Do It Every Time By Jimmy Hatlo BT BILL JENKINS A handful of government releases concerning wildlife and the out doors In general are on our desk this morning. They've been there for a week or so, in fact. In glanc ing over them we glean the fol- . tniL-inv information: At least a portion of the 10.000 rhukar cartridges releasee, lasi summer have survived the winter. The chukar is a hardy bird and last winter was a fairly mild one, although rougher on the bird life than the game. Closest of the birds for us are those spotted in the Warner Valley and handful of em along the Deschutes. Maybe the day will come when we can have an open season with plenty nf hirds We also learn that the highest spring pheasant population sura 1M7 ha been revealed in the Mal heur inventory. This is good. There are a lot of the big handsome birds in Klamath county, too. Been feeding a pair of toem in me uses lawn all winter. Got the old rooster tame enough now that he merely walks oft when you come out of the house Instead of taking off like a jet plana like he used to do. Over 1000 adult' hens were re leased In the various state game farms (his March to provide addi tional nesters for the coming sea son. . Another dispatch tells us that Douglas McKay, one-time gover nor of Oregon and now secretary of the interior, has created his first federal wildlife refuge. Down in Virginia. I think Doug is on the side of the sportsman. Still another dispatch informs us that McKay has lifted the ban on; foreign made souvenirs lor sale. in the national parks of the na tion. Now you can go in and buy up all those little baubles from Japan again. Hoorayl But I don't know what for. And still another brochure and herein lies a lot of meat tells us that the annual waterfowl breeding ground surveys are set to do their bit. Aerial and ground surveys will be made by the US, Alaska and Canada in an effort to forecast the fall crop of quackers. Let's hone it'll be a good one.

CLARK prefesaor Emeritn of History, C University of Oregon Today'i QMStion: What Was the Nature ef the Coastal Trade of the Badsea's Bay Cempany? Both the London authorities of the Hudson's Bay and Governor George Simpson placed great im portance on the development or the coastal trade and the elimination of American competition. John McLoughlln's letters also show con aunt concern for the performance of his duties In this regard. There were two methods of con ducting the coastal trade. One was by means of ships, most of which at first were small, although larger vessels were later provided. Un fortunately many of the ship cap tains were Inefficient and some were drunkards. The "William and Ann, loaded with supplies from London, was wrecked at the mouth ox me imumoia. in roof ana iu crew and cargo were lost. The fol lowing year another ship, the "Isa- bella1'. was also wrecked in at tempting to enter the Columbia, but most of her crew and cargo were saved. In the course of years six or eight 'fairly large ships sailed up and down the coast from the mouth of the Columbia, oi served aa supply ships plying be tween Fort Vancouver and London, .. The other method of conducting the coastal trade was by means of trading posts or forts along the coast. The first of these was Fort Langley, built in 1621 on the south side of the Fraser River near its mouth. In 1839 this post was be coming dilapidated and its location was Inconvenient, and so a new tort was erected a few miles fur ther up the river. The following year the new fort was destroyed by fire, but re-buildlng began al most Immediately, and thereafter Fort Langley was an Important link in the company's fur trade network. Other trading posts furth er up the coast were Fort Simp son on the Nass River, Fort Mc Loughlln on Milbanke Sound. Fort Durham on land leased from the Russian-American Company, Fort Stikine on the present site of Wrangell. Alaska, and Fort Nts qually at the southern end of tort was especially well situated on quiet waters ana was rainy ac cessible to Fort Vancouver, over, land.

