That a great many salmon have already passed over the fish 
ladder at Oregon City this season is evident from the fact that large 
numbers are to be seen on the spawning grounds in the upper tribu- 
taries of the Willamette River. Other evidence that salmon are plen- 
tiful above the falls at Oregon City is shown in the statement from 
Albany, where a large salmon was recently scooped up in a dredge 
bucket and landed high and dry. Still another instance is related at 
Junction City, where Palmer Ayers and Lloyd Morrison, two boys 
aged twelve years respectively, captured a 30-pound salmon with 
baling wire. The lads were in swimming in the Willamette when they 
spied the big fish, probably spawning on a gravel bar. Securing a 
piece of baling wire, the boys made a noose and slipped it over the 
salmon, which was caught by the gills and safely landed.

Deputy Game Warden J. M. Thomas, of North Bend, reports that 
there will be plenty of game in Coos County this year. He recently 
returned from a trip through his district, and says that he never 
before saw so many does and fawns. While he did not see many 
bucks, there are indications that when the hunting season opens there 
will be three for every nimrod who is able to shoot straight enough 
to get them. 
Stanley G. Jewett, of Portland, formerly connected with the bio- 
logical department of the State Fish and Game Commission, has 
recently received the appointment of predatory animal inspector for 
Oregon. Another former employe of the State Game Warden’s office, 
EK. F. Averill, of Pendleton, has been recently reappointed to the posi- 
tion of predatory animal inspector, a position he has filled with credit 
for over a year past.

“Complete satisfaction with the Deschutes country as a sports- 
man’s paradise is felt by F. W. Hanslik, of Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, 
who has been visiting his brother-in-law, J. H. Stanley, for the past 
few weeks,’ says the Bend Bulletin. “In three days last week Mr. 
Hanslik caught all the fish he wanted, of which the smallest weighed 
six pounds, and Sunday morning he wound up by killing a big brown 
bear.”
