Augusta Ga, March 5.-Ex-President
William II. Taft arrived at Augusta at
S:j5 o'clock this morning. Despite the
early hour-for It is early here until ~
o'clock-an unusually large crowd gath
cred at the station TO welcome him.
An hour and a half after his train ar
rived he was literally lost from the
public on the beautiful lake course of
the Country Club.
NJ. Taft stepped from his car into
the warm sunlight of an ideal Southern
day. The same broad smile that told
his frienus AT Washington farewell
yesterday afternoon greeted his friends
here this morning. He stopped In the
station TO grasp the hand Of veteran
lieutenant of police who has always
greeted him on his visits here, and
then walked through the station 10 the
plaza in front.
Mr.. Taft paused at large fountain
and watched the play of water in the
sunshine. II was just before school
hour and. hundreds of children gath
cred. He stopped TO shake hands with
two or three Of them. and there was a
stampede from which he extricatcd
himself with difficulty.
With his party Mr.. Taft motored 20
the hotel. He went 10 his apartment
for a few minutes and from there O.
rectly to the Country club. With Mrs.
Laughln, Mrs. Taft's sister. he imm"-
diately went out on the links. He YVES
so eager for the game that he simply
divestet himself OF his topcoat.
Mr.. Taft had reached the fifth hole
when he broke up the game to return
and start one with Harry Lauder.
They played the full eighteen holes Of
tho lake course, Lauder finishing with
Taft down.
In the afternoon the ex-President was
on the links again, and tonight he oc-
cupied a box at the theatre, his first
public appearance.
The ex-Presidcnt enjoys his liberty.
He will not be interviewed, and the To-
cal newspaper men. who have inte--
viewed him so often in the past. have
not tried TO break into his daily rou-
tine.
While Mr.. Taft is the guest OF me
city there will be no social or formal
functions. 1t was his urgent request
that he be allowed to be his own master
Of ceremonies, and for the three weeks
he is in Augusta his wishes will be re-
spected.
In the Taft party are Mrs. Taft, Miss
Helen Taft, Mrs. Laughlin, Mr.. ana
Mrs. Charles D. Hilles and Mr.. Misch-
Ter. his former assistant secretary.
C. 7. Taft and II. W. Taft are eX-
pected to join the party later.

Few sections of Oregon, or Of the
West, can boast OF more to offer the
sportsmen. than does Umatilla county.
There are places where the fishing
may be better. there are spots where
deer are more abundant. there are To-
calities wnere the ducks fly thicker
but there are few places where the
sportsmen can find something and
find II fairly abundant in every sea-
son. Not the least pleasing part of the
matter IS the accessibility of the sport.
Starting with the opening of the
trout season on April first there is
something doing for the year-rounl
sportsman until April first of the fol-
lowing year.
While not as famous as A trout
stream as some, 1t is doubtful II more
than two or three other streams in
Oregon yield as many trout annually
10 the angler as does the Umatilla
river and its three principal tributar-
les. Meacham. Mckay and Birch
creeks. While the Rainbow trout Is
the predominating variety he is not
the only fish caught by any means.
In fact in the cary spring the gamey
steelhead salmon is frequently taken.
The specimen are just as large and
just as full of fight as those which

coast mountains for example, the size
and quality are so far superior as to
make them well worth the effort 1t
requires to find and kill them The
mule deer. which IS the one found
here. is probably the largest of the
deer family and those who should be
f. position to know declare it is far
superior. from the eating standpoint,
to the smaller black tail deer found in
the coast and western slope of the
Cascade mountains.
The Deer Country.
While every local hunter has his
own particular place where he thinks
deer are the most abundant there can
be little doubt but that the south
eastern corner Of the county is the
favorite haunt for the majority of the
men who go after big game. Accord
ing to stockmen whose business takes
them into the hills and mOuntaineers
who live there all or a part of the
year, deer have been increasing rapidly
during the past two years.
Frank Hilbert, one of the largest
and best known stockmen in the
southern end of the county says the
past winter is the first in ten years
that it has been a common thing To
find deer in his feed lots with the cat

man who has the strength and the
determination to induce him to climb
steep hills there is little shooting of
any kind to surpass 1t. The ridges In
habited BY the birds are usually very
narrow and their sides very steep. 50
that the hunter must be both quick
Of eye and finger.
Duck shooting.
Closely following the grouse season
on September / comes that for ducks
September IS and then for a period
Of six weeks all three seasons are in
full blast with an opportunity for the
hunter to take his choice.
Duck shooting in Umatilla county
has greatly increased since the open
ing of the various reclamation pro-
jects. especially the Umatllla project,
in, the west end Of the county. The
inhumerable seepage lakes which
formed with the spread of irrigation
have made ideal breeding places for
all the better known varieties of ducks
and thousands of these birds are
grown in the county every year. The
! -'NN'Ai9iA'AAFhh VI lilt uallblldl re-
fuge on the Cold Springs reservoir has
also added greatly to the shooting.
The birds have come to know that they
will not be disturbed here and instead
of leaving the country when harrassed
on their feeding grounds they go to the
reservoir. Here they gather by the
thousands, going out in the evening
and early morning to feed in the wheat
fields or along the river and ponds
where natural food is to be found In
abundance. During the past winter
thousands OF ducks wintered on the
reservoir and then in the spring
hunted up nesting places along the
river and in the seepage lakes. with
the result that never before in the his
tory of the county have there been SO
many wild ducks as at present.
Later in the season the flight of the
northern grown birds will arrive. All
of them will remain for a few days or
weeks and many of them will never
go further south. being content to re-
main here until spring when they will

