SHORT COURSE Faculty Desire Registration of Those Who Contemplate Taking Courses Next Month in Arrangements Short Course by (Contributed) Arrangements for the Short Course to be Riven at the High . School during the month of Feb ruary are being made as rapidly as possible. Over a hundred cir cular letters, containing infor mation concerning the work to be given during the course, as well as registration blanks, have been sent out to prospective stu dents in all parts of the country. Large, well arranged iiosters, giving a brief synopsis of the subjects to be studied in the dif ferent classes during the course, have been sent to every commu nity in the county, with instruc tions to post in conspicuous places. The newspapers have given the course liberal space in their columns, thus greatly aiding in bringing it before the public In fact, evtrylhing possible has been done to give the course the publicity it merits, and no thing remains but for the people to send in their names for regis tration and then come and lake advantage of the opportunities offered. As yet, however, but few persons have returned the registration slips which were sent out. It is the earnest request of the management 'hat those people who expect to take work in any of the classes send in their names as well as the courses desired, at their earliest possible conven ience in order that proper ar rangements may be made for their accommodation. The ap proximate number of students to be handled in each of the classes is particularly important in some phases of the w.ork. millinery. This is the first Short Course ever offered by a High School in the state of Oregon, and now that Harney County has taken in a numher of progresi Ive lines, being the first to have a Far mers' Week and one of the first FRIEND OF THE PRODUCER Burns Meat Market and Packing Plant BACON.

LATEST DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE NOTES (From Our I'm t lioxl Correspondent) At the recent stock Hhow held at the Portland Union Stockyards a largo number of Shorthorn entile were sold at auction, indi vidual animals bringing record breaking prices. In commenting on this feature of the show. Man ager O, M. Plummer says: "The Shorthorn sale was very satisfactory to consignees as well as to those who secured animals. The spreading of this good breed of cattle augurs much for the beef industry in this western country. Among some of the usual results of the sale may be noted the follewing: Shorthorn Bull, Clifton King, owned by Frank Brown, sold to .1 B. Cornott, of Shedd, for $900 one of tho highest prices paid in I western show ring for many years. Cow, Bonn Beauty, sold for I7Q0. Cow. Lilydale. sold for $610; Both were owned by Frank Brown and sold to H, (1. Keyt, of Berry dale. Bull, Bonn Victor, owned by A. D. Dunn, sold to M. F. Rote, oi t aiitorniH, ior ow. Bull. Pet Minority, owned by J. B. Cornott, sold to Wm. Rettie. of Fossil, Oregon for $680.00." In Portland, on February 16, 16 and 17, will be held the Nineth Annual Congress of tho Oregon Retail Merchants' association. This is one of the most important organizations in the state, having a membership of nearly 3.000. and practically every club and organization in Portland will as sist in receiving and entertaining tne visitors. At the retjUSSj of Senator Lane the Interior Department is taking steps to ascetain the holdings of private owners within tho pur- posed new boundaries of Crater Lake National Bark, with a view to preparing a bill for the recom mended extension of the park. A meeting of all organizations and growers interested in fruit and vegetable by-products will be held in 1'ortland on January 25. A committee appointed at tho conference held at Spokane some nine BgQ expects to be able to make a full reMrt on conditions throughout the Northwest. Hi Suggest a Law Regulat ing Stock Grazing Limit Some of the stockmen of this section have suggested that a range limit should be placed upon neap in this county and that the matter be brought before the coaling session of the legislature. The Times-Herald does not know just how such a matter is disposed of but was under the j impression there was such a law in this state that covered the en tire state. However, it has been staUd to the writer that each, county has a regulation of its own. For instance, he says that j Malheur county has a two-mile limit. It would seem that such a j law should and would apply all over the state. It is possible he j has Idaho contused with that; portion of Oregon as we under- stand theru has been such a law i in that for several years. It is nothing more than justice to all concerned-the sheepman; as well as the cattleman- that such a law should be passed, The homesteader doesn't want the range immediately surround ing his home eaten out by migra tory stock, nor does the sheep man want his own vicinity eaten out by stock other than his own. He wants some protection of his range and it would be of benefit to him as well as to the man who runs other Btock. The Times-Herald suggests that the stock association of this county take the matter up and make recommendations to our representative in the legislature. There should be no doubt of such a bill becoming a law as all con cerned are interested and should bo benefited.

