Douglas Fairbanks
At Vining Theatre
Douglas Fairbanks in the thrilling
Wyoming drama, "The Man From
Painted Post," will be at the Vining
Theatre Wednesday and Thursday.
Replete with the swift action and
thrills of a story dealing with the
cattle rustling days of the west, to
gether with the most beautiful of
natural scenic displays offered in
picturesque Wyoming, Douglas Fair
banks latest Artcrart picture pre
sents the popular exponent of the
smile in a role quite different from
any of his previous screen efforts,
As "Fancy Jim" Sherwood, a sup
posed "tenderfoot," Douglas cleans
up a famous gang of rustlers after
many exciting experiences.
This photoplay is based on Jack
son Gregory's recent magazine story,
"Silver Slippers," and was adapted
to the screen by the versatile Doug
las himself. Staged at the ' River
side ranch, near Laramie, Wyo.,
where 160,000 acres of land and
30,000 head of cattle were placed
at the disposal of the photoplayers.
this film presents the true western
atmosphere of the story.
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-

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.
FARMERS ENCOURAGED
TO USE FERTILIZER
The Jackson County Agricultural
Council members have begun to real-
ze the importance of proper fertilizer
for the various crops raised in this
valley. At the council held In Med
ford last week addresses were made
on the topic to encourage the farm
ers to use more fertilizer this season
In order to increase the production
to the maximum. Farmers are urged
to communicate with council mem
bers, experiment station and county
afents for information along these
lines.

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. This, in turn, makes it
essential that unnecessary capital ex
penditures should be avoided In pub
lic and private enterprises. Some
form of regulation of hew capital
expenditures should be provided."
In fixing the dates and amounts of
the Liberty loan issues the secretary
of the treasury considers not only
the needs ot the government, but
takes Into careful consideration the
business of the country and the
financial needs of the country's busi
ness. k
While no specific authority has
been conferred by law upon him to
pass upon new undertakings Involving-
large expenditures of capital, la
bor or material, the secretary states
that banks, corporations, municipal
and state officials have submitted to
him plans for new enterprises or is
sues of securities and that it is ap
parent that the United States govern

ment may count upon a full measure
of co-operation on the part of states,
municipalities and private business,
so that no issue of state or other
securities will Interfere or unduly
compete with the Liberty loan issue.
The secretary has requested the
Federal Reserve Board to pass upon
such proposal as may be submitted
to him and advise whether such ex
penditures of capital requiring the
use of labor and material and such
issues of new securities should be un
dertaken. Material and labor as well
at capital are Involved and both pub
lic improvements and new private
enterprises, entirely proper and com
mendable In time of peace, will, in a
great measure, now be considered In
tha light of and in connection with
tho governmental problems of
finance and other military necessi
ties.
The secretary urges that before
making contracts requiring the use
of labor and material, and before
placing new Issues of securities or
agreeing to purchase new issues of
Securities, tho Federal Reserve Board
bo conferred with. The co-operation
and co-ordination of state, munici
pal and private business with the
business of Jho national government
are important to the success of all
and the winning of the war.
