The third annual meeting of the Oregon Sportsmen’s League, held 
in Portland, December 19th and 20th, was more successful in point of 
attendance, enthusiasm and genuine work accomplished than any pre- 
vious meeting of this representative sportsmen’s organization. 
Since the birth of the Oregon Sportsmen’s League, the member- 
ship of which is composed of the different rod and gun clubs and game . 
protective associations of the entire state, rapid advancement has been 
made in the work of educating the people that conservation of the 
wild life of the state is essential to the best interests of Oregon. It 
has been successfully demonstrated that the Oregon Sportsmen’s 
League is a most valuable factor in assisting the State Fish and Game 
Commission, and other officials charged with the protection and 
propagation of fish and game, in carrying forward and building up one 
of the most valuable of the State’s assets. These facts having been 
established, the League began the fourth year of its existence on a 
more solid foundation and with renewed enthusiasm and a determina: 
tion to bend every energy to attain greater results in the year to come. 
The first day of the League meeting was devoted to pleasure. 
During the day the delegates in attendance were the guests of the 
Portland Gun Club at their club grounds at Jenne Station, where they 
were royally entertained by the members of the club. Trap-shooting 
and fly-casting contests, and a hunter’s iunch were among the special 
features of entertainment enjoyed by the visitors.
