MANY TRAPPERS’ LICENSES ISSUED IN OREGON. 
That Oregon is one of the chief fur-bearing states of the Union 
is shown by the statement that there has been 976 trappers’ licenses 
issued by the State Game Warden up to the 20th day of January, and 
the trapping season is just at its heighth. Fur-bearing animals, for 
which a license is required to trap, are the otter, mink, fisher, 
marten and muskrat. There are many other fur-bearing animals native 
to Oregon for which no license is required to take. 
OLDEST OREGON TRAPPER. 
Thomas Bashaw, of Richland, Baker County, is the oldest person 
in Oregon to obtain a license to trap the fur-bearing animals of the 
state. Mr. Bashaw is 83 years old. 

BEAR PLENTIFUL IN SOUTHERN DOUGLAS. 
Deputy Game Warden J. H. Sykes, of Douglas County, reports 
bear as being quite plentiful in southern Douglas County. 
TRAPPER CATCHES WHITE COYOTE. 
Charles Deckert, a trapper who resides near The Dalles, killed 
a white coyote recently which he obtained the bounty on from the 
county clerk of Wasco County. Mr. Deckert will have a rug made 
of the handsome fur. 
PURE WHITE DEER KILLED IN OREGON. 
Everett Wells, who resides on the Trask River in Tillamook 
County, killed a pure white deer while hunting in that county last 
fall. The deer was a three-point buck and a very pretty animal. 
Two white deer were killed in Oregon during the past hunting 
season, one in Tillamook County and the other in Southern Oregon.
