In one of the Oregon City newspapers last week, appeared an article, stating that W. W. Smith of Parkplace, would take over the deputy game warden- ship of Clackamas County, July 1st next, succeeding Ben S. Patton ^ of Estacada. Thi^ article was reprinted in one or more of the Portland pap ers, but to date the foundation for the story has not been locat ed, as only the name of C. Schue- bel of Oregon City is mentioned in the article, as being in anyway connected with the announce ment. As soon as the hundreds of friends and acquaintences of Mr. Patton, learned of the contem plated appointment of a warden in his stead, they immediately got busy and are using every known means to let the Oregon State Fish & Game Commission and especially Gov. Withycombe, the chairman, know the senti ments of this county regarding the succession of Estacada’s popular warden. Mr. Patton is as much in the dark as are his friends, having received no advices as yet from any source, in fact the first that he knew of the announced ap pointment, was the receipt of a letter from the Bureau of Biolo gical Research of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture, offering him a fine position in that depart ment. VVhile Mr. Patton appreciates the honor of this latest offer, he does not wish to relinquish his position nere, as he has given his entire time to the proper hand ling of inis office lor five years past, during wnicli time he has made hundreds of close friends among the sportsmen and farm ers. He naturally refu-es to relin quish his office, without knowing tne grounds for his retirement, although some of his friends are hoping that if a change is made, he will lie promoted in the de partment as he deserves.
