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.
