The rear detachment of the South Half club consisting of Dr. W.F. Diffenbacher, Postmaster P.R. Parks, W.B. Dingle of Hotel Colville and commissary sergeant James Petty, returned from the south half of the Colville Indian Reservation Tuesday.
A.J. Lee of the Hotel Lee, L. Stannus of the Stannus Keller Hdw. Co. and Earl Townsend of the R.E. Lee Co. returned Monday.
The club this season experienced some difficulty and delay in securing the necessary permits and licenses from the Indian department to hunt on the reservation, but by the efforts and influence of Postmaster Parks, the privileges were finally granted. These individual permits, which were issued by Capt. John Mc. A. Webster, Indian agent at Miles, were presented to Charles Lawson, Indian farmer at Inchelium.
The party made camp at the Hall Creek bridge ten miles above Inchelium. This old campground which has been headquarters for the club the past 10 years, is located three or four miles from the prairie chicken ground and is easily reached by auto.
Though game birds were supposed to be scarce the statutory limit of birds were killed daily.
