EAGLE CREEK 



This is one of many by that name in Oregon — a tributary of the 

 Clackamas, which may give one a good day's fishing, taking the 

 electric line to Eagle Creek village and then by a walk of three 

 miles or more scrambling and sliding down a cliff into its canyon. 

 This little goat trail is the only one entering the steep canyon for 

 miles. It can be found by any woodsman readily enough — the 

 first place that looks possible. One should be prepared to wade 

 and had better avoid this particular place until as late as July. 



Some of our wide-roving anglers go up Eagle Creek by 

 wagon from the village of the same name a dozen miles to the 

 falls — romantic cataract in the foothills of the Cascades — and 

 bring back, something more than big stories. Shelly Morgan, 

 Ray Davis and Mark Gill are habitues of this particular water, 

 and can give inquirers the facts. 



Twenty miles south of Oregon City is the Molalla, a delightful 

 river in a lovely country. Its principal branches are Milk Creek 

 and North Fork. Molalla " Corners" is a good base for the 

 angler, and there is good fishing within walking distance or 

 available by wagon. Very recently an electric railroad has been 

 completed to Molalla and will open up the streams of this region 

 to town anglers. South and east of Molalla, ten miles or more, 

 the three great forks of Molalla unite. Above these forks the 

 auto does not get far, and the beautiful mountain branches form 

 here and will yield good fishing for many years by reason of 

 their difficulty of access. 



Meadowbrook, a branch of Milk Creek, has been liberally 

 stocked with eastern brook trout, which have done better than 

 in any waters we know of in this state. 



CHINESE PHEASANTS IN WALLOWA COUNTY. 



During the fall of 1912, one hundred and fifty-six Chinese pheasants 

 which were reared at the State Game Farm were released on the different 

 game refuges in Wallowa county. During the fall of 1913 one hundred and 

 ninety-six more pheasants were liberated in this county. As the result of 

 two seasons' work, Deputy Game Warden W. E. Leffel makes the following 

 report.
