that nearly encircles Camp Sitkum
there is a delightful pool almost
surrounded by rocky walls. The out
let is a swift channel through
which the salmon delight in pass­
ing. Night guard Sarge Williams, of
the camp, knew of this pool and
tried his luck there recently as an
angler. This is his story:
H r tried a couple of casts. No
luck. Then a glistening monster
broke the surfuce of the water in
i splendid leap. No sooner had his
third cast hit the water thun he
felt a jerk that whipped his rod into
a bow. Frantically Sarge reeled in
Ihe line. He gave a tremendous
'»cave on his rod. At the same In­
dent the salmon leaped into the
air. It slipped from* the hook but
be combined force of Sarge's heave
ind the salmon’s leap sent the fish
lying over the nimrod’s head.
He turned just in time to see it
lescribe a beautiful arc to land in
he open maw of a small bear and
lisnppear at one gulp. The little
ellow then made a precise military
:bout face and disappeared into the
irush, leaving Sarge staring at the
place with open mouth.
And that’s Sarge's story.
of health »how that In the first ten
months of this year there were
only 40» deuths of infants under
one year of age, a rate of 34.0 per
1000 live births.
The rate for Oregon In 1939 was
36.0, the fourth lowest in the coun­
try. The national infunt mortality
rate for the year 1939 was 4$ per
1000 live births, in 1930 it was 51.0
and in 19,37 it was 54.4. New Mexi­
co hud the highest infant mortality
o f all the stutes, reporting 109.3 for
1939, compared w ith
Minnesota's
rate of 35.4 for the year, Ihe lowest
in the country.
Oregon figures for the first ten
months of this year indicate a big
decline in infunt mortality. If the
remaining two months of 1940 con­
tinue as favorably, Oregon will
probably have the lowest Infant
mortality rate in the nation for the
current yeur.
In October of this year there
were 1305 births reported to the
stute board of health, and 52
deaths of infants under one year
of uge giving the state an infant
mortality rate for the month of
30.1, one of the highest of the year.
