The Wet :.
and the
Hungry -.
By Don Knowles

With the season now about to
60 into past history, the local
half-frozen bird hunters are about
ready to call It quits on q ra,..er
unsatisfactory second duck and
goose season. There are still a
few geese in the territory, but
they are high, far and few be-
tween. What little feed that has
been available is badly frozen up
and in spots covered with snow
so that most Of the birds have
headed for Mexico and the COM
mercial frying pan. (Or did you
know that one could hunt COM
mercially in Mexico?).
It is the most sincere hope that
the game commission will give
this area a better break this next
year, for the big honkers are
pretty good at protecting them
selves without any added handi-
cap, and I'm all for game con-
servation as well as anyone.
Whitefish are still providing
winter sport up at Priest Rapids
on the Columbia, and altho !
haven't personally made the trip,
the fishermen whom I have found
that have, have had very good
luck. OF course those Of you
who do try it should without adj
vice really dress for the weather
as that cold breeze down the riv-
er will freeze your pipe even II 1t $
packed with a good anti-freeze
mixture.
According to recent reports re-
ceived from the game and fish
service from Seattle, an added
attempt will be made this year
to increase the planting Of many
lakes throughout the state. Where
these lakes are not suitable for
trout, bass will be planted. In
most of the lakes it will be ne
cessary to poison the present fin
nv inhabitants such as carp and
suuaw fish. For bass stocking 1t
will be necessary first to plant
minnows about three to six inches
long for the bass to feed upon.
This operation has proven success
full in several western Washington
lakes this past year and such a
procedure is now in process at
Kohlotus lake here in this dist
riot. which used to be famous for
its bass and crappies. Fish which

"Doc" Ditch who is running a
small spread near Ukiah, Oregon,
reported that there were as
many as six big elk in his corral
at one time last week.
This reminds me of the recent
distress of many big game hunters
caught in the Blue mountains
area as a result of quick storms
in the area. Some of these hunt
ers were even found scantily
clothed and wearing oxfords. This
may sound foolish to a lot of YOU

New Southeastern Alaska Nautical Chart Issued

SEATTE, (H) - Designed and constructed in response to re- quests by the fishing industry, a new nautical chart covering the south coast of Alaska from Cross Sound to Yakutat Bay, was an nounced last week by Rear Adm L. o. Colbert, coast and geodetic survey director.
 Photographic data appearing on the chart are in greater detail than normally shown on general nautical charts, he said. These ad- ditional details are required by fishermen when selecting desired water depths and bottom types.
 The fairWeather ground is shown on the chart. The blue tint is carried to the 50-fathom curve.
 In addition to the intensive se- lection of soundings, bottom char acteristics are further emphasized by depth curves in continuous black lines, starting at the 75- fathom curve and spaced to in clude the 100, 500, 1000 and l,5GO fathom curves. Recent hydro graphic and topographic surveys by the coast and geodetic survey were used in compilation.
 The extensive glacier areas in the southern Alaska waters are defined. Land areas not covered by the glaciers are indicated by contours at l,O00-foot intervals. Mud flats are shown by green tint.
 The chart measures 32 by 70 inches. Copies may be obtained lt survey district offices.

 The idea is to kill the smell of the oil with which coal is treated to make it dustless. Many people object to the oil smell, Stewar: said.
