The discovery was made by J. D. Howard, of Klamath Falls, and a companion while they were on a trip to explore Big Glass mountain. The vent, two foet in diameter, is in an area of loose pumice stone. The small crater has been wormed by pumice rolling down into the hole._______ The Patchogue Advance, from the writer’s old stamping ground on Long -Island, comes forward with a nature story telling how a baby deer, a petted member of the H.

In making public the figures the forest service stresses the fact that these figues are only estimate«, made, however, by the men on the ground who should have the best op portunity of knowing local game con ditions. According to tM statement there are about 59,000 head of deer in the fourteen national forests of Oregon, and over 22,500 in the eight national forests of Washington; a total of ap proximately 81,500 for the two states. Elk rank second with over 12,000 head, 8,500 being credited to the na tional forests of Washington and 3,- 500 to the national forests of Oregon. Next come black bear, with 5,600 for Oregon and 5.700 for Washington, or a total of 11,300 for the national forests of the two states. The re port ¿hows 2,000 mountain goats in Washington, but none in Oregon. Some 80 mountain sheep are listed about equally divided between the two states. About 30 antelope are given for Oregon; while 50 caribou and 15 grizzly bear are reported on the na tional forests of- Washington. These figures relate only to the national forest areas of some 25 million aeree in the two states. VALLET SENTINEL, COQUIL'LB. OREGON. FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1926. EAST FORK NOTES R Al!?
