The -fiercer thy cold blasts will blow The bright r until! our hearth fins glow. Let the biting frost nt quiet morn Lny bloom upon the pallid check! Ict where we gleaned Inst sum mer's corn The northern gale Its temper wreak! ;. Beneath thy pall of gleaming snow Will sheltered next year's har vest grow. ' 1 --Andrew Franzen. .-i. There Is sorre stylo about this kind tt weather. This Is the proper season In this countrj to have snow. It re quires snow to make our Irrigation project a success, and that Irrigation project is golnir to work wonders In this valley. JuHt cut this out and a Stw years later you can Quote your Authority for remarking, "I told you no." There are always some, who never, grasp an opportunity until it is too late. It has been less than two years ago. until a mw Irrtgntlng ditch was promoted by ihe La Ornnde Invest tnenl company, and several months, were required to Indues ft number of land owners, through whose posses sions the right of way ran, to take stock. In factj Mime 'Would not. These aarhe persons are now anxiously awalt fflg an opportunity to buy imi in the ditch, and from all indications will wait several years more before another opportunity presents Itself. The land owner in this Vttlley who does not take B Water right when he has a chnnce, ltl always regret It later. lie may not regret It until he offers his place for sale, and then he will find out to what extent the Intending purchaser values water. The snowstorms will fill the reservoir Nature always docs her part u remains for the land owner to do his. ' 4 '" As an experiment Vmntllla county hn hl vi-nr not appointed district road supervisors, but In their steml one general road supervisor. There will be many counties watch the re sults. There Is no iiiintlon but what roads are one of the most unsatisfac tory expenditures in county manage ment. Necessarily so, for the reason there are so ninny roads, and new ones being petitioned for at nearly ever term of county court, that there -never n sufficient amount of money to make all of the roads good. or. in fact, any great portion of them. It Is j always a case of dolm the best you can with the money at hand. 1 The policy of the t'nlon county i-onrt. we believe, is giving as good satisfaction as any system adopted in the state, and that is the commission ers and the county Judge have sub divided the county among themselves and .-:u h personally works In conjunc tion with the supervisors. In this w.i the court ke ps In touch with the needs of the county road Improvement and they know about what it Is costing And where needed the most. What a future is In store for our gnat commonwealth. What a world wide market wc. Hltuated as wo are, on tho Pacific coast, and then what won derful resources and great area. Ore gon contains nearly two and a quar ter million acres mum lhau New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu setts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Delawaro put together, the total population of thesu states ex ceeding 16,000.000. There is no question but what the weather conditions of this state are changing. Last year the Willamette valley had more winter than eastern Oregon, and this has been the case so fur thla winter. i i ProlNWM-ri (initio IiBWS. The Oregon Game and Fish associa tion put Itnelf on record at Its annual meeting as desiring certain changes in the Oregon laws for the protection of game. The alterations will be asked of the coming legislature. Resolu tions were adopted asking that the duck season be limited to from Sep tember 1 to December 1, with a limit of 50 birds In any one week and no sale to markets, says a Portland paper. It will be asked that pheasants be protected except from September 1 to December 1, and that a week's bag be fixed at 10 birds. It Is desired thut no female pheasants be shot nt all and that no sale" be permitted. Practically tho same protection will bo nsked foi quail, except with regard to the fe male blrdH. ' The state will be asked to put boun ties upon the scalps of preying ani mals of Jj each for mountain lions, cougars, wllil cats,' coyotes anu ssunss and 5 cents on crows. Dr. P. L. Longworthy was elected to succeed Dr. Churchman. A. H. Lomax was elected secretary to succeed A. E. (Jebnanlt, wno nas held the office several years. t'OXTIM'K COYOTK TAX. Wallowa County Mim-pincn Hope t.ol Money Il:u'k IYoiii County. to Enterprise, Jan. 7. The News-Rec ord said yesterday: The Wallowa County Woolgrowers' association met in the directors' room of the Wallowa National bank In this city Monday.' There waf a tjarge at tendance of prominent flocHmasters. Hon. J. H. Dobbin and Thomas Mor gan were re-elected president and sec retary of the aasoclatlon, respectively. An assessment of one-half cent a head on tho 192,630 sheep in the coun ty was levied to continue the $1.60 bounty on coyote scalps. It is believed this fund will be swelled by about $1.- 000 from the county, which was given by the wool men several years ago, In the expectation that the state would jive a bounty. That act of the legls latum was turned down and the money contributed by the Wallowa woQlrgowers sent to our county court, wlliCh oka since held It. The statutes provide the court may at its option give a bounty, and tho present court will be asked to do so, thus returning the money to the purpose for which It was originally contributed. The resolutions In regard to forest reserve and the tariff adopted by the stato association at the Heppner meet ing were endorsed with the further recommendation that all grazing land In the national forest not covered with timber bo set out from the reserve.
