You will pardon me for suggesting that

bounty money for coyote scalps. The re
cent action of the state officers in no
tifying the counties that since there Is
no funds in the state treasury now to pay
this bounty with the counties will hare
to stand the expense themselves. Most
Eastern Oregon counties have taken ac
tion similar to that "of Baker. A few
days ago the commissioners of Malheur
County came to the same decision. The
farmers of that county flooded the coun
ty court with petitions to cease paying
coyote scalp bounty because the iCCy
otes destroyed the jack rabbits with
which that countv is now overrun so
that tremendous losses In crops have al
