20 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 
the duties of said committee being to receive such complaints that 
might come from the rod and gun clubs and game protective associa- 
tions. 
Resolved, That the Oregon Sportsmtn’s League commend the work 
of the State Fish and Game Commission, and we recommend that the 
League, with its allied associations, cooperate very closely with the 
Fish and Game Commission in protecting our wild animal, bird and 
fish life. We further commend the policy of the Fish and Game 
Commission in its work of propagating trout fry for liberation in the 
streams of Oregon, for we realize that only through the constant re- 
stocking of our streams will there be a plentiful supply for the 
sportsmen of the state. We commend the legislative work of the 
Oregon Sportsmen’s League in the past year, and especially their 
splendid efforts in saving the game fund and the Commission. We 
feel that the sportsmen of Oregon owe much to the labors of this 
organization regarding all matters that came up before the Legislature. 
Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the railroad 
companies of Oregon rescind their recent order charging 10 cents per 
mile for the movement of the Rainbow—the State Hatchery fish car. 
Resolved, That we thank the sportsmen of Multnomah County, the 
management of the Imperial Hotel, and the railroad companies for all 
kindnesses shown us during this session of the League. 
The report of the Publicity Committee was adopted, as follows: 
“The Publicity Committee of the Oregon Sportsmen’s League, 
realizing the value of publicity in promoting any worthy work, re- 
spectfully recommends to the League as follows: 
“That the Secretary of the League supply to the Portland press as 
full a report of this year’s proceedings as the several papers are 
willing to publish. 
“That the Secretary of the League prepare and supply to the 
Secretary of each of the membership clubs a complete copy of the 
minutes of this annual meeting, and we suggest and urge that the 
fullest publicity, to the extent if possible of the printing in full of 
these proceedings, be given by the several secretaries through the 
columns of their local papers. 
“We recommend that The Oregon Sportsman be selected and 
designated as the official organ of this League, and suggest to the 
Secretary of the League that he supply that publication with all infor- 
mation concerning the doings of the League throughout the year, as 
shall, in his judgment, be advisable and proper. 
“And, finally, we urge the individual members of the organizations 
composing this League to keep in mind the usefulness of properly 
directed publicity, as set out in the opening clause of this report, and 
to supply the local press with interesting items as frequently as 
possible.”
