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.

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.
