Tule lake greatest public
shooting ground la the west is
fairly swarming with ducks and
geese, particularly ducks, who
have stopped off for several
week on their northward flight.
The birds are early this year.
I'sually they pass through Klam
ath on their return trip to north
ern and cooler climes later la the
month.
There are sprigs and spoon
bilU or, aa they are sometimes
called. shovlers, by the tens of
thousands.. Widgeons were not
numerous nor mallards.
White geese predominated
among the various species of
geese in the big basin. Great
flocks of the pure white birds
have congregated In the 90,000
acre basin and are feeding on
grain fields and marshes.
Soon warmer weather will send
the ducks and geese winging
their way farther north. Their
next stop aside from a few over
night rests will, in all likeli
hood be in northern Canada and !
Alaska.

COLLEGE COACH
"Both entertaining and 'Instruc
tive" was the general expression
by Chamber of Commerce mem'
bers Wednesday after hearing the
able talk of Coach Paul J. Schla
sler ot Oregon State Agricultural
college, who .is here conferring
with alumni of that Institution. -
The coach, was very plain In
his remarks. ' He Insisted that
capital crimes, by youths are' not
committed by boys who have bad
physical training at college. He
believes that- had Hickiran, "the
Fox," taken the bumps of foot
ball and other sports, he would
today be a decent chap with no
crime record.
"We are llvini In a softening
age," said the speaker. "Every
invention and every appliance
tends to lessen the hardship of
living, hence the boys and girls
need physical education to harden
their muscles and keep up their
morale as well as protect their
morals."
' Tho speaker described several
games of football giving details
of phases ot youthful honor and
to what extremes of suffering
boya will go to win for their
school. . .
Tom Deliell acted as ehalrmna
of the Fornm luncheon. The
Klwanls quartette, after an ab
sence from the public eye for a
couple ot months, came hack
stronger than they ever were.
