PORTLAND. Jan. IS. (To the Ed
itor ) During- the last month there
have been several complaint mad
through Th Oregonlaa by fanners In
various section, of th atat against
losses sustained by tba ravages of
heep-kllllns; dogs. Editorial comment
en th fact baa been made a time or
two. but now, speaking from an ax
tended observation of thla subject for a
number of year and an aggravating
experiment. I feel disposed to say that
the matter will drop and nothing will
be don to cure th complaint, though
the small farmers who stand the losses
are deserving not only of public sym
pathy, but of public help.
Cutting through red Up on th sub
ject and getting at one right down to
brass tacks, tt mar be truthfully said
that th dog. as a species. Is manifestly
and demonstrably the most useless of
all so-called domestic animals. Al
ways In the way. having no helpful
dutlea to perform, destructive both In
tentionally and unintentionally, ex-
penalva lftyou feed hint and more so If
you don't, roaming at will on other
people's property, filthy In many ways,
smelling of everything that comes In
sight and digging it out through the
aens of smell if It la out of sight, de
cidedly too lavish in his expression of
approval If In an approving moed and
dangerous If otherwise, the dog. as I
have Intimated, has no proper or Justi
fiable place among people either la a
city or in th country.
reeralaee Hrlt K ealla-lbla,
I have bad soma experience with
docs I am now referring to quadru
peds and know them to be all I have
intimated. Where a dog does a useful
act he pulls scores of destructive and
annoying stunts that should relegate
htm. en masse, to the boneyard. or, still
better, be should not be propagated In
the first place.
For JO years I waa actively engaged
tn farming and know whereof I speak,
rroring all that Urn no occasion arosa
where a dog waa needed for any pur
pose, though for a period of five years
I waa the owner of one do? and for
three of them two both hounds! For
several years I bad been a pronounced
and consistent advocate of tha no-dog
theory, but while on a visit to a cousin
with my family one Sunday, tha record
was broken, for be bad a highly cher
ished Cuban bloodhound, which had
not lone before presented htm with a
litter of 10 youngsters and my chil
dren, a t-year-old boy and two sisters,
a little older, became" literally erasy
about tbos pars. If I had denied tbera
the piivllsaa of taking on of them
home aa their very own there would
have been Ihiffi unerale In the family,
se a cap!tuUi!ea followed and the foxy
cousin --. tyricher by th lose of
en pup. , J -
It was- later discovered that, of
course, thATiAw nen-.ber of th family
was a feroatf of the species and In due
course of tuu.' though th Identity of
th corespondent waa never discov
ered, she became th mother of five
lusty brats, which tb children avowed
were the cutest thlnsa that ever hap
pened. But I soon disposed of them all
by gift, and otherwise two by the
former method and the ethers by th
warm water route. "Did 1 say all T
Well, all hut one." ' As a means of
averting- a threatened domestic rebel
lion, on was reserved and he became
"Hover." His mother had been chris
tened -Speed." and on morning, after
three years of battling with life' fear- ,
ful lever she waa louna lying in wi
yard dead, having partaken of th re
mains of a poisoned sheep which a
neighbor had doped with Just such an
end in view, though my own opinion
was peed being my own property
that tha unfortunat shep had met Ita
d-alh at the hand, or mouth, of some
prowling coyote which had crossed the
mountains from Crook County during
tha night and returned befor daylight.
My farm waa eight mtlea east of fealero,
Rever Beewssea I armly.
Trot Rover developed a disposition to
chase every Individual who passed the
public highway, whether a pedestrian,
traveling on horseback or in a vehicle.
No amount of chastising wonld break
him of the detestable haDlt. Ilia
sense of hearing seemed to ba acutely
developed and he would meet the
comer a quarter of a mile from the
house and follow him a further dis
tance In the opposite ' direction, the
while making the atmosphere vocal
with his fixed determination to devout
his victim within tha very next min
ute. 11 alwaya Jumped the front
fence when be started to meet the ap
proaching traveler, but his return waa
by way of a fence back of the meadow,
thence between th garden and the
bouse and, if' possible he made the
woodshed without being seen. If. how
ever, he by chance found me awaiting
Mm his attitude waa on of the most
pitiful of pleaa for forgiveness, half
crawling with his tail dragging on the
ground, and If this Imploratlon for
mercy waa met by even the slightest
hint of clemency on my part ha de
tected It la a fUeh and would leap as
high as my head as a manifestation of
hla appreciation and, believe me, that
waa some leap!
