NOTES FROM HOOD RIVER AND WASCO 
COUNTIES 
By Warpen W. O. HaDLey. 
Two of the finest bears that I know of being killed in my district 
for many years, were killed last fall, each weighing about 375 pounds. 
December 26 Howard Wilkinson and Henry Goosen discovered a bear 
cave on the mountain side fifteen miles south of The Dalles, and they 
smoked the animal out and killed him. They brought this bear to The 
Dalles, and he attracted considerable attention. 
The other bear was killed last fall by Robert Lasure and J. M. Lenz 
of Mount Hood, on lake branch of Hood River. This was a very fine 
‘animal and furnished numerous steaks to the several families of 
Messrs. Lenz and Lasure. 
The largest Golden Eagle that I have seen in Oregon was cap- 
tured in a coyote trap baited with a rabbit, near Blalock, by G. W. 
Andrews, November 6, 1915. This bird measured 7 feet 6 inches from 
tip to tip, and was mounted by Fred E. Evans, Mosier, Oregon. 
At the annual election of officers of The Dalles Rod and Gun 
Club J. H. Weiss, manager of the Model laundry, was elected to suc- 
ceed Wm. Birgfeld, who has served for several years; W. A. Moore was 
elected secretary and §S. J. Norton treasurer. The board of directors 
are J. H. Weiss, S. J. Norton, W. A. Moore, William Birgfeld, W. A. 
Hunter, H. D. Cates, Paul Lemke. 
Plans are being made for affiliating the club with the National 
Rifle Association of America. By becoming a branch of this organiza- 
tion the local club would be furnished free one big high power rifle 
for every five members and 120 rounds of ammunition to each member 
of the orgization each year. The membership fees of the organization 
is $1, with no dues to Keep up. The local club now has a membership 
of 75 and it is expected before the season is over to increase this to 
300. The club is talking of using smaller caliber rifles, probably 22s for 
indoor target practice, in connection with the big rifles for outdoor 
work. The range on the beach will be used and arrangements are 
being made for a shoot in a few weeks. 
Arrangements are also being made to incorporate, which will put 
the club on a better business basis. 
The display of trout from the State Hatchery at Bonneville, in the 
window aquarium of Johnston & Wilerton, on Second street, The 
Dalles, is attracting more attention than any display ever made before.
