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.
We wish to thank our neighbors
