a bill which practically prohibited the
people of the main part Of Southern
Oregon from fishing. AT the late ses-
sion an attempt was made to remedy
this estate of affairs but it seems as if
the Portland fish commissioner would

Of the law. Portland sportsmen have,
also, succeeded in getting the game
laws so amended that no hunting for
grouse or wild fowl Of any kind is le,
gal except at the time when they are
/ I
able to take their annual vacation, the
very time we do not care to hunt. An
Ofegonian who lives outside Of Port
land isn't very much anyway. Rose
