EDITORIAL COMMENT. 



THE SPORTSMAN IN NEW FORM. 



With this issue the Oregon Sportsman changes 

 from a monthly to a quarterly publication. The change 

 was decided upon after mature consideration on the part 

 of the Fish and Game Commissioners. It is believed 

 that the Sportsman in a quarterly form will serve the 

 interests of its subscribers and readers better than would 

 a monthly publication. This is more apparent when we 

 take into consideration that the quarterly will contain 

 about five or six times as much reading matter as one 

 issue of the monthly. 



We want the Sportsman to have a personal appeal 

 to its readers. To assist in bringing this about we have 

 inaugurated with this issue brief items of interest from 

 the men in the field. No man is better able to ascertain 

 conditions in his territory than is the Deputy Game
