False Report About
Cattle Starving
A story has been sent out from
Portland that gives a false Impres
sion of the stock situation in Crook
county. Cattle are not dying from
starvation on the hills around Priue
vtlle. There has been no particular
loss to speak of this season. The
crucial stage has not yet arrived.
The nest few weeks will tell the
story. If grass can I had ou the
ranges there will 1 no greater loss
this season than usual. Such stories
as the following sent out by the
"string lieud," who is paid by the
yard, hurt the country:
Portland, Ore. Cattle on the
ranges around Prineville are djiug
from starvation owing to the hard
winter through which they have
been forced to go. The national
forest service will this week endeavor
to get some aid to the cattleiueu.
Kvery ounce of feed to be bad in that
country has been used up to fight off
the rigors of the winter.
A long distance call from Prineville
to the national forest service olliee
in this city was received, begging
the service to open to the cattlemen
the Deschutes national forest. Many
of the valleys through the reserve are
clear of snow and it Is the last re
source for the cattlemen. The great
est trouble has arisen near Priueville,
Pawliua and Saplee and on the
Crooked river. The cattle will be
taken about 50 miles north of the
Crooked river and. Into the creek
bottoms which lead out from the
national forest- Considerable bunch
grass is to be found In this section
even at this time of the year.

Who Are To Be Enumerated
The explicit and lengthy priuted
Instructions to the census enumer
ators, which have been prepared by
the United States Census Bureau,
give a clear Idea of the character ol
the answers expected from the
people of the United States with re
gard to the questions in the popula
tion schedule to be carried In the
Decennial Census April 15 next.
AU answers are to have reference
solely to the "Census Day," which Is
April 15. Persons living ou that
day, but who died after It and before
the enumerators call, are to be
counted, but persons born after
April 15 are not to be Included In the
count. Persons who were single on
April 15 are to be reported single, even
though they have married subse
quently and before tbecanvaoser has
called. This Is true, similarly, of
persons who Itecnme widowed or
divorced after April 15.
The census law provides that all
persons shall be enumerated at their
"usual place of abode" on April 15.
This means the place where they
may lie said to live or belong or the
place which is their home. As a rule
the usual place of abode Is not the
place where a person works or
where lie eats, but where he regularly
sleeps. The enumerators are cau
tioned, however, that where a man
happens to sleep at the time of the
enumeration may not be the place
where he regularly sleeps.
There will be a numler of persons
havlntheir usual places of abode in
enumeration districts who will lie
absent April 15. These are to be In
cluded and enumerated after the
facts regarding them have been ob
tained from their families, relatives,
acquaintances, or other persons able
to give the Information. For In
statee, if a memljer of any family in
an enumeration district is tempor
arily away from home on a visit, or
on business, or traveling for pleasure
or attending school or college, or
sick In a hospital, such absent person

BROILED OWL
Ths Ftsling Is Camp 8tfor and Afttr
ths First N.bbls.
I told the gulilet that It would I
better to begtu supper rlfclit away lit
order that we might not set too hun
gry before the owl w as done. I thought
them alow In their preparations for
the meal. It this curious, too, for 1
bnd promised them they should have
piece or the bird. 1H.-I was generous.
lie said he would giro his to Charles;
that he never really cared much for
birds anyhow. Why. ouce. he snld. he
shot a pnrtridge and gnve It away, aud
he was hungry too. lie gave It to
boy that happened along just then,
aud when uuotlier partridge flew up
be didn't even offer to shoot It. We
didn't tnke much stock In that story
until It dawned upon us that he had
shot the bird out of season, and the
boy bad hnpieued along just In time
to be Incriminated by accepting It as a
present It was better to have blul as
a partner than a witness.
Wood was gathered then, and the
Ore blazed. The owl's hrcaat fat and
fine It looked was In the broiler and
on the fire. There It cooked slid cook
ed. Then It cooked some more aud
sent up an appetizing smell. Now aud
then 1 said I thought the time for It
bad come, but there was a burden of
opinion that mote cooking would bene
fit the owl. Meantime we had eaten a
pan or two of trout and a few other
things,. the bird, of course, being later
In the bill of fare. At most dinners 1
bave attended this course Is contem
plated with joy. It did not seem to be
on this occasion. Eddie agreed with
Del that he bad never cored much for
bird anyway and urged me to tuke bis
share. I refused to deprive Mm of it
Then he said be didn't feel well and
thought he really ought not to eat any
thing more. I said grimly that possi
bly this was true, but that he would
eat the owL
It was served then, fairly divided
and distributed, as food is when men
are on short rations. I took the flr.-it
taste I was always venturesome a
little one. Then Immediately 1 wished
I had accepted Eddie's piece. But
meantime be had tasted, too a miserly
taste and then 1 couldn't bave got the
rest of It for money.
For there was never anything so
good as that breast of young owl. It
was tender. It was Juicy, It was as del
icately flavored as a partridge almost
Certainly It was a dainty morsel to us,
who bad of late dealt so largely In Csb
diet Had we known where the rest
of that brood of owls had flown we
should bare started after them then
nnd there. Albert Blgelow Taine la
