To His Excellency The Governor,
and the Honorable Members of the
Forty-fourth Legislative Assembly:
Gentlemen:
The Oregon State Game Commission herewith presents for your information a report of its financial transactions during the biennium of 1945 and
1946, with a general resume of the operations of the Commission during that
period and partial mention of work contemplated for the immediate future.
Not a small part of the work of the Commission is concerned with fixed
operations, such as the management of four game farms and fifteen fish hatcheries, salvaging fish from overflowed lands and general maintenance of physical
properties. Work of this class is carried on year after year on a routine procedure
and for that reason will not be commented upon hi this report except as relates
to changes occurring during the biennium. This report therefore will be
principally concerned with, (1) work begun during the last biennium and
completed in this biennium, or still in progress, and (2) new projects inaugurated during the present biennium and either completed or in progress.
A report in detail of all these matters would consume considerable space,
more than it is thought may appropriately be taken in a report of this nature.
For this reason this report will be confined to summary descriptions of the
above subjects, but sufficient it is hoped to acquaint you with a general understanding of the advancement the Commission has made during the past two
years and something of what is planned for the future. If, however, any one
should be interested in obtaining more detailed information relative to any
activity of the Commission, past, present or for the future, whether mentioned
herein or not, such information will be cheerfully supplied upon application
to the office of the Commission at No. 1634 S. W. Alder Street, in Portland,
Oregon.
Among subjects mentioned in the last biennial report as having been commenced but not completed at the time of preparing that report, were: A big
game survey, Summer lake and Camas Swale public shooting grounds and
waterfowl reserves, stream and lake survey, Clackamas river study, Rogue river
study and enlargement of Butte Falls hatchery.
These subjects will be given first consideration.
BIG GAME SURVEY. In the last biennial report it was stated that the Commission had improved upon and extended its Big Game Survey procedure. Since
that time the scope of the survey and field of operations has been still further
expanded. The Commission is well confirmed in its belief that a system of big
game survey such as has been developed by this Commission and is now in
operation is essential to the successful management of big game in the state. The
results have been most satisfactory.
Under this plan the state has been arbitrarily divided into eleven geographical units each representing a game management area, each under the direct
charge of a trained biologist and all under a chief to whom reports are made
and by whom the reports are analyzed, facts tabulated and reported to the Commission. The principal objectives are to (1) procure basic biological facts
regarding each game species; (2) determine as to increases and losses; (3)
trend of game numbers; and (4) observe and report on conditions of forage
as affecting the numbers that may be supported in the area. The operations are
strictly fact-finding. In this manner it is made possible for the Commission to
keep in close touch with the big game situation throughout the state and at
the time of making hunting regulations in July be in possession of all necessary
information upon which to base such regulations.
This system of big game survey and plan of management will be continued
on a permanent basis with such modifications as future experience suggests
desirable for greater efficiency.
DAMAGE BY GAME. One of the most perplexing problems of big game
management with which the Commission has had to deal is that of damage to
farm crops by big game. Deer destroy vegetable gardens, strawberry beds and
young orchards. Elk invade the alfalfa fields and eat and tear down hay stacks.
The Commission is fully conscious of the seriousness of the situation, not only
in Eastern Oregon but in many other parts of the State, and has devoted much
thought and consideration to possible measures to relieve farmers and ranchers
from damage suffered from depredation of big game. The problem is not
peculiar to Oregon. Other states have the same problem. The Oregon Commission has sought to profit by the experiences of these other states but without
obtaining any assistance. Wyoming, Colorado and other Western States have
experimented with winter feeding. The results, instead of remedying the situation, have usually only intensified the difficulty. Some years ago the Oregon
Commission tried feeding deer hay. The deer refused to eat it. In desperation
this year the Commission provided special elk seasons for the purpose of reducing
or scattering of habitually offending elk in the more critical areas. The effect
remains to be seen.
