THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 207 
Nehalem River may be reached 
from here by train. Hunting 
in this district is good. 
I am sending you some pic- 
tures which I wish you. would 
print if you can’ give them 
space as they are out of the 
ordinary. I think they would 
be of interest to your readers. 
No. 1 is a picture of some swan 
taken at the place of Mr. S. M. 
Batterson, the bird man, by 
whose courtesy we are indebted 
for a number of striking pic- 
tures of bird life taken by Mr. 
E, S. Cattron, Inspector of the 
United States Bureau of Bio- 
logical Survey, and myself. Mr, 
Batterson’s place is well worth 
seeing and would be worth any- 
one’s time to make the trip there. 
He rears all kinds of wild birds, 
hatching the eggs by bantam 
hens, If Eugene Stratton Porter 
only knew him there would be 

another nature story with an Oregon setting. 
No. 2 is a picture of a fawn that was taken from its dead 
mother; she was run in from the hills by dogs and broke her leg 
while traveling over the rocks below Neskowin and was shot by 
gave him permission to keep the 

Arthur Tatro. He opened her 
and took from her two fawns, 
one being dead. He raised the 
other one on a bottle until now 
it is doing well. It is about a 
month old in the picture with 
young Tatro, and is quite a pet, 
being able to follow him about. 
It now feeds from a cow as a 
-alf and the cow seems to wel- 
come it as though it was one of 
her own. 
No. 3 is a picture of a 
fawn that was born in a box 
stall on the place of Deputy 
Sheriff Frank Reed. Its mother 
was run in by dogs and swam 
the Nehalem River, but became 
stuck in the mud on the oppo- 
site side. .Wm. Pickett, Ed. 
Pickett and J. Jones caught it 
and after a very exciting time 
they were able to turn it over 
to Deputy Sheriff Reed. The 
case was reported to me and I 
deer until the birth of the fawn. 
After the fawn is weaned, he will turn the mother into the hills
