Cat's Torx Chills Heart Ths rtcsM 4tiUrM of Jon pros psctSr In UiS wllfls ot Currr coooty make ss.UrUlipg- a tale as many art Edison Marshall story. The tale Is of the cap tors of a mountain lion by William lUevss of Brookings. Or, Tracks six Inches across were to be seen nest morning- In the trail. Many 4er had : been found killed by this lion at different times, carcasses partly eaten and sometimes covered- by ferns rati) red by the Uon. Many sbeep were kilted on ranches In the valley below, and, the cougar took his toll of colts, boss and calves. No dnjrs were avail able. The cat was never neen In day Utn but often followed IWves at night, particularly through a pitch dark half mile of heavy forest on the mountain, side, where he could easly pounce uponl fits victim i rum rocas a dots uia irau or an overhanging tree. This was the ex perience the secretary of the Moose lodge had going home from a meeting whes 14 miles In the mountains and un armed and without light. A mountain lion Is never caught by bait, being a killer of his own meat. lie always picks a fresh victim and kills others though gorged (100 annually). I Often crippling a deer he plays with It i ss a cat with a mouse, tantalising the victim evidently to hear him bawL A story la told of a lion tossing a . full grown deer, in sport, over a oon- I sidxrable area. The cat's learning to dog the Ions prospector In the mountains furnished i the means of his own undoing. On an exact spot where the cat planted Ms foot the prospector excavated a hole and ; buried a set bear trap, leaving the trail ' exactly as before wltb the trap covered ' by an Inch of dirt On Halloween, when devils and spooks were out. the demon of the mountains was lured by the prospector. When he bit that bear trap the canyons rang and a struck light revealed great balls of firs that charged to the extent of ft. 0 foot cable holding the heavy trap. Daylight and time exposures of tbe II v cougar taken at few feet show the lion In Ms native horns. The lion re peatedly charged and snapped clubs the sise ofa man's wrists in his powerful Jaws, giving evidence of what ha would do to a man. The pictures were taken In the shadow of the forest on the brink of a preclplre, and under extreme diffi culty, the lion restless and always chang ing positions, roaring much Ilka an Afrtaan lion, and tearing and clawing all within his reach. It la a favorite trlok Of the cat to open his mouth wide, si jwtng fangs, and flattening ears, giv ing 4 loud hiss. This lion measured close to lt feat and was an unusually heavy specimen, welgh . In? about 200 pounds. ' Reeves believe attention should be J given by the "stats legislature or by f congress for placing a heavy bounty on this blood-thirsty animal, whose tooiroe I floated with bartS -tnAt InSMtfeVM A cut in a deera side strtps tha eotar from a deer's heart more heatry than a sur geon could do It with four knives, and with which be sucks blood from tha pulsing heart. This is often all ha does anl he keeps killing. The only successful way to hurt the animals, aays IVeeves, Is with trained doss, as lions often Jump and escape all but the best dogs. The bounty of $1S by 1 e Oregon; lieu and game commission. says Reeves, is tot enontft to warrant hunters in keeping dogs and taking time to wipe out this scourge of the deer fanlty. With lions removed wa would have great Increases in dear. Much ' money spent on gkme wardens oould be r better spent on a $100 bounty for each panther and I3S for cubs, thinks Reeves. With each female Is generally two cubs, sometimes three. They are much more easily taken. f Reeves la a graduate if Lincoln high school class of February, H'JS. His brother, J.

Family Has Education Fund K a a H it a College Loan Keeps Moving Walter Quesenberry, the "village blacksmith" and old settler of Rock- wood, 10 miles east of Portland on the Section Line road, is tha proud father of eight living children. He has some original Ideas and one of them is the maintenance of a revolving education fund for the children as they advance to the line where he defines education to be "purely a business, matter and not sn obligation on the parents."' When they start to college the revolving fund begins to roll. It Is a loan to that par ticular offspring, and onlv dire necessity occasions Its being called on. If it is possible for the aspiring Qaesenberry to secure tha necessary funds by hard work or economy, or both, then Dad is not asked for a loan. "None of them has ever spent too much because they know they must pay every cent back and they are not noted In college for any costly escapades, I assure you," said tha blacksmith.

