140 THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 
become aroused to the extent that they will do what the people of Lane 
County propose to do, then there will be less violations of the game 
laws and more game and fish.

The Haines Rod and Gun Club, the membership of which is com- 
posed of 140 wide awake sportsmen, met recently and adopted plans 
to feed the fish in the different lakes of Baker County during the 
coming year. It is the belief of the members of this club that there is 
more to be gained in the way of conserving the fish by feeding than 
by planting a new supply each year, and that it will be demonstrated 
that it is cheaper in the end. A study of fish conditions, it is asserted, 
has proven that the fish in the lakes become more and more cannibalistie 
as the natural feed diminishes, and as a result a great many fish are 
destroyed in this manner, whereby if natural food is provided the fish 
will not destroy themselves,

One of the most successful women hunters of the State of Oregon 
is Mrs. Gus Peret of Yoncalla, who killed the limit of three deer, and 
in addition bagged a big bobcat on her recent hunt near Loon Lake, 
Oregon. The party consisted of Gard Sawyer, the guide; Dolph Samler 
and Mr. Peret, in addition to the fair Diana. Seven bucks were brought 
down by the entire party, and Mrs. Peret bagged nearly half of them. 
Two of the bucks, a three-pointer and a fork horn, were killed at a 
distance of 150 yards with a high-power rifle, Mrs. Peret firing four 
shots, three of which were hits. The other three-point buck was killed 
at a distance of 175 yards, using five shots, three taking effect. After 
a chase of three miles a hound finally treed the cat, and Mrs, Peret 
shot it.

A sportsman, writing to the American Field from Abbeville, Loui- 
siana, says: ‘‘One of the most remarkable flights of wildfowl within 
the memory of the oldest inhabitant was noted here on the night of 
February 19. About sundown a few advance scouts of wild geese 
appeared flying high and emitting an occasional ‘‘honk, honk.’’ The 
grand passage began about 8 o’clock and from that time until broad 
daylight they came by thousands, filling the air with their cries. Hun- 
dreds of them, attracted possibly by the glare of the electric street 
lights, paused in their flight to alight in the ponds and slashes about 
here. 
‘‘They flew very low and not in the usual V-shaped formation; 
the air was simply filled with a confused mass of noisy geese; those 
which first appeared were flying south; later they seemingly pursued 
no direct course, but came from all quarters; finally they headed north 
and from midnight until daylight there were millions of them migrat- 
ing. If these fowl come from their usual feeding grounds on the Gulf 
Coast near here, it is thought singular they should have so soon made a 
stop.. It is reported that the few which were killed were found with 
empty craws, indicating a long flight.’’
