Muskraf Trapping Brings Revenue into Klamath Large Ily JOY KVANH Trapping, which has boon mora or luaa doaulloiy In Klam ath county tho past fow yonrs, leaped forward this past winter to dovolop Into amnll but thriv ing Indualry that brought tbou snnda of dollnra Into Klamath, duo to tho pravaleuco ot musk rata. Homo Intoreallng data and flg urca on rut' trapping waa ob tained from Lnwrvnco A, "Dud" Itolph of ltocky I'olnt, who baa trapped In the north and on the Oregon coast for nearly 20 years, covering both high and low country. Itolph waa re cently tho recipient of one of the dally award prlr.ee from Hears, Itoahuck and company for ono of tho most correctly prepared fur pelte which will be entered for the grand prltoa at Honrs' fifth national fur abow at Chicago. Katlmnlo 80,000 After a chock by Itolph ot fur buyera, tho gumo department ot tho atate pollco and other 'trap pera, an ontlniatlon of 80,000 rata tnkon In Klamath during the season waa coualdered a coo aervntlva figure. The average price received on belle waa 76 centa, tluctuntlng from 25 conta whon trapping commenced early In tho fall to 90 centa at tho height ot tbo sonnon whon polla were In tholr prime. Ovor 20, 000 polls wore purchasod by huj'ors In Klamath Knlls and heavy ahlpmonta wore sent out by trappora to other marketa. It la estimated that approxi mately (25,000 waa brought Into Klamath by this Industry over a six months' period. ' Aids Mnny Fnmlllra Due to the fact that little equipment or preparation Is ncc OKxary for thin type of trapping, numerous families who would havo had to go on roller from lack of work In othor flolda were ablo to make a living. Even farmers throughout the valley earned extra dollnra to help pay tholr taxoa by trapping tha rata that had ponotrntod the labyrinth of Irrigation canals, laterals and even ewampy corners of fields. Kscnpe of rata sovornl yonrs ago from fur farms In this dis trict to Klamath, lako whore tlioy rapidly lncronsod In numbora and traveled to othor points through various watorwnya waa tho start of this industry thnt reached Its climax from a fi nancial standpoint In 1933 and 1934, dosplta tho fact that the trapping sonnon was shorlenod nearly six weeks by a mild wlu lor. Good HrciylliiK Stock ' Good brooding ntock which primarily had boon shipped in from the north, climatic condi tions similar to Alaska, the high altltudo nnd an nuundnnce ot mnrsh and tulo land enabled the inunkrata to rotnltr the points which niako tholr pelts In do- mnnd on tho fur ninrkot. Tho littlo anlnmls aro easily caught In smnll traps thnt cnu be ptir cbasad for a nominal sum, and only the labor ot covering tha trap-lino dally nnd proparlng tho polls Is required. Itolph mi Ul thnt It Is common ly bollovod muskrntB multiply fnst, raising four or flva llttors a year, whereas, through knowl edgo ho has boon able to ob tain, they usually linve but two llttors a yenr unions thore Is an oxooptlonnlly long season of warm weather, suck as this will probably bo, then they some times r.ilso throo. It was Inter esting to nota that tho rats did not commonco building tholr wlntor food hotisoa among the tulea until almost November last your, whereas their usual custom Is to mnko wlntor prepa rations niucii onriior. Hwniups I'rHllo Tho big swamps and marshes bordering Klumatli lake wore probably tbo most tortile trap ping territory, and It was re ported that thousnnds were taken on tho California Oregon Powor company ranch thnt cov ars a vast ncrongo on the east sldo ot tho Inka, Thore was also much trapping on the Klnm nth rlvor, practically all canals and In tho- 111k Mnrsh In the northovn part ot tho county. Mnny are of . tha opinion thnt rnts should bo proteotod nnd trapping; ot Uicm nllowod only during the regular open Boason from January to April whllo others bollove that they are a monnco, tunneling into dlhon nnd ditch banks.

The Oregon law on muskrats ipoclflua the open aoason from January 1 to April 16 Inclusive, each year, but through a apoclnl act ot the loglsluturo two enrs ago It waa inudo luwful for own ers of land or his employes to kill muskrats without a humor's or trapir'a license for protec tion of dikes. Hut tills will be unlawful aftor January 1, 1936, according to law.

TO NORTHWEST Accompanied by the ceaseless rythm ot booming drums, and atnged In the plcturesquo aettlng of tho old Oregon Trail, "Distant Drums" Is well on the road to' completion. This Is the nowest play to be prosonted by j.ho Little Theater guild. The play will be given at the Pelican theater, May 2, which will marK Its first appearance as an amateur production In the Pa cific northwest. Its original open ing occurred In )932 when It was presented by Outhrlo McCllntlc In Washington, D. C, with Miss Paulino Lord carrying the lead ing rolo. This fact, as woll as the con struction of tho play Itself lends significance to tho typical west ern character of the vohlcla. Miss Lord, who was born In Ban Fran cisco, la rolatod to William Paine Lord, pionocr and one-time gover nor of Oregon. Action of tho drama Is built around the travellers In a wagon train en routo to Oregon In the 1850's, and the Guild Is care fully scouring Klamath and Jack son counties for authentic relics to bo used as props and for cos tuming purposes. Some ot these relics will be borrowed from a collection at Jacksonville, and others from Captain O. C. Apple en to, well-known local pioneer.
