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.

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.

NEW YORK U For some
years a group ot scholar scientists
at Yale University has been study
ing the problem of what people
do to alcohol (and vice verss),
and now they are Investigating
hangovers.
Behind this probe Is a merciful
Idea the wish to find a cure

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.

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.

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."

The Doctor Says
By EDWIN P. 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.

removal by operation has been un
