Deer Season
WllOpenO On
August 10Th

What Is expected by sDortsmen
to be the biggest deer season for
years will start on the west side
of the Cascade mountains next
Saturday. Many campers and
mountaineers have reported that
animals and tracks have been seen
in such numbers as to justify the
expectation for a big year, and
local sportsmen are unanimous in
their opinions that such will be
the case.
The season, which began last
year September /, has been ad-
vanced this year a few days and
will start August 20. remaining
open until October 90, for all ter
ritory west of the mountains. In
the second district east OF the Cas-
cades the dates will run from Sep
tember l to October 81.
Much Of the hunting will be
done in southern Oregon, where
sportsmen expect to find the deer
most numerous, but reports indi-
cate that good shooting Will be
found in the Siletz and Tillamook
districts and on the upper Santiam
and Abequa rivers. A number Of
parties have already left the elty
for southern Oregon and elsewhere
ready to be right among the noun
tains when the season opens.
