One of the current bills that die.',

40 per cent of the funds from fed

marked for the acquisition of wa
terfowl areas.
His contention Is that the avail

necessary then let's boost the price
of the stamp to 10 or more. .
I If it sounds Inconsistent that we,
who spend so much time deploring
the rising costs of almost every
thing, should voluntarily agree to
this increase let me explain it this
way? Hunting, particularly the
burning of migratory wateriowl, Is
not an Inexpensive hobby at best.
The average hunter spends lar
more on his equipment for this
fcport than he does for almost any
other form of shooting. Shotguns
are a costly luxury, even those
in the so - called low price field
being fairly expensive, shells have
. shown a tendency to spiral In cost
every year since the beginning oi
the war. And no end Is in sight at
this writing. With mounting, labor
and material costs you can't ex
pect to go back to the old dollar a
box days. Clothing is, again, quite
an item. Nor can you discount the
wear and tear on your car getting
to and from the hunting grounds,
the expense of a set of waders,
hip boots, a boat, decoys, duck
and goose calls, licenses, hunting
rights and all the rest of It.
So It would seem that while all
hunting is not yet a rich man's
sport, It is certainly not a cheap
iorm of recreation for the average
American man or woman. In the
face of all this expense I can't see
that the doubling or tripling of the
federal tee would be an insupport
able burden to the sportsmen.
If, and there is Rlways that If,
the funds were intelligently and
honestly handled by an agency
free of political stresses and pressures.
Up here In our High Desert we
have seen hunting fall gradually
into the samo fate that has be
fallen the fisherman. If you want
Rood hunting you have to get into
the back areas where access is dif
ficult. Just as you have to hike
into the high lakes or the secluded
streams to find the best fishing.
We have seen outsiders come in
and pay large sums of money to
tie up choice close in hunting
'areas for themselves and their
hope of anything else. Due to the
peculiarities of the various flyways
stato laws are not readily applic
able to the situation.
I do say this, however: If we are
to have expanded hunting lucililics
las well as expanded nesting and
resting grounds) then I believe

left to us the record ol Vizcaino's
voyage and was a member ot that
expedition. Ascension wrote: "we
arrived at Cape Mendocino, which
is in 42 degrees, the highest lat
itude whicli is reached by the
China ships." From this statement
we construe the fact the trip from
China across the Pacific to sight
of land on the American coast in
42 degrees, even in J603, was not
a rare event. j
Explorations upon the west coast
of America came to an end with
Vizcaino's unprofitable voyage and
this condition remained until 1769. !
During this long period of inacti- j
vity on the pa it of Spain there
were numerous exploring projects j
urged upon the king, but the gov
ernment would not become
aroused to action. It was quite
evident that there were no great
rich kingdoms in the north and
the finding oi a strait far to the
north would be of no aovantage
to Spain. There were always the
group oi hopelul optimists who
were always dreaming of vast
riches "beyond the horizon," and
who were ever willing to respond
to the call of the government, pro
vided of course, the royal ex
chequer would pay the bill.

SAN FRANCISCO I Can youj
Imagine the uproar in Paris if
someone proposed razing the
Eiffel Tower? Or the screams in
Brooklyn if someone sold the
Dodgers to Dallas?
Well, the same kind of turmoil
has been going oft here all year
since they cut San Francisco's
famous cable car system in half.
"IX we're out to ruin the city,
whv not chop the Golden Gate
Bridge in half, too?" demanded
die-hard defenders of the cable
car.
The cable car, long a symbol of
San Francisco to the nation, was
regarded as one of the wonders
of the West after its invention
here in 1873. Today thousands of
motorists regard the antiquated
little Toonerville type trolleys,
which are pulled along by whirring
underground cables, as one of the
unfortunate transportation blun
ders of history.
But the slow-moving little cars
("Ladies will remain seated:
gentlemen may Tide standing out
side at their own risk") are be
loved by tradition - proud native
San Franciscans. Millions of tour
ists wouldn't think their visit to
the city complete without one. It
gives them the thrilling feeling of
a brief iourney back into an ad
venturous past. !
But time has passed the cable
car by in terms of efficiency. They
cost three limes as much to oper
ate as a bus, move only about half
as fast, and are great middle-of-;
the-road traffic blockers.
Faced with these stern facts,
the board of supervisors last Jan
uary cut the 11-mile cable car
trackage in half. It retained the
historic lines that would give vis-;
itors the most picturesque views
of the city.
But an immediate outcry arose,
nationally and locally:
"Save the cable cars!" '
Letters poured in from all over '
America urging thai the cable car
was the vocal soul of old San
Francisco, and must not be lost.
Indignant citizens last June
passed, among other measures, an
amendment to the city charter
providing that the cable car should
be part of San Francisco forever.
But, significantly, some 60.000 vot
ers straddled the fence by refus- j
Inr? to vote on the issue.
That should have settled the
I problem, but it hasn't'. Sentiment
i alists. perhaps including many
who haven't stepped on a cable
car since the invention of the auto
' mobile, have kept the fight rag- i
Ing. They still feel, although be-
j wildered officials protest "tain't so,
the curtailment of the cable car
network is only the first step in
a dark plot to abandon It alto
gether. So sound trucks still roil through
Chinatown blaring the embattled
war cry In Chinese: "Save the
cable cars!" A campaign is un-.
derway by enthusiasts to iorce the
city to restore, or even enlarge
the lost cable car trackage. '
