JENKINS A call from Jim Savage, the US Pish and Wildlife agenv ;. passes along the lrtformation that some new species of birds have been shot in the pest couple of years on the Upper take. New to this area, that is. During the 1963 season two un idiidi varitia rm turned In. a surf scoater arid a pair of red breasted mergansers, both species being natives of salt water coun try, just blundered In on us over here. .' ' The scoater was shot on the lake by Chet Langslet, our sporting' minded nostmaster. and the mtr a-anaera were nicked off by Tom Oarratt, another FW agent. Both birds were positively iden tified bv Rtanlev Jewett Sr.. the author of "Birds of Oregon" and a recognised authority on all kinds of western Birds. Kemrdlna- the aeoater, ' Jim says that prior to this time the only one he knows of shot out side Its native habitat was one killed a few years ago on the Co lumbia above portisno. mis one killed here la the first reported east of the Cascades, . Back m 1H3 a pair of hunters from Coos Bay, Wallace Xang- worthv and Clyde Reese, fumed un with a oair of Old Squaw ducks which they had bagged on the Upper Lake. These are also natives of salt water and had blundered aver here to our High Desert. Interesting, ; Regarding the dumping of gar bage all over our great outdoors: Had a call from a Mr. Jimmy Sprost who Uvea up along the Old Port Road. She says she would mightily appreciate it If people on their way to dump garbage would wait until they got to the dump Instead of pitching it off along the side of the road.' Says she and her husband spend a good deal of time packing off cartons of household trash tossed over onto their lawn by passing motor lata who turn a trip to the dump Into a pleasure drive instead. And dump their garbage en the fly. Don't shoot until you see the whites of their tires, Mrs. Bptoat. Then shoot straight.

Behind this probe Is a merciful Idea the wish to find a cure for hangovers. i It oan't be done. Frank Merrl well was unable to find a hang over remedy during the period when he made Yale famous. Tom Swift and the Rover Boys, I have heard, spent their adult yeara In quest ot an electric or atomic an swer to the hangover, and found no answer. Even Toots Shor, the restaurant owner who collects the more In teresting hangovers of his clients and pastes them In his memory book as a hobby, can recommend no morning after remedy better than "Bloody Mary," which is Vodka tinted pink with tomato Juice. Very popular with advertis ing men. But taking another drink, the return to "the hair of the dog that bit you," cannot be classified as either a cure or a remedy for a hangover. It can only be re garded as the compounding ot a felony, and the postponement of a Just punishment. You will notice that nlether Har vard nor the Massachusetts Insti tute of Technology is pursuing the wlll-o-the-wlsp lure of trying to discover a hangover euro. They may pierce the secrets of the atom but they recognise the limits ot science, So does Albert Einstein, who can put the universe In a simple equation, but sensibly has refrsined from attempting a solution of the hangover. One can only ssy to the true blue researchers at Yale, "On, men, on!" But that la like egging on a bird dog to sniff far quail In a subway.

Hope his luck holds out, Buens Stone, who probably knows as much of the history of this country as anyone today, called In to remind us that the SPEBSQSA performance last Sat urday waa nothing new to this country. - Back in 1U1 Fort Klamath and Llnkville got together and formed what they called the "Fort Klam ath - Llnkville Amateur Variety Company" - and presented the Klamath Minstrels. Held on February 22, the show wss advertised as containing "new songs, new dances, roaring farces.". Admission was four bits and there was a dance following the af fair which lasted Into the wee small hours. Buena telle us that practically all these events were followed ey a dance. Now we have the Afterglow. word cornea down to us that all la well with the world and the old place Is still rotating as normal. Why? 'Cause we hear that Karl Weimar who retired as mill super intendent at WTO a little bit ago and pulled out for Yakima has taken on a Job' as general super intendent of the cascade Lumber Company up there apd la doing fine. You'll also be glad to know that Earl has joined the Yakima coun try club and Is Just ss active with his golf up there as he was hers. And that's pretty active. our loss is .surety Yakima s gain. They Just didn't come sny nicer than the Weimar's.

