Lookout for Hydrophobia
Crook county has a well-developed
case of hydrophobia. Emil Von
Lake, who has been working at the
Ammons sawmill on Maury moun
tain, 45 miles southeast of Prine
yille, was bitten by a coyote Mon
day noon while going from the mill
to his tent a short distance away.
The animal slipped up behind him
and fastened its teeth into the
fleshy part of the left. hand. So
firmly were its teeth embedded
that the animal was lifted a couple
of feet from the ground before its
hold was broken. The coyote did
not seem a bit afraid. It trotted
along just ahead of Von Lake until
Bert Demaris had time to get his
rifle and shoot it
Dr. Rosenberg was informed by
telephone of the occurrence and
was asked what to do in the prem
ises. He advised them to cauterize
the wound immediately with car
bolic acid and alcohol and then lose
no time in getting to Portland.
Von Lake was to take the head of
the coyote with him so that the
bacteriologist of the State Board of
Health could examine the brain for
rabies. He did so and last evening
Dr. Rosenberg received a wire from
the secretary of the board stating
Prineville Public
Schools Opened Monday
Last Monday morning a new
regime was ushered in for the
youngsters of Prineville when the
public school bell called together
one of the largest and happiest
crowds of youngsters ever as
sembled on the public school
grounds. Principal Peole and his
corps of teachers were in their
respective places early to greet the
pupils who were glad to return to
school.
The pupils of the various grades
were given their lists of supplies
and excused until Tuesday morning
when the regular school work was
taken up.
The industrial work will be con
tinued throughout the grades and
it is expected that this line of work
will be better than the excellent
work done last year.
Prineville is the only public school
in Crook county that does regular
grade work in manual training,
sewing, music and drawing. This
work is all done by the regular
teachers which means that the
board of directors take special
pains in securing teachers who are
able to carry it on.
The entrance class now numbers
24 with several more to enter.
This, with the A class from last
year, makes the first grade number
40 pupils, which is the largest
grade in school.
Regular work is being done dur
ing the morning session but the
pupils have been dismissed after
noons to enable the teachers and
A MISTAKEN IDEA
There are some people who still resort
to drugged pills or alcoholic syrups to
overcome colds, nervousness or general
debility, and who know that the pure,
unadulterated nourishment in Scott's
Emulsion is eminently better, but refrain
from taking it because they fear it may
lead to excessive fat or obesity.
This is a mistaken idea, because Scott's
Emulsion firststrengthensthebodybefore
making flesh. Its blood-forming proper
. ties aid nature to throw off sickness by
building health from its very source, and
flesh is formed only by its continued use.
Avoid alcoholic substitutes for SCOTT'S,

UNIVERSITY Of OREGON
in Crook County
that the coyote had a pronounced
case of hydrophobia.
The State Board has telegraphed
the Pasteur Institute of New York
for serum with which to counteract
the effects of the virus received
from the bite.
Dr. Rosenberg says that several
mad coyotes have been reported
from Camp creek. The animals
were frothing at the mouth and
had other symptoms of madness,
Ed Parker encountered one of them
at close quarters and he beat it for
the bed where he got under the
covers. ,
The doctor says he does not want
to be thought an alarmist but he
wishes to impress upon parents and
cattlemen the importance of caution.
Two dogs were recently bitten by
coyotes and other animals may have
been. If cattle act queerly look
out. The suspected animals should
be isolated or killed. One man
near Pendleton last fall lost f 2000
worth of cattle and horses in no
time. The State Board telegraphed
the doctor its appreciation of the
prompt way he handled this case.
It takes from two weeks to six
months for the dreaded virus to
develop, the doctor says, all de
pending upon the condition of the
person or animal infected.
Large Attendance at
Crook County High
Crook County High School began
the year of 1914-5 Monday with
prospects for an unusually prosper
ous year. The attendance was large
with the promise of fifty more stu
dents entering during the first
month.
Special instructors in normal
training and domestic science have
been added to the teaching staff.
The school curriculum is now com
plete in every detail. There is no
better equipped high school in the
state than the one that offers its
advantages to the youth of Crook
county and Central Oregon.
The high school wants every boy
and girl in the county who is not in
attendance at their home schools.
Come in and register and begin
work Monday. There is nothing
better you can do, boys and girls.
Graduates are entering the univer
sities and doing good work, or they
are holding responsible positions
that prove the efficiency of the work
done here. Be one of them. It
means success for you.
Good girls, good rooms, good food,
good times at Walker Hall. The
girls all say the new house matron
is a fine cook and gives them plenty
to eat. Room for eight more girls.
Janitor wanted at Walker Hall,
the girls' dormitory. He must
make fires, chop and carry in wood
and sweep the walks and corridor.
Work will be allowed on board and
pupils to get the school exhibit in
shape for the fair and to enable the
pupils to enjoy the day fireworks
which have aroused great interest
among them.
This year additional incentive is
given to encourage punctuality and
perfect attendance. All grades
having no tardy marks and having
an attendance of 90 per cent or
above for one month will be given a
one-fourth holiday, while all grades
having no tardy marks and perfect
attendance will be given a half
holiday.

The John M. McPherson case was
put on trial last Thursday. He was
again convicted and sentenced

after sentence was passed Mc
Pherson's attorney's filed a notice
of appeal to the supreme court on
the ground that the indeterminate
sentence law is unconstitutional
This will be the first time that this
question has come directly before
the supreme court and the result

interest. McPherson is out on
bonds.