One day he made tha mistake of
ehasing a neighbor's son and daughter
who were passing on horseback, with
the result that the young woman was
thrown from her horse and received a
partially sprained ankle. On morning
a few daya after that Rover was miss
ing and he continued to be missing un
til I discovered bis remains peacefully
and harmlessly resting in a thicket of
wild crahapple trees below th barn In
the pasture. It waa a favorite haunt
of the pheasants and the neighbor's
son especially delighted to hunt pheas
ants. I never asked any questions, but
quietly accepted the solution of th
mystery of Rover' prolonged absence.
Beaeflelat Art Recalled.
Turing the fiv years I owned these
two dogs I never knew of their doing
one beneficial act and they were quite
above the average la sense and dispo
sition. On rainy afternoon about 30 year
nco I was visiting for an hour or two
with my maternal grandfather, wbos
farm waa a mil from mine. W were
discussing thia very do question when
somebody announced toat a hog waa tn
th orchard. Th old gentleman was
born and read In Kentucky and. con
sequently, was always th proud own
er of two or three dogs. At the an
nouncement of the trespassing of th
hog he Jumped to his feet, hurried to
tb door, called Tig. and lb rac
waa on. Tig waa on th Job, and as
be spied tb bog and approached blm
with th total disregard for all speed
laws, th bog made for tha fane on
th farther side of th garden and went
through It Ilka a shell from a lS-lnch
gun, taking at least seven pickets with
him. Into the adjoining wheat field
they went and my grandfather and I
had all wa could do to drag the In
furiated dog from hla hold on the hog's
ar. Thla waa finally accomplished,
however, but tha bog waa In the field,
and all farmera know ar.ere la no
emergency ever confront him which Is
mora annoying and baffling than a
grown bog In a field of grain. After
tb hammer bad been found, som nails
secured, and tha scattered pickets as-
sembl-d and tha damage mended my
grandfather voluntarily admitted that
there ar times when a dog Is a
nuisance, especially when ha realised
aa I helped him to do, that a man
could quietly bav gone into to gar

Incident closed.
Dog Alwaya e Way,
The noint la that a dog Is always In
tha war. Two veara ago I had a gar
den 60 feet square adjoining the street
at my home In Koa City Park and had
finished planting It. tne eunaco was
evel as the sidewalk and mellow as an
onion bed. but on the second morning
after that garden had been used by the
neighborhood dogs ther were 20 then.
houich but six now for an au-nignia
conference, and looked aa If that Cham-
poeg meeting on May 3. 1S4I, had been
held there, or like a vacant hall after
th adjournment of a Multnomah
County Republican convention In the
days decades ago. You know that is
what dogs ar for. The great unsolved
mvstery of the age Is why mankind
will Inflict mankind with the dog nui
sance, a nuisance that doubtless began
In th Garden of Eden era of human
history. Scientists inform us that the
greatest number of units which ever
assemble In one combinations are the
destructive, lurking germs which hud
dle in the averax-e kiss, but 1 want to
enter as a close second the number of
muddy tracks a dog can make to the
souare foot on the back or front
porches on a rainy day, together with
JJ0O wags of his tall and countless
wiggles of his body if you look at bim
with approval.
And I want to assure "Pro Bono Publico-
or "Constant Reader" that I have,
and have had. as warm a spot In my
makeup for a dog when In his better
moods, as anybody else. When our dogs
died It was like losing a member of
the family. Indeed, that Is what It
was, but considering the general use
lessness of all dogs and the destructive
and filthy tendenclea of most of them
any person can avoid it all by refusing
to be roped Into a position where he Is
responsible for any of 1L Tou will
never grieve for the loss of a dog that
you dldnf own and never beard of.
Also, I have read Senator Velofs plea
for the dog, but that was mere oratory,
appropriate In a trial where a dog was
the defendant for th commission of
some crime, but nonsense when con
sidered from th standpoint of utility
or fairness. No person should have
the legal right to own a dog and let
him ru on th property of other peo
ple. Should "he? And If so,- why?
