A prominent fish and game merchant of
Portland sends in the following complaint
against the deer-skIn hunters of the sur
rounding country: Notwithstanding all
efforts made to put an end to the practice
of killing deer for their skins, it appears
that the miserable, con temptiOie skin-hunter
is still at his work of destruction in the
Cascades. Several boxes of deer skins have
been received here lately, put up in way
to conceal the contents. The proper persons |
have this matter in hand, and are taking |
steps to secure the punishment Of the guilty |
parties.