In appreciation of this situation and with a determination to arrive at a
solution the Commission has adopted the following policy:
1. Continued study in the field by trained biologists of the habitat, food
preferences, and trends in population of game birds and animals to the end
that the majority of game damage problems can be anticipated and corrective
measures taken before they reach the problem stage. It is recognized, however,
that from time to time there will be irruptions in numbers of game which cannot
be anticipated and which will require special action. Each of such problems
must be carefully studied on an individual basis, but in relation to the whole
game management problem, and corrective measures taken which shall include
the following methods of control:
Six
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
a. Special seasons and bag limits in critical areas—it being the purpose of
the Game Commission to permit game surpluses to be harvested by the sportsmen
of the state wherever practical.
b. In small areas involving small numbers of game and where special seasons
and bag limits are impractical, the offending game shall be removed under the
direction of the Supervisor by state employees.
c. In cases of game numbers irruption and unanticipated game damage
which require immediate action, fencing, stockading and artificial feeding may
be employed to meet such extreme emergencies, but it is recognized that these
latter remedies present no lasting solution to such problems, but only tend to
intensify them.
d. Continued biological study by trained personnel looking toward the
development of new methods of control and regulations of game numbers in
critical areas and in areas where it can be reasonably anticipated that game food
problems may develop.
One biologist has already been assigned to a specific study of the game
damage program to exhaustively test all known methods of control and to devise
if possible new practical methods which offer promise of providing a solution.
Others of the big game personnel will lend their assistance to the study.
SUMMER LAKE RESERVE—The Summer Lake Public Shooting ground project is now an accomplished fact. The project was begun in 1943 and has now
been completed for the use of the public. It is the first undertaking of the
kind ever initiated by the Oregon Game Commission. The territory embraced
comprises 13,265 acres and was acquired by purchase through the use of PittmanRobertson funds, three-fourths of which is received from government appropriation. Of this area 6,163.89 acres, including the lake proper, was purchased
from the State Land Board. In addition to the above there is an adjoining tract
of 3,951.22 acres of government land that has been set aside by presidential
proclamation for use as a refuge to be administered by the Game Commission.
An approximate composition of the area is: Shallow marsh, 4,500 acres;
open lake, 1,000 acres; grassy meadow interspersed with ponds, 2,000 acres;
alkali flats 5,165 acres; and potential grain land, 600 acres. It is a requirement of the Federal Government that where Pittman-Robertson funds are used
for the purchase of an area of this nature, not less than half of the land must
be maintained as a refuge. Of this tract 5,658 is open to public shooting and
7,607 is closed to shooting. This latter acreage includes part of the alkali flat
not used by waterfowl.
The purchase of additional land is not contemplated at this time and future
activities of the Commission will now be concentrated on the management
of the reserve and its improvement to increase its attractiveness to waterfowl
and for the accommodation of hunters. Among proposed improvements is the
conversion of about 2,500 acres of the alkali flat into a shallow marsh through
GAME COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON

a system of dikes and ditches. This work will require some time for its accomplishment. No attempt will be made to provide accommodations for hunters.
That will be left to local residents in the vicinity of the lake, some of whom
have already shown an interest in providing cabins and meals.
The reserve is in charge of a resident keeper and each hunter is required to
check in and out of the area each day he hunts. Hunting permits are sold at
the rate of one dollar a day. This money goes into the game fund to assist in
defraying the expenses of administration.
The reserve was first opened to hunting in 1944, though at that time
arrangements had not been fully completed. In 1944, 2,201 permits were sold,
4,102 in 1945, and 5,202 in 1946. In 1946 the hunters represented 28 different
counties in the state. Seventy-five per cent were from counties west of the
Cascades, 20.3 per cent were from Multnomah county, 20 per cent were from
Deschutes county, 18.7 per cent were from Lane county, and 11.1 per cent from
Linn county. There were 101 nonresidents.
Not only will the Summer Lake area be operated as a wildfowl reserve but
attention will also be given to the promotion of muskrats for which it is ideally
adapted. In the last season (1945) 981 muskrats were taken, yielding a return
of $2,256.30 to the game fund.
CAMAS SWALE RESERVE. Encouraged by the success of the Summer Lake
project, the Game Commission has selected a location in Western Oregon 12
miles south of Eugene, known as Camas Swale, for the creation of a Wildlife
Management Area similar to that at Summer lake. This area, as now planned,
will contain 3,153.83 acres and while at this time it has little wildlife, it is
so situated that through installation of a series of ditches and dikes and the
growing of plants used by ducks and geese it can be converted into a feeding
and nesting ground that will attract waterfowl. This land is strategically located
for this purpose, lying as it does between two large waterfowl resting areas—
Fern Ridge and Cottage Grove Flood Control Dams—as well as being on the
Willamette Valley main waterfowl flyway. These two dams have no attraction
for the birds other than as resting areas because the fluctuation in water level
eliminates the growth of waterfowl plants and discourages nesting. The Camas
Swale project when developed will take advantage of this situation and supply
this deficiency.
