THE OREGON SPORTSMAN 161 



stantly makes many helpful suggestions for the better- 

 ment of fish and game conditions. In his travels over 

 the state Governor Withycombe has an excellent oppor- 

 tunity of meeting sportsmen and learning from them 

 the situation in their territory. He is taking an active 

 personal interest in the work of the Commission which 

 is proving of henefit to the sportsmen. 



Hon. I. N. P^leishner, of Portland, is one of the best 

 known sportsmen in Oregon. From sunrise on the first 

 day till sunset on the last day of the open season he is 

 very active with his rod and line, his frys and his spinners ; 

 and during the closed season he likes to tell his friends 

 what happened during the open season. He is a thor- 

 ough business man who has been remarkably successful. 

 He has an intimate personal knowledge of many of the 

 angling streams and lakes of the state, and is familiar 

 with many of the best hunting districts. He has a seri- 

 ous interest in the work of the commission and takes 

 pleasure in it. 



Hon. Marion Jack, of Pendleton, is one of Oregon's 

 successful ranchers. One of the serious problems of the 

 commission is the screening of our irrigation ditches. His 

 knowledge of this problem, gained at first hand through 

 a long study of the irrigation question, has proved of 

 great value to the commission. He knows the needs of 

 that vast territory of our state popularly known as East- 

 ern Oregon. He brings that part of the state into a 

 close relationship with the work of the commission. He 

 represents the agricultural interests of the state, whose 

 co-operation in game protection is vital and essential. 

 Mr. Jack is a sportsman himself, and appreciates what 

 it means to have plenty of fish in the streams, birds in 

 the air and wild game in the forests.
