Member of Party Fined $25 Rliu gating Circumstances. That section of the game laws intended to protect elk is one which almost everybody agrees should be rigidly enforced, but after all, now and then, temptation is presentsd in such forcible way that it : over comes the iudement. When a man contemplates a crime, knowing that with reasonable care he shall not be detected, his own conscience becomes the only deterrent, and any person of indifferent moral lorres and far persuasive powers "Will easily overcome that. Thus, when the opportunity of killing an elk, comes to a hunter in the remote haunts ol such game, it is not dif ficult, in some, instances for the man behind the Jn to justify him self, in taking a shot. , , . Wednesday, Thomas Laskey was before Justice Holgate, of Corvallis precinct, chargad with ki''ing an elk on or about . December ioth, not , far distant from Mary's Peak. Soon after that date the ; killing came to the knowledge of Game Wardens. Wells and Munkers. An investigation follov.jid,wi'h the in sult that Laskey was ar.aignrd for the act as stated.. He pleaded guilty and was fined $26. The fine for killing elk -is from $25 to $500. It is c'aimed , thrt the officer's search for information was imped ed by patties in the neighborhood of the crime, the juiee of the peac; especially being active m the at tempts to balk the wardens. Many families in and about Peek postoffice are known to have partaken of the elk meat and it is not therefore sur prising that the wardens had diffi culty in procuring evidence from residents thereabout. , After all, according to Laskey s statement and that of others, the killing was in a measure, an ac cident, It is claimed that a party were out hunting bear. They came upon an atjimal lying down and without giving doe consideration as to what it might be, Ralph Stevens shot. To the alleged sur prise of those present an elk heifer bounded to its feet with a broken leg. Then Mr. Laskey, as the story goes, killed it as an act of mercy. It is assumed - that this presentation of the' case ' had some weight with Justice Holgate in view of ,the light fine imposed. Six Hundred Acre Land Sale at Mon roe Seven Thousand Five Hundred. P. M.

Brandt, in his writings on the hu man beard, proffers an opinion direct ly opposing that of Darwin that the beard is a hereditary remnant of ani mal growth. According to Brandt It is an acquisition, so that even the occa sional beard of women has a prophetic significance, for as man has overtaken woman to his whole organization so It Is the case also with reference to the beard. But slowly women are follow ing, and now 10 per " cent of them' show a stronger growth. The woman of the distant future would then like wise be adorned with a beard.
