

 species of fish caught in different streams of this State. We are 

 gathering data to determine if possible the species of fish that 



inhabit the various creeks, rivers and lakes of the State. The 

 black-spotted or cut-throat trout and the rainbow trout and the 

 Dolly Varden are the native species. During the past two years 

 large number of eastern brook trout have been liberated in 

 various streams throughout the State. It is of importance to the 

 Game Department to have reports from anglers as to whether 

 any of these eastern brook trout are caught, so as to judge 

 whether the introduction of these fish is a success or a failure. 



STATE CONVENTION OF SPORTSMEN. 



Letters have been sent out by the Multnomah Anglers' Club 

 to rod and gun clubs and other sportsmen's organizations 

 throughout the state suggesting that a convention of sportsmen 

 be held about the middle of January. It was planned at first to 

 have this meeting in November, but several sportsmen in different 

 sections of the state have suggested January 16 and 17, which will 

 be after the close of the hunting season.
