The first Bpring day In several
weeks started the bug on good roads,
as a result of which the Bend Auto
mobile club was organized this noon
at a meeting held at the Pilot Butte
Inn.'
irtipensing with tnnny-tf the us
ual formalities of organization, the
club elected H. J. Overturf, presi
dent; Harper W. Skuse, vice presi
dent; Frank R. Prince, secretary.
and Clyde M. McKay, treasurer.
That the elub may be on a work
ing foundation within a short time.
President Overturf appointed Dennis
Carmody, O. C. Henklo and P. C
Garrison a committee on constitu
tion and bylaws, upon which a re
port will be given at the next meet
ing March 31.
To Interest not only owners of
automobiles in tho advancement of
the causo of good roads, it was sug
gested that a Riders' Club be an
adjunct organization to the auto
mobile club, this organization to
have a membership of "go-alongs"
who are Interested In the good roads
movement of this locality.
The meeting this noon was called
at the Instigation of A. Whisnant.
who called the meeting together and
briefly outlined the purposes aud
intentions.
Twenty-seven nuto owners and
others were in attendance at the
meeting.

Ccntrul Council Committee Will Put
Mutter t'p to C'ommrrcuil Club
Committee Next Week To
Consider Other Phases.
Desiring to come into closer touch
with the Commercial club work In
regard to the proposed (100,000 city
bond Issue for the Strahorn railway,
a special committee representing the
Central Labor Trades & Farm Coun
cil will meet with the Commercial
club committee next week, before
the final report is given at the Com
mercial club luncheon on W'ednasday.
This was decided on last night at the
regular meeting of the council, when
Harry Pearson, A. E. Edwards and
H. Hall were named to confer with
the boosters' committee and come to
an understanding in regard to the
relation of local labor, with the pro
posed railroad.
Can .Swing Election.
While it is understood that labor
In Bend Is generally favorable to the
voting of $100,000 bonds to Insure
Strahorn construction, instructions
are still to be given, and it Is claimed
that a solid union vote can swing the
election either way. One of the chief
points which the council's commit
tee will' ask to have settled, Is In
regard to the labor supply. They
contend that labor for the construc
tion of the road from Bend should
be drawn from Bend and the vicinity,
rather than bringing in crews of
workmen from other parts of the
state and the United States. They
will ask that local men be given the
preference.
Other Questions of minor imoort
'a ike,' it Is understood' will be brought
up when the labor committee and
the Commercial club members who
are Investigating public opinion on
the subject get together.

Lacking time to go Into the work
thoroughly, the Bend school board
meeting last night, postponed the
annual election of teachers for the
coming school year, and will take up
this and other business at an ad
journed meeting to be held Tues
day evening.
Discussion was held as to the ad
vlsabllity of co-operating with the
Bend Amateur Athletic club by hav
lug an instructor in the schools who
would be able to handle both man
ual training and physical training
It was decided to take the matter
up with the athletic club.
The directors voted In favor of
taking out a membership in the Na
tional Educational association.

Propagation of Trout is Big Prob
lem Protection for Game Ih
Suggested by Game War
den Curl Shoemaker.
By Cary D. Shoemaker,
State Game Warden.
The Fish and Came Commission
comes In Intimate touch with every
lass of citizen of Oregon. The itch
to angle and the desire to handle a
gun seems to be born In everyone.
Children are delighted with fishing
games and with toy pistols and
guns, and as they grow older this
inborn hankering to wade alone the
streams and climb the mountain sides
grows with them. True, it is, that
one's occupation may lead him from
the paths of sport, yet there Is al
ways within his heart the desire for
a good day's outing and the joy
which goes with the nulllnr In nt
a gamey fish or the bringing down
of a big buck. Oregon has a popu
lation 01 less than one million, has
close to 100,000 sportsmen who an
nually purchase their licenses and
make one or many pilgrimages to
tne snrine 01 sportdom. .
In order to take care of the eame
birds, animals and fish that exist
In the wild state and to provide for
the distribution ot game birds and
game fish propagated at the hatch
eries and the state game farm and to
give an adequate patrol service, the
t isn and Game Commission is com
pelled to maintain an extensive or
ganization, the ramifications ot
which are many and intricate.
Streams Brought Nearer.
The constantly increasing use of
the automobile and thn better maris
have placed many of the hitherto
out 01 tne way angling streams and
hunting gfourids practically at the
back door of the sportsman. Fish
ing conditions In Oregon ten years
ago were better, beyond question,
than they are today. This Is true
because ot the greater number ot
people who angle today and ot the
inroads being made upon the npper
reaches ot spawning streams and
the elimination ot a great many ot
the waters ot the state for natural
spawning beds, through the develop
ment of Irrigation projects, power
plants, and mining operations. As
an illustration of this, the upper
reaches ot the Columbia river at
one time were the natural spawning
beds of the salmon. Today, these
spawning beds have been practically
ruined. . -.
Stocking is Problem.
The greatest problem of the Fish
and Game Commission, therefore,
was to provide artificial propagation
of the fry in the various streams of
of trout fry and for the distribution
the state. .The central hatchery at
Bonneville was established about
eight years ago and millions ot trout
fry have beenj propagated there, an
nually to restock the streams of Ore
gon. Last year thqre were liberated
more than seven million tingerling
trout throughout the state, of which
number 287,000 were distributed in
Crook county. It has been the pol
icy of the Fish and Game Commis
sion to obtain trout eggs wherever
they could be taken in sufficient
number to justify the expenditure
'ot time and ' money and establish
feeding stations where the yonng
fry could be reared In as nearly the
natural state- as possible. Such a
feeding station has been established
In Deschutes county, and It la the
opinion of Mr. R. E. Clanton, super
intendent ot hatcheries, that the
work of building up this station will
be started within a short timo. Cer
tain, It is, that the value of such a
station has been demonstrated and
must be continued If streams are
be restocked and replenished. The
Fish and Game Commission main
tains about 20 such stations, all ot
