FDR MUSKRATS
. TULELAKE With only fifty
per cent of the annual normal
muskrat catch in the hands of
local trappers due to the long
cold winter and Ice accumulation
on the lake an extension of the
trapping period is asked by the
Northern California Trappers as
sociation. The request, forward
ed to the California fish and
game department is favored also
by the Tulelake-Butte Valley
Sportsmen's association and the
bureau of reclamation.
' The IS day extension will re
duce the muskrat population
here sufficiently to prevent ex
tensive damage to drains and ir
rigation ditches during the next
few months.
Rats at the present time ac
cording to Bernard C. Schultz,
president of the Trapper's as
sociation, are leaving water
areas and are traveling overland
to new locations and unless
trapped will scatter to all parts
of the basin in larger numbers
than ever before. The animals
are more numerous than in other
years and unless more are taken
a new crop of young will boost
the population to a new high
before another trapping season.
Early indications were that 36
trappers operating on the lake
could take 1000 rats each, but
with the continuing cold weath
er ths number of those who kept
trap lines open dropped, to 12.
With the return of better weath
er the take was raised to 2000
and the number of trappers has
increased slightly. Only trap
per to take his quota of 2000
was Lester Pring, Tulelake.
Prices according to Schultz
who returned Friday from Port
land and Seattle are excellent
Prime skins bring $2.00 each.
Quality of the fur taken this
year is also first class and the
market is holding steady. No
large surpluses are evident.
Quality of furs taken until
April 1 would not be effected
by the lateness of the season.
r Fifty per cent of the local
catch is taken by the federal
government in return for trap
ping privileges and furs taken
here this season have as yet not
been marketed by the govern
ment according to reports. Too
few rats have been taken to date
to warrant an auction and trap
pers are selling individually.
Present officers of the Trap
pers' association will be held
over until the war has been won.
Schultz stated.

INVESTIGATION OF

"'' WASHINGTON, March 8 UP)
Rep. Harness (R-Ind.) asked the
rules committee today for clear
ance on his resolution calling

tion of circumstances surround
ing the government's suit against

Harness wrote Chairman Sa-
bath (D-Ill.) of the rules com
mittee that circumstances in the
action "so directly touched the
constitutional guarantee of a
free press that they should quite
properly" be investigated im
mediately. The government suit, charg
ing that the Associated Press
was a monopoly, sought an or
der directing it to open member
ship rolls to any newspaper will
ing to pay its proportionate share
of the cost of gathering news. '.'
The Associated Press, non
profit cooperative news-gathering
organization, asserted in its
answer that "a free press re
quires that newspapers shall be
free to collect and distribute
news . , . and that they shall be
free to choose their associates
in so doing."