Already about 85 per cent of the desired area has been purchased by use of
Pittman-Robertson funds, and the Commission is proceeding to acquire the
remainder. No work of improvement can be advantageously undertaken until
title to all land required has been secured.
As with the Summer Lake project, since federal funds are being used to
purchase the Camas Swale land, one-half of the area must be closed to hunting
to form a sanctuary. This regulation is regarded as advantageous since it will
operate as an inducement to the ducks and geese to remain in this vicinity.

BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
STREAM AND LAKE SURVEY. Prior to the war the Commission began a biological survey of all streams and lakes in the state. The biologists engaged in
the work entered the service and the survey was necessarily discontinued. These
men have now returned and the work has been resumed. Survey of the coastal
streams has been about completed and attention is now being directed to the
more intensively fished waters. It is evident both from the standpoint of
number of fish taken and monetary return, this survey is of prime importance
and necessary to prevent over-exploitation and depletion. The Rogue river is
the one stream where it has been possible to carry on survey work continuously
all through the war period. In view of the proposal of federal agencies to
construct dams on this river that would greatly damage if not destroy the run
of steelhead and salmon, it is very essential that the Game Commission be
fully informed of all the facts relating to the game fish life of this river for
use particularly when this proposed development again becomes active.
CLACKAMAS RIVER STUDY. In the last biennial report reference was made
to a biological study having been begun on the Clackamas river. This study in
essence is directed toward determining survival rates of hatchery reared trout
of various sizes, planted at different seasons of the year, and incidentally the
relative value of natural and artificial propagation in this and similar streams.
Definite information on which to base stocking and management policies on
such streams should be produced from this study. When started in 1941 it
was expected that the study could be completed in 1946. A closure of the area
to the public by the military authorities in 1942 necessitated a temporary
abandonment of the project. Now that the area is open and biologists are
again available, this study program is being resumed and will he carried to
completion as rapidly as possible.
SOUTH TWIN LAKE EXPERIMENT. In the biennial report of 1941-42 a
description was given of an experiment being conducted by the Commission to
eradicate the chubs from South Twin lake, southwest of Bend. As stated in that
report, all of the fish in the lake were killed, an estimated five million, of
which but six were game fish. One year later, following replenishment of the
natural food organisms in the lake, restocking was done, and in 1945 opened
for fishing. In the first year 9,352 fish were caught. This year (1946) 10,011
were caught, running from 6 to 18 inches in length and weighing a total of
6,495 pounds. By the experiment in this lake it was demonstrated that a lake
lost to game fishing through the introduction of trash fish could by poisoning
of all fish, be restored to productivity, although the present price of the required
materials makes the procedure expensive, and even prohibitive in cases of the
larger lakes.
BUTTE FALLS HATCHERY. Mention was made in the last biennial report
that a bill was pending in Congress transferring the government hatchery at
Butte Falls on Rogue river to the state. This bill has become a law and the
hatchery is now the property of the state and under complete control of the
GAME COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
Nine
Commission. Steps are being taken to enlarge the capacity of this hatchery. This
will include among other improvements, the construction of four new rearing
ponds.
UMPQUA RIVER. A special project has been set up on the Umpqua river.
The overall objective of this study is to obtain a comprehensive understanding
of the fishery of this river and the application of practical management thereto.
This project includes a salmon and steelhead counting station on the North
Umpqua at Winchester dam which was established by the Game Commission in
September, 1945. in February, 1946, a joint program by the Game Commission
and Fish Commission was initiated on the Lower Umpqua with headquarters
at Reedsport. The study includes a salmon and steelhead tacking program on
the lower river and upstream migrant count, sport creel census of both the
lower and upper river, and a study of downstream migrations.
DIAMOND, EAST AND PAULINA LAKES. Special studies are being made at
Diamond lake, and also at Paulina and East lake, with the objective of determining means and methods of improving the fishing in these most important
lakes.
