We invite any or all members of the Citizens' Committee to inspect the Cates Elementary School which, as school build ings are rated, is rather a new building. It now houses seventy- five students and could accomo date another seventy-five very easily. We offer these suggestions mainly tiecause of the unfortun ate prospect of complete unifi cation which will be forced upon ,us by the new legislature which will convene in January Also, the Gates District pays 307. of the total taxes in this area, so we can see no reason why with unification becoming a fact within two or three years that |he present Mill City Element 1962 ary school building bonding Jevy should not tie delayed until to the lloly night a unified taxing program could be levied against all taxable when the angels sang; property in the Mill City-Gates glory to this Holy day. attendance area.

I wrote in to the experts for tholr opinion, if you feel that this information might be helpful to others, [>er- haps you could include it In your n<-ws|>upcr some time Sincerely, G. E. DAVIDSON STATE OF OREGON Oregon State Game Commission Portland, Oregon Mr. G. E. Davidson Mill City. Oregon Ix-ar Mr. Davidson: ■Die swelling of a buck s neck during late fall is a breeding characteristic common in the deer family. We don t know ex actly why it occurs except that it is a phenomena among the male sex during the mating season. Almost without exception, aU wild animals acquire or per forin some type of breeding ceremony. Almost always the characteristic is acquired by the male of the species. Some ot the most fantastic are in the bird family including the dance of the sandhill crane, drumm ing of the ruffed grouse, and the almost fantastic strutting ot the sage grouse. Here in Oregon it has been customary to hold the deer sea son prior to the general mating period. A few late season con trolled hunts may overlap tne breeding period at which time the buck's neck may be swollen from the rut. 1 have never tak en a buck deer in the rut in Oregon but as a boy in Minne sota and young man in Idaho, 1 have killed many buck deer during the breeding season. Out of all these deer, I have found only one which I consid ered to be strong and I think this was partly just the nature of the critter plus my own ig norance at the time in not tak ing care ot the animal properly at the time of the kill. As you probably know, many states including Idaho, Montana, and many of the Midwest states hold their deer seasons in Novemb er which is normally the peak of the rutting period. To my knowledge there has never been any adverse criticism from -hunters in these states as to the poor quality of the meat. Sincerely yours, P. W SCHNEIDER.
