Roar out thy rage, wild winter
now!
Pour down thy floods from
darker clouds!
Dash torrents down each moun
tain brow!
Or wrap the hills In snowy
shrouds!
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.

There Is sorre stylo about this kind

In this countrj to have snow. It re

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

opportunity presents Itself. The land

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.

gnat commonwealth. What a world

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

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.

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.
