 tributions for this department must be received before December 15. Won't you urge 

 your officers to send us a short article of your Club's activities?] 



ALL SPORTSMEN ARE MEMBERS. 



Dufur, Ore., Sept. 11, 1915. 

 Mr. C. D. Shoemaker, 

 State Game Warden, 

 Portland, Oregon. 



Dear Sir: 



Replying to your letter of 9th inst., regarding the sending in of 

 reports from the different Rod and Gun Clubs as to work being done 

 and progress made, received. As to what the Dufur Rod and Gun Club 

 has accomplished will say that nothing startling has happened. Prac- 

 tically all the sportsmen of the community are members of the organ- 

 ization and all take an interest in it and in the enforcement of the 

 game and fish laws. During the past two or three years many pairs 

 of Chinese pheasants have been liberated in this vicinity and all are 

 apparently doing well and multiplying fast, and in a few years more 

 the country here will be well stocked with them. There are two special 

 game wardens here who look after the enforcement of the game and 

 fish laws. Yours very truly, 



DUFUR ROD AND GUN CLUB, 



T. C. Queen, Secretary. 



SEASIDE CLUB HAS 115 MEMBERS. 



The Seaside Anglers' Club, one of the most enthusiastic and pro- 

 gressive organizations of the kind in the state, has made wonderful 

 strides during the past year in bettering the conditions for anglers and 

 in the protection of game fish. 



This club, which numbers 115 active members, has planted five 

 cars of the various kinds of trout in the Necanicum River and tribu- 

 taries during the past four years and has been instrumental in assisting 

 the Astoria Anglers' Club in securing a large consignment of bass that 

 were planted in the several lakes on Clatsop Plains a short distance 

 from Seaside. 



Among the results obtained by this organization, aside from re- 

 stocking the streams, has been the maintenance of a friendly feeling 

 between the sportsmen and the ranchers along the several streams in 

 this vicinity who have assisted the anglers materially in planting the 

 fish in the streams. 



During the existence of the club $300 was raised by public subscrip- 

 tion for the cleaning out of the snags from the Necanicum River in 

 order that fly-casting and trolling might be made a pleasure to the 

 sportsman while fishing for salmon and salmon trout. 



The planting of two cars of Eastern and Cut-throat trout was made 

 during the past month and the Fish and Game Commission members 

 were greatly pleased with the manner in which these fish were handled 

 during the night by the members of the club.
