Coyote Poisoning l Crusade Has Begun ' The State Livestock Sanitary Board has started a systematic coyote-poisoning crusade to be carried on in all of the states of the west during the month of February. The legislature of 1917 passed , a coyote bounty law which provided for the Increase of $1 each year as bounty for the kill ing of each female adult coyote. This means that adult female coyotes will be paid for in the amount of $4 dur ing the year 1918. Each male coyote and each coyote pup will be paid for in the amount of $3 as bounty for the year 1918. In addition the sum that is realized from the sale of prime coyote hides, it is estimated that the ordinary adult coyote will return to its killer a profit of something like 7 or $8. The conclusion reached after thor ough discussion with officials in charge of the government operations In 'poisoning coyotes is that, under winter conditions, best results are ob tained from small baits composed of lard and sugar, each with a poison dose of two and three-fourths grains of strychnine (powdered alkaloid). The strychnine may be contained in a No. 2 capsule, or it may be placed in loose form In a cavity in the center of the bait. In the latter case, it is essential that the. lard be cold and hard when the poison Is added, since warm lard quickly absorbs the ex tremely bitter taste of strychnine. Processes for preparing quick-killing poison baits may be obtained from this board. Other modes of de stroying this pest are afso presented to farmers by shooting, trapping and hunting with dogs. ... COL. LEADER TRAINS MEN IN WAR METHODS University of Oregon, Eugene, Feb. 9. In four weeks, Lieut. Col. John Leader, commandant of the university battalion and Instructor in military science, has converted the 300 men In the university battalion, who hardly knew the rudiments of the manual of arms, Into a unit working with precision and accuracy. Eight hours of military work a week is being required of every man in the university who is able to shoulder a gun. All of the military Instruction is being carried on with the idea that the men will have act ual use for It when they get to Eu rope. This semester for the first time military science Is being taught as a profession and Is becoming a major department instead of a side Issue. Colonel Leader Is fitting his cadets for officers. He believes that the United States needs officers trained in military science even more than it . needs privates. President Campbell, who Is at present In Washington, D. C has been' sending encouraging messages in regard to a reserve officers' train ing camp at the university. Applies- IrMjyCfr Last Time To-Night ETHEL BATOYMOME in "Life's Whirlpool" i i - Don't Miss IS tion for training camp rating has been made. Out on the university golf course are being constructed trenches, dug ov.tfl, machine gun emplacements, barbed-wire entanglements, sapping tunnels, first aid pits, sniping pits and other contrivances of the battle front The art of camouflaging Is not being neglected. Colonel Leader has called upon .the girls to help in this. A row Of dummies labeled "bosche" is made to suffer while the cadets practice bayonet drill, and al ready the boys are becoming adept in the art .. of ' throwing dummy bombs. Add to these the manual of arms, drill, rifle practice, and lectures three times a week by Colonel Lead er and you have an idea of the train ing under the present regime. In all, the university is offering more than twenty different courses In military science., With an aim of being the greatest possible service to the country, the university has made special provision whereby everyone desirous of training is giv en an opportunity to secure the mill tary training offered here. Men may enter as special military students upon payment of the entrance fee of f:ve dollars. Coyote Hides Are Brought for Bounty . A total of $270 was paid for boun ties for predatory animals In Klamath county during the month of January, according to the report made by the county cleric, says the Klamath Falls Herald. With the exception of about $10 paid for bobcats, the entire amount was paid for coyote bounties, which fwould mean between eighty and ninety animals, the present bounty, being $3. It is reported that tne largest portion of the animals jare brought In from Bly and Lan gell valley. Fewer reports of rabid coyotes In the country districts are being reported this wintgr than for some time past.

' TUESDAY WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY ay o -m- "The Man from Painted Post" Douglas in This Picture How Bolsheviki Is Pronounced There are almost as many local pronunciations of the words "Bol shevik" and "Bolsheviki" as there are of the words "Los Angeles." It IS "Bol-shee-veek," with the accent on the last syllable and the "o" as in the word "go." It is "Bol-3hea-vee-kee," with the accent on the "kee," if you refer to tho party. - This is according to Colonel John S. Irby, surveyor of customs, who gets it from an educated Russian gentleman, just passing through San Francisco. ' '' '" Colonel Irby's informant adds that the term was originally attached to the Bolsheviki more In opprobrium than otherwise. The impression has been prevalent that the word meant "majority" or something equivalent to it. Irby's man claims that It is about the equivalent of the American slang term "Johnny WIs," and translated literally signifies "grown-up3" or "big men." Siskiyou News. CAPITAL ABSORBED IX PERIOD OF WAR The laat annual report fit Secre tary of the Treasury McAdoo con tains the following: "The government must, If neces sary, absorb the supply of new capi tal available for investment in the United States during the period of the wan.
