TO THE EDITOR It has been reported from a re- | liable source that one of our citi- zens, whose parents reside in the Columbia neighborhood, recently shot one of our few remaining trumpeting swans with a rifle and after destroying the evidence by burning the head, feet and feath ers, the two families cooked and consumed the bird. The offender probably could not be convicted since any person capable of such atrocity could be depended upon to deny the deed. It is but a few short years since the swan was all but extinct and it was feared this beautiful bird could not be saved to posterity. Even now a few dozen such shots could place the swan in the class with the dod and the wild pigeon of North America. Millions of our law abiding citizens have passed up opportunities to take the life of the swan. There are few who will not feel the deepest resentment to ward the slinking culprit. It has been reported that this citizen is planning to leave Oregon in the near future, and many feel that the loss will be less than nega tive. It is our ambition to protect our boys and girls from such rep- rehensible example. —A Columbia Resident.
