Conner, of WUdoryllle, ' deputy game warden for Josephine county, in au interview with the Grants Pass Courier, says: As to destruction of deer by cou gars and ooyotee, Mr, Conner is con vinced tbat one cougar will kill more deer In a year than a dozen hunters. Coyotes also kill many deer, running down tbe fawns, and also catching grown deex when they can frighten them and oh use them into toe snow, during tbe winter season. A bounty paid for the killing of cougars, espe oally, from the game fund, Mr. Con ner thinks, would be ' profitable In vestment to hunters, Mr. Conner last month took' a ten days1 trip to the Lower Illinois valley to learn if there were hunters there violating tbe game laws. While on the trip he did Botne hunting himself and hud fine success. While ou Sil ver creek they killed nine bears, one being a cub, all the others being largo, two weighing ovor iCO pounds each. Thuy brought considorable bear moat home witb them, for when it is curod it is equal to tbo beet of bucou. They also got thirty gullona of oil from the bears, Iu other game they killed vrh'le on the trip two largo cou gars, three wild cais and two foxes. They shot at a coyote, but ho was too far to get him. The coyotes aro con sidered the most , dillicult of game to kill, for they are too shy to be trap ped and they are such adepts at sueak- liig through the brush tnat thoy sol dom can be seen. While good bunt ing dogs will put a bear or a cougar up a tree in a short chase, but whuu the dogs get on the trail of a coyote that wily brute is not so foolish as to climb the first tree he comes to, even if he could, as does a bear or a cou gar, but he immediately starts on a hike across the hills that lasts as long as tbe dogs see fit to stay in tbe race. With plenty of food and little danger from hunters she ooyotes are increas iug iu Southern Oregon and havo be come a soourge to tbe farmers. Chickens, pigs, sheep and goats are tbeir chief dependence, hut when driven by hunger a lone oalf or a hog is readily attacked and killed. Deer and rabbits are favorite game for tbe coyotes and quail and pheasant eggs aud the young tbat are unable to fly aro delicacies that no coyote lets pass. The great decrease iu quail and pheasant in Southern Oregon is attributed to tbe great increase of coyotes, and though China pheasants have been introduced in Rogue river valley for a number of years and it is a heavy penalty to shoot them, they have inoreased very slowly and are not but little more plentiful than they were five or six years ago. As these pheasants increase very rapidly is every other seotiou where tney havo been introduced it is quite likely that the ooyotes prevent their in crease iu this valley, by eating the eggs and the young birds."

"It is a curious fact," said a New Ot leo.ES man, "that the Cou federate con gress never created a supreme court. The matter was before the -Richmond congress, but no statute was ever passed authorizing such a tribunal. "It was in a debate over this very topic In the Confederate senate tbat the personal encounter between Ben Hill of Georgia and William L. Yancey of Alabama occurred. The senate was in executive session. Tbe Georgia sena tor was speaking in favor of the crea tion of a court of last resort whose powers should In a way be limited. Yancey looked on this Idea with dis favor, and during the course of Hill's remarks he Interrupted with the insulting- statement that Hill had given ut terance to a lie. No sooner had he used the offensive word than Hill, picking up- an Inkstand, hurled it with great force at his defamer.

"Because," was the reply, "the apart ments- are really rented. I thought it a good plan to let folks know they were going off so quickly." 'That is all right In principle,' sold tho agent, somewhat mollified, "but you didn't go about It in tho right way. That Is not the proper kind of a notice.
