Snyder, of Van couver, Wash. He paid $10 for the privilege of hunting in Oregon the re mainder of the year. Rev. Mr. Snyder was formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church at Brownsville, and makes an annual trip here to hunt, being a keen sportsman. He is now on his way to the mountains after deer. Several licenses are issued in linn county every year to nonresident hunt ers, but most of them come for the pheasant season in October. Last year hunters from Kansas, Ohio and South Dakota were included in the list. In anticipation of the opening of the season for buck deer tomorrow, a great many licenses are being issued in this county now. The total thus far issued is 320. Last year a total of 1443 was issued here, and the opening of the pheasant season will probably bring this year's total up to that figure. ALMOST DISASTROUS END. TACOMA, August 14.
