we would appreciate any favor in that

Henry Cram was in from his farm
on Ochoco last week and informed our
reporter that there was every indi
cation of renewed activity at the
Howard mines in the ipring. gome
litigation that had been indulged in
heretofore has been settled and those
interested in the mind art sanguine
that tbey have a good thing in them,
and will show their good faith by their

ject and it is only a matter ot, time
when these mines will be producers as

Dr. Belknap received last week from
Portland the first prise winner at the
poultry show in the Buff Plymouth
Kpck list of chickemk This is a -fine

dition to the doctor's already fine col
lection ot birds. This rooster scored a
total of ninety points and is said to be
One of the finest on the coast. The
doctor has one heu that has laid 122
engs and has set three times this sum

breaker. Judge Brink also has a lot
of these chickens and is fairly proud
of his pens. He and the doctor are
the only breeders of this strain of
poultry in this county that we aro
aware of. - - .-
George Millican was down from
Pine mountain the latter part of last
week and reports stock looking well
out that way, and no snow on the
ground, in fact it did not lay on as
long out there as it did in this section
of the county as there seems to have
been an upper warm current in the
atmosphere at that time. Mr. Milli
can stated that the Indiaas had been
doing considerable hunting out that
way this fall and that one them told
him that he had killed fourteen deer.
This matter should be looked into by
the state game warden and see it a
stop cannot be put to such wholesale
slaughter in the future. The Indian
has no more right, to slaughter the
kame than has the white man and it
is only the strict enforcement ot the
game laws that will preserve even afl
occassional specimen of the Mule deer
for future generatious to gate upon
and wonder at the changes time has
wrought. ,., . : ... , .-. . .4 i, i-
