I « ? » ' ' r, « -s ■m COQUILLE VALLEY SENTINEL. COQUILLE, OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE 28. 14». OUT-OF-DOORS STUFF By Lane Leneve Last Monday a red headed guy charged into the store waving a hug« cleaver/ He was looking for me and there was plenty of blood in his eye. 1 gets a couple of «how-cases between us and try to work myself into a po sition to grab up an axe or even one of the empty guns off the shelf; at at the same time 1 was striving des perately to recall to mind just, how insane persons were dealt with, but all I could stammer out was “what’s wrong?” “You know what’s wrong!” shouts this redheaded bu|cher boy from next door. Whereat he iiiforms me that I stated last week In thia column that he and his wife had caught 202 trout in a two-daya fishing trip out at Brewster, which would make 82 above the legal limit. Their actual catch was 102. Opwaa it 110? I was too busy watching that waving cleaver to remember exactly, but anyway it wasn’t over 110. It was thy state ment that the catch, was 210 that stood 411 Stanley’s hair on end and brought him forth with the cleaver. Stanley ’«ays that he -is no game hog and neither is his Wife and I trust when she reads this that the three • of us trill again be on speaking terms. It is not unusual for either the writer or typesetter to make a mis take. In this case I’d like to pass the buck to the latter but I imagine it would be hard to do. A question asked this week is: Is a 25-20 powerful enough for deer? The answer, is: In the hands of a good shot—a hunter who can place his «hots—thia little gun ta plenty good enough for deer, but for the man who is liable to shoot a deer in the tail when aiming for his heart I would strongly advise against the use . of this oaliber. Another question is: May a woman secure a fishing license for 01.60 to angle'in one county only. The an swer is no. A woman must pay 83 for a license just the same as a man. The 01.60 license is issued to boys only. Another question: Is the new 270 Winchester as good a game gun as the 30-30? The answer is: It is superior in every way to the 30-80. It has greater velocity, less traject ory and far greater energy. In fact the ballistics of this cartridge is about the same as the Government 30-06. E. V. Hand, renowned for his prow ess as a fisherman, last week regi- . stared another blue mark for him self by taking a catfish from the ditch on the south side of the river that weighed two and a half pounds, measured four inches across the head and was a little over 16 inches long. As far as I have been able to ascer tain thia is the largest catfish taken this season. • -b- It is hard to realise just how the brush is taking this county. It is taken as a matter of fact proceeding by the public in general. Few real ize what a serious situation it really is. Land, fertile land, that a few short years ago was barren of trees and underbrush today is a regular jungle. Each year sees more and more good land reclaimed by the jan gle. Grazing land, garden land is be ing surrounded, covered and strangled by the ever-inereasing thickets. I was in a country the other day that used to be open grazing land for acre upon acre, and that was only a few short years back. Today it is cohered by thickets that would make difficult traveling for a rabbit The red man and the old pioneers had the right , system—they burned the underbrush i open country where the animals were I easily found, today is grown up until «n animal cannot be seen in a week’s hunting. There are just as many deer there as before and they have natural protection. It’s a cinch that deer will be in evidence in Southwestern Oregon a thousand ye^n< from now as far as themhUnter* Uward •’terminating Black’s new dog. And what a dog! <ast week Harry purchased this seven weeks old youngster from Dr. IMx's famous kennel. At the tender age of -even weeks this little puppy ta being yard broken and is retrieving like a veteran. He certainly has all the ear marks of becoming a real field dog unless Harry has his usual hard luck «nd loses him. This is.his third at- to raise a dog to maturity. Two local citizen« are reported as having purchased “the heart”, of the Tioga country—the hundred and sixty acres that lie in the fertile part of that valley. I am not publishing their names at the present time owing jo he fact that I have been unaAle to consult with one of them. The pur chase of this land means that the cream of the valley is taken. The f.arden lan<1' -• Kob °f hunting and fishing rand to boot, but, thank good ness theee men are not wealthy Cali fornia sportsmen who will adorn their fences with trespass notices and keep the poor sportsman from entering this little paradise that is buried in the wilderness. And relative to the above will state that a report has reached me that logging road is to be estab lished between Camas valley and Al- 'egany. That in its self is quite a enture. It means the invading of a irgin wilderness, places where few men have trod. It means an unbe lievable venture—one that will take, riviliaation into the heart of-the wild-[ -rnees. Trails that have been marked for decades with only cloven hoof and Padded paws will bear the mariw of the footprints of man. Great game country, wonderful fishing streams will he opened to people who never in a thousand years would invade such a game paraside. But such is hi«- tory—especially modern history. Pav- •d highways, mountain roads, govern ment trails now invade the wilderness of yesterday. Gradually civilisation in its ruthless advance is claiming the wilderness. Old land marks are dta- aPPcaring, trails are being converted into market roads and even into ntate highways. On and ever onward moves civilization. Things that once existed are mere memories today. The un tarnished beauty of nature ta being spoiled on every hand. Even the old hospitality of the West is disappear ing before this advance of modern civilization. No longer are doom left unbarred; no longer are welcome signs placed to greet the wayfarer except in very rare instances. The glamour of the old West is fading. And speaking of the rare instances where a sign of welcome greets you; Sunday I aaw such a sign. I climbed out of the car at the edge of a lake in Curry county. In crude letters upon a rough board I read "Welcome.” We made our way to the house bordering the lake and were greeted' with a cheery "how are you—fiahjn’?" Ye«, we were fishin’ and the land owner placed hia boat at our disposal, dug us worms for bait and turned the whole lake over to us. It is ouch acta as this that warms the cockles of a man’s heart, that tugs at his heart strings as he goes back in memory over his pilgrimages into the wilds. But such men as the one we encount- ered are very rare. Thoughtless, care- less fishermen and hunters have turn and kept the forests clean and more ed them against the general run of over they eliminated the fire hazard sportsmen. Broken down fences, gates in doing this. But today the same left open and stock killed have given a land that the red man and our fore lot of land owners the wrong impres bearers kept clean is a mass of jungla sion about sportsmen in general.

It has alwa; lyf been my The 'steenth person has asked me if tpended each idea that if the money «a. each season for the prevention of the story appearing last week in Out- fires was put to the practical uae of Doors-Stuff was original. Yea it was burning underbrush and old fire trap« And I have received so many favorable in the wood«, instead of being paid comments on it that I will hand you men to prevent the burning of foresta, out another one in the near future. It would loasen the fire hazard. If the fire prevention crews maintained throughout the summer were put to work in the spring burning the under- brush in the timber they would ac complish far more good than they do sitting on lookout stations and cruis ing about the country on petrol work and seeking to prevent «he fires. Few are the fires that rage through our foresta that are ever halted by fire crews before they have practically burnt themselves out or destroyed thousands of dollars' worth of timber. And each season sees a greater fire hazard as the underbrush increases One of these days there is going to be a fire that ia a fire and nothing on earth will stop it Yes indeed, it is too bad that the Indian’s and our fore bearer«’ good example« in keeping the underbrush burnt out has not been followed down through time. But there is one thing that the underbrash does; it affords deer more protection than all the game wardensand sports men'« organisation« in the entire state. It means real protection for the ani mals.
