Want Coyote llouiily I.w.
Sulcm Knuctiueut of a coyot
si'ulp bounty law la strongly urged In
the annual report of the Board ol
8heep CommUsiuners, which was
filed oo Friday. The Hoard assort,
that last year 250,000 sheep, tallied
at from 11,000,000 to $1,400,000,
were slain by coyotes. The Board
ays that effort have been made, by
means of a published pamphlet, to
Instruct sheepmen how to make war
upon this enemy of the industry,
but the opinion Is expressed that
losses not only of sheep, but of
.foata, pigs, calves and colts, will be
enormous until the entire state com
bines through the agency of a scalp
bounty law.
The Board reports that the wool
clip of Oregon for 1907 was 15,
100,000 pounds, valued at 13,121,
300. The average weight of the
Oregon fleece was 8V pounds, the
highest average In any state In the
Union. The number of sheep ex
ported was 260,000, the value of
which is not given.
Reserve Is Not Enough.
Pendleton President J. N. Bur
gess, of the State Woolgrowera' As
sociation, has called a moetlng of the
executive committee for April 10, In
Pendleton, at which time 'a petition
will be framed and forwarded to the
Forestry Bureau. This will request
that for this year only an Increased
number of sheep above the allot
ments be allowed on the National re
serves In Oregon. It will be asked
that the number be left the same as
last year at least. It is aald that if
the sheepmen are compelled to sell
off now to the number they are al
lowed to take on to the reserves, it
would mean a great sacrifice, since
the present market is much off owing
to the recent financial disturbance.
Sheepmen claim there is an actual
shortage of mutton sheep In the
United States, and that the present
low prices are caused by the finan
cial disturbance and not because of
an over supply.
Killed by a Freight Train.
Bugene A young worklngman,
whose name la supposed to be Fred
W. Johnson, waa Instantly killed tn
tbe railroad yards at this place on
Friday afternoon. He attempted to
board a moving southbound freight
train and missing his hold was
thrown to the ground near tbe raftte.
Ha raised his head, which waa struck
by the oil-box at the end of the Jour
nal. HI skull waa crashed. Hie
feet were then thrown under the
wheels and cut off. Death wa in
stantaneous. Hood River Cleans Up.
Hood River Friday waa clean-up
day at Hood River, and a number of
members of the Woman'a olub went
about the otty la an automobile noti
fying business men and householders

present a more orderly apearance.
Many complied with the requeat and
heaps of barning rubbish and a much

Senator Falton Sued for Slander.
8alem United States Senator C.
W. Fulton la defendant In a 15,000
damage ault brought against him by
J. 8. Smith, who alleges that Fulton
slandered him In bis address at the
opera house Saturday night The
papen were served upon Fulton aa
he emerged from the opera house
after tbe meeting, and It Is sup
posed tbat Smith had planned to
bring the salt and merely awaited
the delivery of the speech which
would furnish the basis for the ault.
Homage to Oregon Hones.
Salem Perfect weather, a mil ot
horses, worth over $1,000,000, and
a crowd ot 10,000 people made the
Salem horse show on Saturday a
complete success. Farmers from all
parts ot this seotlon of the Willam
ette Valley were In attendance and
manifested deep Interest. The
horse show has aroused new Interest
In horse breeding, and the occasion
will be of Incalculable benefit to
Western Oregon, which, by reason of
Its climate, Is particularly adapted to
horse raising.