tie. In speaking of this he added,
''and it looks mighty good to me-"
Fred Groom, who has been a forest
ranger in the Whitman National for
est for several years, says he has
never seen the deer so plentiful on his
district as they were this spring.
Among others who have reported a
rapid increase in the number of deer
are Henry I1aZinka, one of the best
known stockmen in eastern oregon;
Albert Gillian, the Birch creek ram
cher and pioneer hunter; John Thomp-
son. the upper Umatilla river cattle
man and any number of others whose
names cannot be recalled at the mo-
ment,
These men all attribute the rapid
increase in the number of these splen-
did game animals to the awakening of
the people to the fact that something
had to be done to prevent their utter
determination and to the better win
ter protection which this awakening
has made possible. In former years
few deer were killed during the open
seasons, the hunters waiting until af-
ter the deep snow came TO go out
when the animals were helpless and
shoot them down like cattle in a cor
raj No attention was paid to sex or
age and oftentimes the carcases were
left where they fell.
Protection Needed.
If protected in the winter time the
mule deer will easily take care of
himself during the remainder of the
-
til he will be found in almost. if not
quite. as large numbers as in early
days. II is doubtful If any game ami
NAL that roams the woods is quite the
equal of the Blue mountain deer in
his ability to evade the hunter and
while the experienced hunter usually
has no trouble in getting his limit
each year. the inexperienced man usu-

wing their way back to their favorite
nesting grounds in Canada or Alaska.
Wild Geese.
The Wild goose season also opens
with that for ducks and while Umatilla
county has not yet become as famous
as the Arlington country for this
class of sport. the number Of geese Is
annually increasing very rapidly. This
is also directly due to the resting and
roosting place afforded by the Cold
Springs refuge Thousands of these
big birds spend their days and nights
on the reservoir. going out to the
wheat fields to feed OF mornings and
evening. Here the hunter concealed
in a pit is in waiting with his decoys.
Though the state laws provide that
ducks and geese may be hunted until
February Is, such will not be the case.
Fortunately for game bird protection
throughout the nation, the new feder-
al regulation for the protection OF mi
gratory birds authI rized under tho
Weeks-McLean law. goes into effect
October first. According to these reg
ulations. which supersede the state
law, the season will close December

will be permitted before sunrise or af-
ter sunset between October first and
the close of the season.
Then for a period of Ia months
the hunter will be compelled to con-
fine his efforts to coyotes, bear, wild
cats and cougar or turn his attention
to big fish for under the new game
code it Is lawful to catch trout ten
inches in length or over any time
during the year. 1t Is also lawful to
take salmon with hook and line at
any time of the year.
The coyote is so numerous as to be
classed as a pest. More of these ami
mails are killed annually than all other
animals combined unless 1t be the
jaekrabbit. another animal regarded
as a pest here and jespised as food.

have made the Rogue and the Sandy
famous for this class of sport. The
Dolly Warden is also not unknown
while, thanks TO generous paintings
by state ani national authorities the
beautiful Eastern Brook trout is be-
coming more and more plentiful.
But the Umatilla is not the only
angling stream of which Umatilla
can boast. In the northern part oi
the county is the Walla Walla river
and attesting to the value of that
stream as an angling water is the
fact that during the year 1912 more
than 100 residents of Walla Walla
paid SIS each for the privilege of COM
ing over into this state to fish in the
stream of the same name as their
city. This year with the price of nom
resident licenses reduced to one dol
lar the number of outside fishermen
will be more than doubled
In Southern Umatilla.
Then in the south end of the county
within easy reach OF the automobilist
is Camas creek and its tributaries.
trout are taken from these three
streams annually, their close prox-
unity to the summer resorts of Leh-
man and Hidaway springs, making
them favorites for hundreds of sum-
mer vacationists.
Then there is always the man VIII D
wants to go little further than the
other fellow. The man who does not
want to be confined to one stream or
one county but who wants to take his
sleeping bag and frying pan, to
spend few days in the real "open."
For him there Is an abundance to Of
fer. For instance there are the two
Meadow creeks, Desolation creek,
Sheep creek, Chicken creek and Fly
creek. not to mention a number of
smaller tributaries
The first of the hunting seasons to
open Is that for deer which begins
August first and continues for peri
od of three months While deer are
not nearly as numerous here as they
are in some parts of the state. the
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1913-09-13

ally comes back with wagon load Of
excuses and an unsatisfied appetite.
Time. patience and care are all neces-
sary requisites to successful deer
hunting, but to these must also be
added experience, which cannot be OBJ
taiined from books.
Following the deer season comes
that for grouse. Both varieties are to
be found In this section, the ruffled
grouse, commonly called the native
pheasant and the Blue grouse. The
latter is the more plentiful and is con-
sidered the better game bird. though
for eating purposes his smaller cousin
Is undoubtedly superior. There may
be places where grouse shooting is
easy sport but in this section It is no
sport for the "mollyooddle." For the
