Editor Times: Tho sportsmen of this vicinity are neglecting a duty they owe, not only to themselves, but td tho whole state, In not making some effort to stop the most unsports manlike way of hunting ducks on Coos Bay and its tributaries that is followed so universally in this lo callty, i. e., chasing with a gasoline boat. Coos Bay is a natural haven for ducks, and old settlers will tell you that they have seen Its waters literally covered with ducks of all kinds. Can It bo truthfully said that there aro not as many ducks now in the country as tlien? In thi3 locality, no; in others, yes. It can not be gainsaid but what civilization deprives them of their feeding and breeding grounds to a great extent, but wo have yet with us birds enough to give all true sportsmen an op portunity to have lots of good whole some sport and secure enough birds to satisfy them. Wo had thousands of ducks on the bay this fall, but no sooner would they alight than from ono to six gasoline boats would bo after them, giving them no time to rest or feed until they were forced to seek another location to recuporato. Thero is an organization formed n Portland that Is aimed to regulate our laws for the better protection of all kinds of game, and Its Influence will be great In tho next legislature and Coos Bay should have a repre sentative In that organization, and a wholo lot of good could bo accom plished. Their next regular meeting Is In March. Coos Bay sportsmen have plenty of time to call a meeting and "select somo good man to present the wants of tho lover of good clean and sane laws, and to especially see that hunting with a gasollno boat has a stop put to It for all time.