WASHINGTON W Tall, bald, 53, and with en untimid chin, Leo nard W. Hall Is the Republican version of Jim Farley: a big glad When everybody was mad ' at almost everybody else in the Re publican convention last, July, Hail paraded contentedly behind an oversized button which said: "I like everybody " This is an attitude whose dura- bility should be lavishly tested in the next two years, it paia am dends last week when all factions of the GOP conducted an appar ently peaceful election of Hall as chairman of their national commit tee. , The poetic license be employed at the moment of his election 'We must man the dikes lor Ike In '64" was intended to show from the start that his eyes were on the ball, his feet on the ground, and his heart in the right place. In this case the ball is the 1954 congressional election which the Republicans acne to win. The mar gin of their present majority could hardly be slimmer: a majority of one In the 96-man Senate and sev en out of 435 House members. Hall will be chief oiler of the party machinery. Besides raising funds and trying to get government jobs for Republicans who have been waiting 20 years lor mem. be must deal with, inspire, lead. advise and pacify, not only other members of the national commit tee 146 in all but Republican governors, mayors, various local big shots and Republican groups. Since the national committee made up of men and women cho sen by Republicans back home In all the states and territories usu ally meets no more than twice a year. Hall will have to depend day by day on the help of perhaps 150 paid staff workers in the commit tee's six-story headquarters here. Staff work ranges from research and sending speakers to Republi can dinners and doings around the U. S. to publicity which blows the horn for republican accomplish ment, tries to win friends and to give the Democrats miseries. - The research staff, for instance, is still busy analysing the l&tf election results showing wiiy Re publicans won or lost where they did. This Information is for the help of Republican politicians In general and stale committee chair men in particular. A special committee helps Hall raise party funds and. In a sep arate building. Hall will have a staff filling and trying to fill the job applications from' Republicans everywhere ' who think It's only right they should get a government Job. Hall Is a political pro. He served seven terms in the House and has just given up a $25,000 a year Job aa a New York surrogate Judge of- wills to take over the chair manship for which his predeces sor. C. Wesley Roberts, got 132,500. Hall says he'll practice law on the side, he says, but not in govern ment cases. Since President Elsenhower, the nominal head of the party, will spend most of h's time running the government. Hall will have to run the committee and the party organisation. All his efforts will be for nothing, of course. If the El senhower administration has failed to Impress the customers by next election day. Jim Farley, who has become a kind of political legend as a witard when he was chairman of the Dem ocratic National Committee under President Roosevelt, might have bad a quick and sad end If Roose velt had been unable to convince the voters that he had what they wanted. SAM DAWSON Church Choir Festival Set At a meeting held Thursday, April 9. at the home of Mrs. Charles Bedord, president of the Klamath Musical Arls Council, Initial plans were laid for the annual church choir festival, to be held here on May 10. Chairman for this year's festival is Mr. Carl Hngel, and members of his committee are Rev. Galen Onstad, Mr. Ralph Wicsc. Mr. Andrew Lonev. Jr.. Mrs. William Simon, Mrs. Charles Bedord. and Mrs. Ollbert W. Fleet. Letters of Invitation have been issued to the choirs of forty-four churches in Klamath Falls and vi cinity, and an unusually large number of these groups have ex pressed their desire to participate. The festival will be presented on Mother's Day In Pelican Court, KUHS. Many of the choirs will present Individual anthems under the direction of their own choir- masters, with the combined choirs joining en masse under the direc tion of Mr. Loney and accompanied by the Musical Arts symphonetle orchestra. This festival, whose an nual presentation it is hoped will oecomc a tradition In this com munity, is a fine opportunity for people of all faiths to unite in the enjoyment of sacred songs and an- inems. The festival Is offered free to the music-loving public, and is spon sored hy the Klamath Musical Arts Council. THE DOCTOR SAYS .-Iiu-IN P. JORDAN. M il One of the moat interesting and Important diseases lo which man la heir la tuberculosis, mis is a ki disease which Is acquired by a healthy persou Irom one who al ready harbors the tubercle bacll-u. The past 50 years have ahown some remarkable changes, partic ularly In death relca. The mortal ily rale In the United states lis declined DO per cent during litis period Thai means that where 100 victims of the disease died in 1900, only 10 would die today. Thl trend lo lowering of Hie hasard lo life from tuberculosis la still going on, and the mortality In 1950 was only half of that which existed In 1945. In spite of tills encouraging drop In the death ralr. Hie known fre quency or prevalence of the dis ease has changed but Utile In the last 30 years. It Is estimated that there are about 400.000 acllve cases of the disease In the united Stairs, ol which somewhere around half are known to health departments, The number of new cases reported each year in the whole country htia been running around 120,000 in wo re cent past. One or the reasons for this last Is that belter methods of finding tuberculosis have been employed The more frequent uve of X.rays and the development of mass tent ing have all played a part In dis covering new cases. This Is greatly to the good alnre not only is treatment more elirc tive when tuberculosis Is found ear ly, but also it helps to remove lieople who are a danger to oth ers so that gradually this should lead lo fewer new cases. The kev to the control of tuber culosis rrcognlzcd lo be ho.ipltallt allon. Even IhoiiKh Ihe dealh rale from tuberculosis has been so re markably reduced. Ihe number of hospital beds lor victims of tuber culosis is still Instill ictcnt In many communities, perhaps partly be cause more eases are being dis covered earlier. The yearly cost of the resent tnht-,.tilnl miI..I k. 1Imi,-I States Is calculated at about 1350.- dev. or a total of 1200.000.000 year. In I hl connection, it may be pointed out that the average coat ol one case of tuberculosis Is about Jlo.000. Some time we should be able to almost completely eliminate tuber culusia Irom our aociely. A high proportion of Ihe new cases, for example. Appear among mono per sons who are impoverished ami who are subject lu poor housing, nimr annllalloii. overcrowding. In aiilllcent nutrition, and the Ilk. Consequently, any improvement! In these renpocia should do reiiecien In a lessening of the tuberculosis rale, ' ll Is ImiHualble to foretell jual what the liilure will bring, but nil tlier efforts to control tuberrulotU are certainly 111 order, Sometime. perhaps, wo ran look forward In the happy tluy wiion our iiioormioaii hospitals will no longer have long walling Hals, and moron aoine of them might be transferred lo other uses.

