OREGON’S W ILD LIFE RESOURCES In the 14 national forests listed in Oregon, it is estimated that mule deer, found east of the Cascades, increased from 22,221 in 1924 to 69,- 200 in 1935. It is noted that the number of licensed hunters increas ed from 54,000 in 1924 to over 71,000 in 1935. The number o f black tail and mu'e deer killed by hunters in 1935 was 5,113, while predatory ani mals killed 10,587 or twice as many as killed by hunters. Unlike the mule, deer, which has more than doubled in number dur ing the past ten years, the black tail deer, which is found from the Cascades to the coats, is just about holding its own. There are two species of elk in Oregon, the Roosevelt elk of which there are on'y 600 or 700 found west of the Cacsades, and the Rocky Mountain elk. found east of the Cas cades particularly hi the northeast ern part of the state. The total num ber of these species had increased from about 3,000 in 1924 to around 12,500 in 1934. The problem of winter range is acute. Elk consume much more food than deer. More winter range is needed and while there is room for more elk some regulation of the size of the herd must be adopted. A splendid game animal formerly found in large numbers in the plains and mountain region of North America but which has almost dis- api>eared, is the ante'ope. However there is quite a large herd ranging the southeast quarter of the state. W hitetail deer were formerly plentiful in the Willamette Valley and slopes of the coast range, but few are left today. I t Is now un lawful to kill them at any time, and this c'osed season should be m ain tained until the number has greatly increased. A large number of deer killed by predatory animals is more than likely due to the weakened condi tion o f the deer caused by lack of food on their range. There is no doubt that large portions of their range in the mountains are oVer- pastured by domestic animals. This presents the problem of range m an agement. Should the number of do mestic animals be limited so as to preserve a portion of the range as pasture for the natura' denizens of the forest? W ill Oregon lose more than it can gain by permitting all his range to be so closely cropped that even the hardy natural grasses are killed. The soli is left bare for erosion to take its toll, leaving on'y the desolate barren rocks as we now see in many places in ihe Rockies and other mountains. A sane pro gram of conservation should be adop ed and in the 'ong run it will prove the better way. From the facts set forth, it is ap parent that proper protection and management of our game will result generally in the res tor a: Ion of this great natural resoure to its former usefulness as a source of recreation W ith scientific management and adjustment of the range both win ter and summer, the big game re sources o f Oregon may be made to excel those of any other state.

Roughest Inland Body of Water The Saiton sea in California la tha roughest inland body of water in this country. H i? 193 7 + > «A ♦ M f 4 4 cüßTsTmfls m By Daniel I. McNamara D AVID W. GUION, musician-com poser, whose cowboy song, “ Home on the Range,” Is a White House favorite, is the only member of the American Society of Compos ers, Authors and Publishers who is equally at home before the key board of a grand piano and astride a bucking bronco. Famous in the music world for bis symphonic transcriptions of traditional melo dies of the cowboy W est and the negro South, he is still more cele brated In his home State of Texas as a rodeo champion. Charles J. Finger, the author, was Guion’s first music teacher. Finger, a young Englishman, had opened a music studio in San Angelo, Texas, in 1902, when the seven-year-old Gulon began his weekly train trips of sixty miles to take lessons. But before he had mastered the intrica cies of written music, the child could play by ear the unwritten songs heard among the cowboys and the soul-stirring spirituals sung in the church of his negro mammy. His musical studies led him abroad at the close of his formal schooling in Whipple Academy In Jacksonville, Illinois, and in Poly technic College, Fort Worth, Tex. A t the Royal Academy in Vienna, he studied piano for three years un der Leopold Godoweky, then return ing to New York, spent two more years in study, chiefly self-instruc tion in composition. Then he re turned to Texas as director of the Daniel Baker College School of Music In Brownwood. His research Into the unpublished native songs of the South and West soon bore fruit. "T h e Bold Vaquero,” published in 1919, is credited with being the first published arrange ment of an American cowboy song. Soon followed his widely discussed symphonic arrangement of “ Turkey X n ë S .C ft& 0 lT & - - Best Greeting* MERRY CHRISTMAS and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR M axie’s Confectionery For Last Minute Gifts Give a Box of CANDY John’s Shoe Shop in the Straw," which was played as a piano concerto by Percy Grainger. He has made arrangements of words and music of a great number of cowboy &nd negro songs, and has produced more than one hundred original compositions In various forms from simple songs to full symphony arrangements. David W. Gulon is of French Huguenot stock. His grandfather, John I. Guion, was governor of Mississippi. His father, of the same name, was among the most di in- guished lawyers of Texas at the turn of the century. His moilier. Armour Fentress of Tennessee, was a gifted pianist and singer. He is in perfect physical trim five feet five, erect and alert, wiry, tan ned and distinguished-looking :Ia is an outdoor enthusiast, loves in ride spirited horses, is fond of Eng lish bulldogs and is a collector of antiques of the Southwest. His home in Dallas is one of the town’s finest residences, while ,ds apartment In Washington . e East is one of the most coio. ul studios of that habitat of the in telligentsia. 1937JOYOUS CHRISTiïlflS 1937 m ® ® * w * » * Nordale Furniture Store Phone 94 Music Features and Photo-Syndicate MyFavoriteRecipes 1 FACTS] f F0* — Frances Lee Barton says: — F you’ve rashly promised tne young ones a holiday supper party for their little friends, the menu must be festive, but ,not too much so.