First, they started too late, They don't have the material to work on. The 34-karat genuine, double. throb vibrating hangover , Is a thing of the paat. It went out with prohibition. Trie present day hang. over la Just a hangover phrase irom tne neyaay of tne real bang. over. There were giants in the old days. There aren't any now. No one alive today that I know of could sustain the kind of hang overs the oldtlmers reminisce about. Second, it is against nature, that there should be any cure for hangover except time and the uc- ceptanee of common sense. Pleasure pursued too far must always be followed by pain, the penalty tor foolishness, This Is the iron law of living that stupidity must pay its price. Scientists are still puttied over what a hangover really is. They seek a physical explanation to describe a rebellion of the soul. A hangover Is only partly a suffering of the body; it Is even more a suffering of the snlrit. hag-ridden by guilt, fear, and self- aeousallons for the sin of self Indulgence. In a hangover the mina names the body as much as me ooay names tne mlna. A hangover Is a form ot self- hate; It Is the feeing ot one's self in an interior mirror and the anoek or recognising the Imeee The ahock must last until one can look back Into the mirror and see a Hirer image, snd this takes time. Science would be better to look ror a msgic capsule to prevent lupmuy rawier man seen lor a pill to cure hangovers. The hang. over is nature s built-in barrier to protect a man from his own furth er foolUhnes. It Is an alarm clock of the con science and the body, and anyone who finds a way to turn off that alarm clock Is no real friend ot the rsee of man.

Thcyll Do It Every S4FBTV WKTS ALONG NATURE'S TRAIL by KEN McLEOD We left John Mulr in our last column, describing the wilderness setting In which he became ac quainted with a band ot mountain sheep, the band had crossed the turbulent San Joaquin by Jumping from rock to rock on a series of boulders that served as stepping stones across the stream. Mulr con tinues: 'After crossing the river, the dauntless climbers, led by their chief, at once began to scale the canyon 'wall, turning now right, now left. In long, single tile, keep toe well out ot one another's way, and, leaping in regular auccession rrara crag to crag, now ascending slippery dome-curves, now walking leisurely along the edges of pre cipices, stopping to gaze down' at me from some flat-topped rock, with heads held aslant, as If cur ious to learn what I thought about It, or whether I was likely to fol low them. After reaching the top of the wall, which at thla place, is somewhere between 1,500 and 3,000 feet high, they were still visible against the sky as they lingered, looking down In groups of two's or three's. Throughout the entire ascent they did not make a single awk ward step, or unsuccessful effort ot any kind, I have frequently seen tame sheen In mountains Jump upon a sloping rock-surface, hold on tremulously a few seconds, and fall back baffled and Irresolute. But In the most trylrur situations wnere tne slightest want or inac curacy would have been fatal, these always seemed to move in comfortable reliance on their strength and skiu, the limits of which they never appeared to know. Moreover, each one of the lloci, while following the guidance of the most experienced, yet climb ed with intelligent Independence as a perfect lndivldual, capable ot sep arate existence whenever It should wish or be compelled to withdraw from the little clan. The domestic sheep, on the contrary. Is only a fraction of an animal, a whole flock being required to form an Individual, Just as numerous flowerets are required to make one complete sunflower. "Those shepherds who, in sum. mer, drive their flocks to moun tain pastures, and, while watching them night and day, have' seen them frightened by bears and storms, and scattered like wind- driven chaff, will, in some meas ure, be able to appreciate the self- reliance and strength and noble In dividuality of nature's sheep. one ot tne common stories we so often hear when "old timers" tell tall tales" regarding mountain sheep is that they are able to plunge down steep cliffs and light on their horns, this, they solemnly declare, is tne reason why Mother Nature provided them with such massive head ornament. I remem ber a story once told by the late Dr. Joseph Orlnnell who was one ot our best known authorities on birds and mammals. A lawsuit developed over a water-hole down In Califor nia's Panamlt Mountains on the edge of Death Valley. I do not remember the devious details ot the suit but it ended by hinging up on whether or not it was true that a mountain sheep could Jump several hundred feet and land on Its horns. The defense contended the sheep could, the opposition, they couldn t. VfftM fr Tvry mm I CMMltto MM rsr Baldwin imJm Homedole & Harlan Tune &JT W rftS OtYN VVWATfe ME GOT ? Ct SOUTARy SOCKET... RlMWfS tTVWJV amiCX EXtPT AMM&-BOC fJXKET As a consequence. Dr. GrinneU wss called from the University of California to testify upon the pow. era of sheep, and, of which he had made an extensive study. The Jury and opposing attorneys listened with great respect to the savants explanation of how it was Impos sible for a sheep to dive any con siderable distance ana land upon Its horns without suffering s broken neck. Doc remarked later, "I thought I did a good scientific Job but the jury decided in favor ot the defendent." since the case was never appealed I presume It Is still legally possible for mountain sheep ot California to dive long distances, land on their horns and live to run away. John Mulr, in ISM, remarks about this story: "Like the Alp- climbing ibex of Europe, our mountaineer is said to plunge head long down the faces of sheer pre cipices, and alight on his big horns. i snow only two nunters who claim to have actually witnessed this feat; I never was so fortunate. They describe , the act as diving head-foremost. The horns are so large at the base that they cover the upper portion ot the head down nearly to the level of the eyes, and the skull la exceedingly strong. I struck an old, bleached specimen on Mount Rltter a dozen blows with my lee-ax without breaking It. Such skulls would not fracture very readily oy tne wildest rock-diving, but other bones could hardly be expectea to noia together in such a performance: and the mechanical difficulties in the way of control ling tneir movements, after striking upon an irregular surface, are, in themselves, sufficient to show this boulder-like method ot progression to be impossible, even In the ab sence of all other evidences on the subject."

