NEWLY ORGANIZED WALLOWA COUNTY 
ROD AND GUN CLUB 
By WARDEN GEO. W. MITCHELL, Enterprise, Oregon 
The Wallowa County Rod and Gun Club is the name of a new 
sportsmen organization with headquarters at Enterprise. The object of 
the organization, as set forth in the constitution, is to protect the fish 
and game and to promote the planting of more fish in the streams of 
Wallowa County. The officers elected are Dr, C. T. Hockett, president; 
A. R. Thompson, vice-president; and A. W. Hawkins, secretary and 
treasurer. A large number of applicants for membership have been 
received. 
Deer and elk in this section of the State are reported doing fine, 
getting plenty of feed on the lowlands where they have been driven 
by the deep snows, 
John Edgeman, of the Chesnimines country, killed a large cougar 
recently near his home. 
BAKER COUNTY GAME NOTES 
By WARDEN I. B. HAZELTINE, Baker, Oregon 
Reports from this county tend to show that the quail are suffering 
heavy losses again this winter despite the fact that grain has been 
put out for them. 
A. V. Lansing, president of the Rod and Gun Club, of Halfway, 
has recently been elected on the city council there. Some of Lansing’s 
friends are afraid that there will be a vacancy on the board about the 
first of April, or after the angling season opens up. 
Jas. H. Nichols, prominent sportsman of Baker, is reported to have 
oiled up his reel a few days since. Jim’s friends say that this is a 
sure sign of spring. 
GAME NOTES FROM GRANT COUNTY 
By WARDEN I. B. HAZELTINE, Canyon City, Oregon 
The Chinese pheasants in this county are reported to be doing 
nicely, notwithstanding the fact that the quail are dying from starva- 
tion and cold. 
Grant County has seven thousand miles of trout streams. If this 
was generally known the Grant County boys would undoubtedly get 
more support for the state highway routed through this county, mean- 
ing outside contributions of course. 
H. L. Huhl, of Canyon City, brought a blue grouse down to his 
store this morning. Said a hawk drove it onto the porch of his dwell- 
ing. Some of the boys are accusing Henry of having a trained hawk.
