THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 211 
WHERE TO SPEND A DAY IN LANE COUNTY 
By WARDEN E. C. HILLs, Eugene, Oregon. 
HERE are many wonderful fishing streams and hunting districts 
in Lane County. Space will not permit me to describe all of 
them, but for the benefit of the sportsman, tourist and stranger 
in our midst, I shall endeavor to mention a few of the most attractive. 
From Eugene the most important trout streams may be reached by 
train or auto stage. 
The first, and perhaps the best known to Oregon sportsmen, as 
well as sportsmen from other states, is the McKenzie River. From 
the mouth of this river to its source is one continual round of pleasure 
to the angler, as this stream abounds in rainbow, cut-throat and Dolly 
Varden trout, and Eastern brook trout are found in the lakes at the 
headwaters. Some of the most beautiful camping sites are along this 
river, or good hotel accommodations may be had from Walterville to 
Foley Springs, if one chooses to travel that way. 
At the Log Cabin Hotel, sixty miles from Eugene, pack horses and 
guides may be had for hunting trips into the Cascades, where there is 
an abundance of deer, bear, cougar and wildcats. 
' Another very good angling stream is the Willamette River, which 
is accessible by auto or train and may be fished for a distance of 
eighty miles. The best hotel accommodations are at Oak Ridge, sixty 
miles from Eugene. Pack horses can be had at this place for trips 
into the mountains after big game, 
Going west from, Eugene by rail, some very good fishing streams 
may be found, among them being Lake Creek, Siuslaw River and 
North Fork. 
If you wish to enjoy the beauties of nature in her wild state, by 
writing a note to Clyde Forth, Heceta, Oregon, to meet you at Flor- 
ence, he will direct you to a place where the deer may be seen from 
the roadside and the elk roam the hills like cattle. Here, also, the 
fishing is excellent, and bear and cougar plentiful. The round trip 
fare is eight dollars. 
If any further information is desired in regard-to the best fishing 
streams and~hunting grounds in Lane County, by writing to the deputy 
game warden at Eugene he will gladly furnish same, 
FISH AND GAME IN GILLIAM AND 
WHEELER COUNTIES 
By WARDEN JAS. STEWART, Moro, Oregon 
AVING just returned from a trip into these counties in the inter- 
H est of fish and game protection, I thought that your readers 
might like to know just what the fish and game conditions are 
there. I am therefore writing this article. 
Gilliam County extends from the Columbia River into the Blue 
Mountains and affords a considerable variety of both hunting and 
fishing. There is the duck and goose hunting along the Columbia 
River from the John Day River to above the mouth of Willow Creek. 
Arlington is about the center of this and justly claims to afford 
the finest goose hunting in America during the open season, or from 
October 1 to January 15, There is also good deer hunting in the
