successful examination.
Hon. Charles Edwards, Secre
tary of the Democratic Congress
ional Committee will, by the terms
of an election bet, eat the silk hat
of a Washington correspondent- in
the presence of twenty newspaper
men.
While we have not naul much about
the matter heretofore it is now time
to make a statement in this regard.
So far as we are able to learn there
is a large majority of the tax pay
ers of tin's county who oppose the
continuance of the am In bounty,
I
The sheepmeu of course, favor its,
retention, ht as they are only a
part of the whole people they can
not always have their way in Buch
matters as pertain to tho public
good. The farming communities
as a whole are opposed to tho boun
ty being retained and in many
caws make the claim that the
enormous increase in the popula
tion of jack rabbits is direct!)' at
tributable to th coyote scalp boun
ty; This is a matter of conjecture
merely, for there has been great in
creases in tho" rabbits throughput
eastern Oregon in times past with
out any scalp bounty being on any
kind of wild animals; therefore
that matter can lay over for futher
discussion in the future. The mat
ter directly before the people is
whether there is any beneficial re
sults to accrue to the taxpayer in
proportion to the expense incurred
There is no Use in taking into con
sideration any individual opinion
on the subject for the reason that

General Corbin emphatically re
commends the restoration" of the
canteen at which it was; .permitted
to sell beer, as an antidote for the
grog shops at which bad whiskey,
gin, etc. are sold to the men. Many
of the best officers in the army
agree with the General that the
canteen is the lesser of two evils,
but it is doubtful if Congress will
ever have the courage to restore ' it
and so oppose that element which
prefers its own way and "no com
promise" to the best way.
Our Future I'roBp.--
As the time of general thanks
giving and praise draws near let us
look into the future as well as the
past and see what there is in .store
for the coming year. The present
weather conditions bode well for a
large amount of snowfall in the
mountains this winter and that is
a. certain source of a large, amount
of water for next summer's crops.
The continued rainfall at short in
tervals insures the thorough soak
ing up of the soil, which will bring
returns in the increased growth of
grass on the hills and in the vales
that under dry conditions produce
little or nothing for the sustenance
of stock. These conditions coupled
with the fact that there has been
large additions made to the culti
vated area of the county are causes
for thankfulness. The deposit of
snow in the mountains of this
county is a storehouse of future
wealth, for upon that alone are we
dependent for our crops. So long
as the enow remains in any quani
tity on the mountains, just so long
will the summer showers be fre
quent and lasting and from this
. supply is drawn the supply of
water for the numerous irrigating
ditches. From this source is de-.
rived the numerous stacks cf alfal
fa that dot the fields and stock
yards in autumn and on which the
herds fatten during the early days
of winter.
Let us all feel thankful for the
harvest that has been garnered and
for the bright prospects for the
coming year. Let Thanksgiving
be a joyful season and let us
all devote a portion of our time
to the consideration of the duties
we owe our fellow man and to the
contemplation of the many mer
cies of Him who doeth all things
well.
The Scalp Bounty Law.
bounty? Feoond; what is lh$ sav-
jng.to pie stock'grotetS'.lii com
plex question is the only"matte to
be considered in discussing the
question of Iher annulment or re-en-actment
of the scalp bounty
law. ; If Jhe. -expense has been
largely in excess of the benefits de
rived, then 'repeal the law by all
means, hut if it is found that it has
been of more benefit than expense
then retain it on the statute books.
There is another phase to the
question that should not be ignored
and that is the matter of a bounty
on rabbit scalps. The farming
Communities in the Haystack and
Trout creek regions are in need of
some kind of aid in the natter of
the extermination of the rabbits
that have become a menance to
crops in those sections. Several
petitions were presented at the last
term of the Commissioners court,
but considerasion of the matter was
continued until the next mee'.ing.
Now this matter should be taken
up at the next term and carried to
a conclusion one way or the other.
A small bounty placed on the rab
bits for a" short time would be of
material advantage in extermin
ating the pests and would be of
nnrileasUreable value (o the com
munities affected. The money paid
out for these bounties would not
leave the county and for that rea
son no one would be materially the
poorer for having it placed on the
rabbits. Further, the. farming
communities are surely as much in
need of protection as the stock
growing communities, as they pay
their tixes the same and are the
backbone of any country. We do
not believe in unjust discrimina
tion in any event and as the sheep
men have had the benefit of the
coyote bounty, if it has been a ben
efit, there is no reason why the
farmer should not have the benefit
of a rabbit bounty, for a time at
least, until it can be tested.