The Blgns have aa Ivory background with raised letters of green. They will be posted in both Oregon and Washington national for est roads. The Cascade national forest, wet of the Three Sisters and tributary to Eu gene, Is at present the best posted on trail signs of any forest in Oregon or Washington, according to records at tha district forester's office. fund one eon has graduated as a dentist and is now a lieutenant in the naw. Another son is about to graduate as a dentist also; A daughter is e-oine- through O. A. following a sister. who is teacMng school after graduating from the state normal school. One son preferred to be an artist and did not take a college course. Two children are now In high school and hope to avail themselves of that revolving fund to some extent next year. Tha Quesenberry revolving college fund is not likely to collapse unless some one of the Quesenberry family turns out to be an ungrateful black sheep, which is not indicated. fn case of a defaulting child of mine, the others would have to make it up or the baby would suffer,, and they know It." observed the one-time cham pion horseshoer of Multnomah county. . Establishment of Multnomah county hospital on the seven acre site adjacent to that of the University of Oregon Med ical school on Marquam Hill "would af ford opportunities for the type of clini cal instruction which is essential to the work of school and would place the hospital on a par with Johns Hopkins, Harvard, Columbia, Chicago, Northwest ern, Pennsylvania and other well known teaching hospitals of the country, ac cording to P. I Campbellspresident of the university. Plans for the building prepared by Sutton & Whitney were the result of exhaustive study and investigation of the brat hosnitals of the Ignited States and Canada and details were worked out by the architects in cooperation with the Multnomah .county commissioners and the medical advisory board. HADE OF CONCRETE Construction is of reinforced concrete. with partitions of hollow tile. The foun dations are on bedrock and every pre- J caution has been taken to erect an en- j during structure suitable for existing hospital needs of the county. The unit now under construction would accom modate 200 beds without crowding, and in emergencies room could be foudd for 275 beds, according to the report of II. A. Whitney to the county commissioners. Practically 50 per cent of the first unit is devoted to administration facili ties, such as storage rooms, kitchens. admission department, offices, labors-: torles. X-ray and hydrotherapautio de partments, operating rooms and quarters for the superintendent and Internes. The boiler house, heating plant, garage, laundry and quarters for employes aiso are included in the Initial construction. Provision has been made for two addi tional wings with a capacity of 150 beds to meet future needs. SEED MORE MOJfET The building in its present state re quires $350,000 for completion, accord ing to estimates of the architects and the county commissioners. This sum has been allotted by the commission for expenditure in 1922, and would bring (he total cost of the hospital, ready for oper ation, up to $1,000,000. In addition to this approximately 100,000 would be required for parking the grounds and adding finishing touches to the building, according to wnitney. The amount already appropriated would put the new hospital Into com mission and allow for the transfer of equipment and patients from the old county hospital at the corner of Second and Hooker streets. According to Com missioner Holman, the appliances now in use at the old hospital would serve for the Initial equipment of the new hospital. The present hospital building was erected about 40 years ago, and was used for many years as a residence. It is a three story-frame structure crowded j wita o Deas. uniy approximately 350 cubic feet of air is allowed to each oc cupant, while the building coda requires a minimum of 1000 cubic feet. BCTLDEfO COXDEMIfED The building now in use "has been condemned by eight county grand juries as unsafe. It was also .condemned by Fire Marshal Edward Grenf ell as an unsafe place to bouse the sick and dis abled, on November 18, 1920. - .The roof leaks and during rainy weather the basement is flooded. No fault has been found with the management of tha hospi tal in grand jury reports, but In every instance the jury , has strongly r com mended immediate erection of a new building. The site of the new hospital on Mar quam hill has been donated to Mult Domah county by the University of Ore gon for hospital purposes. The location is one and eight-tenths miles front the old postofflce building at Sixth and Yam hill streets. Parole Breaker Is Taken in Custody; To Serve 10 Years Hilleboro. Not.
