FRID A Y , MAY 21, 1937. School Board Contemplates No Tax Rise No change in Hood River county's school tax structure is contemplated in plans for a $27,400 bond issue, to be voted on Tuesday, June 1, accord ing to L. B. Gibson, county unit su perintendent. “While it’s impossible to forecast the future accurately, we will clean up the bond issue without resorting to any tax increases if the next three or four years prove as prosperous as the past couple of years,’’ he said. In addition to the bond issue, the board tentatively plans to use about $16,000 of current funds within the next five years to finance building operations, making a total of about $43,000 available for building pur poses. If made necessary by unex pected stringencies, the $16,000 could be dispensed with, still leaving the bond issue in the clear w ithout any additional taxation. By m aking the bond issue small and limiting payment to five years, the county board hopes to meet pres ent needs without taking any chances on long-range economic fluctuations. The bond election was originally set Saturday, May 29, but was shifted last week to Tuesday, June 1.

MAY 17-22 “The Sooner You Plan Your Future the Better Your Future Will Be” MINNESOTA TREE TROOPERS CONTACT MOUNTAIN GOATS CCC tree troopers from Minnesota will carry back to their home state vivid memories of the W est which in a recent instance proved both “wild and wooly” , according to Forest R an ger Cooper of the Chelan national forest, W ashington. The forest service launch was bringing CCC boys back from work down Lake Chelan recently when a number of mountain goats were sigh ted on the cliffs above the lake. A mother goat and her kid were spied in a particularly narrow canyon just above the w ater and three tree troop ers jumped ashore to head off these animals before they escaped up the canyon. The goats, seeing they were effectively “bottled” , jumped onto a narrow ledge just above the boat and the boys took some fine close- up pictures. A s they “put-putted” toward camp the crew wondered how the goats would get off that ledge and decided to have a look on their uptrip. The goats were still there, but as the boat approached the kid jumped in to the lake and swam to safety. The m other held her ground and in de ciding to rope her and set her ashore the boat crew foresaw trouble with the sharp-horned and powerful ani mal. At any rate, the goat slipped and came bouncing onto the deck. Finally over-powered and safely landed she disappeared with her kid, thoroughly disgusted with hum an contacts. Mountain goats are protected in W ashington and are being studied by the forest service and State game authorities with an eye to their perpe tuation. They are believed to be on the increase in the national forests, particularly in the Lake Chelan dis trict.
