THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 



Oregon Sportsmen's League 



Second Annual Convention, Election of Officers, Results of Trap 



Shooting and Fly Casting Tournament, 



Followed by Banquet. 



The second annual convention of the Oregon Sportsmen's 

 League was held in the Commercial Club rooms in Portland, 

 December 7. Delegates were in attendance from all points in 

 Oregon. Forty-four clubs with an aggregate membership of 

 more than 3500 were represented. Eight other clubs asked to be 

 admitted to membership in the league. 



Good fellowship with a generous spirit of "give and take" 

 prevailed throughout the day. Though the discussions indulged 

 in were lively at times* the final vote on all questions, including 

 the election of officers and the selection of Portland as the next 

 place of meeting was always unanimous. 



H. B. Van Duzer, of Portland, was re-elected president ; W. N. 

 Matlock, of Pendleton, and Dr. J. G. Gill, of Lebanon, were 

 named as first and second vice-presidents, while S. C. Bartrum, 

 of Roseburg, was selected as secretary-treasurer. The following 

 are the members of the executive committee : District 1, L. W. 

 Humphreys, Portland ; district 2, W. W. Goff , Forest Grove ; 

 district 3, A. Crandall, Brownsville ; district 4, George Putnam, 

 Medford; district 5, Leo A. E. Schanno, The Dalles; district 6, 

 G. I. La Dow, Pendleton ; district 7, Charles Riley, Klamath Falls. 



The chief discussion centered on the deer and Chinese pheas- 

 ant laws. More than an hour was spent in discussing the pro- 

 visions of one measure which will be presented to the next legis- 

 lature. It was finally decided that the new measure should leave 

 the bag limit for Chinese pheasants the same as at present, five 

 birds in one day or ten in seven consecutive days, but instead of 

 limiting the shooting to males only, females to the number of 

 two will be allowed in each limit of five. It was also decided 

 to request the legislature to cut one month off the opening of 

 the deer season, making it open September 1 instead of August 1, 

 the closing time, October 31, to be left the same as at present.
