From a bird's eye view it must have looked like a wonderful duck season last year. At least the fig ures for the annual midwinter wa terlowl Inventory would make it appear to be so. Figures for tills year listed 473,421 waterfowl on hand In Oregon. This compares to a IK-urc of 156,000 ill 1949; 177.000 in 1950; 203.000 In 1051 and 261,000 In 1952. There were more mallards than liny other species of duck and more Canada geese than any other specie. Tiicro were aluo . some 3000 whistling swans. If the birds go on Increasing at that rate there won't be room lor anything, else In the Northwest. AIouk the subject of game we might mention that a set of figures recently compiled by the state game commission Inform us that hunting and fishing is a 160 mil lion dollar Industry for Oregon. There were 434.660 resident li censes sold last year, plus some 28,481 out-of-state tags of various kinds. The crystal - bailers have estimated that the average sports man spends $300 per year on his hobby. There was on increase of 3.7 per cent In license sales over 1952, 7.3 percent more non resident hunters and a 7 percent rise in tnc num ber of deer tags bought. Total deer kill for the year is estimated at 100.000. There were 203,006 deer tags sold. . Celling more dangerous every year to trust yoursell out beyond your own front yard.

CAUGHT IN THE ROUNDS ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD Sam Dawson By DEB ADDISON Cleaning out the note drawer un covers a miscellany of such things as; THE REMARK at the last Com munity Conceit to the effect that If someone would buy the gal (Erlka Worinli a new fiddle she really could turn out some tunes. Which brings up the thought that, while entertainment has evolved from the traveling minstrel and court Jester to television, while transportation has progressed from the ox cart lo the Jet air plane, while communications have grown from smoke signals to radar in 200 years no one has im proved on. or even matched, the violins made by Antonio Stradivari 4n Cremona, Italy. . . There may be a, moral to draw from that, and from the Temark of the do-it-yourself boys who sav that people appreciate home mov ies a lot more since the advent of TV. THE REMARK. "You make Mon day mornings seem like Tues- flay." What nicer compliment have you heard? (That remark was not di rected this way.) THE FACT THAT Pete Belcastro. the old "Weed Assassin" of wrestling fame who now Is a staid and hard - working dairyman, has been Invited by the Boone & Crock et Club to enter his mountain sheep head in competition for record trophys. Tho head of the ram that fell to Pete's rifle, now in the hands of the American Museum of Natural History, has a 42-inch curl, 15-inch base and 26-lnch spread. The ani mal weighed about 350 oounds. Now Pete has to build an addition ' to his home for a trophy room. (If you ever fim this writer with his tongue hanging out, 11 will be because he's still panting from the lime, years ago, when he tried to keep up with Pete in scrambling over the crags on a buck hunting trip.) THE FACT THAT the name, "Rex", as in Rex Porterfield, means "king". The Kiwanis Club was right on two scores. THE STATEMENT of Bryant Wil liams that nobody realizes how much good will, how much good public relations, has come out of the trip of His Majesty Rex Por terfield, and brother Jim and Bry ant, to Washington, D,C. The potato has been the whip ping boy of farm politics for a num. ber of years. We've suffered from it economically and politically. The continuation of such activities boys like Rex growing belter po tatoes to be eaten, not subsidized wui help right that situation. THE FACT THAT there are only two irue foods in the world. Our dally bread comes from grain. A kernel of grain is a seed, which grew for the primary pur pose of reproduction, of growing another plant. Potatoes are seeds. too, Meat comes from mammals, of which man is one, whose exis tence is an end in itself. The only true foods, which exist for no other purpose than that of being foods, are milk and honey. Milk, of course, more completely furnishes all the needs of life than any other thing that we eat. THE FACT THAT lots of folks like garlic those who eat it.

