June 12 - Portland is the keenest sort of sport - worth much more than deer-hunting. The recreative phase of game-value of predators must be credited to them. A good case can be made against the "extermimate the predator" campaign June 13 Left Portland for California at 8:15 last evening. Daylight at Roseburg; a few miles above saw a ? American Merganser flying up a swift mountain creek close by the railroad, brown head and white on speculum showing plainly. 9:30 a.m. - At Gold Hill, Oregon: as train stoppt, heard several Robins a Word Fowler, and some English Sparrows. A large colony of Cliff Swallows on an old building near the station.
