THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 



was the adoption of an official organ. Former Secretary C. A. 

 Riddle was given full authority to issue a publication in the inter- 

 est of the league and to mail a copy to each member of every rod 

 and gun club in the state. 



The action which brought particular joy to the sportsmen of 

 Portland was the unanimous adoption without discussion of the 

 proposed closing of the Willamette river to net fishing. 



At 7> o'clock the meeting adjourned to the banquet room of 

 the Commercial Club where an elaborate "duck dinner" was 

 served in honor of the visiting delegates by the Portland Gun 

 Club and the Multnomah Anglers' Club. 



The same good fellowship that prevailed throughout the 

 regular business session was in evidence throughout the dinner 

 which was enjoyed by more than 300 persons. More than 175 

 ducks were eaten by the hungry sportsmen. 



At the conclusion of the dinner a fine series of motion pic- 

 tures was presented by Mr. W. L. Finley and formed a most 

 enjoyable part of the evening. 



The Portland Ad Club quartet, Dr. R. M. Emerson, N. A. 

 Hoose, M. H. Bowman, and H. G. Whip, gave several selections. 

 President Van Duzer gave a brief address in which credit for 

 the ducks eaten was given to H. W. Metzger, W. E. Carlon, W. B. 

 Fecheimer, D. L. Williams, James Honeyman, George Leithoff, 

 M. Abrahams, Dr. C. P. Brown, Dr. T. C. Munson, J. E. Cullison, 

 Archie Parrott and Thomas Harrill. 



A trap shooting and fly casting tournament was held the day 

 preceding the convention, at the grounds of the Portland Gun 

 Club at Jenne station. The first event was under the supervision 

 of the Portland Gun Club while the latter was under the direction 

 of the Multnomah Angler's Club. Nearly 200 sportsmen partici- 

 pated in the various events. 



In the shooting contests, Peter O'Brien was high man of 

 the day with a percentage of 95. He won two prizes in Class A 

 events. E. Young had two wins in the Class B division while 

 G. I. La Dow of Pendleton was first in the Class C event. Miss 

 Gladys Reid was the winner of the event for women.

 records. In the half ounce bait casting he made a single cast of
