"High taxes in Klamath County are given as the reason for a suit filed yes terday in United States lMstrict Court to enjoin the county officials from cashing warrants' already issued to the amount of $425,000, with accrued in terest. Tho suit is based on the provision of tho state constitution which pro hibits a county from going in debt more than J5000 for purposes other than those of the involuntary running expenses of the county. Three big timber companies, large holders of timber land In Klamath County, are the plaintiffs. They are: The Weyerhauser Land Company, of St. Paul: the Western Pacific Land & Timber Company, of Minneapolis, and the Oshkosh Land & Timber Company, of Oshkosh. Warrant Holders Defendants.

"Wanton Recklessness" Charged. The bill of complaint contends that, while the involuntary obligations in volving on the county for 1912 were only $1000 more than those for 1911, the County Court "wantonly and reck lessly" increased the tax levy for gen eral purposes for 1912 to $137,596, whereas it had been but $74,1 S4 for 1911. It is further alleged in the bill that for 1913 the general levy has been in creased to $254,827, although there had been no change in the general needs of the county. It is also contended that the out standing general indebtedness of the county for both voluntary and invol untary purposes on January 1, 1911, wa only $91,792.23. Against this alleged fact it is set forth that the amount of the warrants outstanding against the general fund of the county on February 28, 1914, was $314,382.

His fame rests on his exquisite portrayal of the old-fashioned well on the home farm at Scituate, Mass. "The O.i Oaken Bucket was composed one summer day when living on Duane Street, New York. He came home one afternoon overcome with the heat "and draining a glass of cold water said to his wife, That is very refreshing, but how much more refreshing it would be to take a good long draught from the olJ oaken bucket I left hanging in my father's well at home." Thus inspired, he gav- the world that matchless poem and song, "The Old Oaken Bucket," one of the "heart songs" which will live as long as the English language is spoken.

Coyotes of Lincoln, Malheur. Clack amas and Josephine Counties have a right at this time to imitate a laugh ing hyena, it they are able, for they have successfully "put over" a correct imitation of a timber wolf on officials of the aforementioned counties. Had they been as successful in get ting: by with their imitation specialty before W. L. Finley, State Biologist, it might never have been known how ef fectually and boldly a coyote may ape his betters. At a recent meeting of the State Fish and Game Commission that body de clared a bounty of 20 on wolves. The coyote bounty is 11.60. Thougli timber wolves are rather scarce, Mr. Finley began to laud the effectiveness of the increased bounty and predicted the quick riddance of the pests, which seemed imminent at the rate, they were being killed. Several counties reported paying the 20 for wolf skins, brought in. Mr. Fin ley finally became suspicious, as in his tours through the state he has seen few wolves. He wrote to the County Clerks asking them to send in the hides. These were forthcoming. When the bundles were unwrapped eight big furs were displayed. But there en tered the hitch. They were not wolf furs, but coyote. The Fish and Game Commission will not - recognize the claims against it from these counties, so it looks like the four counties will be out $37 each, the difference In bounty on two wolf hides and two coyote skins.
