(AP) — Photos from automated trail cameras on Mount Hood appear to show a rare mountain fox that's known to exist in California, but isn't well documented in Oregon. Scientists hope to get hair and saliva samples for DNA tests that could confirm it is a Sierra Nevada red fox, one of the rarest mammals in North America. The fed- eral government is con- sidering Endangered Species Act protection for them. Those figures are far higher than the nation's unemployment rate, pro- jected to be 8.2 percent this year and 7.9 percent in 2013. The U.S. econo- my will remain weak for years, the forecast said. That will contrast to California's economy, which forecasters said will gain speed in the next two years. It could take seven or eight years for the U.S. to recover all the jobs that it lost during the 2008-2009 recession, forecast Direc- tor Ed Leamer wrote. America's educational system must do better if it wants to compete in a global market where many jobs have been automated or moved overseas, Leam- er wrote. ''Good jobs in the Unit- ed States in the 21st centu- ry will require humans to do things that are not suit- ed to the capabilities of faraway foreigners, robots or microprocessors,'' he wrote. ''We need a work- force that can think cre- atively and solve the new problems, not merely data giving rise to opti- mism, there is no real indi- cation that the housing market is on the cusp of a recovery,'' he said. However, California's housing market could recover in the next two years, with building per- mits reaching 130,000 permits in 2014, or double the U.S. rate, Nickelsburg said. Multifamily housing will be popular as people unable to afford to buy homes choose to rent, he said. Photos were taken in March in a wilderness area on Mount Hood above tree line, by cam- eras set out by Cascadia Wild of Portland, Ore., which teaches people to track animals in the wild. ''We didn't realize the for Ben Sacks, a geneti- cist at the University of California at Davis School of Veterinary Medicine, who has been studying the foxes in Cal- ifornia, where they are protected by the state. ''Up until fairly significance of the find- ing,'' said Teri Lysak of Cascadia Wild. ''We've been seeing fox tracks for years and didn't think anything of it.'' Nationally, the percent- age of people owning homes will keep falling, from a peak of 69 percent in 2004 to 65 percent by the end of the year, but the rate of foreclosures appears to have peaked and sales of existing homes are on the rise, forecast Senior Economist David Shulman said. show two different ani- mals, based on their col- oring, she said. They passed the pho- tos to researcher Jocelyn Akins, who is studying wolverines on Mount Adams in Washington. The photos made their way to the Center for Biological Diversity, a conservation group that has petitioned for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the foxes under the Endan- gered Species Act. Akins has also gotten a photo of a red fox on Mount Hood. The news was exciting The photos appear to recently, these western mountain foxes were under the radar,'' he said. Traditionally, red mountain foxes have been divided into Rocky Mountain, Cascades and Sierra Nevada sub- species, but were never really studied because they are so hard to find, said John D. Perrine, a conservation biologist at California Polytechnic State University. A few years ago, the Sierra Nevada red foxes were thought to be down to about 20 animals liv- ing around Mount Lassen in Northern California, at the southern tip of the Cascades. Then another small population was found near Sonora Pass in the Sierras north of Yosemite National Park, Sacks said. Some U.S. Forest Service biologists got 5 trail camera photos north and south of Crater Lake in Southern Oregon between 1993 and 2001. But the last DNA evi- dence of the foxes in Oregon was a skin col- lected in 1939. Then in March 2011, a ski groomer on Mount Hood snapped a photo of a fox with a flip phone, and showed it to Atkins. That led to the trail cam- eras being set on Mount Hood, baited with stinky liquid lures loaded with pheromones that can draw in animals from miles away. ''There was no evi- dence they had gone away,'' said Sacks. ''We knew they were there his- torically. There was sim- ply no information.'' New DNA samples will give scientists an idea how far the popula- tions have more diverse the sam- ples, the more individu- als are breeding. Genet- ic studies on the two fallen: the California populations show they are both small. Sacks said special baited brushes will be set out near Crater Lake to try for hair samples. Sci- entists will also be look- ing for a fecal sample. Lysak said they will be trying for hair and saliva on Mount Hood. The way to get saliva is to put meat inside a sock, and when the animal tries to eat it, they leave a sample behind. ''It seems unlikely those are the only two populations in Oregon,'' Sacks said. ''We know where to look.'' Oh Snap!
