Shack on Nov. 11th, 1916. the idea was
conceived for the organization of a
Rod & Gun Club as means of planting
fish in numerous creeks and lakes IS

mass meeting of local sportsman was
called and an organization know as the

all enthusiastic hunters and fisherman,
were elected; N. ]. Peterson, Presi-
dent; A. j. Kroencke, Secretary; FL
mer Gustafson, Treasurer; Arthur
Younggren, Director; Lloyd Vedder,
Director. The interest that men of
Covington and vicinity have taken in
the Club is attested by the rapid growth
of the organization, and on the men,
bership roll the names of the foremost
business men of this vicinity may be
found. At the last meeting of the
Club held January 9th plans were
placed before the Club for an active
campaign to get new members and the
following was adoped as being the most
practicable. The Club was divided
into two teams known as the Rod team
and the Gun team, with P. F. Tracey
as-captain of the Rod team and N. j.

each team under the leadership of its
caption to campaign for new members
