Coming From
Muskrat Trap
TULELAKE, Mar: 1 The
muskrat season, ending with the
last day in February, was less
lucrative than for several sea
sons past, both in the number of
animals trapped and in financial
returns.
While the 14 trappers who
had water grants on the lake
each trapped his quota of 650
rats, tho sudden slump In the
fur market early in the season
knocked the bottom out of the
trapping business. Quality furs
brought $2 or better per pelt
tins vear averaged around f 1.45.
Half of each trapper's "take"
goes to the government for the
privilege of trapping the water
area. Government furs will be
sold, probably In April, at auc
tion. These furs have been
shipped to the Seattle fur ex
change. Trappers have sold in
dividually this year to a number
of buyers in here at the peak of
the trapping season.
A total of 10,000 skins were
trapped.
Quality of the skins was good
this season and the year was a
good one for trappers with an
open winter favorable to the
business.
, Officials of the fish and wild
life service here state that rat
numbers are decreasing with the
decrease in the water area of the
lake. Trapping is limited also to
preserve enough animals to con
trol marine vegetation in the
lake. ' ,
195,000 Trout

: PORTLAND, Mar 1. P) One
hundred thousand rainbow trout

in waters of Hood River, Union,
Umatilla, Gilliam and Morrow
counties.
Earlier this month 180.000 cut
throat trout -were released in
coastal waters.
The commission said the total
fish available for spring release
was 2,000,000.

Eugene will be determined next
Tuesday and Wednesday when
Klamath and Medfora wina up
with a two-contest series.
Outside the victories for the
two pennant-chasing squads,
there is one other interesting
Item on the district basketball
scene to report. Central Point,
winners of only two games this
season, will not be in the league
next season.
The Point athletic directors
have decided that Central Point
Was out of its class, what with
the enrollment there being less
than 150, and will pull out.
Should the enrollment of the
school jump over the 150 mark
next year the Pointers still will
not play in district 4, but will
play .off with the district cham
pion if their chances look prom
ising enough.
Last night at Grants Pass
the Pelicans skidded to three
points behind (2-5) after about
minute and a halt of play,
but Jerry Thorn potted a
couple of quickies to put the
K-men In the lead. The Cave
men never threatened much
after that although they
staged a beautiful four-period
splurge for 21 points.
But going' into the fourth
quarter Grants Pass was 17
points behind and the Pelicans
managed to pick up 18 markers
during the final rush.
Jack Orr, captain of the
Cavemen, single-handedly out
classed the entire cast for the
night. Sliding in, ringers from
almost anywhere on the floor,
he totaled 22 points. Orr had
fouled out In the third period
of Thursday's game, but last
night he didn't make a single
miscue.
LeRoy Coleman, floor leader
for the Pels, rang up 16 points,
Clarence Bussman had 13 and
Gene Hover 12. Forty-one fouls
were called during the game.
Girls' Team

One local Women of the
Moose bowling team brought
back a title from the statewide
Moose bowling tourney held in
Eugene February 15-16, and
several other girls finished in

Returns of the men's kegllng

F o u r men's teams and two
women's squads entered the
rolling.
The team placing first was

' Lotteries are Illegal in Cali

Special Agent Joe McClelland

Walter R. Doyle, 46: Durward
McCord, 30, member of the state

lottery venture, and other
leaders in the plan.
The lottery tickets promised
$100,000 to the holder of the

Washington's Mystery Fish,
Absent In Summer, Live In
Depths Of Ice Coated Lakes
LAKE PALMER, Wash., Mar.
1- (NEA Living in deep seclu
sion in six different lakes in the
state of Washington is a specie
of white-meated fish called ling.
In summer, when lakes are
open and sportsmen are out In
full battle gear for trout and
better-known species, ling are
seldom chanced upon.
They have way of keeping
to themselves In dark, myste
rious levels, much deeper than
those used by game fish.
Ling prowl the cavernous bot
tom recesses of Lakes Cle Elum,
Katchcss, Keechelus, Chelan,
Osoyoos and Palmer.
In winter time, when Ice cov
ers these lava-bound lakes, the
ling travel closer to the surface.
The technique of the hunt for
ling Is simple, but productive.
At not too frequent intervals
holes are chopped through the
ice and marked by slender sticks,
anchored at the openings. Each
day the set lines are baited with
meat or small fish and lowered.
Sometimes a thousand feet of
line are floated out. sometimes a
few hundred. They are baited at
intervals. Here at Lake Palmer,
where the ling have been taken
weighing as much as 3 pounds,
short lines seem to do the trick.
Although they are commonly
called "ling cod." Washington's
ling are not true cod. Their
flavor, however, la similar to
that of the cod.
Little Is known about the ting.
They seem to do very little dam
age to game fish, although they
must eat smaller fish, since they
are taken by such baits.
There are several theories
about their beginning. One of
the most likely is they have in
habited these waters since ..the
lakes wore a part of running
waterways which had access to1
