RECREATION. 



A NEW CHAPTER. 



Another evidence of the value of energy 

 comes from far-off Kingfisher, Oklahoma. 

 Some weeks ago Mr. F. D. Dakin, a live 

 sportsman of that town, made up his mind 

 to organize a chapter of the League there. 

 He went out, rounded up the boys, sent in 

 2,2 applications for membership, with check 

 to cover, and the chapter was promptly 

 organized. Now the country is being 

 patrolled day and night by the members 

 of the chapter and the first man who kills 

 a bird or catches a fish out of season in 

 that vicinity will find himself in trouble. 

 The members of the Kingfisher chapter 

 are in dead earnest in this matter, and it 

 is safe to say there will be no more illegal 

 shooting or fishing or shipping of game in 

 that country from this day. 

 , Here is a list of the members of the 

 Kingfisher chapter : 



F. D. Dakin, G. A. Nelson, R. J. Kester, 

 J. S. Patrick, P. Houck, R. D. Hunt, G. 

 Longandyke, G. H. Hart, A. C. Ambrose 

 (rear warden), C. E. McKinley, E. G. 

 Spillman, J. C. Cross, G. W. Mitchell, H. 

 C. Rising, David Jackson, S. D. Calhoun, 

 H. C. Wilson, H. Humphreys, H. E. 

 Moore V. A. Brennan, C. P. Wickmiller, 

 A. J. Harris, R. O. Copeland, J. Q. Hart, 

 Geo. James, J. A. Banker, J. L. Admire, 

 Jos. Kauffman, Hy. Simpson, Wilbur Shid- 

 aker. J. V. Admire, H. W. Thies. If there 

 are any other sportsmen anywhere who 

 wish to save their game and game fishes 

 from destruction, let them follow the ex- 

 ample of the Kingfisher crowd. 



BAGGED GAME LAW VIOLATORS. 



A short time ago Game Warden Quimby re- 

 ceived information that parties from Oregon City 

 were hunting deer with hounds on the head- 

 waters of the Clackamas. A week ago he sent 

 Special Deputy Warden J. J. Kelly to look into 

 the matter. Mr. Kelly made a .75-mile trip on 

 horseback to near the upper hatchery, where he 

 found the hunters' camp, and waited there till they 

 came from the day's hunting, with 3 dead deer 

 and a pack of hounds. There was also one deer 

 in camp when he got there. He confiscated the 

 carcasses, arrested John Howland and Seth Aus- 

 tin, and arrived at Oregon City with thern Fri- 

 day. They were arraigned in the Justice Court, 

 pleaded guilty, and were fined $25 each. The 

 poor deer are naturally lean at this time of year, 

 but men out trapping kill them, dry part of the 

 flesh, and use some to bait their traps. Austin is 

 an old offender in this line. The arrest of these 

 men will serve as a warning to all of that kind 

 to stop their violations of the game law, as there 

 is always some timber cruiser or party of sur- 

 veyors in the mountains who will inform on them.

 More power to his elbow. 



certain violators of the game laws. A firm at 

 Pilot Mound, charged with the illegal marketing of 

 game birds, were arrested and tried before a jus- 

 tice of the peace. They were found guilty and 

 fined $151.50, including costs. They paid the bill, 

 and it is presumed they will henceforth have 

 greater respect for the majesty of the law. 



From Pilot Mound Mr. Lincoln went to Som- 

 ers, in Calhoun county, where a dealer was fined 

 $76.50 for shipping game birds out of the State. 

 He, also, liquidated. — Iowa paper. 



Mr. Lincoln is a member of the League 

 and this is the kind of stuff that all good 

 League members are made of. — Editor. 



Ducks are plentiful in many localities 

 near Seattle. They swim around the over- 

 flowed fields, gazing at our L. A. S. reward 

 posters. 1 hey seem to know they are pro- 

 tected. The close season on ducks begins 

 March 1st. Not a shot is fired at them. 

 And. The League Did It. 



Frank A. Pontius, Seattle, Wash. 



The Hon. Wm. Sulzer, Member of Con- 

 gress from New York City, has joined the 

 League. We are steadily gaining ground in 

 the councils ?f the nation, and I trust the 

 day may not oe far distant when a major- 

 ity of the members of both Houses of 

 Congress will belong to the League. 



LEAGUE NOTES. 



Boone, Iowa. — George A. Lincoln, of Cedar 

 Rapids, State Game Warden, has been sojourning 

 in this section of the State, much to the sorrow of 



Mr. E. F. Smith, a League member, of 

 Hinton, W. Va., acting under the Lacey 

 law, seized 14 lots of game in December 

 last that had been delivered to the express 

 company for shipment out of the State in 

 violation of law. The offenders are being 

 prosecuted. 



LONGING LOO. 



ZEB YAHOO. 



A man there was in Kalamazoo 

 Who longed for a land where there's noth- 

 ing to do ; 

 Where the sun shines every day in the year 

 Where music's the only thing you hear; 



Where giants and monsters and googoos 



dwell, 

 Where fairies flit and Zulus yell; 

 A bungaloo of real bamboo 

 In the jungles wild of Timbuctoo. 



He wanted to play with a real hoodoo, 

 To ride a mile on a wild gozoo 

 With a yellow girl he would call "Loo-loo," 

 Who'd sing to him of the great Ya-boo. 



So they took him to ride on a wild choo- 



choo 

 With a pack of wolves from the New York 



Zoo ; 

 But they didn't take along Loo-loo, 

 And the man he wept, "Boo-hoo, boo-hoo!"
