Mushroom hunters come armed
NORTHWEST
CRATER LAKE (AF) —
Mushroom pickers armed
with guns and knives are
sneaking into Crater Lake
National Lark to seek the
prized matsutnke.
On Monday alone, rangers men 1 j people lor
illegally picking mushrooms in a national park
They have seized Ihroo guns and a dozen big
knives so far. said Chief Ranger George Bucking
ham.
The guns Included two snub-nosed .38-caliber
revolvers and a 22-caliber rifle
"We're being overwhelmed." Buckingham sa.d
"Rangers are getting a little com erned when peo
ple start coming to the park with guns and knives."
The park is high in the Cascade Range, where
the prized matsutake. or pine mushroom, can be
found this time of year Picking is legal with a per
mit next door on the Winema National Forest.
But just as logging and hunting aren't allowed in
national parks, neither is mushroom picking,
whether for commercial purposes or for fun.
The pickers cited Monday were part of a group
of 50 working on the southern edge of the park.
Buckingham said Many of them ran when they
saw rangers approaching.
With matsutakes in short supply and bringing
prices of $40 to $70 a pound, mushrooms have
(income big business in the Northwest.
"The pickers feel threatened,” Buckingham said.
"That's why they carry firearms."
‘We’re being overwhelmed
Rangers are getting a little
concerned when people start
coming to the park with guns
and knives
George Buckingham,
Crater Lake chief ranger
(ieorge Shorbourne of Medford, treasurer of the
Mount Mozaina Mushroom Club, said ho is wor
ried commercial pickers will crowd out the people
who do it for fun.
"Used to go out 15 years ago and never see a
guv,” he said. “It's getting like doer hunting now.
You really have to dodge the bullets."
The Chomult Ranger District of the Winema
National Forest has issued about 3,000 daily mush
room permits since Sept. 1. said John /jipell of the
Forest Service. No citations have been issued on
his district.
"This year we haven't checked anyone who
hasn't hod a permit," he said.
Meanwhile, park rangers will continue looking
for mushroom hunters who venture into areas
where it is illegal to pick.
"They like the early morning hours, trying to hit
the boundary before our people get out," said
Ranger Uwe Nehring "But we're out there."
Slain German’s companions jailed
GRANTS PASS (AP) — Tho
couple traveling with a German
man who was shot to death at a
highway rest stop have been
jailed while investigators decide
whether they are in the country
illegally.
"They are being processed as
deportable aliens while tho
investigation is under way."
David Beebe, district director of
the Immigration and Naturaliza
tion Service in Portland, said
Thursday.
Beebe said investigators wore
checking whether the couple
exceeded the 90-day limit on
foreigners being in the United
States without a visa, as well as
reports they had worked with
out a visa.
Investigators hoped to learn
more about the death by search
ing the van the three were trav
eling in Tuesday night, when
the man was shot at an Interstate
5 rest stop north of Grants Pass.
"Most of the information is in
the van," District Attorney Tim
Thompson said.
Meanwhile. Sheriff Dan
Calvert minimized the possibili
ty that the victim hod been
killed by a robber. Robbery was
the apparent motive in several
tourist slayings in Florida,
where 10 foreign visitors hove
l>een killed since last fall.
"I don't believe we have
someone that is out there just
arbitrarily shooting individu
als." he told the Daily Courier
newspaper.
An autopsy on the victim,
who apparently was shot in the
chest, also was scheduled.
Thompson said.
The victim was identified by
the German consul in Seattle as
Alois Wetzel, 37. His compan
ions were identified as Erwin
and Monika Rochholz. a married
couple. Hometowns of the three
weren't available.
Consul Lothar Schneider said
Wetzel had come into the Unit
ed States last May as a tourist,
without a visa allowing him to
work.
Beebe said Wetzel exceeded
the 90-day limit on his entry
into the United States last May
through Freeport. Bahamas, and
investigators were checking to
see whether his companions had
done the same.