WALLOWA LAKE. A study of Wallowa lake was started in the spring of
1946 to determine the efficiency of stocking lakes of this type exclusively with
hatchery reared fish. Wallowa lake is typical of lakes where no natural spawning
occurs in the lake proper. Natural spawning to supply this lake takes place
in the two tributary streams emptying into the lake. By blocking off these
tributaries all natural spawning will be eliminated. Then by stocking only with
hatchery reared fish, the value of hatchery reared trout for stocking purposes
will be ascertained in lakes of this type.
INCREASED ANGLING DEMAND. In the biennium there has been a phenomenal increase in the number of angling licenses issued. The number issued
in 1946 will not be known until all reports from sales agents have been received.
In 1945 there were 175,552 persons licensed to angle in Oregon. This was an
increase of 26,862 over the preceding year. The indications are that the increase
in 1946 was even greater than in 1945 but assuming it to be the same there were
over 200,000 persons licensed to angle in Oregon in 1946. This increase is
casting an exceptionally heavy demand on the lakes and streams of the state and
correspondingly intensifying the problem of managing the fishery resources of
the state to cope with the situation. No one measure will be sufficient. Resort
to every expedient that promises relief is necessary. Among other things efforts
are being directed toward increasing the productivity of the lakes by the removal
of trash fish, rendering streams capable of carrying larger populations through
the removal of obstructions where possible and the constructing of fishways
where removal is not possible, preventing excessive losses in irrigation ditches
by expanding the screening program, and making surveys and studies of lakes
and streams incident to the determination of other methods appropriate to the
improvement of the fishing opportunities. An experiment is under way to test
Ten
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
out the efficiency of blocking off sections of streams and using the same as
rearing ponds. The construction of six new hatcheries, three east of the Cascades and three in Western Oregon, are under considerati6n. Money for all
of these projects, including the construction of the new hatcheries, has been set
aside out of funds accumulated during the war period. It is the policy of the
Commission to intensify its efforts in this respect and to operate all hatcheries
to maximum capacity as far as possible. In the operation of fish hatcheries,
keeping the fish free of disease and parasites is of the utmost importance. To
attain the greatest hatchery production, the Commission has recently added to its
staff of biologists a nationally recognized specialist of wide experience in the
control of disease and parasites, who is also equally proficient in the subject of
fish nutrition.
FISH FOOD SITUATION. The most serious difficulty with which the Commission has had to deal in the operation of the fish hatcheries, and which continues to be serious, is the inability to secure sufficient fish food, to operate the
hatcheries to the extent desired. Of these foods fresh meat is not only scarce but
high priced. It has even been found necessary to feed brewer's yeast in place
of beef liver, since it contains a similar vitamin. Competition for these products
by fur farmers, cat and dog food manufacturers, and other fish and game departments, has not only increased the cost but materially reduced their availability.
Substitutes such as dried milk, fish meal, etc., are practically unobtainable and
no relief is in sight.
SCREENS IN IRRIGATION DITCHES. A considerable loss of fish Occurs each
year through fish entering irrigation ditches in their down stream migrations
and becoming stranded in fields. There has been a statute requiring owners
of irrigation ditches to install proper screens, but the Commission has had poor
success in enforcing compliance with this law. In 1945 the Legislature enacted a
new law authorizing the Game Commission to build and install screens in all
irrigation ditches where the screen would not exceed eight feet in width, and
to use game funds for that purpose.
Promptly after the passage of the law the Commission began operations to
carry out its terms. The Commission has developed a type of screen which has
been found the best of any designed. This is a revolving self-cleaning screen
on which the Commission owns the patent. Since a large number of screens,
of various sizes, will be required, the Commission finds it advisable to engage
in the manufacture of the screens. Accordingly a factory for this purpose has been
set up at Central Point and completely equipped with modern machines to turn
out screens in mass production.
Not only has the factory been built and equipped, but during the last year
137 screens were manufactured and installed. The work has been handicapped
however by the scarcity of material. Advantage was taken of the opportunity to
purchase War Assets Supplies, and in this way 46 tons of tool steel were purchased for shafting on the larger sized screens, at about one-eighth of the market
GAME COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON

price, and should be enough for construction of all the larger sized screens that
will be required in the entire state. Seventy-three hundred pounds of cold rolled
steel for use in the smaller screens were also purchased at about one-third the
regular market price.