j Ttc Case of j
j Mi S3 flartnctt j
a By MADELINE LEWIS. e
Copyrighted. UK, by P. C. Ea.tm.nL e
When Deacou Juab Whitman called
at Mum Taylor's select aud highly mor
al and refined school for girls to ar
range for the attendance of his ward.
Fanny Hartnett aged seventeen, his
attention was called to the fact tbat
tbe school buildings were surrounded
by a fence eleven feet high; also that
all windows above the first story wen
frosted and impervious to masculine
gaze. Further, no pupil was auowed
outside the fence without a chaperon.
Mlsa Taylor, wbo had barely turned
forty-seven and carried the Idea tbat
It waa twenty-seven Instead, then went
on to speak of tbe lecture she gave
every Wednesday night, of tbe can
tuken to keep newspapers and novate
from her pupils, of the early hours for
bed and of the fact tbat the only man
about the Institution, except a couple
of servants, was Professor Balch, wbo
had charge of the higher mathematics
and waa aa old bachelor of the most
incorruptible principles.
Then she had a number of questions
to aak about the young lady, and tbe
deacon hair to admit that now aud then
the latter gigged, she also chewed
gum. ahe bad been caught reading
novels, she bad bad a beau, aud she
loved to go to a clrcua.
"In fact," said Miss Tnylor, "she Is
what you would call flip?"
"Y-e-s, I guess so. Not too flip, but
a little Hip."
"I see. Well, while this Is not a re
formatory, we do now and then take
In a pupil In order to cure her of flip
pancy. The fee la a little larger, but
wo warrant a perfect cute."
Tbe deacon was willing to pay a lit
tle more, and the financial end waa
soon settled. A week later tbe new
pupil arrived. Perhaps Miss Fanny
was flip. At least, she was in good
health and spirits. Inclined to look on
the bright aide, and ahe could sing
some and whistle mora. In the village
when she had been brought up she
was considered something ot a tom
boy, but the phrase was not used to
her detriment
She wss given to understand by Miss
Taylor what was what and sent to her
dormitory. She offered no protest or
argument bat from tb way she set
ber Jaw and compressed her lips Miss
Taylor anticipated rebellion ac no dis
tant date.
On of ber methods of compelling
tbe young ladles to walk tb chalk
Una was quarterly reports. Every
three month each of tbe girl wa
called Into tb private lectors room
and her derelictions announced to her
and recorded on a blank.
It depended upon tbat girl to make
Immediate Improvement or the report
would be mailed away to father r
guardian. As a matter of fact, no re
port waa ever mailed, as such actton
might have resulted tn financial loss tn
tbe school, but the threat had always
proved a very effective weapon.
It came to be whispered about as tbe
regular quartor day drew nigh tbat
Mlsa Taylor bad been saving up many
complaints against Miss Fanny and
that then most be many team and
promises to keep a report from tb
hands of tbe deacon.
Much curiosity and considerable anx
iety won fett, save by tbe delinquent
herself. She giggled and whistled and
bribed tbe grocer's boy to smuggle in
gum, and when tbe fatal day at length
arrived abe went smiling to tbe sacri
fice. Miss Taylor kept ber on pins slid
needles for three or four minutes to
let tbe scan strike tn and then soberly
began:
"Mlaa Hartnett, I have received sev
eral complaints against yon and have
grouped them under the term counts.
I will read them to you:
" "Count 1. That on the 3d of Sep
tember, two daya after your arrival
here, you tried to tear a board off the
fence hi order to look out It la believ
ed, but not absolutely proved, that
there waa a young man on tho other
side of the fence at the time.
" 'Count 3. That on tbe second week
of your arrival yoa made use of such
terms as "bully gee," "come off," "too
thin," etc.
"Count 8. That on the third week
you wen chewing gum and eating car
amels.
" 'Count 4. That while going to and
returning from the postofllce in charge
of Miss Lee you refused to cast your
eyes down or look in another direction
on meeting various old and young men.
" "Count S. That on a certain night in
the fifth week of your arrival and
while you were supposed to be asleep
In bed you were as a matter of fact
sitting up in bed and singing about an
old darky whose name was Uncle Ned.
" 'Count 6. That on one occasion you
mounted to the roof of your dormitory
by way ot the stairs and scuttle and
waved your handkerchief at some
young men playing baseball.
" 'Count 7. That It ia believed, though
not proved, that an epistle of a senti
mental nature waa tied to a stone and
thrown over tbe fence and that It was
meant for you, and you received It and
boasted that Cnde Sam didn't run ail
tbe poatofflcea In the country. Then
an reasons for believing that on the
next night you threw a letter over tn
response.
" 'Count 8. That at various times
you have argued tbat there was noth-
Ing wicked about the circus or tbe tbe -
ater and that yoa have aald that you
pitied old maids; also that you have j "Well, If you will have It the conse
glggled when my name and condition qnencea be on your own head, Mary.
In life have been discussed. Further,
that you have said that you would b
married beforo you were twenty-one.
Further, once more, that you have re
ferred to Professor Balch aa lopsboul
dered and squint eyed."
Then an the respect' counts.
Miss Hartnett Just as they have been
prepared to go to your guardian, and
now you may tell me what yoa have
to say In offset-that Is, I don't suppose
you have anything to say."
"Oh, yea, I have!" replied Miss Fan
ny as she drew a paper from ber pock
et "Yes, I have something to say, and
I have also grouped It under tbe term