JORDAN, M-D Peoole frequently get warts and corns mixed up, since they innk a little bit alike, but actual- ly they are quite different. Corns are caused by injury to skin usual ly over a long perloa of ume. Warts are essentially Infections, believed caused by viruses. -Be. cause of this similarity In appear ance, however, they can be con veniently considered at the same time. .- . ' The skin hss an outer layer which i nuite tough, as everyone know , when this outer part of the skin is pressed upon or irritated so that it continues to grow ana becomes horny, these growths are called corns. Two varieties are recognized; harri corns which are thick and develon on the prominent part of the foot where a shoe presses noon It. and soft corns which gen orally appear on a toe which has been' rubbing against another one Corns are often particularly painful about the time of a storm. Some people claim, probably cor rectly, that they can foretell the appearance ot bad weather by the fact that their corns start hurting. Most corns disappear when the cause is removed, m other words, If a person with corns on the feet is bedridden for some time they will go away. After badly fitting shoes are replaced, corns will also so often go away, but not so rap idly. There are various ways of soft ening corns and removing them by cutting or scraping. In a few cases in which the corn is ex temely painful or needs to be re moved rapidly, a small operation Is quite effective. Several kinds of warts are known but all are believed to be caused by infection with one or more viruses.- They are more 1 or less contagious and people fre quently transfer a wart from one part of the body to another by rubbing or scratching. There is no - truth, however, to ihe belief that handling a toad will produce warts. In spite of the tact that warts are infections, they can be suc cessfully treated in several differ ent ways.- Local treatment by freeiing . or diathermy Is often effective. Injections ot various substances have also been used. Even mental treatment seems to have been useful in curing warts, although why this should be true is sun something oi a mys tery. In particularly difficult cases. treatment with X-rays and even removal by operation has been un dertaken, i CONFAB ' SALEM tfl The American Forestry Assn. will hold its 78th annual meeting In Portland Sept. 6-9, State Forester Oeorge Spaur announced Monday.