Sunsetters Start New Year Right On the afternoon of the 21th of December, the annual Christ-! mas Day celebration took place at Pioneer school house. The people wero rather slow in arriving, due presumably to the cold weather and to the fuct that some were under the im pression the celebration was not to take place until Christmas day. However towards evening they came thick and fust, from all parts of the valley and l:y t p. m. the school house could barely hole the crowd. The day's festivities, us last year, were opened with a splen did dinner served hy the ladies of the neighborhood.

Perry Lowe thought it better to trust Dick llaskin's t! mule power outfit, than his own 20 horse Buick. Well, maybe he was wise. A real white Christmas, und some feed for the Bachelors. Mr. Al Critchlield will leave for Burns to take charge of the Barber Shop at Marl Brenton's tfo! first of the year. Al being a mighty good fellow It behoves us to pay him a visit when in town. The Misses May Byram and Margold Borrowdale are home from Burns for the Christmas holidays. We think Tom & Mrs. Allen also enjoyed themselves. If you don't believe it auk Mrs. Allen. Mr. Cooley and his bride came over with Perry and Mrs. Lowe. Mr. Cooley's few selections on the violin were greatly apprecia ted. Dick Hoskins as a "Square" dance culler is some "Pumpkins." A solution of our mail service trouble was suggested to the writer. It is thut each and every one of us write a m-rsonal letter to Postmuster (ieneral Burleson and in that way forcibly call his attention to the great need of the people of Callow. How about a rabbit drive in the near future. Mr. Melvin Kundert has just filed on a homestead and is now Joe Raker'H nearest neighbor. Mr. Carl Voyen is seriously contemplating doing likewise. The Mail Box crowd including Mr. und Mrs. Charlie Myers, Mrs. Ada Storts, were entertained on Christmas day by Mr. and Mrs. Tom Allen at the "P" ranch. How about need it. our new hall we Sunsetters Spend New Year at Henney Home On New Year's evening, a crowd of "Sunsetters" gathered Into the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. Nat Henney, and treat ed them to a good old fashioned surprise party. This worthy couple were com pletely surprised, but soon re covered from the shock of having thirty-five or more neighbors flock in on them at once, and a few minutes had everyone busy enjoying themselves. The evening was spent in games of different kinds, music by some of our Sunset musicians, and singing by the crowd. Mr. Henny while not so young in yean as some, was just as spry and young in spirit as any there. Of course Mrs. Henny never will grow old, and she seems to be everywhere at once, always ministering to the comfort and enjoyment of her guests. Refreshments were served at i tn appropriate hour and all seem- ed to take especial delight in stowing the good things away, After making merry, 'till the small wee hours of the morning, ! the crowd dispersed, driving home in the moonlight and wish ing Mr. and Mrs. Henney, many happy and prosperous years among us. By One Who Was There. Coos County Ruling on The Federal Bird Act District Attorney L. A. Lilje- (luist, of Coos County, won his Affhl for ihn B.i...m.v of th I Oregon game law prohibiting the killing of migratory birds from boats propelled or operated by mechanical power over the fed eral act of 11)18, which assumes to take . jurisdiction over this kind of game of the states and invest it in the federal govern ment. This victory came in the shape of a decision by District Judge ' Coke in overruling a demurrer to an indictment brought a year ago against 1 1 ill is Short forshoot- ing canvaanack ducks from a gasoline launch in Ten Mile Lake . . .... in Coos County. By his decision ' Judge Coke follows the recent I decision of United States District ' Judge Triober of the Arkansas Federal court, who held that the; congressional act of 1913 was un constitutional. It is probable, however, that the case will be taken to the highest court in the land. Have your pictures taken at the Sayer Studio. MOTION OVERRULED IN P. LS. CO. LAND CASE Judge Biggs Finds for State in The Cue Involving Title lo 27,000 Acres in The "Red S" Field-Has a Back H s'ory Judge Dalton Biggs of the cir cuit court of this district has rendered a decision in the case wherein the state brought suit against the Pacific Live Stock Co. to recover lands in this Val ley. The land involved cover approximately 27, (XX) acres and are situated in what is known as the Red S Held. Title to this land was obtained many years ago under the indent nity school, state school and swamp land laws. It is claimed in the complaint that the land was secured through fraud and the suit is to recover the lands to fie slate. The case was started early in the summer and can e before Judge Biggs at the Octo ber term of court here when the defendants filed demurrer which was argued and taken under ad- viscment to be decided in cham- bors. Judge Biggs has overruled the demurrer and has given the de fendants 40 days in which to ans wer. This decision is favorable to the state and while the matter will again come before the circuit court it is certain that rejrardless of what comes of it there it will go to the higher courts. This case has attracted wide COyote head examined showed no attention as it brings up legal sjKn8 of the bodiea but thig doc8 matters that require deep thought ' not indicate it was not mad. Dr. and one that is rather far reach-1 Saurman states that Negri bodies ing in character since it applies Hr(. foun(j jn9o per cent of infect indirectly upon many other mat- jed unimalr,. ters of a similar character all over the West. The lands involved made histo ry in the early days in Harney Valley when considerable of it was settled upon by homestead ers and the P. L. S. Co. brought ejectment suits against them and they were removed. Much bit terness was displayed during those times und many local peo ple remember the circumstances. Pasture in Pork Product ior. To make pork production most profl table in all its phases Oregon growers should provide pasture for hojrs whenever possible." says R. E. Reynolds, an exten sive livestock man of the Agri cultural College. ' 'Freeh pastui e has a beneficial effect n the health of the hog besides afford ing nutrients for the ration. While grazing, the pigs obtain considerable exercise, which is essential to economical gains, es pecially in young pigs. It has been proved that cheaper gains can be made in a pasture than in S dry lot. Likewise soil fertility is maintained more steadily, since the manure, which is rich in fertilizing elements, is evenly distributed on the lands pastur- ed. WARNING!