NEW YORK W All the free souls aren't young. The most youthful-talking, independent-minded fellow in town to ' day Is a 75-year-old gent who drags down about $75,000 a year, wears a blue beret and a monocle and ' He Is Charles Coburn, the sprightly dean of a place called Hollywood, which sometimes has been described as seven villages in search of a town and a third di --mension. Charlie has acted in 400 plays ana 53 pictures, ana he nas played so many old codger roles his face is perhaps better known across America than Whistler's Mother or the man on a 52 bill. Off screen, Charlie is definitely young codger indeed, with spring in his step and summer in his -heart. No studio has ever been able to chain him to a long-term contract. "I like to be free fo do what I like," he said, as we chatted in his hotel suite. On the table before him were a bunch of jelly beans. On his desk was a magazine called, "lifetime living for people who plan ahead." Coburn started his movie career In 1937 alter the death of his wife, with whom he had toured for 32 years. The two once played In the old Coburn Theater, which now stands shuttered and dark on West 63rd Street. "No, I won't go by to look at it," he said, "It would only make me feel sad.M Charlie doesn't believe in look ing back or letting yourself feel blue and lonely. He always wants to try something new. Recently he finished his latest picture, "Trouble iuong tne way," and Is looking lorwara lo atienaing nts iirst Ken lucky Derby. He learned to drive a sulky at 70, fell in love with horses, and now owns a stable of top trotters no pacers. Me spends tne summer touring the state fair circuit with them. - i "The horses are more than a hobby." he said. "I'll make money on them this year. "A horse is different from a woman. You can't buy his affec tion, and he always remembers you. I can go to a field and call' close watch on three things in the next few weeks: Any signs of businessmen cut- of my horses I haven't seen for a I ting back on new orders and start- year and bell come running for a kiss and a lump of sugar." Charlie's favorite vices besides Jelly beans are cigars, liquor, pok er and gin rummy ell practiced in moderation. This is his philos ophy after 63 years onstage: "Don't worry. Don't fear death. Don't over-eat, over-drink, don't take violent exercise, don't over indulge In anything. My single ex ception is dancing. I can dance all night with a good partner." And Charlie added, his eyes twinkling: I have no morals, and I don't moralize." The phone rang then, and Co- burn stared balefully at It through nis monocle and said witheringly, foint Killer!" Charlie once was known as the world s highest paid actor because he got $10,000 for saying a single lute. 'I've forgotten the line now." he remarked, "It wasn't one for the ages." Another time he got $15,000 for a single movie scene that the pub lic never saw. Charlie was paid $10,000 for it, bet the director an other $5,000 it would be cut from the final film. It was. A long life has left Coburn with only two more goals. "A man has to be careful not to start repeating himself," he said. "So I would like to do something I have never done before in the theater anything fresh, bright, and new. And I would like to see the 16th amendment to the consti tution repealed." That amendment Is the one that created the Income tax, and when ever unarlie talks about it the eye behind his monocle sees red. Looks red, too. How's a spry young guy turning 76 ever going to pile up any jeny Desna lor nis old ago? ins to live off their high invento ries the thing that brought, on the recession ol 1949. And any cutback, in business plans to spend money on new plants and equipment. These three things are considered by many businessmen as the chief things to watch for Just now. They believe that the other prop of the boom high government spend ing lor defense win oe lowerea slowly, if at all. But if consumers' grow cautious, and if businessmen live off inven tories and drop present plans to spend record sums on further ex pansion then the boom may top out quickly and business slow down. In recent days business leaders have been quick to Issue optimis tic statements, saying that in the long run peace, if it comes, could only be bullish. Any possible stretch - out In the defense pro gram, if It means lower taxes and more materials for-civlllen pro duction, would do little to hamper present prosperity, these leaders contend. Business activity is now at an all - time high. National output of goods and services is now at an annual rate 01 363 billion dol lars, up 3 billion dollars over the last tnree montns 01 1992, Businessmen have pushed their spending for plant and equipment to a new record annual rate of 27 billion dollars in the first three months of 1953. The Department of Commerce says they plan to spend at an annual rate of 28 bil lion dollars In April, May and June, and to cut back to a little more than 26 billion dollars annual rate in the last half of the year. But chances are that the neace tajk will cause many businessmen to take a second look at these plans. . Tito Scorns Peace Hopes WASHINGTON m Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia said Monday Russia's new soft-spoken attitude is repudiation of Stalin's "whole policy up to this time," but means no easing of the cold war. Tito, the, only Communist chief of state lo have broken with the Kremlin, said he believes Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia are among the weakest nolnts In the Soviet satellite system in Eastern Europe. Russia's satellites, he said, arc its "instrument of the cold war" and to cling to them the Soviet migm snui us cold wan strategy. This shift, he said, would involve accepting "partial successes .
