      Sorry to have made tia e-'or in not forwardinw "Ir Leffingwell's

      letter. Tt was an oversight. Same is attached. 
 
      As to his paper on ringneck pheasalts. This as made up at the 
      request of Sherman Lloyd about a year and one half ago and after 
      it was completed was found to be not what our division wanted. 
 
      Leffingwell ýndpavored to place this with some of the ammunition

      companies and I dont know if he was successful or not. I do know 
      that he wanted to realize some money on it. 
 
      Under these conditions I believe it would be best for you to write

      him and ask for the paper yourself. I have no doubt, unless he 
      has allready placed the article, that he will gladly forward it 
      to you. 
 
      T just received a call from Harold Clifford, Oregon State Game 
      Warden, asking me to come down to Salem tomorrow where a bill 
      is to be considered tfnt will change the Oregon game administration

      from the state commi ssion form to that of th- county system. 
 
      We are making a fight to keep this from going thru as I would cer-

      tainly itat to see another state loaded down with the same form of

      administration as we have been hampered with for so many years. 
 
      Please keep me advised as to your progress with )r Leffingwell. 
 
                                        Yours very truly,
