Steps Taken to Control
Costly Attacks of
Marauders.
By MARGARET KAUGE
Total loss to Klamath county's
livestock Industry from predatory
animals during the past season
was estimated at more than
$125,000 at an all-day meeting
of representative sheep operators
of the area held Saturday in the
civil service room at the federal
building. Predatory animal loss
on sheep alone was set at $96,000,
In addition to considerable losses
of calves, chickens, turkeys and
other domestic animals.
The meeting was also attended
by a representative ot the Klam
ath Sportsmen's -association and
the chairman of the wild life
committee ot the American Le
gion. Game Losses Reported
Losses on wild game reported
by these committee members in
dicated that over 50 per cent of
all fawns born in Klamath coun
ty during the past year were
killed by predatory animals.
It was also brought out that
in one of the largest duck nest
ing grounds to be found in the
western United States, namely,
50, 000 to 60,000 acres of marsh
land surrounding the Upper
Klamath lake, virtually no ducks
were reared to flying age this
year due to the ravages of
predatory animals.
As the waters of the lake re
ceded Innumerable coyotes pa
trolled the shore lines, bresking
up nests and killing the young
ducklings, as well as many of
the old birds.
Loss from predatory animals
In this district has been esti
mated at nearly 100 per cent, it
was stated Saturday, while the
loss in all marsh lands adjoin
ing the Upper lake is estimated
to be from 70 to 75 per cent.
These figures Indicate, according
to experts, that from 100,000 to
200,000 young ducks had been
killed In a single season in this
area by predatory animals.

Hearing ' in Tom Mooiiey
Case Resumes Today
in Portland.
PORTLAND, " Ore.. Oct. 21.
(AP) Testimony that his repu
tation for truth and veracity was
"bad" was given today by two
men who knew the late Frank
C. Oxman, principal prosecution
witness against Tom Mooney In
the San Francisco Preparedness
day bombing case.
A father and his son answered
with the one word "bad," when
the question ot Oxman's reputa
tion was put to them In a con
tinuation of the Mooney habeas
corpus hearing.
They were Frederick L. Shaw,
71, Durkee, Ore., cattleman, and
Leonard A. Shaw, 31, dairyman of
that region. Oxman was tor
many years a stockraiser in the
Durkee district.
George T. Davis of San Fran
cisco, one ot counsel for Mooney,
asked each witness: "What was
Oxman's reputation for truth and
veracity?" Each time. Referee A.
E. Shaw ot San Francisco ad
vised the witness "there is only
one answer to make good' or
bad." And In both Instances the
one-word reply was given "bad."
The testimony of another wit
ness, James A. Tate, 76, of Dur
kee, met with the strenuous ob
jection of Emory Mitchell, assist
ant attorney general, represent
ing the state ot California. Ref
eree Shaw ruled, while sustaining
the objection, that the testimony
be taken subject to a ruling by
the California courts as to ulti
mate use ot the statements.
Tate's testimony concerned
Frank V. Woods, of Portland,
who was a railroad agent in Dur
kee at the time Oxman lived
there. He said Woods told him
shortly after the San Francisco
bombing: "I have a man who
saw the Mooney bombing and he
wants me to tip him off to the
authorities to-.- SI, 000." Tate said
he told Woods to "let it alone;
it's blood money." Again, he
said, when he learned that Ox-

reconvene tomorrow morning,
. thus eliminating the possibility
. of hearing the governor's nil.
dress today. Before adjonrn
meut the senate completed, its
organization.
The house of represeatathres
was awaiting the report of Its
credentials, committee on we
contested seats.
SALEM. Oct. 21, t After
the senate and house had as
sembled in a joint informal ses
sion and tha galleries were filled
with spectators to hear the gov
ernor's address, an attorney gen
eral's opinion halted what would
have been an unprecedented pro
cedure. , '
The governor's address was to
have been given unofficially be--fore
the house completed organi
zation, but Attorney General I.
H. Van Winkle ruled -that the
assembly was not official until
both bodies htd organized, and
that therefore the governor could
not officially give his address.
The message will be delayed
until the house of representatives
organizes. The contest over two
seats in the lower house will
probably delay the organization
until far into the afternoon. It
could not be stated when the
leislature would be ready to hear
the governor's message.
