Spring Creek on this particular day was In Its full glory for the month of December. A clear day with the sky so blue It almost hurt to look at It, the Ice making fairy figures on the bushes growing along the water, the snow sculp tured bv the wind Into every Imanlnable shape. Even a handful of driving ducks were reluctant to leave their clear pool because of the intruders and swam around in dignantly waiting for the interlop ers to pull away. It brought to mind again the thought that while Oregon and the West Coast are beautiful areas in general you'll go a long ways to find more spectacular beauty than we have here. Sometimes hidden away, but there If you slow down and look. ' Let's hope that Klamath Coun ty will continue its Interest In such sites and keep plugging away for more and better roadside develop ment.

Deer By KEN McLEOD The nroblem of the Oregon-Cali fornia interstate deer herd has rnma flcrain Into a critical ohase with the so-called heavy "harvest" of does and fawns Just completed on the winter range In Modoc County. The happy press releases irom tha Palifnrnla Hum Commission of the successful hunt completed there well Illustrates the lack of moral courage on the part of the game management people to tell the full story, by giving sn estl- mila t (he ri-fnnlinn' lnsa. and wantonly slsughtered animals thst were left upon the area but not counted.

These are facts not col ored by a philosophy with "sacred" cows. But then develops the argument, Is there 18.000 deer? Many an Oregon sportsman will swear that there is not half that number be cause In his experience he did not see many deer and 18.000 sounds like a lot. When you reduce this figure down to acres it means one deer on an average of ?2.2 acres, even that does not sound very big un less you csn visualize a 20 acre tract. It becomes a pretty sizeable Jungle If covered by a heavy stand of mahogany. No doubt the argument over tak ing the deer census will go on and on until soortsmen and the exoerts can settle down to facts without ,hB ')! that nrnnflcrnnda is in volved to protect the sacred cows of differing philosophies. ist mo state nas cxponn'teu. - --- Now let's look at the 1965 polio who are charged with the custody . .
