$5 Coyote Bounty Wanted.
Frank Davies of Burns has volun
teered to take up the fight in the
legislature which is now in session
for a f5 bounty on coyotes, and
asks from the stockowners in this
and all parts of the state, accurate
information as to their personal ex
periences with rabies.
Y rite Mr. Davies at Salem, not
Burns, and tell him what you know,
giving names and dates and the
number of stock involved. Mr.
Davies is well able to make this
fight and win. He will do so with
the assistance of the stock people
behind him.
The Journal is being sent, to Mr.
Davies at Salem, and all clippings
covering the various cases that
have come to our notice have been
forwarded also.
A letter has been mailed by us
also to the Union Stockyards at
Portland asking for the support of
that organization and their in
fluence upon the Multnomah dele-
who are usually first to
any legislation of this
gation

The Rabies. Must Be Checked
From Silver Lake, Burns, Lake
view, Canyon City and, in fact, all
points to the soutn and east, come
reports of the spread and alarming
number of cases of rabies.
From all points the reports
sound much the same. Stock of all
kinds is dying on the ranges, or
have been shot to prevent the
spread of the disease.

many cases in one feed lot that the
cattle were moved to another loca
tion to check infection from the
frenzied cattle themselves.
In Plush, Lake county, a coyote
entered the town and was killed in
front of the principal store J of the
place.
In the John Day country the
fight is being taken up by Henry
Ireland, forest supervisor. Whole
sale poisoning of coyotes is re
ducing their number he says.
At Lakeview an order was issued
last week by Mayor D. J. Wilcox
to shoot on sight every unmuzzled
dog that appears on the streets and
the marshal is complying with the
order.
There seems to be a general de
xmand for a $5 bounty throughout
these counties. In view of the
emergency it seems that such action
should be taken by the legislature
during this session.
' The following are copies of some
of the letters the Journal is sending
out:
Hon. Frank Davies, 8alem, Oregon.
Dear Sir: Acting on yotir suggestion, we
enclose data on tue ravages of rabies in
this and other parts of the ntuteand more
information is being collected to be for
warded to you.
We have also written the stockyards
people at Portland asking their support,
and will take other action to lend you
support in this fight.
The Journal will be at your service in
any manner that we can help and should
there be no action taken until this time
next month, there will be a meeting in
Prineville of the stockmen of the stale at
which time the matter will be taken be
fore that body and, no doubt, strong sup
port will be given you at that time.
Wishing you every success in this
matter, we are, yours truly,

the people throughout the interior of the
state.
There will he an effort made by Mr.
Frank Davies of Burns and other members
of the legislature to get some legislation to
exterminate the coyotes, and to have
whatever action is possible taken before
the hot weather comes,
in this fight we ask ami believe we have
a right to expect the support of your or
ganisation, especially with tho Multno
mah delegation. Please let u have your
reply at once as no time should he lost in
getting action in this matter. Yiuirs truly,

Marshal W. R. Pollard has suc
ceeded in clearing the streets of
digs to a notioable extent. The
order made by the council at the
January meeting is being followed.
All dogs from the country are kept
tied while in town. This is a long
step in the right direction and one
for which the marshal should re
ceive due credit.
Triple Alliance of Progress.
O. M. Plummer, Union Htock Yards.
North Portland, Oregon. Dear Sir:
Rabies, which have spread from the
castir.i. borderof the ttite to all purts of
this county and south to the ttite Hi e,
have caused the death of numerous live-
The church, the press and the school
form a triple alliance of progress that
guides the destiny of every cotumun
ity, state and nation. Without them
civilization would wither and die and
through them life may attain Its great
est blessing, power and knowledge.
The farmers of this nation are greatly
indebted to this social triumvirate tor
their uplifting Influence, and on behalf
of the American plowman I want to
thank those engaged In these high
callings for their able and efficient
service, and I shall offer to the press
a series of articles on co-operation
between these Important influences
and the farmers in the hope of in
creasing the efficiency of all by ma
tual understanding and organized ef
fort. We will take up first the rural
church.
The Farmers Are Great Church Build
ers. The American farmer is the greatest
church builder the world has ever
known. He is the custodian of the
nation's morality; upon his shoulders
rests the "ark of the covenant" and
he Is more responsive to religious in
fluences than any other class of cit
izenship. The farmers of this nation have
built 120,000 churches at a cost of
$750,000,000, and the annual contribu
tion of the nation toward all church
Institutions approximates $200,000,000
per annum. The farmers of the Unit
ed States build 22 churches per day.
There are 20,000,000 rural church com
municants on the farm, and 64 per
cent of the total membership of all
churches reside In the country.
The farm is the power-bouse of all
progress and the birthplace of all that
is noble. The Garden of Eden was
in the country and the man who would
get close to God must first get close
to nature.
The Functions of a Rural Church.
If the rural churches today are go
ing to render a service which this age
demands, there must be co-operation
between the religious, social and eco
nomic life of the community.
The church to attain its fullest mea
sure of success must enrich the lives
of the people in the community it
serves; it must build character; devel
op thought and increase the efficiency
of human life, it must serve the so
cial, business and intellectual, as well
as the spiritual and moral side of life.
If religion does not make a man more
capable, more useful and more Just,
what good is it? We want a practical
religion, one we can live by and farm
by, as well as die by.
Fewer and Better Churches.
Blessed is that rural community
which has but one place of worship.
While competition is the life of trade.
It is death to the rural church and
moral starvation to the community.
Petty sectarianism is a scourge that
blights the life, and church preju
dice saps the vitality of many com
munities. An over-churched commun
ity is a crime against religion, a seri
ous handicap to society and a useless
tax upon agriculture.
While denominations are essential
and church pride commendable, the
high teaching of universal Christianity
must prevail it the rural church is to
fulfill its mission to agriculture.
We frequently have three or four
churches in a community which is not
able to adequately support one. Small
congregations attend services once a
month and all fail to perform the re
ligious functions of the community.
The division of religious forces and
the breaking into fragments of moral
effort is ofttimes little less than a
calamity and defeats the very purpose
they seek to promote.
The evils of too many churches can
be minimized by co-operation. The
social and economic life of a rural
community are respective units and
cannot be successfully divided by de
nominational lines, and the churches
can only occupy this important field
By co-operation and co-ordination.
The efficient country church will
definitely serve its community by lead
ing in all worthy efforts at community
building, in uniting the people in all
co-operative endeavors for the gen
eral welfare of the community and in
arousing a real love for' country life
and loyalty to the country home and
tnese results can only be successfully
accomplished by the united effort of
the press, the school, the church and
organized farmers.
