Between-five and six thousand raV bit were slaughtered In a rabbit drive last iSunday on, the government pre' serve in Umatilla county hear the town of Echo, on the line of the O. R. & N. company. Fully COO people took part In the contest Two excursion train from Heppner and Pendleton bore large crowds to the acene.. v . Rabbit drives are of frequent oc currence in Umatilla county, wnere tne usually harmless little animal is a source of constant annoyance to the rancher. Orchards are almost ruined and alfalfa crops completely obliterated by the 'huge droves which Infest the country. While the carcasses will be utilised at a nearby cannery, It Is not their value as a food product that leads to their wholesale slaughter, but be cause of the hardship they work on vegetation. : Animal experts are disagreed en the origin st the-little animal which now thickly Infests the sagebrush. Some claim that the present stock descended from Importations of the long-eared English hare, while others claim the product to be a mixture with the Ameri can hare.'; Still others are of the opin ion that the stock is a species of the mule-eared rabbit, which Is common In other localities. When dressed the average rabbit will weigh from two to three pounds, and when properly prepared Is a r el lehabi food product. While something of a novelty, the rabbit cannery Is an ap parent success and finds little difficulty in .disposing of Its entire output. - From a sportsman's standpoint the rabbit chase is a great event and one which the average spectator is likely to long remember. A long wire-netting fence In the form of a half circle, Is stretched at one end of a field In the center of this is a hole leading to the corral.. From the opposite direction the contestants . form in another- circle and gradually work to the' fence forot lng the horde of rabbits before them. . After the circle' is completed and all avenue of escape Is cut oft, the victims are either forced in the corral or killed with clubs. A few find their way to freedom by escaping the cudgels of the contestants or dodging between their legs. One lone coyote weighing several pounds was corraled with the rabbits.

Wells of Utah, speaking of The forest reserves, said to day; "Although I approve of the forest reserve act and think it a good thing, still I think the matter is being car ried J:o extremes. JThere are thousands of acres set aside as forest reserves that are absolutely worthless as such, Inasmuch as the chances of converting those acres into forests are very slight indeed." . ' - In this connection the governor said that many of the thousands of acres set I aside as part of the forest reserves were I ,, valuable for erasing purposes, and that I it was the object of this convention to try and devise some remedy which would do away with the present restrictions upQn gracing as contained in the pres ent forest reserve act. Continuing, '(he governor stated that he endorsed the policy pursued by, Mr Plnchot, and thought that the placing 'of these lands under the control of the de partment of agriculture. Instead of al lowing them to remain under the con trol of the department of the interior, would be a step toward remedying ex isting evils. "The stock Interests of Utah." con tinued the governor, "are very good, but the market la exceedingly poor, and U OXEOOX AX9 OOLTTMXIA SAIL. mere snouia do a raise in t prices 19 make the business 4 profitable one." J Governor Wells gave some interest ing information In regard to the mineral production of the state, saying that the industry is very active in 'the different sections where mining is being carried on, and that the Silver King mine is paying f 108,000 per month in dividends, and the Daly West $104,000 per month. In addition to its monthly dividends the Silver King has declared a Christmas dividend of an extra f 100,000. The governor will speak Wednesday upon the forest reserve question.

Small were arrested ' here this forenoon on a charge of conducting gam bling games In the rear, room of their confectionery establishment The place was raided Saturday night or Sunday morning at 1 o'clock and a gambling game in full swing was what met the eyes of Chief Lane, Officer Osbura and Constable Vidlto. At one table stud poker was"1n- progress, M$Ue at another table a game of draw poker was the at traction. The players were mostly young boys about 1( or 17 years of age. The officers secured an entrance through a rear door, the lights in the front of the establishment being but at the time. ; 1 All the players were at once taken in custody and the work of taking signed statements lasted until t o'clock Sun day morning. There is a law both by state and city against gambling and the penalty is heavy in both. ' Corvallis has been entirely free from games for sometime until the present Games are not run even In the saloons. Cost to Xna Benton.

That Apostle Brooks got rid of his coat of tar and feathers a short time after they were, applied, is at last as certained. It is stated on unquestiona ble authority . that Brooks returned to the Beach .house by a circuitous route that night and applied the usual meth ods for ridding himself of his unwel come coat That he left the place with Creflleld, and that he went away with his brother apostle, seems almost cer tain ' to those who are partially in formed. . Xoose Fighting; Jim. ' ' James Morey, resiumg south of Marys river, caused a breese of excitement on Main street Saturday afternoon. While under the Influence of liquor he mounted his horse and started to accompany a companion out ; of town. Suddenly changing his mind, Morey whirled his horse around and rode north down Main street at full speed. He fell headlong, however, striking on his head and was picked up: unconscious snd carried into a nearby store, where a physician ex amined his Injuries and pronounced them not serious. .
