Neb., July 7, 1000: 'The fight this year will be to carry out the sentiment of that song we have so often repeated, 'My Country 'Tis of Thee.' If we lose, our chil dren and our children's children will not succeed to the spirit of that song, and celebrations of the Fourth of July will pass away, for the spirit of em pire will be upon us." Think It Over." An Oregonian reporter interviewed George Young, former proprietor of the Occidental Hotel in Portland, one day last week. Mr. Young is now en gaged in wool-growing. He stated that the greatest desire of his life was to learn in advance what was going to be the result of the coming presiden tial election. He was not so much in terested ic who might be elected as in knowing beforehand who was to be the success' ul candidate. If Bryan was to be elected he wanted to know it in time to convert his sheep into gold dollars, and then be would put the money into an old stocking and bury it, and wait for the clouds to roll by. In speaking of tbe sheep industry, Mr. Young told of the trouble and ex pense he had been to in killing off coyotes, and blamed the selfishness of Portland people, who opposed in the Legislaturethe paying of a bounty on coyote scalps. He said that the city was dependent on the country, and vice versa, and that because there were no coyotes in Portland and no sheep and chickens there for them to klil, was no just reason for the citi zens to object to a slight tax to pro vide a fund to aid in exterminating coyotes.
