APPEAL FOR STATE AID
Bill Providing Appropriation of
$3000 Vnravorahly Reported.
W. T. Shannon Pec I a res
the Need Is Urgent.
PORTLAND, Feb. 13. (To the Editor.)
In view ff the fact that the bill In
troduced at the present session of the
Oregon Ix-Blflature by the Oregon Hu
mane Society, asking for a small ap
propriation of V . to aid in humane
work, was unfavorably reported upon,
me desire to present a partial state
ment of the work which is botng done
by this society, and to show the great
need of state aid.
The following iifi. i are but a very
mall portion of the complaints that are
blng daily received from all parts of
the state, and we would earnestly re
quest that the ways and means commit
tee would carefully examine these reports
and reconsider their former decision, and
realize the great necessity for appropri
ating the above amount In carrying on
this indispensible work:
Daker City. Or.. Feb. M. 1!H. Gentle
men: Will von ubh your influence in se
curing lesisUtioii that will lessen sme
of the cruelties in the marking of live
stock? There are owners in this county,
ow'ncrs of cattle, who cut one ear nearly
off. close to the head, and allow it to
hang by a small -fragment. Nearly
everv one who sees them remarks of the
crneitr. but no steps are taken to pre
vent the practice. Hoping that this
message will not arrive too late, I re
main. H. f-
Hood River, Or.. Feb. 190S- 1 write
to ask you if you please send m con
stitution and by-lawa of the Humane So
ciety. I have succeeded in getting up
an interest and now we are ready to
organize. I H-
Ontario. Or.. Oct. 1, ISO?. Dear Sir:
As we wish to form a branch Humane
Society In our town. I am writing to you
for foundation principles and laws of the
ftate. Anv information on the subject
will r-e gratefully received. E. J.
Hood River. Ur.. May 30. lnns.-Dear
8ir: Seeing frequent articles in the news
papers regarding humane work In Port
land, klnrilv send mo literature, as I
occasionally have work by way of pros
ecuting offenders for cruel treatment of
animals. E. H- H-. lawyer.
Hebo. Or., June . W. Dear Sir:
I received vour phone yesterday and
was very grateful for the kindness your
society had conferred on my wife, and
as voii have received her into your care,
kindly keep me Informed as to her where
abouts. She slipped away from Tilla
mook on the boat and was nearlng Port
land before we knew where she hadgone.
San Francisco. Cal.. May 3. 1907. From
California Society: Secretary Oregon
Humane Society. Mrs. Selddel and her
offspring sailed yesterday for your city.
Kindly keep your eye on this family
and se that her husband supports her.
Our officers say she Is very poor and
destitute.
MarshfteW. Or., Feb. 1. JSM.-W hy is
our mail service so Irregular? The facts
are that the owners of the horses used
in packing the mail from RoHeburg to
this cltv should be prosecuted for cruelty
to dumb beasts. They are making she
kels out of the poor, crippled horses,
which they are using to transport the
mail. T saw four horses, every one of
them limping and groaning tip a 12-mile
grade, often leaving blood on the snow
as a mute testimonial of the asonies
suffered In the trip from station to sta
tion. Surely the Humane Society at Port
land should be allowed an appropriation
by the legislature to carry on the work.
1 saw two horses that stopped in the
trails and laid down while lelng urged
cn by the driver. Their hoofs were split
and the ankles friEhtfulty swollen, to say
nothing of the bleeding shins and fet
locks. One of the horses could not be
jsot up out of the stall on the trip and
threo had to pack the load of four, mak
ing a delay of several hours in coming
ti.rouKh. ''vv
Aumsville. Or.. .March 21. 19U8.-Dear
Sir: Our neighbor has a cow and calf
that r slowly starving to death. No
cow could be any poorer and stand out
in this storm when her owner has a good
stable and Ik abundantly able to give tho
animals shelter and proper care I have
offered to purchase the animal In order
to give it proper care, but he refuses
to sell. H. I. W.
Vancouver. Wash.. March 23. 1908. One
of the large, gray horses belonging to a
lumber company, dropped dead yesterday
while it was being driven from Portland
with its mate. The overloading of the
team was witnessed by several parties
and it was their opinion the animal died
from over-exertion. The Humane Society
should look into this case. L. S.
