ary 8th, and will become a law when
signed by the president. Heretofore all
proofs on land of this character have had
to be made before registers of land
offices, which was oftentimes inconveni
ent. Mr. H. C. Neilsen adorns his lawn
with a number of large whale bones,
which he secured last summer at Ocean
Park, where an immense whale became
stranded shortly before he arrived. Sec
tions of the vertebrae are about 10 inches
across and weigh 25 or SO pounds. The
upper jaw bone resembles a skiff in size
and shape. The reporter, who hoped
that these bones belonged originally to a
pterodactyl, was not greatly disappointed
when told they were only whalebones,
they were so large. The whole measured
52 feet in length when alive, and 15 feet
across the tail.

much attention from the press of the

HARPER'S PROWESS.
lie Ain't Much on Bobbera, but a Doly
. Terror to Railroad Lads.
Night Watchman J. B. Harper made
himself very conspicuous last night
again, of which a trial'at midnight be
fore the recorder was an interesting fea
turt. ...
Bart Conroy and two other railroad
boys named DeWolf and Cumming were
discussing the robbery in Ben Wilson's
saloon at about 11 o'clock. DeWolf
made some remark about how he would
act ' differently if he were in Harper's
place, when the subject of. the re
mark, who had apparently been listen
ing behind the front door, sudden
ly rushed in, and calling him a
vile name, struck hinr in the face. He
was knocked down by the blow and af
terwards kicked, the other boys all the
time expostulating with him for hia con
duct. De Wolf, thoroughly maddened,
invited Harper outside, but on going
out, Harper went away. De Wolf then
went to the recorder's house, swore out
a warrant, and insisted on immediate
trial. This occurred at 1 :30 o'clock thia
morning ; Harper was found guilty and
fined $20, which he paid.' Previous to
this and just after his arrest by Marshal
Maloney, while both were walking up
Court street, Conroy with others were
seen across the street, and Harper (un
der arrest) shouted over to Conroy to
come across, that he wanted to see him.
Conroy came up, - and with scarcely a
word Harper whipped out his billy and
struck him on the head with it, hitting
him again in the mouth while he waa
falling and knocking out a tooth.
As a consequence- there are two
more complaints in waiting for Harper,
one for assault and battery and one for
using offensive language. The cost to
Harper of these trials will foot up con
siderably, besides placing him in a very
unenviable light. .
,' The basis for his action is probably a
desire to redeem himself by a little prow
ess in the bruiser line for his connection
with the robbery - Saturday night, but
like other great men, he might have
awaited an opportunity more fitting.
Our police force generally is too young
and impulsive. It would be well in the
light of all the eventa of last year, to
select older men for the positions.
We may well accept the example of the
country in thia regard. The sheriff and
his two deputies are men of proper age
and experience, and combine discretion
with bravery. They never get excited,
and in the event of a failure on their
part to enforce discipline, which ia very
rare indeed, they at all timea maintain
a cool head.
Garretson'a Collar Button.
Mr. W. E. Garretson expects one of
these days to quit tinkering on watches
and polishing up diamonds and live in
a marble-front mansion with gold knobs
on the doors. His air castle has much
of substance about it, too. He ia the
inventor of a collar button which ia to
revolutionize the trade. - Thia collar
button is as handy as a pocket in a shirt,
is easily adjusted, though a puzzle when
you don't know how, and combines sim
plicity with durability in a manner
never before approached in a furnishing
of this kind. He haa applied for a pa
tent on it, and soon Chronicle readers
may look out for an advertisement about
Garreteon's collar; button. '
Exemptions Yet to Be Deducted.
The totals that have been published
of property valuations for the several
counties do not represent the basis for
the tax levy in any in8tance. The grand
total of property for the atate, $177,249,-
0S6, is not the basis for the atate tax
levy. From this is to be deducted the
grand total of exemptions in the state,
$9,160,181, leaving the basis for the
levy of the state tax $168,088,905. In
Wasco county exemptions amounting to
$193,275 must be deducted from $3,552,
182, leaving the value of taxable prop
erty $3,358,907.