RABIES EXIST AMONG COYOTES AND DOGS Representative State Board of Health Making a Personal Investigation in This Vicinity. Positive Evidence Found in Brains of Coyotes and Dogs. Domestic Animals Die It is now known positively that , coyotes and other animals in this action are infected with rabies, There had been doubts in the i Past and people did not look up - on the matter as seriously as they should. Dr. J. S. Saurman, director of the statu bacteriology laboratories of the State Board of Health, ar rived here from Portland in com pany with Dr. Griffith last Mon day and has been very busy ex amining ftpe&mensj and invest! 'gating the situation in this terri- tory with the result that he has found positive Negri bodies in four out of five coyote brains that he has examined. The head of the dog that bit some 12 head of hogs on the Archie McGowan place on Rock creek was examined and found the case very pronounced Negri bodies being numerous. One According to this authority there is positively but one treat ment for this disease and that is the pasteur treatment from serum made in the labora tories of Washington D. C. and other recognized establishments. This treatment has never failed when the victim has presented himself in time. The treatment is not painful or causes any dis comfiture to the victim. It should begin immediately atter the vic- tim is bitten -that is within a week or ten days. One who has become infecteted should not de- ,lav ,n setting to an experienced . , ' l "y"1 ""B LllttUUll. as it is possible hydrophobia may develop within two weeks or pos possibly less, therefore it is nec essary that the treatment should begin before that period in order to become effective.

Jr. . lah who was bitten by a dog tv o weeks ago, the animal going mad i the next day. It is not known whether he has contracted-the j disease or not but, Dr. Griffith wired for treatment serum and his first will begin today or tomorrow. The pasteur treatment is simi lar to that applied in diptheria, as it is prepared from the bram of a rabid animal. This is ground up and a rabbit is inocculated and the case watched. The time of its death varies, but after deatl the same process is followed b taking its brain and inocculating a third, and so on until a fixed virus is ybtained, that is the ani mal will die in eight days. When this is attained the animals that contain the fixed virus arc taken, the cords removed and a portion of these cords are what constitu tes a dose. It is administered hypodermically, the treatment covers a period of 21 days, the virus used being first with the virulent and gradually coming down to stronger virus until treatment is complete. Accord ing to Dr. Saurman this treat ment renders the patient immune for all time. It should be remembered that this treatment is the only one eyer found to be effective by those who have made a special study for generations. It has never failed when administer d in time. It is not necessary that victims go away to certain hospi tals for this treatment, as it is now successfully handled by every state board of health and physicians of experience. The only cases where this treatment has not had the desired effect is where the patient was not taken in time. The matter of how and in what manner animals become in fected with rabies has been dis cussed more or less and the writ- ( Continued on page 2) Dinner 11.30 to 2 Short order at all hours !
