E. Myers, County School Superintendent. LetterbyJudgeSpringer Prineville, Ore., Nov. 6, 1914. I wish to explain to the people of Crook county my position in regard to the $3.09 bounty advertised by the county court lor coyote scalps. The state has quit paying Its share of the bounty and all adjoining counties have re fused to pay anything for scalps. Because I of these facts and because scalps are being rushed in from the boundaries of this county which properly belong to other counties, Mr. Buy ley, who joined with me in the announcement offering the five dol lar reward, now refuses to act in any man ner. Mr. Willis V. Brown was not reached before the announcement and is now op posed to any extra effort on the part of this court, so I am powerless to act, I now find that it would not have been practical to continue the bounty loneY than the time originally set for the extra bonnty, viz: to November 1st, 1914. The county health officer, Dr. Rosen berg, states that many coyotes are now being found dead in the eastern part of the county, as well as cattle, sheep and other livestock. This is believed to be the result of rabies. I would therefore recommond that all our citiiens be on their guard and that the cities of Prineville, Redmond and Bend be on the lookout for dogs from the infected districts. Higned: G. Si'HiNUBR, County Judge for Crook County, Oregon. Card of Thanks.
