LANE COUNTY. 



It has been suggested that Blue 

 Eiver, Quartz Creek and Deer Creek 

 should be closed to fishing for a 

 year or so in order to give the small 

 fish in these streams a chance to 

 grow. These streams are natural- 

 spawning places for a large number 

 of McKenzie rainbows. 



den of Eugene, who has just re- 

 turned from a trip through the upper 

 McKenzie valley, reports that a big

 barnyard at H. A. Cook's place 

 above Vida; also that Carey Thomp- 

 son saw a deer eating salt with the 

 cattle in his barnyard.