Experience gained during the past year will enable the factory to increase
production about 33% per cent during 1947, and correspondingly reduce cost of
production.
It is the expectation to build 150 screens during the winter of 1946-47 and
install the same during the summer of 1947. Provision is also made for the
maintenance of the screens to see to it that they are kept in continuous working
condition.
When this work of screening was first undertaken it was estimated that it
would take six to eight years to complete the installation. The experience of the
past year confirms this estimate.
As far as known Oregon is the only state that has engaged in the manufacture and installation on a large scale of fish screens in irrigation ditches.
Other states have sent representatives to work in the factory at Central Point and
with the installing crews in the field, with a view to following Oregon's example
in the manufacture and installation of screens in irrigation ditches.
STREAM OBSTRUCTIONS. In addition to the construction and installation
of screens the Commission- has constructed several fishways to permit fish to
pass over dams, and has removed a number of artificial obstructions such as log
jams that have been preventing the passage of fish. Altogether nine log jams,
three on the Nehalem and six on the Wilson river and tributaries, have been removed. The six log jams on the Wilson river and tributaries were removed by
the Game Commission with the assistance of the Fish Commission and the State
Highway Commission.
The fish ladder constructed over the Eagle creek falls located in Eagle creek,
a tributary of the Clackamas river, and fishway built over the dam in the Calapooya, were constructed jointly by the Game Commission and the Fish Commission. There were also three abandoned dams removed which had been left
by sawmill operators. This work of constructing fishways and the removal of
obstacles from streams, is included in the post-war program of the Commission,
for which funds accumulated during the war period have been specially earmarked and set aside. This is an extensive program and will require considerable
time but will be prosecuted diligently.
GAME FISH IN COASTAL STREAMS. The maintenance of game fishing in the
coast streams of Oregon is dependent on two kinds of trout, both of which are
native—the steelhead and the cutthroat. Attempts to naturalize other kinds of
trout have not met with success. Previously there had been insufficient information upon which to base dependable management practices. The Commission
Twelve
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
has collected this information in its stream survey. Until this Commission proved
otherwise, it was never thought practical to hold cutthroat trout in brood ponds
for spawning. To learn more of the life history of this trout, a station has been
established in Tillamook county. Observations will be made to determine at what
age the fish mature to spawn, migratory habits, age at which they go to the sea,
time spent in fresh water and in salt water, disposition to return to the parent
stream, and other facts material to the formation of efficient plans of management.
SPECIAL COASTAL STREAM SURVEY. It is provided in Chapter 356, Oregon
Laws of 1945, that the State Fish Commission and the State Game Commission
shall together conduct and make complete surveys and studies of various coastal
streams, bring in a report to this Legislature of these findings and make recommendations for new legislation regulating the fisheries in the coastal streams.
This is the act against which a referendum was filed; however, in order to be
prepared to report in the event the referendum was lost, both commissions
proceeded to conduct and make the survey called for in the act. The action of
the Legislature was sustained by a vote of the people at the November election,
and the two Commissions will submit their report to this Legislature.
MISCELLANEOUS. The Hood river hatchery was closed during the war because the foreman had enlisted in the armed service and the Commission had
no one of experience to take his place. The foreman has returned and the hatchery was reopened in December, 1945. The main hatchery building at the McKenzie fish hatchery was entirely destroyed by fire. This has been completely
rebuilt through the use of the state restoration funds and is again in full operation. Because of the shortage of materials and labor it has not been possible to
do more than a fraction of the repairs and improvements urgently necessary at
the fish hatcheries and which the Commission had included in its postwar plan.
However, the rearing ponds at Cedar creek hatchery have been improved by the
installation of concrete sides and bottoms and at the Wallowa hatchery a very
much needed pipeline has been installed.
