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.

bullet struck his brother midway
in the left thigh, fracturing the

will pay less taxes this year than
they did for 1962, County Assessor
Clyde (Hap) Caldwell said today.
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. Under the present
law, the Eastern Oregon Timber
Severance Bill, only harvested
