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. Tho suggns
tlmf was mndo thnt tho Industry
ho allowed to tbrlvo and boenmo
permanent by Introducing munk
rats Into the Lower Klamath
lake aroa It It la rotloodod tor
a bird rofugo. .
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.

WASHINGTON, April ft, (p)
The Reconstruction Finance
corporation today approved loans
to assist In refinancing 12 drain

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.