HERMISTON GAME FARM. The Pendleton game farm was purchased in 1924
and has now been in continuous operation for over 20 years. In this time the
equipment has suffered natural deterioration until it has reached the point where,
if the farm is to be continued, it will be necessary to rebuild entirely all of the
rearing and holding pens. It is very evident that sooner or later it will be
necessary to increase the production of pheasants for stocking in that section of
the state, and on account of its size, 38.86 acres, this will not be possible with the
Pendleton farm. Since a considerable expenditure will be required to rehabilitate
the Pendleton farm, the Commission decided the better plan would be to purchase a larger farm and use the money to equip the new farm, and then when
the new farm is in production sell the Pendleton farm. With an increased acreage,
as the demand for birds grows, there will be an opportunity for expansion under
the same management.
GAME COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
Thirteen
Acting on this conclusion, the Commission purchased a new farm of 290
acres located five miles south of Hermiston. The purchase price of the land was
$35,000 and all but 10 acres is under irrigation. As soon as the materials
required for the improvement of the new farm are available, the work of
construction will be commenced.
In this connection it is appropriate to state that the Commission has been
giving attention to a study of the area near Madras recently brought under irrigation. There is every reason to expect that this territory may develop a pheasant
habitat similar to that of Malheur county. At the appropriate time the Commission stands ready to stock this area with pheasants from the Hermiston or
Ontario farms. With proper management this irrigated district should support
a pheasant population per acre comparable to that of Malheur county, now having
the most intense pheasant population of any county in the state.
COYOTES. Notwithstanding the 1937 Legislature provided for the creation
out of the state game fund of a predatory animal control fund to be expended
by the Commission in cooperation with the Bureau of Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agriculture now the Fish and Wildlife Service of the
United States Department of the Interior, for the control of predatory animals in
Oregon, the Commission has during the last two years devoted additional funds to
an experiment in hunting coyotes from an airplane. During the fall and winter
months of the 1945-46 season, 804 coyotes were known to be killed in this
manner, and an additional 94 probably killed. The total cost was $4,722.71,
or an average cost per coyote of a little over $5. This is less than the Commission had been able to kill coyotes by hunting or trapping in the usual way.
The success of the use of the airplane for this work on the part of the Commission has stimulated private individuals and county grazing boards to take up the
same means of reducing the number of these predators.
BEAVER DAMAGE. In pioneer days Oregon was known as the "Beaver State"
because of the abundance of beaver in the state. For many years trapping of
these animals was unrestricted, with the result that the beaver population
declined to such an extent that in 1893 the Legislature took notice of the fact
and in that year passed a law providing a closed area in certain counties. This
was the beginning of legislative action to conserve this valuable fur bearer. Provision was made for licensing trappers, still there was no limit to the number
that might lawfully be taken. There is no record of the number of licenses
issued prior to 1923—in that year 1,884 licenses were issued. The next year
there were 1,020 and thereafter the number annually declined as the beaver
became scarcer and scarcer until in 1930 the number was down to 285.
Alarmed that the beaver might become extinct in the state, the Legislature
of 1931 closed all of the state but three counties. In 1932 the Game Commission
closed these three. In 1937 the Legislature closed the entire state and turned
over to the Game Commission the matter of the conservation of this wildlife
resource and to control the damage to private property. In the beginning the
work was largely experimental.
Fourteen
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
In 1939 the Game Commission took over completely the trapping of all
beaver doing damage and employed experienced trappers to do the work. The
objective has been (1) to protect landowners from damage by beaver and (2)
conserve this fur resource as far as reasonably can be done consistent with affording protection from damage, and (3) to utilize this mammal in water and soil
conservation wherever possible. The procedure followed is whenever complaints
of beaver damage are reported to the Commission, a trapper is sent to remove
the animals. If in the winter when the pelts are prime, the animals are dead
trapped and the pelts sold to help defray the expense. In 1945 the Commission inaugurated a new policy under which each pelt taken is labeled with the
name of the owner of the land on which it was taken; then when the pelt
is sold one-third of the amount received is paid to such owner. This arrangement has proven popular with landowners, and since the fur is only marketable
when taken in the wintertime, the average landowner, except in cases of exceptional damage, prefers to tolerate the beaver during the summer for the benefit
to be received from a sale of the fur taken in the winter. As a result landowners
have generally expressed satisfaction with the new arrangement and look forward to the expected return. During the summer months a comprehensive livetrapping program is maintained whereby beaver are trapped from areas in which
they are doing damage and transplanted to the high reaches of the watersheds
throughout the mountainous sections of the state.
