The Hood River glacier. (Hood River, Or.) 1889-1933, 1903-11-26

The Glacier is indebted to A.C. Slater
for a fat wild goose killed by him on his
recent hunt in Gillian county. JoC
Loser, Robert Ramsey and A. C.Staten,
went to Gillian county and put in ten
DAYS shooting wild geese and ducks. Mr.
Staten returned Saturday with a vel
developed case OF the grip. He says the
weather was very cold in Gillian county,
and every day the hunters shivered
with cold. Mr.. Staten's party succeeded
in killing 124 wild geese besides lot oi
ducks. There were many hunters from
Portland and other parts, but none were
so successful as the party from Hood
River. The latter had no decoys and
dug no pits, and did all their shooting
on the wing. Mr.. Staten brought home
one goose that dressed Is pounds. He
SAYS there are thousands, yes millions
of wild geese feeding every year on the
wheat stubbe fields of Eastern Oregon.
The slaughter OF these birds by hunters
every year seems not to diminish their
numbers.
