"I li V PAGE-4A HERALD AND NEWS, KJinulh FaUl, Ore. Sunday, September 2t, 1981 Waterfovi Count Begins To Climb At Refuge With Peak Year Eyed Brother Wounds California Hunter ' Hie Grand Central Station of! the duck world is beginning to ex perience Its annual traffic jam, .Tule Lake Wildlife Refuge Is becinnine to fill with ducks and geese from all over the world- including a few Irom oemna ine Iron Curtan. Ed O'Neill, U.S. Fish and Wild life Service game biologist, esti mates that there are already two million waterfowl in the refuge and there are indications this vcar will be one of the busier at the reguge. "Things look favorable for bumper crop of ducks and geese this year, O Neill said. , - At the peak In November, he .said the population of the refuge may approach the years of 1954 53 when six million waterfowl crowded into the refuge on their way south for the winter. But one of the more serious problems facing biologists at Tule Lake this year is an epidemic of botulism, a disease which so far this summer has affected about 17,000 birds. Some of the birds have died, but many have been saved in Tule Lake's bird hospital, where they are treated with drugs. There has been an unusually 6evere assault of the disease this -year because of the late h o t Iwealhcr and other contributing .factors. I Jj Employes at Tule Lake are con ;sdintly on patrol to pick up sick 'and dead birds to prevent the 'spread of the disease further. ' But despite the disease, there promises to be more than enough ducks and geese for hunters when the waterfowl season opens Oct. 23. Hunters annually have taken only about 15,000 waterfowl from the refuge. . ; One of the main jobs of the Irefuge employes when the hunting .season is In full swing is the col Jrection of bands from birds shot ; jiJ the refuge. 7-ln past years, bands have been '.'collected at the refuge from ducks marked in such diverse places as Soviet Russia and Central Ameri ca. Since the Russians began their banding program less than 10 years ago, 150 to 200 birds have been caught or shot at Tule Lake bearing Russian bands. 'ONcill said most of these Wrdsl were banded on Wrangcl Island in the Arctic Ocean. Most of them arc snow geese, although a fewi pintails have been noted. When a Russian band is recov ered, details of the incident are forwarded to the Russians by the Fish and Wildlife Service's Wash-i ington headquarters. Also, there have been several ducks banded at Tule Lake which mado their way to Russia, there to be shot or captured. The Rus sians have cooperated in return ing information of them back to the U.S. Ducks banded at Tule Lake have shown up in virtually every coun try in the Western Hemisphere, plus a few Asian nations. At least one duck banded at Tule Lake flew to Russia, was banded on the othor leg by the Russians.- then flew back to Tule Lake to be shot. Information on handing and the capture of banded birds is coor dinated through the service's Washington headquarters most of it being done in tho last few months by electronic date proccs sor. A hunter who reports shooting a banded bird is sent information on the origin of the banding. Once a duck lias been handed. it lives an average of 15 to IBl months before being shot. But some ducks have lived as long as 20 years after banding. This year, 5,000 ducks and all the geese that can be found have Wen banded at Tule ILnke by thoi Kish nd Wildlife Service. In ad dition, pelicans are also handed as they appear in Tule Lake. Most ducks proceed to Mexico and Central America after stop ping in Tule Lake in tho winter. Of the banded ducks reported killed. 60 per cent are taken in California.

McCullough was hunting with his brother Earl of Powers, Ore. at Mixup Springs about four miles south of Quartz Mountain at the; time of the shooting.

The bullet struck his brother midway in the left thigh, fracturing the leg. Jack Lcntz, who resides near Quartz Mountain, phoned for the disaster car here. Lynn Jones, deputy sheriff, accompanied the disaster car to the site. McCullough was brought to the hospital here at 1:30 p.m. Satur day. No information is yet avail able on his condition.

The savings to taxpayers in personal property and real prop erty taxes will vary from $.40 per (1,000 in Klamath Falls (Code 1) to a whopping $11.70 per $1,000 for residents of the Malin taxing dis trict (Code 13i, Caldwell- said further. The overall drop in taxes is at tributed, generally, to an increase of some $2.5 million in the as sessed valuation of the county which went up from $88.1 million in 1962 to $91.6 this year. Of the increase, more than $1 million was noted in the field of pub lic utilities, Caldwell stated. The effect of the increase in the assessed value of the coun ty is, generally, that it enlarges the tax base, or spreads the ex pense of county government among more taxpayers. Also up in value since last year was the city of Klamath Falls, which has been assessed at $23.3 million compared to $23.0 for last year. The hike in the assessed value of the county was more than sufficient to offset the loss of some $10,000 in timlwr severance taxes which dropped for the third year in a row, Caldwell said. In 1961-62, the county received $265,- 000 In such taxes, but the amount of those revenues received by the county fell to $118,000 for 1962 63 and has dropped still further to $110,000 for fiscal year 1983-64. The decrease in timber sever ance revenues is the result of leg islation passed several years ago which takes standing timber off of the tax rolls.