Special care must be exercised in preparing beaver pelts for market in
order to obtain the best prices. It is estimated that skins not expertly prepared
will bring only as much by one-half as those prepared by experienced trappers.
Only capable men are employed by the Commission as trappers. Sales of pelts are
made at regularly advertised public auctions, and buyers come from as far East
as the Atlantic Coast. This is the usual method followed in making sales of
furs and ensures receiving the highest market prices.
The catch of the winter of 1945-46 amounted to 3,005 pelts, and these
brought a total of $141,940.89, or an average of $47.23 each. Some exceptional
"blankets" sold for as high as $70. Of this total $39,604.01 was paid to farmers
and ranchers as their share.
The Commission will continue this policy of turning over to the landowners
a share of the money received from the sale of the beaver caught on their lands.
PHEASANTS. The pheasant situation in Eastern Oregon is generally fair,
but is showing improvement. By far the best habitat is found in Malheur and
Umatilla counties. A careful pre-season census in 1946 in Malheur county
showed an average of 45 pheasants per 100 acres of habitat which is regarded as
an excellent shooting population. This exceptional condition may very properly
be attributed to conservative regulations adopted by the Commission beginning in
1943, of greatest influence being the prohibition against the killing of hens
and basing the kill on available crop.
GAME COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF OREGON
Fifteen
The quadrat system of measuring pheasant populations is used by the Oregon
Commission alone. By this method the average number of birds per 100 acres
of habitat is ascertainable with a dependable degree of accuracy, and it is the
practice to base seasonal regulations on the results of such census.
In the Willamette Valley the pheasant situation is not satisfactory. Here
management has been complicated by a series of poor nesting seasons in 1943,
1944, 1945 and 1946. As an example, an unusually severe rain storm at night
early in July, 1946, took a heavy toll of young pheasants. These conditions
brought the population to an unusually low level, in some instances as low as
6 birds to the 100 acres. For these reasons, and the unusually heavy gun pressure in the Valley, no open season was provided in 1946. It will be necessary
to practice rigid management to bring the population up to a figure where an
open season is again advisable.
GAME COMMISSION BULLETIN. For some time there has been a growing
demand that the Game Commission issue a publication. The Commission viewed
the matter favorably, but delayed the issuance pending consideration of the type
of publication best suited to the uses of the Oregon sportsmen. Various suggestions had been' received, all of which were given careful consideration. Finally
it was decided to issue a monthly printed publication 81 inches by 11 inches in
size, to consist of not less than four pages, to be called "Oregon State Game
Commission Bulletin." The first issue appeared in April, 1946, and contained
six pages. All recent issues have contained eight pages.
The purpose of the Bulletin and the field it is to cover is expressed in the
dedication found in the first issue, as follows:
"During the past ten years our hunters and fishers in this state have about
doubled and each citizen is finding more leisure time in which to enjoy the
great out-of-doors with which we have been so richly endowed. In order
that proper management of our great heritage may be effected, it is necessary
to study carefully our wild life on a scientific basis to the end that this result
may be best made to serve those who love the great out-of-doors.
"The Commission has during the past several years employed trained
men who have chosen the wildlife field as their life work and have sent
them into the field to gather this information which must guide the Commission in its work.
"The Commission has grown to realize the necessity of giving to the
public of Oregon the results and benefits of its studies so that the general
public may better understand the program, problems and regulations of this
Commission.
"We, therefore, dedicate this publication to all the citizens of the State
of Oregon with the sincere hope that it will bring you each a greater
understanding and appreciation of this great natural resource and the desirability of management program based on facts alone."
Sixteen
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
The Bulletin is regularly sent free to all who request it, and additional
copies are sent to all wildlife organizations and sportsmen's clubs in the state.
In this manner 25,000 numbers are circulated monthly.
The Commission is as yet undecided whether the Bulletin should be sent
free or a regular subscription charge should be made to cover the cost of paper
and printing. It is believed a more satisfactory distribution would be made if
the Bulletin had the benefit of the regular newspaper second-class mailing privilege of one and one-half cents per pound. Under the Federal postal regulations,
however, this second-class mailing privilege extends only to publications for
which a bona fide subscription price is charged, and hence to obtain this advantage, it will be necessary to charge a regular subscription price.
