WON'T BE LONG NOW - This trophy buck will soon lose its antlers as herds concentrate
on bleak, snowbound ranges in dead of winter. Game agents must work fast during early
winter to classify bucks, does and fawns in each herd before antlers are shed. (Oregon State

Agents survey
game resources
Oregon State Game Commission
agents throughout the state are
traveling far and wide conducting
inventories on Oregon's big game
resources.
The annual task begins shortly
after the hunting seasons and con
tinues through winter and into ear
ly spring.
First phase of the big-game in
ventories is herd composition
studies to determine ratio of
bucks, does and fawns on each
range.
Biologists begin gathering herd
composition information immedi
ately after the hunting seasons
are over when they make a sys
tematic survey of all big-game
ranges.
AU animals observed are classi
fied as to sex and age and ex
pressed in a ratio of the number
of bucks or bulls, fawns or calves
per 100 adult females.
Must Beat Antler Loss
Herd composition must be com
pleted before buck deer or bull
elk lose their antlers.
By mid-January herd composi
tion op deer is no longer feasible
as bucks rapidly shed their
beams, and by early February
there is little resemblance to the
proud animals nimrods observed
during the hunting seasons.
Elk often retain their antlers as
late as mid-March.
Surveys are made by auto, foot,
horseback and on some ranges by
airplane.
Almost without exception sur
veys on antelope are made from
the air, preferably when snow is
on the ground.

Elgin 46,
Oscar 42
By United Press International
Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor
and Oscar Robertson combined to
score a 144 points Monday night
in their furious race for the Na
tional Basketball Association scor
ing championship.
Chamberlain broke his own single-game
record for the Conven
tion Hall in Philadelphia when he
scored 56 points in leading the
Warriors to a 131-115 victory over
the New York Knickerbockers.
In the opening game of that
double - header, Baylor tallied 4l
points, although he was on the
bench with five personal fouls
when the Los Angeles Lakers
staged the rally that beat the De
troit Pistons, 123-113.
Free Throws Win
And Robertson topped off a 42
point performance by sinking a
pair of free throws with 28 sec
onds left to play, giving the Cin
cinnati Royals a 126-125 triumph
over the Syracuse Nationals at
Utica, N Y.
At Philadelphia, the Warriors
wasted away a 23-point lead and
allowed the Knicks to pull even
at 85-85 before Chamberlain and
Andy Johnson sparked a last-period
spurt that sent New York
down to its fourth straight defeat.
By winning the Warriors pulled
to w ithin ' one game of the idle
first-place Boston Celtics,
Lakers Catch Fire :
Detroit led Los Angeles. 86-R2. j
when Baylor picked up his fifth
personal foul and was removed
from the game. But in his ab-1
sence, Frank Selvy. Ray Felix,
Tom Hawkins and Rod Hundley i
carried Los Angeles to a 111-97 1
lead. By the time Baylor returned i
the game was broken open. j
Syracuse battled back from 13
point leads twice against Cincin
nati, moving ahead. 115-110, with I
5:27 left to play. Robertson then
scored five straight points to Jiej
the game. After four more dead- j
locks, Hal Greer put Syracuse
ahead with 40 seconds left, only
bunched on the winter ranges,
and tlie short sage country in
whiclj the animals live makes
aerial observation quick, easy and
accurate.
Deer Counted Via Horseback
Some elk herds are also census
cd by airplane, while deer ranges
are primarily traveled by horse
back. Contrary to the fall hunting sea
sons enjoyed by Oregon sports
men, the winter months might
aptly be called the hunting season
for game agents where in cold
and snow they hunt out the big
game animals, watch them as
they go through the winter, study
their food supplies, keep a criti
cal eye on herd condition and re
cord mortality, sex, age, and the
number of animals observed on
each range.
Herd composition doesn't com
plete the winter surveys and about
the first of February game agents
start all over again, this time to
census animal numbers on each
big-game winter range. Observa
tion continues until the herds dis
band with the spring breakup.
The annual census is more or
less confined to the winter ranges
at lower altitudes.
Snows Force Animals Down
In late winter snows are deep in
the mountain ranges, forcing big
game animals ever downward to
the breaks and scablands near the
valley floors with heaviest con
centration of animals found in the
food producing areas within the
belt.
This is the critical time of year
and the time which game agents
dread the most. For if the winter
is long and severe, they will wit
ness first hand many animals dy
ing of cold and hunger.
There is little to worry about
during mild winters, but hunger
alone is the driving force when
snow piles deep or temperatures
drop to sub-zero levels.
The winter range produces lim
ited food supplies to begin with,
and when much of it is buried
beneath deep snow, competition is
keen for the meager supplies that
remain.
Danger is forgotten, senses dull
ed except for the gnawing urge
for food.
Under such conditions many an
imals may starve before spring,
with fawns Die first to go follow
ed by old animals and yearlings.
Permanent Routes Set Up
Permanent sample routes are
established on all big-game winter
ranges.
These routes are traveled sys
tematically. All animals observed
are recorded and expressed in the
ratio of animals observed per mile
ol travel. Mortality is also re
corded. Records on all ranges are kept
from year to year and compari
sons made to determine if the
herds are increasing, decreasing
or remaining constant.
Some 7,000 miles of sample
route are travelled each year by
game agents.
The winter surveys give an ac
curate picture of population
trends, numbers of buck deer or
bull elk in each herd, fawn or calf
production, mortalities, range con
dition and food supplies.

Pacific Telephone Northwest
has programmed a' $23.9 million
outlay to expand and improve
telephone service in Oregon dur

pany's vice president and general
manager has announced.
"This expenditure of almost $24
million is certainly the best evi
dence of our belief in the essen
tial soundness of Oregon's econ
omy and in the future growth
prospects of the state," Mitchell
said.
Reporting on I960, Mitchell said
the number of telephones served
by his company in the state in
creased hy 22,942 to a total of
576,169. Tlie number of long dis
tance calls went up about 6.6 per
cent during tlie year, he added.
In Bend 184 phones were added
to the total In service during the
year, according to Manager G. E.
Wiley. There are now 6,348 phones
in the Bend exchange.
Looking head, Mitchell listed
bringing direct distance dialing to
some 160,000 Portland phones with
ATIantic, CApitol and BElmont in
May, 1961 as one of the Com
pany's biggest projects during the
coming year. DDD will be ex

Still visible in the evening sky
as the new year starts is earth-

Planets will be top attractions
in the year, with Venus now rul

westward to become a great red
evening star in the constellation
Gemini. Mars and tlie bright star
Pollux will be in a special eve

On June 27, Mars will be just

Rcgulus in Leo. .
Jupiter is in tlie role of morn
ing star as tlie year starts, but in
lale July, it will become an eve

alignment of planets in its cruise
around the sun.
Saturn will be a morning planet
for the first half of the year and
will be in the evening sky the last
half. Throughout the year, the
moon, moving eastward, will sa
lute Jupiter and Saturn monthly,
passing just north of those plan
ets.
There will be a total and an
annular eclipse of the sun in 1960,
but they will not be visible in tlie
Oregon country. The beginning of
a partial eclipse of tlie sun on
March 22 will be visible in west
