Cascade County, or Hood River
county as it has come to be known, has
had a rather stormy time of it. in tw
previous sessions of the state legislature
The measure was oppose d by the Wasco
County delegation, who were successful
jn defeating it, in Bpite of a large num
her of lobbyists from- Hood River who
thronged the lobby of tho state capitol
during the sessions of the legislature
Wasco County's opposition arose from
two sources. Many of the heavy tax
payors of Wasco wero opposed to losini:
the rich Hood River vallev territory
from tho tax-rolls of Wasco County at a
time wlicn that county was just getting
out of debt. Tho greatest objection
however, arose from tho manner
which ino uaecauo county lines wore
drawn, these lines coming to within
few miles of The Dalles, tho county
seat of Wasco.

Sheepmen all over the state are de
termmed if possible to eradicate the
race of animals known as coyotes. They
have inaugurated a campaign of poison
ing the pest in some localities while
otners Jvounds are employed, and trap:
are used in other places. Any and
every means is used. State Sheep In
spector W. H. Jyltle has solicited sheep
owners to assist m the work of exter
mination. From Mr. T. S. Hamilton
ABhwnod, and an extensive sheepman
we learn that he has a dozen hounds
with which to catch coyotes and they
have made good. These animals Mr
Hamilton paid $100 apiece for, but they
have proven their worth many times
over. In the localities where poison has
been used it has been found that the
plan was successful, but has to be done
with extreme care, lest the suspicion o
the wily animal is aroused and in that
case, ho would not venture near the
hait.
Tho coyoto curse had assumed alarm

to tho systematic plans made to get rid
of the pest. As it was it had cost wool
