Bradford has taken top honors In mink, Kuhlman in beaver, and Wilson in muskrat for any single trapper mentioned above, for this season. The Klamath Basin offers a va riety of furbearers including musk rat, beaver, mink, and otter which are the most "heavily" trapped furs.

Editorial Musings By CARL GUDERIAN Beginning Journalist What comes on the 14th of this month; an event in which all peo ple of this state should observe? The little children, of course, would think or Valentine's Day. However, that isn't the significant event. On this dav 97 years ago, Oregon be came the thirty-ninth state of the United States of America. Isn't it reasonable that the people of this state should show tome means of celebration on this par ticular day? But they do not. Very few even know that Oregon was admitted February 14, IBM. But then again this only char acterises the feelings and concern of not only the people of this state, but of the entire United States. People i are too busy worrying about the latest tax inerease, or how they are going to pay for their automobile, to be annoyed in thinking of this country and state and its historical days. Not thst just thinking will change the attitude of people. They have to think and at the same time remember the significance of the thought. If this la done then, per haps, the people of this nation will view tneir freedom irom a an- fercnt angle and will stop taking it for granted. 1 Pont Take It for Granted ! mmss 5 a v. m m m mm OR (UMWS, PEOPLE aWf MJ AVeBAft eov 55,000,000 coPie or u.s.
