"The pelicans are protected ! by law, but one pelican will destroy 'more fish In a year than 60 fisher ! men. For that reason fishermen ' feel that they have not done their duty toward fishing unless they kill at least one pelican a year. The pelicans are a nuisance and serve nn good purpose that i have ever discovered. They are not even or namental, for they are large and ungainly. H Is a strange slKht to see. a flock of pelicans operate. They will string out In a fan shape and swim toward the shore. The fish enclosed hy the semi-circle I flee before them, nnd as the shore Is approached tho fish are fright ened and are jumping out of the water. Then when the fish are near the shore the birds fall upon them. They eat all they can and then stuff more fish in a pouch they have. The pelicans in this mass formation are actually ope rating like salmon seiners on the Columbia river. No one likes the birds and they are certainly de structive of fish. H would be it good thing for our community if all of these hlrds were extermi nated." Tho Oregonfan.
