138 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 
SHERWOOD ROD AND GUN CLUB NOTES 
Sherwood, Oregon, March 28, 1916. 
Editor Sportsman: In summing up the game and songbird losses 
during the snow in this vicinity, will say that they were comparatively 
small, owing to the efficient work of our Rod and Gun Club and the 
generous donations of feed by the business men and farmers. I think 
the small song birds suffered the most, as they were unable to with- 
stand the cold as well as larger birds. This part of the country is an 
ideal location for game and fish, as the uplands, valleys and wooded 
sections afford a perfect home for the pheasant, quail and grouse; also 
the several mountain streams flowing through shady woods and culti- 
vated fields into the Willamette and Tualatin rivers make a home for 
the gamey trout that could not be improved upon. 
Our Rod and Gun Club members are a bunch of live sportsmen, 
and their slogan is “to protect and propagate our fish and game.” As 
our streams have never been stocked, we are looking forward to 
the time when we can distribute fish in them, which we are in hopes 
will be in the near future. 
Congratulations on the Oregon Sportsman, which ably covers the 
field intended and should have the support of all lovers of manly 
sport. Respectfully, J. H. MORBACK 
President Sherwood and Gun Club, Sherwood.
