There are thou sand* upon thousand* of sportsmen who far* forth into the woods with no desire to take th« live* of most of th* forest creatures. It io true that th* deer, bear and certain game birds are hunted and killed. But on the other hand the man who slay* them ha* a respect for them; in fact a love for that which he slay* and always in hie heart the feeling of fair play pre dominate*. There are few who slay wantonly without giving the gam* a fighting chance and th* kill is usually made with the thought in mind of the delicious food that the game will fur nish. The killing of the whale was of no benefit to any one. It wa* of no food value or of no commercial value whatsoever. It was deadly, malicious slaughter, and committed, it appears, by a real “killer”—by a man with no respect for life, it seem*. After re ceiving the death wound the whale made a wild rush for th* boat and but for the boat putting an full speed it would hav* rammed it and sunk it Personally, I am sorry, indeed, that the big fellow didn’t accomplish hi* purpose. The world would be far bet ter off with such men where the whale i* today, for the man who is supposed to be civilised today, who cannot con- trol h's passion to kill just for th* pure joy of killing, is a menace tn modem civilisation. r During th* past three years I hav* hunted with a mighty fine China pheasant dog. But thi* year, a few week* before the season opened, he died. I never knew what it really meant to hunt without a good dog until I «tempted the stunt hi* week. That dog of mine let me know when a pheasant wa* near. He wa* forever seeking out tracks and eagerly work ing ahead of me each moment of the hunt. It was disheartening, trying to flush birds without him. Each favor ite spot I visited brought back a flood of memories. I could vision th* dog working ahead of men—could see hi* stubby tail describe circles, as he hit * hot track. I could see again the big rooster soaring into th* air; th* crack of the gun and the thud of the bird as it struck the ground. How proudly he brought it to me. Ye*, *ach field held a memory. I sure missed my lit tle four-legged pal. . A “believe it or not” fish story come* from the tnouth of the Sixes. Two Coquille fishermen are said to have caught two mighty Chinook* with their feet. The water was real shallow at the mouth of the Sixes and the salmon were coming in by the hundreds. Th* fishermen jump«! in and began kicking the fish upon the shore. They finally managed to fall upon a couple of them and using half nelson* and other famous hold* they pinned them to th* sands. For confirmation of thi* story in quire at CoquiUe post office.
