44 THE OREGON SPIO RE SaeAN 
ROD AND GUN CLUB NOTES 
(Editor’s Note—The secretary of every Rod and Gun Club and 
Game Protective Association in Oregon is asked to contribute a short 
article to this department. All the publicity possible should be given 
the work carried on by the clubs. Make this department a mirror, 
reflecting the activities of your club in protecting the wild animal, 
bird and fish life of the state.) 
Sherwood, Oregon, January §&, 1916. 
Mr. Carl D. Shoemaker, 
State Game Warden, 
Portland, Oregon. 
Dear Sir: ; 
I thought perhaps you would be interested to know what the 
Sherwood Rod and Gun Club is doing. The club has 140 members now, 
and during the past week has fed the game and song birds for miles 
around Sherwood. Besides this work, done by the members in town, 
the officers have phoned members and friends living in the country, 
urging them to do the same. 
I am sending a photo that will give you better idea of how the 
committee is working. Yours truly, 
H. Ll. GRAY, 
Deputy Game Warden. 
CORVALLIS ROD AND GUN CLUB 
Corvallis, Oregon, December 7, 1915. 
The Oregon Sportsman, 
Portland, Oregon. 
By request of your very efficient deputy, Mr. C. C. Bryan, I am 
sending you a few items about our Rod and Gun Club. We now have 
55 members in good standing. Although we are only a little over two 
years old, we have done considerable toward the protection and prop- 
agation of game and fish. 
This year we have planted two cars of trout fry, and with what 
we have planted in the past, makes Benton County one of the best 
counties in the state for the fishermen. During the open season the 
dozens of sportsmen come in with a good creel, speaking well for the 
Fish and Game Commission, for if it was not for the efforts the state 
makes to keep our streams well stocked, our nearby streams would be 
depleted. From all reports the fry has made a splendid growth, and 
there seems to have been very little violation of the fishing law the 
past season. Yours very truly, 
CORVALLIS ROD AND GUN CLUB.
