140 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 
I believe it is the duty of every game warden to solicit subscrip- 
tions for the Oregon Sportsman, as it will help to harmonize and get 
the people together. Since our last issue I have heard several sub- 
scribers remark there is lots of good knowledge to be had from the 
little Sportsman. 
Trusting this will find a space in the Oregon Sportsman, I remain, 
Yours truly, J. W. WALDEN, 
Deputy Game Warden.

NOTES FROM BENTON COUNTY 
Benton County has come to the front with the second game pro- 
tective club. This club was organized recently with a membership of 
forty-six, known as Alsea Game Protection Club. Officers elected 
were: Roy Warfield, president; George Vernon, secretary. This organ- 
ization is strictly a game protective organization. Its purpose is to 
co-operate with the Fish and Game Department. The people through- 
out the county should commend this club. for the stand they have 
taken, as it is their main hunting ground during open season for deer. 
I consider their constitution and by-laws one of the best in the state.