Willows Junction, judging from the
following:
Down at Willows Junction, laborers
and teams are bnsily engaged in remov
ing earth and stone preparatory for the
erection of a depot building. Other rail
road appurtenances will be put in, and
we have it straight that the ran of the
Heppner branch will shortly be arranged
to end at Willows Junction instead of at
Arlington. At one time this place- was
considered for the end of a division and
for the location of railroad shops and it
ia likely that in the future this will
be realized. A ferry ia being located on
the Columbia opposite the Junction, and
it is not at all improbable that when the
railroad company proceeds to favor the
town, that is to be, that this will be just
the place for the location of a hotel and
store. Considerable trade would be
secured from the Washington side, as
well as on this. In the language of the

, Corpse Found In the John Day.
' Mr. Geo. Metteer informed the Fossil
Journal that the dead body of a man was
found by Jos. Reyburn in the John Day
near his house on Six Mile Bottom, on
the Wasco side of the river, on Thursday,
January 11. The corpse is that of a man
of over average size, and is badly decom
posed and beyond recognition, although
considerable flesh still adherea to the
bones. It ia evident that the body must
have been in the water a great length of
time before being discovered, and specu
lation is rife as to who the unfortunate
is, or- rather was. The place
where the body was found is about
twenty-five miles down the river from
where Mr. James M. Thomson of Burnt
Ranch was drowned last May, and as
his body was never found, Home believe
that it is his corpse that the river has at
last yielded up. At this writing the
corpse has not been identified, bnt no
doubt the coroner's inquest will reveal
whether or not the remains are those of
Mr. Thompson.
The place where the body was found
is about six miles below the Clarno
ferry, fifteen miles across country from
Fossil, and a like distance from Antelope.

HOW COYOTES CATCH GEESE.
A Story of Their Canning as Told by
Mr. Wnealdon.
Apropos of a story relative to the
good generalship of coyotes catching
jack rabbits, which appeared in The
Chronicle a few days ago, Mr. Wheal
don tells for truth how they catch wild
geese, which indicates even greater cun
ning, and places them on a par with the
fox, if not superior to them in reasoning
power and knowledge of the habits of
their victims. He says two of them will
set their heads to catch a goose, and this
is the way they do it. They will sepa
rate so as to come up on both sides ot a
flock of geese. One of them, the one on
the side against the wind from the geese
or goose, for they figure on scent as well,
will approach the flock very stealthily,
getting as near as possible without being
seen. The other approaches from the
windward side, and takeB no pains to
conceal himself. Approaching to within
about fifty yards, he will deliberately set
himself on his haunches and eye the
flock. The geese are amused . at his
hungry expression of countenance, but
knowing their security is assured by
their power of night, pay no attention
to the sitting quadruped, only to return
his stare. In the meantime coyote
No. 2 ia creeping up on them from
the other side, and he often gets within
a very few feet before they hear the soft
footfall of his padded feet. Then they
rise. It is a babit of geese when rising
to fly close to the ground for quite a dis
tance before mounting -to a higher ele
vation, and the fleet-footed coyote has
only to run under his goose, spring up
ward and catch him by the legs. When
this is done his pal in the sitting posture
leisurely comes forward and together
they enjoy their meal, and no quarreling
either about who has the breast or a
drum stick.
It will thus be seen that the coyote is
a good general. He plans a ruse, allows
for the wind giving him away, and takes
cognizance of the habit of the goose in
flying low, which enables him to jump
and catch it. If this ia not reason, in
stinct is not very far removed from it.
A Good One on Ed.
Here'a a good one on Ed Mays.: Fri
day evening he took his buggy and
brought Miss Stella Ashby np to the
dance held here that night. Next
morning, of course, he took her home
again, that is ne started borne, but
right here the fun begins. Fred Wal
lace and J. T. Patterson were coming on
horseback up from the Mays ranch, and
when within about a mile from town
they glanced np and saw a span of grays
coming down the road "a lickity clip,"
with their harness on. The boys man
aged to catch the horses, and thinking
some terrible calamity must have be
fallen the owners, they sparred up their
steeds and after proceeding about a half
mile they stumbled np against a buggy
standing ia the middle of the road
which contained two occupants, both of
whom seemed to be entirely oblivious to
the outside world, while the rain beat
down cpon them in torrents. Approach
ing still nearer they found it to be Ed
Mays and his "best girl," who were
peacefully and quietly discussing the
tariff question and admiring the scenery
along the way, just as contentedly as
though they were flying along in a pal
ace car at the rate of eighty miles an
hour. The tough mud had caused the
singletrees of the buggy to break, and
the horses concluded to hudt better
shelter. The boys came up to get an
other buggy, and np to the time of
going to press Ed and his girl are still
holding the buggy down, with mud up
to the hubs and amid a copious shower
of rain.: Antelope Herald.
