Myles Standish Rifle Club. 
Portland, Me., April 20.—Patriot’s Day was cele¬ 
brated by the opening of our out-door range. The at¬ 
tendance was good, some fifty members braving the 
weather conditions. In the morning Old Sol tried to 
smile, but the clouds gathered so fast it was only occa¬ 
sionally he got a peek in at the members behind the 
guns. At noon tire sky was overcast, with the wind in¬ 
creasing every minute, while in the afternoon we were 
treated to about everything on the weather calendar— 
snow squalls, rain, wind and sunshine. This made some 
of the members retreat to the indoor range in town, 
where it was more comfortable. Although we had a 
roaring fire in the club house, it was a very disagreeable 
day for the shooters, and everybody was ashamed to turn 
in scores. 
April 25.—A light attendance at the indoor range 
evenings during the past week has been the rule:

OREGON’S GAME LAW. 
The State of Oregon has a unique game law. 
In fact, no one appeared to know of its ex¬ 
istence until a few days ago, when several 
ranchers were fined heavily for allowing their 
dogs to run deer, says the St. Paul Dispatch. 
The ranchers commenced kicking about the 
heavy fines, and then some _ antiquarian dis¬ 
covered that the last Legislature passed an act 
making it a misdemeanor for a hunter to kill 
a deer that was being chased by dogs, but at 
the same time put in a proviso that prevents 
the ranchers from killing the dogs that chase 
the deer. 
In other words, you cannot kill deer that are 
being chased nor shoot the dogs that are doing 
the chasing. It may seem queer that any one 
would think of killing the hounds, but out in 
the Pacific Northwest there is always a feud be¬ 
tween city sportsmen who invade the country 
with hounds on one side and resident ranchers 
on the other. 
Oregon passed this old law because of the 
ravages of wild animals upon domestic animals. 
It is claimed that hounds protect the deer by 
chasing them. This sounds paradoxical, of 
course, but this is the way it is explained: 
“Hounds will rarely run a deer down and kill 
it themselves, and unless some hunter shoots 
the deer will escape. But, when the hounds are 
loose they will clear the woods of the animals 
that prey upon the deer. In the spring a wild¬ 
cat will kill nine or ten fawns to feed its kittens, 
and the number of wildcats is so great that they 
destroy more deer than hunters do.” 
G. T. Kelly, a rancher, has the following to 
say about the law:. “This law was passed be¬ 
cause the attacks of wild animals entail a loss 
of $1,000,000 to the farms of Willamette Valley 
each year. The hounds run these wild animals 
away, saving the farmer's stock. But under the 
old law, if hounds were set after wild animals, 
they invariably ended by running deer, subject¬ 
ing their owners to (me and rendering the dogs 
liable to be killed. The result was that the dogs 
could not be used and the wild animals had 
things nearly their own way. 
“I was put out of the goat and sheep busi¬ 
ness under the old law because I could not turn 
my dogs loose. The hounds would have kept 
away cougar, lvnx. foxes, wildcats, coyotes and 
v'olves but I did not dare let them go because 
they might run deer. When I quit I had less 
than half as many goats and sheep as when I 
commenced.”—Idaho Scimitar. 
Kennel Diseases 
By “Ashmont” (J. Frank Perry, M.D.), author of “Ken¬ 
nel Secrets.” Illustrated. 8vo. Cloth, $3.00 net. 
Postage, 22 cents. 
Every one who owns a dog should possess this invalu¬ 
able book, which has been long in preparation, and has 
been pronounced by a competent authority far ahead of 
any other work yet attempted upon the subject. The 
minuteness with which every detail is considered leaves 
little or nothing for any future work to attempt. Es¬ 
pecially important chapters are those on eczema, the 
different kinds of mange, poisons, distemper, hydro¬ 
phobia, ear and eye diseases, vaginal diseases, diseases 
of the urinary ani sexual organs, and pneumonia (an 
especially valuable contribution), also the portions of 
the work which are devoted to symptoms and diagnosis. 
The work is entirely devoid of technical terms, and is 
written in such entertaining style, that any one with a 
love of dogs would find it not only valuable and help¬ 
ful, but interesting as well.

Bears I Ha.ve Met—And Others. 
By Allen Kelly. Paper, 209 pages. Price, 60 cents. 
Mr. Kelly’s most excellent book of bear stories, though 
for a time forgotten, has recently come to have an ex¬ 
cellent vogue. This is not strange, since bear stories, 
like snake stories, always appeal to men, women and 
children, many of whom perhaps acquired their first 
interest in these animals by reading of the achievemerts 
of the bears which figured in Bible history. At all 
events, the stories in this volume are interesting, and 
are well worth the reading by any audience.