It is unfortunate our pioneer set tiers have lei I us such a small amount of information in regard to tne numbers ot nig game ani mals present when the country was a wilderness. Borne of the very early visitors to the great central valley of California remarked on the great herds of deer and elk to be found upon the plains before the days of the gold rush. Tre mendous numbers were killed by the 49'ers for food and market hunting was one of the first in dustries to supply the camps with meat. The greatest toll of this wild life resource, however, was not the drain upon the supply for meat but the terrific toll lhat was taken just for hides. The "deer slayers" as they were called in those early days persisted down to the turn of the century. The literature of pioneer days has little to say in regards to Moun tain sheep which were numerous in the Klamath Basin. Deer re ceive some notice but even they have little mention to the chronicle of the early day settler. Elk are from time to time casually men tioned. The last of the native Klamath Basin elk appear to have van ished sometime in the latter part of the 1890 decade. Their last stronghold seemed to be in the Blue Canyon area and around the base of ML McLoughlin. The chron icle of Frank Riddle the husband of Toby (Wl-ne-mai Riddle as writ ten by Meecham carries this line. "During his sojourn upon the Wes tern coast, he has killed seven hundred and forty-three deer and elk, and one hundred and thirty two bears of various species." Meecham makes no mention of Mountain sheep. Joaquin Miller lias written of "deer and elk" in the area about -me Forks." In a bit of nrose called "An Elk Hunt In the Sier ras" Joaquin tells about how the Indians hunted elk around the base of Mount Shasta. The whole great mountain range of the Cascades and the Sierras was always the "Sierras" to Miller. Joaquin"writes in his narrative of crossing the plains of the Miller family "cross ing the Cascade Mountains, or ra ther, the sierra Grande del Nord." Of the elk hunt, Joaquin writes; "After great preparation, we struck out steeply up the mountain, and for three days wallowed through the snow in the dense, dark woods, when we struck the great elk trail. A single trail it was, and looked as if a sawlog had been drawn repeatedly through the snow. The bottom and sides of the trail were as hard and smooth as tec. Porhap., a thousand elk had passed here. They had been breaking from one thicket of maple and other kinds of brush which they feed upon at such times. We knew that they could not have gone far through this snow. which reached above their backs, we hung up our snow. shoes now, and, looking to our arms, snoi anead full oi delightlul anticipation'. At last, climbing a little hill, with clouds of steam rising from the warm springs of mat region, we looked down into a little valley of thick undergrowth, and there calmly rested the vast herd of elk. I peered thr&ugh the brush into the large, clear eyes of a great stag with a head of horns like a rocking-chair. He was chewing his cud, and was not at all disconcerted. It is possible we were not yet discovered. . . . The Indians observed that only the cows were fat anf lit to kill. Some stags had somehow shed their horns, it seemed. There were no calves We fell back and formed our plan of attack at leisure. It was unique and desperate. We did not wani one or two elks, or ten: we wanted the whole herd. Human life depended upon our prowess. A tribe was starving, and we felt a responsioiiity in our work. 'It was finally decided to co around and approach bv the little stream, so that the herd would not start down It their only means of escape. It was then planned to approach as closely as possible, fire with our rifles at the fattest, then burst in upon them, pistol in hand, and so, breaking their ranks; scatter tnem in the snow, where the Indians could rush upon them and use the bows and arrows at their backs. "Slowly and caullouslv we an. proached upon the little warm wii. low-lined rivulet, and then, firing uui lines, we rusnea into the cor ral, pistols in hand. The poor, help- H.-M neia was on us leet in a sec ond, all breaking out over the wall of snow, breast high on all sides. Here they wallowed and floundered in the snow, shook their heads, and called helplessly to each other. They could not get on at all. And long after the last shot and the last arrow were spent. I leisurely walked around and looked Into the eyes of some of those fat, sleek cows as they lay there, up to their briskets, helpless in the snow. Of course the Indians had no senti ment in this matter. Thev wanted only to kill and secure meat for the hungry, and half an hour after the attack on the corral of elk thev were quartering the meat and hang- iih iv up in trees secure from wolves. In this way thev hung more than a hundred elk, not tak ing time to skin or dress them in any way."

What goes on in our minds when we arc not conscious is something which has puzzled physicians, phil osophers, and everyone else lor a long time.

Her mother lives with her. m the morn ing when we tell her. she does not remember a thing. Mrs. T. A This seems to fit into the pat tern ol what arc known as recur ring nightmares. It seems likely that this young woman was at one time terribly irightctied about the health or well-being ol her mother, and this keeps cropping up in her subconscious when she falls asleep. Quite likely it will become less constant with the passage of lime.

