G. Stephenson brought the report into Lakeview the first of the week that ten bucks out of a number that he has been sum mering for a number of local sheepmen, have died as the re sult of being bitten by a mad coyote and he fears that more of them will go mad within the next few days. In addition to this both of Mr. Stephenson's sheep dogs were bitten by the same coyote that appeared among the bucks. The dogs were immediately muz tled. A few days ago they showed symptoms of going mad and were tied up. Within a short time it was seen that both of them were rabid and so Mr. Stephenson killed them. ' The covote that bit the bucks and the dogs appeared at the Frank Loveless place about Aug ust 8, and after engaging his dogs in a fight, went on to Mr. Stephenson's place where he got into the middle of the bucks and proceeded to bite his way out They pursued the animal for a time but due to darkness they had to give up the chase. l.ater: E.

The coyotes are so bad in that section of the country that he is moving the bucks, 960 in all, to the Cogburn place south of town where he has secured 600 acres of pasture. The bucks passed through town this morn ing. One of the animals went mad just north of town. In addition to this Willard Duncan, who was in town the first of the week from Valley Falls, said that he had to kill his dog last Thursday as the animal had gone mad.

The building of the railroad brings about conditions that require careful considera tion and it is up to the busi ness men to be in readiness to meet such emergencies as may arise that are the country. Five Million Hunters In the United States. Oregon Spertsman: There are fi.OOO.OOO hunters in the United Slates. This rather astonishing tatnent was made the past week to the national conference on American game breeding and pre serving held in New York. It is no wonder that game is extinct in so large a part of the country. It has sometimes been thought that strict game laws are not democratic. Kvery farmer's boy cherishes the privilege of getting out with his gun. A hunter's li cense law, with a small fee, looks aristocratic to the farmer, creat ing a privileged class. But the result of free game shooting appears, at the present time. Most men to get a big bag, have to travel many miles and run an expense bill of railroad fares and hotel charges. This is not a democratic condition of things. This country was generally rich with all kinds of wild game. Kvery variety had its value. Most of them added each an ele ment of beauty, color and life to the woods. Then comes man, blazing away regardless of timeB and seasons. Today many of our finest varieties are extinct or practically so. When game was abundant hunters were satisfied to get out after real vermin of the woods, the varities that are destructive.

It was prepared by the office of the secretary of the interion. So much work and time were put into investigations on the measure that it came in too late for passage. Night hearings were held at the home of Secretary Lane which were attended by myself and many other Western and Southern senators and congressmen. "If passed the measnre will permit capital to lease and de velop the vast resources included in the public domain. At the same time it is a bad bill for the land grabber because the govern ment retains possession of the lands." Senator Chamberlain said that done so. H. W. Foght, of the U. S. department of rural educa tion, had pictures taken of the work exemplified in the Palace of Education and will present the Oregon rural methods in a special bulletin soon to be sent broadcast throughout the nation. Several foreign commissioners have gone into Oregon methods exhaustively, and will adopt them in their native lands. The ex hibit of the Portland school of trades, the public schools of that city and the manual training and art work of the High Schools of Oregon, as shown in the Oregon building, has attracted many to the building, and the interest has been such that none can doubt the universal confidence that Oregon schools are doing in ad vanced work along right lines. on the former basis.
