to use to snare these giant fish. It’s
a cinch you will need something be­
sides your shiner rigging when you
make connections with these big
sports. If it were not for the depres­
sion I would be sorely tempted to of­
fer a prize for the first blue channel
cat taken on the Coquille with hook
and line—not by the use of dynamite.
But the only thing I am in a position
to offer is a half column write up for
the lucky bind that takes the first fish.
This blue channel cat story is no myth.
They really exist there. To any of
you who desire trying your luck after
eats, who will send me a self addres­
sed stamped envelope, together with
a ten dollar bill, check or money order,
I will be glad to send by return mail
full information relative to taking this
elusive fish.' Hold on a minute!
I
forgot the depression is on, so just
eliminate the ten dollar» and send
your request and I will be glad to give
you the dope on the subject. Just ad­
dress: Lans Leneve, Associate Editor
Pacific Northwest Features, Beausite

take a large envelope for that ad dro as
I am sorry, but it is the only Washing­
ton addroes I have.
There’s a network of both large and
small lakes throughout this district.
district destroyed an entire covey of
young grouse chicks within a period of
five minutes. Each bird was tracked
down and killed. It is indeed a crime
for a covey of birds to be wiped out
in this manner after the old mother
bird has hatched them out, right in
the haunts of natural enemies. Then
after they are almost large enough to
take care of themselvee, to have a dog
come along and murder the entire cov­
ey. If a sportsman takes his dog out
for exercise in the early summer or
during the spring, he should keep a
watchful eye upon him at all tim e«.
For the poor mother birds face enough
danger and hardship« in raising their
little broods as it is without having to
face the peril of a keen nosed bird dog
forever seeking her and her covey.
Did. you know that muskrats are
sold in restaurants in many large
cities? They are usually served fried
and sold under the name of “marsh­
rabbits”. Taking into consideration
the fact that they are a specie« of
mice, “marsh-rabbit” appears to be a
rather flattering mune for | them.
There are thousands and thousands of
dollars worth of muskrat pelts sold
ovary season. They ar* one fur-bear­
ing animal that is holding its own, de­
spite the advance of civilisation.
There are two reasons for this. One is
the fact that they propagate so fast.
A female gives birth to all the way
from three to six litters a year, num­
bering all the way from three to
twelve. The other is the fact that they
are not meat eaters and do not take
poison bait that is distributed in most
districts where fur-bearing anima)«
abound. These animals are usually
rather shy, especially when hi their
natural haunts. Every now and then
they migrate from one lake or a pond
to another. It may surprise you to
know that during this time they seem
to fear nothing and have been known
to attack man sarvagely when their
progress was barred.
Most of them contain trout, baas, carp,
and catfish, while soma only contain
carp. It is claimed that carp have
never been planted in any of ths lakes,
so the question naturally arises, “how
did they get there in the first place?”
They really were planted there,
though not intentionally it see m s, if
the theory of some of the old timers
’ is correct and it seeme plausible
enough. They claim that years ago
small carp were used for bait for baas
in most of the lakes. Fisherman would
carry the live carp about in water con­
tainers to use for bait. When they
’ had finished fishing they would throw
the remaining live bait into the lakes.
These small carp propagated until

harmless rodents that supply food for
valuable fur-bearing animals have
been poisoned by the Survey until the
fur-bearers’ natural food is becoming
scarce in some districts. The mice in
one district in Eastern Oregon have
been practically exterminated. They
ware of a harmless species and in­
fested sage brush land. They sup­
plied a dirt for the coyote, together
with rabbits. One lone coyote was
reported in thia district that was
forced to kill a sheep for food in cros­
sing through to a better game coun­
try. A poison station was put out
for the coyote and having no other
food to eat he took a poieon bait and
died. But in killing him thirty-eight
valuable stock and farm dogs were al­
so poisoned. One Washington sports­
man, with whom I have talked on the
subject of this poieon erase of the Bi­
ological Survey, has expressed the
whole thing very ably when he re­
marked, ‘¡that organisation

¡adopt the slogan: *it’s alive—KILL

neither have I. That’s why I got a
kick out of reading about such a rifle.
A popular author made mention of
thia gun in a short story appearing
not long ago in a leading magazine.
It was used as a death dealing weapon
in a murder mystery story. 'Die au­
thor knows his murder mysteries but
his knowledge of guns appears to be
some what limited.
The Remington Arms Company now
have on the market an over-under
gun. It is a 12 gauge shot gun with
one barrel directly under the other.
This sort of gun is preferred by a lot
of shooters but few can afford it. In
the past such guns have been of a for­
eign make and were purchased at
from $500 to 81500. The one put out
by the Remington company sells for
s paltry 81000. Just a mere trifle for
a rich sportsman who owns baited
lakes, hires guides and hunts in lasy
luxury. But for hunters like myself,
why wo have to be content with look­
ing at the illustration of such a gun
snd wondering how it would compare
with our expensive 850 grades.
Ray Long, formerly of Coquille and
now residing at Port Angeles in this
state, must have gone in strong for
fishing and hunting up hero. Prac­
tically every sportsman I have talked
with in these parts has heard about
Ray and his fishing and hunting epi­
sodes in this state. He is only forty­
eight miles distant from here and I
am going to take a run up and see
him one of these days and worm a
yarn or two out of him for this col­
umn.

POWER COMPANY
Revenge in their grasp, the Co­
quille Logogrs failed to rally to the
occasion, and as a result they went
down to defeat. 7 to 6, aa North Bend,
nemesis of the Fortieritea, won from
the locals for the second time this
season. Coming as an upset, the Log­
gers were not at their beet for the
fray, which, though loosely played at
times, presented its thrills.
Each club gleaned a run in the
opening inning, and in the third Co­
quille pulled ahead, adding three
tallies to her ledger.
One run was
made on a four-base smash by Willie
Steward. Pulford, who had singled
beforehand, and Sturdivant, on base
on an error, «cored ahead of him.
North Bend made two in the fourth
when a brace of hits, a wild pitch and
a couple of boots put the the tallies

The other league game last Sunday
waa won by Eaetaide, 11 to 1, over
the Reedsport team. Paul McHale,
strong-armed Eastside hurler, pitched
a great game, and backed by brilliant
support, he allowed the losers but live
hit«.
Marchfield was to have played Gold
Beach, but not wishing to take the
long trip, she dropped from the
league, forfeiting the game. Financial
conditions were given as the reason
for Marshfield’s dropping from th«
circuit.