A Allergy to soap or other things can develop at anv time in life, after one has been in contact with the oftendlng substance for a long time. It would seem quite likely that if this Is really the cause of the trouble in your hands you would get some relief by using a chemical detergent or cleansing agent other than soap.

Professional advice NEW YORK i Tax relief for business first or for individuals first which would give the econ omy the biggest boost? Industry is bendin? congression al ears Just now, seeking more liberal depreciation rates some thing the average citizen may be a little hazy about. Industry holds that this would spur business and create Jobs. Tlie changes would apply to new farm buildings and equipment, and new rental housing, as well as to new laclories and machin ery, and commercial and indus trial buildings. Individuals would like a cut In personal income tax payments. So would William McChesney Martin Jr., head of the federal reserve system, in all probabil ity. But he tells congressmen: "If you increase the money con sumers have to spend through raising tax exemptions on personal income taxes, there is no guaran tee that the consumer will spend the money." Many a citizen, on Uie contrary, may he quite sure that he'll have to spend any money saved him on laxes and the merchants to whom he Is in debt might be inter ested in seeing the color of that money. bui most businessmen will go along with Martin's belief that at this time of recession worries the emphasis should be on the pro duction side. Here is how businessmen fig. ure that liberalization of deprecia- lion rates would spur production and create or save jobs: The present practice in reckon, ing Income tax returns is for busi nessmen to charge off the cost of plant and equipment over the estl mated life of the property. The Treasury has a lot of rules of thumb for this. If you buy a small cutting tool, say, and its life expectancy is one year, you set up a depreciation reserve for it and charge it off completely as a deductible ex pense item in the year you buy it. Next year you tap the deprecia tion reserve for the money to buy a new tool. But businessmen contend that the modern world is much too speedy for these old rules. They say that often nowadays a machine becomes obsolete years before it would wear out. Or shifting con sumer tastes call for a new ma chine to make a different product currently striking the public fancy. They want the Treasury to change depreciation rates so that they can charge off most of the cost of the machine or plant in Its early years before it may be come outdated. They argue that such a change would spur manufacturers to put in new ana more cllicicnt ma chines now, would encourage shop keepers to modernize now; would induce farmers to get new labor saving equipment now.

Two years ago their press ;;ulp was estimated by "Variety at 20 million dollars annually, perhaps a modest figure today when their irograms are on at least 1.500 of the nation's 2,500 radio outlets and some 145 television markets. Some of the programs Johnnv Sinn never has to worry about fretting tickets to are "Boston Blackle," "Mr, District Attorn ey," "Yesterday's News-reel, ' and "The Hour Stars." They are his. He recently signed Red Skelton in a three million dollar deal. Among the otner stars who work for him no movie studio could Bacall, Tony Martin, Otnger Rug. ers, Dick Haymes, Robert Mont gomery, Adolphe .Menjou and T rone Power. Yet only 18 years ago Sinn cult college in nis junior year to take a $25 a week Job in radio station WLW in Cincinnati. "It was a fantastic Job," he re called, "in those days in radio you did everything. You wrote chows, produced shows, . announcer! news anything thai had to be dene, And it was all wonderful," How did he leap from (25 a week to a partnership in a io-mll-llon-a-year-or-plus firm? It began with a gimmick, or, ps ihey say in the advertising field, an idea. Johnny thought up a program for a local bakery firm called "The Freshest Thing in Town" lhat caught on well. He antl Fred Ziv, owner of an advertising agen cy, decided to try to gel other bakeries in other towns to ouy it, The idea worked. We Just went on from there," Sinn recalled. "As we brought in more money, we created more pro grams, hired bigger stars, uold our shows to more stations. We put mem on tape in radio, film in television later. "This meant neither the star nor the station was tied lo a net work's schedule. The actor could :vork when he wanted to. the sta tion could put on tho program Hny time it wanted to, and the sponsor had the same choice. We ve learned famous names help start a new program, but on ly quality will keep it going. Good shows start with a good script. people are always -hungry for better entertainment, and that re quires better writers. The writer is always at least as imnortant as the performer." Johnny, who started off bv writ ing his own shows, then said: 'Gee, you know the really bia- gest decision in my life was whe ther to quit college before getting my degree? But it was exactly the job I hoped to get after I fm Ished college. I feel I did what I had to. What would vou have done?" Well, personally. I staved in col- lege and got two degrees.'
