Dear Jack: Uncle Your 2, 19354 Jr. letter of July 30 reached me this morning. I have noted what you say regarding duck shooting conditions, and am sending your letter on to Mr. John Browning, president of the Bear River Club, who doubtless will reply to you. I am not well informed as to the situation at the Club, nor do I know what it is possible to do along the lines of your suggestion, in view of the rulings of the advisory board at Washington. It is possible that John Browning can tell you. We have had exceedingly hot weather and the driest season and the hottest that this section of the country has experienced in half a century.

OF nnouncement for 19359 BEAR RIVER CLUB COMPANY, Secretary’s To the Regular Members Corporation Office, of the Bear River Club Company, Ogden, Utah, September a 15, 1933 of Colorado: Gentlemen: On our October members at 16th the the CLUB duck shooting HOUSE season will OPENING, open and all preparations OCTOBER The charge for board and lodging will be $3.50 per day. We urge all members to visit the Club at some time 13, during are being made for the reception of 1933. the coming season. Last year the duck shooting was unusually fine during the entire season. There was a large increase in the number of canvasback and redheads on the lake and taken by the members. This year conditions have been excellent throughout the summer, which has been quite dry in Utah, but our sources of water supply have kept the lake up to maximum height and a great abundance of duck food has grown, and a luxuriant growth of tullies and rushes. There has been a fine hatch of birds and there appears to be more ducks than usual on the marsh. There has been no duck sickness on our grounds and practically none on the Federal Project. OPEN SEASON at The Secretary of Agriculture has recently fixed the open season this year in the zone in which our club is located sixty days, from October sixteenth to December fifteenth. ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS NOW PAYABLE Notice is given that, as provided by Article XI of the By-Laws, levied on each regular membership held by you as follows: Annual Assessment of 10% Government Tax Special Assessment on No. 23 the annual and special Assessments | have been Same Total per share use The Annual Assessment is levied for the purpose and benefit of its members.” of paying regular expenses and “to maintain the Club for the Special Assessment No. 23 is for the purpose of payingon the indebtedness. The balance of our bond issue amounting to $28,500.00 matured May 1, 1933. The bank which holds $11,000.00 of the bonds is in liquidation and has insisted upon payment, but an arrangement has been made with them whereby their bonds will be paid out by proceeds from special assessment No. 23. The holders of the balance of the bonds have agreed to a five-year extension, during which time the plan adopted by the Board aims to call a part of those bonds each year. PAYMENT OF ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS The Annual and Special Assessments must be paid to the Treasurer by October 1, 1988. Make all checks and drafts payable to the Bear River Club Company and mail to A. P. Bigelow, Treasurer, Ogden, Utah, who will return 1933 MEMBERSHIP CARD. -Members Members holding one share should remit $205.00. holding two shares. should remit $410.00. BOATS The following rule was adopted by the Board of Directors at a meeting held September 9, 1930: “Owing to the fact that the number of boats owned privately by members is steadily increasing, thereby requiring more room to house them during the inactive season and increasing expense to service them and put in condition to be used during the active season, and because of the further fact that the great number of boats on the river around the guides’ house makes a congestion there, and the fact that a guide much prefers to have one boat in charge during the season instead of changing from boat to boat: “It is, therefore, considered for the best interest of the Club to have boats owned by the Club instead of by members individually. To that end any member who may now be without a private boat is requested not to have one built; but to use the Club’s boats instead; further that any member owning a boat may, if he chooses, turn it into the Club on the following basis, to wit: Estimating the life of a boat at six years, any boat turned in shall be purchased at its original cost less 1/6 of the amount for each year the boat has been in service, the amount remaining credited to the account of the member and against such credit shall be hereafter charged the per diem charge for Club boats used by said member. The ownership of motors not to be disturbed by this arrangement.” HOW TO The REACH THE CLUB: following schedule shows the time Oregon Short Line trains run at present: FROM OGDEN THROUGH BRIGHAM Leave Ogden 12:50 A.

The Club already has a number of shares in its treasury and some effort has been made to dispose of these shares in order that the proceeds might aid in carrying omr running expenses, The little success with which we have met is indicative of the difficulty of selling hunting club shares at this time.

If the assessment could be paid and the share carried for another year by the Estate, there is a fair chance that a buyer could be found at a price of 7400.00 or $500.00. .It is possible that someone in your organization or among your acquaintances might be interested, if informed.

SNEDAKER, SECRETARY ENGRAVING EQUIPMENT SECOND SOUTH STREET SALT Lake City, UTAH January Mre John Ogden, Utah. Dear 30, 1933 Browning, Jack: I was glad to get your letter and I approve your idea in reference to new members. It seems to me, however, that it will be impossible to interest anybody, at this time of the year, in our shares at $1000.00; possibly that amount might be secured before the opening of next season, assuming, of course, business conditions are no worse than now. SeAt t this time whether shares can be placed at more than 2500.00. just that I doubt went down to see George Mueller yesterday and pretended that we had selected him to take up the bonds for us, at least those at the Ogden State Bank. George explained very carefully that he could not consider the proposition at this time. Then I explained very carefully that I had not expected that he would do it. If it should come to a showdown, though, I am sure George would do his part and he is going to keep the new member matter in mind and do what he can. At present I have no prospect for members outside of the three or four Duckville members that Paul Keyser would like to get in the club, but I don't think these men are very enthusiastic at present. I will see Vr. Bradley and we will try to secure some members here, but think you and Archie had better get together and give us a better share price to work with. I sincerely hope be favorable.
