NOTES FROM COUNTIES 



CLACKAMAS COUNTY. 



Will Tompkins made a three-day 

 trip to the upper Clackamas River 

 and returned with about fifty fine 

 large trout. From indications, fly 

 fishing will begin a month earlier 

 than usual in the higher mountain 

 streams. 



GRANT COUNTY. 



M. L. Hasbrook, of Prairie City, 

 says there are more miles of trout 

 water in Grant County than in any 

 other county in the state. Accord- 

 ing to his figures there are 7,000 

 miles of water well adapted for 

 trout fishing within the borders of 

 his county. 



HARNEY COUNTY. 



Mr. Foley reports having seen a 

 covey of twenty-five Chinese pheas- 

 ants on his farm two and one-half 

 miles northeast of Burns. This is 

 welcome news, as it was feared by 

 many that these birds had not 

 wintered well. It is now most cer- 

 tain that the introduction of these 

 game birds into Harney Valley is a 



success. 



*. * * 



During the past winter one ante- 

 lope was seen on the townsite of 

 Wellington and three near the Wav- 

 erly postoffice. It has not been 

 many years since these graceful 

 little animals were quite plentiful 

 in Harney Valley and a few small 

 bands are still to be found among 

 the cattle in some of , the larger 

 fields. 



JACKSON COUNTY. 



E. A. Hildreth, of Butte Falls, 

 reports catching an Eastern Brook 

 trout nine inches in length in the 



Big Butte. 



* # * 



A. S. Hubbard, of Ashland, re- 

 ports that splendid catches of fish 

 have been made in his locality in 

 the past month, especially in streams 

 that were stocked last year.

A. S. Hubbard, of Ashland, re- 

 ports that in his locality silver gray 

 squirrels often girdle young pine 

 trees, especially in sugar pine thick- 

 ets, when there is a heavy fall of 

 snow. This is done, as a rule, near 

 the tops of trees from fifteen to 

 thirty feet high. This report dif- 

 fers from that of John F. Adams, 

 of Curry County, which was pub- 

 lished in the April issue of The 

 Oregon Sportsman. 



KLAMATH COUNTY. 



J. J. Furber, of Klamath Falls, 

 reports that Canada geese began 

 hatching this year about the middle 

 of April. He reports seeing several 



broods on the 16th, 17th and 18th. 



* * # 



Fishing continues to be the fa- 

 vored sport about Klamath Falls, 

 with Spencer Creek the choice. 

 Harry Peltz, O. W. Mathews, O. 

 Peyton and Lee Bean returned from 

 there the second week in April with 



the limit of fifty pounds each.
