The organization has had a very successful year due in a large measure to hard work by the officers, ably assisted by the members of the board residing in all parts of the county, and to the full cooperation by the state fish and game commission. The roll (Continued on last page) GAME CLUB WILL REORGANIZE EARLY IN MARCH (Continued from page 1) shows a total membership of 137. A resume of some of the work undertaken and completed by the club during the past year follows: fol-lows: The services of a part time game warden were secured. Oliver Strat-ton Strat-ton was appointed to the position, posi-tion, serving from the middle of June to December 28. From the state the club has been instrumental in securing for county streams and reservoirs three tank loads and forty cans of trout. Forty cans from the government gov-ernment hatchery were brought in, in addition. All of these fish were Rainbow trout with the exception of 29 cans of salmon which were planted in the Enterprise reservoir. reser-voir. The fish were distributed throughout the county, including Santa Clara creek, South Ash and Quayle, and in the Enterprise and j Grass Valley reservoirs. The number planted in 1929 was over double that placed in Washington Wash-ington county in any previous year. The club, in conjunction with the Iron county organization and the forest service introduced a checking station system in the Dixie game preserve during the I past deer season which worked to the advantage of the club, the government and game wardens, Very few violations of the law took place on the preserve. In addition ad-dition to this a complete record of the number of hunters entering enter-ing the forest and the number of deer killed is on hand for future fu-ture reference. Another accomplishment was the change in quail season dates. In the -western part of the county where these birds are a nuisance the season was kept open until the first of the year instead of closing in November as in this part of the county. Many other minor matters were taken up with " the state department depart-ment and adjusted to the satis-facion satis-facion of the local club. The organization or-ganization is in the best financial condition it has ever been in, and prospects for the present year are very bright. It is the hope of the officers that a large number of memfbers turn out on the night of the reorganization, that enthusiasm en-thusiasm be aroused that the work so ably started during the past year will be carried on during 1930. |
