(Post photo) Oregon recorded the highest April traffic death toll in 11 years when 63 persons died on the state's streets and high ways. The Motor Vehicles division reported last week that the April death count pushed the yearly toll to 193. compared with 155 traffic deaths during the first four months of 1975. Non-collision accidents ac counted for 24 of the 57 fatal accidents. The next most frequent crash was the head-on collision with 10. Better driving weather may have been a factor in the toll, with 48 per cent of the fatalities on weekends, compared with about 33 per cent of the fatalities on weekends during the past two months. DMV noted five multiple- death crashes, one killing three persons and four claiming two lives each. Saturday, April 10, was the worst day of the month for traffic deaths when eight were recorded. The division also reported that of the 35 blood alcohol reports received from county medical examiners to date, 19 or 54 per cent, indicated vic tims had consumed alcohol before death. Despite the high toll, 10 Oregon counties reported no traffic fatalities in April. Of those reporting deaths, Jackson and Multnomah counties reported six each; Lane and Polk counties five each; Tillamook and Columbia counties four deaths each; Clackamas, Lincoln, Malheur and Washington counties three; Gilliam, Marion, Douglas, Umatilla and Wasco counties two and Baker, Benton, Clat sop, Coos, Crook, Harney, Hood River, Josephine, Klamath, Wheeler and Yamhill counties each reported a single traffic death. elk now than ever before Many ranges have tended to shift in recent years from browse or “ leafy” forage to grass ranges, a transition that favors elk, usually at the expense of deer. On northeastern management unit trend routes biologists recorded an average of 11.7 elk per mile. This compares with 10.3 per mile last year and 8.2 per mile for the ten-year average Antelope populations also remain fairly stable although biologists did note very poor fawn production this year in the F o rt R ock-Silver Lake, Juniper, M alheur, R iver, Maury, Ochoco, and Silver Lake units. Antelope fawn production has been gradually declining in recent years and biologists believe climatic factors and predation have probably been the m ajor Mountain units These units are on what used to be the fringe of antelope range and have not. so far, been open to hunting »peeeeeee e » ee e ee a eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eoeeeoeo peeeeeeeeaeaa ROGER ROOK DISTRICT ATTORNEY Lot'» keep him w orking for usi!
