THE ORBGON SPORTSMAN 37 
The Dalles Rod and Gun Club has been reorganized and has added 
a rifle range and indoor shooting gallery. Under the new order of 
things, the names of many new members are being added to the mem- 
bership roll. It is the intention to make the new organization one of 
the leading sportsmen organizations in Eastern Oregon.

There is only one state in the Union that does not now require a 
non-resident to have a license to hunt. That state is Arkansas. There 
are only four states in the Union now that do not require a resident 
to purchase a hunters’ license. Those states are Maine, Virginia, North 
Carolina and Mississippi. Every province in Canada requires both resi- 
dent and non-resident to have hunters’ license.

There are 4666 trapshooting clubs in the world, 4331 of them being

a decade ago. Of this number Oregon has 55 clubs,

At the annual meeting of the Salmon Club of Oregon, a Portland 
organization, O. H. Reede automatically became president of the club 
by virtue of his having caught the largest salmon during the 1916 fish- 
ing season—a 42%4-pound Royal Chinook. The fish was caught in the 
Willamette at Oregon City. The executive board for 1917 consists of the 
following: Dick Carlon, C. ©. Spooner, Phil. Holmes, Lester Humphrey 
and W. C. Block. The club has adopted a resolution that no person be 
eligible to membership who sells his or her fish, and any member found 
guilty of violating this rule shall be expelled from the club. The club 
has grown from a membership in 1914 of 41 to a present membership 
of 145.

Several new rod and gun clubs have been organized in different 
parts of the state within the last few months. Among the number is 
one at Grass Valley, with officers as follows: President, L. W. Baker; 
vice-president, M. B. O’Brien; secretary and treasurer, C. W. Wallace; 
executive committee, H. A. Smith and H. Zeigler. Deputy Game War- 
den Jas. Stewart, of Moro, was present and gave the newly organized 
club some valuable suggestions along the lines of game protection and 
conservation.

Mr. Stanley Jewett, of Pendleton, Oregon, who is employed by the 
Biological Survey, reports that on September 3 he saw a flock of Hun- 
garian partridges near Pendleton, which were very small, not more than 
a week or two old. Both old birds were with the flock of young. He 
also reports Bob-White very abundant about that locality. 
Many reports have come in to the effect that very late broods of 
birds have been seen in the Willamette Valley, showing that quail and 
pheasants evidently nested into August, for very young birds were seen 
during the latter part of August and the first part of September. This 
is likely owing to the very heavy rains during the summer time which 
destroyed the first brood. The last broods were therefore not nearly 
large enough to be shot at the beginning of the open season,
