FISH AND GAME PIC.
TURfS SHOWN HERE

Pictures of Oregon game life were
shown at the Star theater on Tuesday
evening under the supervision of
state game warden Carl Shoemaker
and under the auspices of the Morrow
County Rod and Gun Club. Mr..
Shoemaker recently put the pictures
on in Pendleton and he was accom-
panied to Heppner from that city
by Marion Jack, who is member of
the state game and fish commission.
These pictures were taken under
the direction of w. l.. Finley, state
biologist and many of them were TAX
en- under great difficulty. Especially
is this true of antelope scenes in
southeastern Oregon. The antelope
is very cautious and suspicious ami
NAL and for that reason it was neces-
sary for the picture man to use mic
roscopic lense. Pictures of the ante
lopes shown by the game commission
is the only herd in the state at the
present time. Mr.. Shoemaker stat
ed that antelope were very numerous
in this part of the state at one time,
more so than deer are at the present
time
Local sportsmen were especially in
terested in the pictures of the state
game farm at Corvallis. 1t is here
that thousands of China pheasants
are raised every year and the diff
ferent methods which are used in
bringing these birds up to the time of
liberation are interesting to see.
The fish industry is given prominence
in these films, showing how the fish
commission is saving thousands of
fish every year in the propagation
of the specie under the proper condi-
tions. The salmon fishing scenes at
Oregon City are especially worthy of
mention.
in showing these pictures over the
state, Mr.. Shoemaker is endeavoring
to increase the favor of public senti-
ment on the side of our fish and
game. In his lectures and picture
talks he explains the workings
of the commission, its aim and desire
for theutmost cooperation from the
public. He says the organization of
roda nd gun clubs in the counties ov-
er the state is helping the commission
very much in building up awide SEN
timent for the protection of the fish
ard game. Those who missed see
ing these pictures Tuesday evening
overlooked a rare treat. The pic
lures were shown free of charge to
the school pupils of Heppner at the
theater on Tuesday afternoon.

been a constant attendant during all
these years, being a faithful and re-
liable member. Mr.. Gillian nc
doubt recalled many pleasant memor-
les on this occasion, and he must also
have reflected on the years that are
passed away and recalled to his mind
a large number of the old members
of the order who have passed to the
beyond, but who, had they been pres

the pleasure of the event perhaps

that had been entertained for SO

ture at the southwest corner of Main

sonic bodies Of Heppner. And this
is not ALL The structure is a beau
tiful ornament to the city and marks
the beginning of new era of pro-
gress in Heppner. It's construction
being modern and up-to-date, it en-
bodies the latest ideas in the making
of lodge home.