This matter is being given further consideration. Regardless of the manner
of distribution, it is the intention of the commission to continue the publication.
NEW BUILDING. Since 1921 the offices of the State Game Commission have
been in the Oregon building situated at Fifth and Oak streets in Portland. About
the month of October, 1945, the Commission received advance information that
a sale of the building was pending and that when made the Commission would
be required to vacate the premises. The Commission immediately set about
finding a new location for its offices. It soon became apparent that there was a
dearth of vacant office space in Portland suitable to the use of the Commission,
particularly since because of the expanding activities of the Commission larger
quarters than those heretofore occupied would be required.
November 1, 1945, it was announced the building had been sold. Already
the Commission had thoroughly canvassed the city for quarters but without
success, and in its extremity next turned to the consideration of the purchase
of a building.
Several prospective locations were considered and at length as the result of
negotiations with the owner it was found that property situated at Number 1634
Southwest Alder street could be purchased at a price considered reasonable, and
which after appraisement and investigation was found not above the market
value thereof. The improvement consisted of a two-story and basement brick
and concrete building 100 feet by 100 feet in size. Though considerable alteration would be necessary to adapt it to the use of the Commission, it would be
possible to immediately occupy it, and the necessary alterations could be made
during such occupancy. Not only would the building after improvement provide ample office space, but would also afford storage and garage space for
which the Commission had heretofore rented other quarters.
A careful estimate was made of the cost of the necessary alterations and it
was concluded that the total cost of the property was such as to render its
purchase advisable. Accordingly the Commission concluded the purchase, the
contemplated improvements have been made, and the Commission has been
occupying the premises since February first, 1946.

On the main floor are the general office, lobby and executive offices. Additional offices are on the second floor, together with laboratories and the main
auditorium. The remainder of the building is used for warehouse and storage,
including refrigeration for storage of furs. The building is completely modern,
and is estimated to have a 50-year life. Retiring the cost of the property at the
rate of 5 per cent annually, will be less than the annual rental for a like amount
of space in an equally desirable location. The annual saving in rent during the
life of the building is estimted to be more than the cost of maintenance and
operation.
A cut showing the Alder street side of said building is shown on the cover
page of this report.
CONCLUSION. In concluding this report the Game Commission desires to
refer to the statements made in its 1943-44 biennial report regarding its not
having been able to carry on operations as fully as would have been done had not
the war intervened. Until the beginning of World War /I the annual receipts
of the Game Fund had been annually consumed in expenditures required to pay
current running expenses, maintenance of the physical plant and necessary expansion of operations. The suspension of the scientific program due to the absence of the workers in the service, the inability to purchase materials and the
scarcity of labor resulted in the accumulation of a vast amount of things that
could not be done during the war period, but which it would be necessary to
do to catch up the delayed work of the Commission. As a consequence there
is an accumulation of money in the Game Fund.
This accumulated fund would already have been considerably reduced had
the opportunity to obtain materials been co-extensive with the return of man
power, but in many instances conditions, such as scarcity of building materials,
have remained critical, more so even than during the war. This situation has
been further complicated by building regulations of the housing administration.
The result is that while the Commission has been confronted with an increasing volume of things all urgently demanding attention to bring the physical
plant up to date, the better to meet the mounting demands of the sportsmen, all
the Commission could do under the circumstances has been to prepare a complete
plan for postwar operations and allocate the funds on hand to the fulfillment of
that program. Examples of items contained in this postwar program are: The
building and equipment of the Hermiston game farm; the building and equipment of six new hatcheries; building of several residences for employees at fish
hatcheries due to housing shortage; building of a cold-storage plant to store
fish food; improvement of Camas Swale reserve; purchase and improvement
of other game reserves and public shooting grounds; carrying on program of
screening irrigation ditches and stream improvement; removal of trash fish from
lakes; and replacement of obsolete equipment. The completion of this postwar
Eighteen
BIENNIAL REPORT OF THE
plan will easily consume all of the accumulated funds and in the face of higher
cost of labor and materials, there may be doubt as to its sufficiency to accomplish
all the Commission has in contemplation.
The Commission stands alert to take advantage of every opportunity to
enable it to go forward with its postwar program as expeditiously as practically
possible.
