THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 15 



Clanton said he was finding it a hard task to maintain the high effi- 

 ciency for which his staff has always been noted. 



The officers of the league, Dr. E. C. McFarland, president; W. N. 

 Matlock, Pendleton, first vice-president; Dr. J. G. Gill, Lebanon, sec- 

 ond vice-president, and S. A. Bartrum, secretary-treasurer, were unan- 

 imously re-elected. 



Following the close of the business session, more than 300 sports- 

 men and their friends engaged in a sumptuous grilled venison dinner in 

 the main dining room of the Chamber of Commerce. 



Dr. E. C. McFarland was toastmaster. After patriotic remarks by 

 Governor Withycombe and Mayor George L. Baker, W. L. Finley, state 

 biologist, showed five reels of the state 's moving pictures illustrating 

 some interesting and educational views of angling in the Eogue and 

 Umpqua Rivers; Upper Klamath Lakes and Willamette Falls. Flocks of 

 wild geese dotting the islands in the Upper Columbia River, as well as 

 many other interesting views of wild game in different parts of the 

 state, were exhibited. 



Lew Hubbard's real jazz band provided music and other diversions 

 during the banquet. 



MY HILLS 



By Gertrude K. Lambert, in Sports Afield 



Far off at the head of the valley 



My hills, wrapped in purple sheen, 

 Stand guarding in solemn silence 



The forests and fields between. 

 Graceful and bold in outline 



Traced on the eastern sky, 

 Unheeding through storm and sunshine 



As the changing years go by. 



I watch them at early morning 



On a background of shining dawn, 

 With drapery of mist adorning, 



That fades as the day comes on; 

 I watch them when noon-days strengthen 



Their grandeur in glory of light; 

 I watch them when shadows lengthen 



And drown them in shades of night. 



At their feet Life's human endeavor 



Drifts by with its ebb and flow, 

 Yet they stand, in their strength forever 



As the seasons come and go. 

 And I say to my heart, "Be ye cheerful 



And await what the Maker wills, 

 Ever calm, serene and unfearful, 



As stand, through the ages, my hills. ' '