Scotts Mills. Or.. Jan. IS. 1908. Dear Sir:
Mr. J., of Salem, has a contract for
carrying the mails from WilholC He
leaves at 6 o'clock P. M.; makes Wood
hum at 12 M. This trip Is made without
feed, about 23 miles. In the mud, and
seven of It over the hills from here to
Wilhoit, and furthermore the hors that
sisrts from Woodburn at 1 A. M.. makes
the trip to Wilhoit and back to Woodburn
on same time and only two feeds in the
round trip without hay. It has been a
horse-killer for the last four years, and
they have shown no mercy on the ani
mals. Can't your society remedy these
terrible acts of cruelty? J. M.
Forest Grove, Or., June 26, 1906. Dear
Sir: Can you tell me where 1 can find
the humane laws of Oregon. The Massa
chusetts society referred me to your so
ciety in Oregon. We have formed a band
of mercy in Forest Grove and I want
to instruct the children in regard to
the laws of our state. M. H.
Springfield. Or.. Jan. 21. 1308. Dear 8tr:
Am Interested In the work of the Ore
gon Humane Society. Any information
which you may be pleased to furnish in
regard to it will be thankfully received.
Jefferson. Or., Aug. 8. 1908. Dear Sir:
At the last meeting of the Woman's Club
of Jefferson, we decided to put In a
drinking fountain for horses at this place.
Noticing that several have been erected
at Portland through the efforts of your
Humane Society, any information on this
subject as to the cost of the fountains
will be thankfully received. D. H. Jj.
Sherwood. Or., Sept. lrt. 1908. Dear Sir:
Crucltv to animals in the country. Fre
quently we have noticed in the columns
of the Journal where persons aro fined
for crucltv to animals. In the city It is
easy to detect, but In the country, where on
a farm a poor horse is worked hard every
day. ofn over-burdened, notwithstanding
the fact that the poor animal's feet are
rotted and sore to a frightful state. Is
there no protection in rural districts for
the poor suffering animals? Many are
the cases which come to my notice and
need the attention or a humane officer,
but It la not generally known by the
farmer to whom a complaint should be
sent. Will vou kindly ohlige by giving
such information. A SUBSCRIBER.
Walla Walla. Wash.. Aug. 10. 1S0S.
Dear Sir: Will von kindly Inform me as
to the proper method of procedure for se
curing the organization of a Humane So
ciety for Walla Walla? I am very anxious
to se some movement made toward
checking the cruelty here toward horses
and other animal. S. B.
Portland. Or.. Sept. 12. 1908. Dear Sir:
T wish o thank you for the prompt at
tention you have siven to the extreme
case of cruelty I reported and for your
letter in answer to mine. It is a great
relief to know that there is some one to
whom matters of cruelty can be re
ported and who will give careful atten
tion to them. T have heard several peo
ple speak of the good work done by the
Humane Societv here, and I certainly ap
preciate the kind response I have had
to the several cases I reported, and your
society should certainly . rec-ive state

McMinnville. Or.. Nov. 15. lf.-Drar
Sir- I wish to call vour attention to the
manner In which they have of plucking
ttirktes alive. The turkey Is hung up by
the feet, then a sharp iron hook, made
for the purpose. Is run through the lower
jaw. with a heavy weight suspended,
which holds the wretch from wrigsling.
Then it- is picked clean. They 4ie a
natural death. Sometimes they walk
around afterwards. Thanksgiving is near
at hand and we would like to have you
send an officer here and order that this
barbarous practice may be stopped.

HONEST MAN FINDS WATCH
Laborer Turns Valuable Timepiece
Over to Police Authorities.
Joseph Meyers, a laboring man, demon
strated last night that sprinkled among J
the tough element of the North Bnd the j
strictly honest man Is sometimes found.
Meyers, who lives at the New House, was
passing Third and Washington streets,
a sparkle on the pavement caught his eyo
and he stooped to find a watch. It was
a handsome timepiece, of Waltham make,
and had evidently been carried in a wo
man's belt, as attached to It was a black
silk fob. decorated with a gold "beauty"
pin set -with a turquoise. It was a watch
which might have been readily pawned
with one of the "shark" money-lenders
of the North End for several dollars.
Meyers, however, took it straightway to
the police station and turned it over to
the custody of Acting Captain Goltz.
"It doesn't belong to me." said Mey
ers, "and if I should keep it the knowl
edge that it did not would make me un
happy, so maybe you can find the right
ful owner."
If the woman who lost It will call at
the police station and prove ownership.
It will be returned to her.
