THE WILD DUCK MALADY
It is regrettable, indeed, that the strange malady
which is killing ducks and other wild fowl by the thous
ands in the Tule lake marshes, should rob Klamath
sportsmen, temporarily, at least, of their favorite fall
pastime.
But the health authorities are to be commended for
the prompt action taken in warning citizens against
eating the fowl until state health authorities have de
termined definitely the ailment which is causing the
devastating epidemic. There is a suspicion that it is
a form of the dread botulinus poisoning, and if this
diagnosis should prove correct, the promptness and
courage of health authorities in issuing the warning will
have been the means of saving many lives.
Klamath county and Tule lake have long been known
as the sportman's paradise, and the fatal malady which
is now sweeping through the lower marshes below the
California line will tend to destroy the prestige vjhich
this section has held for so many years.
It is to be hoped that a further analysis will indicate
that there is no danger of human poisoning from eating
the wild fowl, but even at best the ducks will not be in
the same demand this year as in former seasons.
THE SCHOOLBOOK OUTRAGE
One little mother complained at paying eleven dol
lars for books this year so she could send her little
sixth grade boy to school.
g She had to buy one book that she bought last year
for fifty-six cents and it cost her exactly a dollar and
twelve cents, so she said.
Think of a family of working people who have to
buy books for six or eight children, and there are many
such cases of large families.
In Portland and many other cities in the state col
lections are taken up to buy and supply children of
poor families with school books.
It seems the entire school machine in Oregon is built
up to wring as many dollars as possible out of the peo
ple who send children to school. Yet we are boasting
we have the most perfect educational system in the
United States.
