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

sites and keep plugging away for
more and better roadside develop

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.
Some day the so-called game
management expert will have to
face this critical issue lor ne win

cause of fear that the facts might
reflect criticism upon nis sagacious

on 100.0CO acres Is one problem
18.000 deer on 400.000 acres Is
another. 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

No doubt the argument over tak

on until soortsmen and the exoerts
can settle down to facts without
