This week while out hunting for bear we found where something had killed a four-year-old buck deer and had dragged It up a steep hill for 200 yards. On examining the ground we found that the deer had been kill ed by a cougar and we made up our minds to Get Mr. Cougar. Henry Lazlnka and myself went out one evening at 5 o'clock to watch and kept watch all night in a drizzling rain, changing off with each other every two hours during the night. However, the cougars did not come back and we stayed all next day and the next night until about 3 o'clock In the morning when they appeared cautiously creeping toward the deer's carcass. I tell you they looked big and sav age with their eyes shining in the moonlight and It was a sight a man will not often see In a lifetime, each selected a cougar and counted three and fired and killed both ani mals at the first shot. It was a long watch of about 36 hours in drizzling rain and snow, but we made up our minds to get them ICOLDS The very hour a cold starts Is the time to check It Don't wait it may become deep-seated and the cure will be harder then.

IS 60IHG FIST MONTANA MAN BUYS AND CONTRACTS FOR MORE Representative of Oregon Fruit Com- IMuiy Closes Deal for Land Under Furnish Ditch Model Orchard Will Be Put Out Tlds Fall Surprised to Find Ripe Cherries May 21 Pub lic Will Be Taken to Project Free. D. B. Costuma, manager of the Fumish-Coe Land Co., has just closed a contract with George C. Slnton, rep resenting the Oregon Fruit Co., of Billings, Montana, for 80 acres of un improved land, at $125 an acre. Slnton has spent some 10 days go ing ver every portion of the project and the company he represents is go ing to jut In a model fruit orchard this fall. In addition to this sale, Slnton has also signed a contract for 160 acres of Improved land at $150 an acre, and has posted a forfeit as an option on 250 acres additional of unimproved land, at $125 an acre. He represents some wealthy capitalists of Seatle and Ireland, and his belief in the future of the Furnlsh-Coe land is so strong that all of this land will be put into fruit this coming fall. BInton states: "I could not have been more surprised If I had found a gold mlae when I came across and ate ripe cherries half a mile from the Furnlsh-Coe project. This was the most convincing proof as to the value I have received. Any climate and soil that will produce ripe cherries ready for market on the 21st day of May looks like a bonanza to me and I have been ovr veiv pmiect In Idaho, Washington and Oregon." Costuma states that he has closed a contract with two men in Walla Walla for a 35-acre tract, which Is going to be turned into a nursery. At present the Furnlsh-Coe people have disposed of almost 1800 acres of land In two months and Costuma states they will Increase the price of sale to $150 an acre before the middle of June. They are very much en couraged by the success met with, and they consider that the ripe cher. rles found yesterday on not one but several trees, speaks more strongly In favor of the rich boII and climate of Umatilla county than anything that might be said. The Columbia Land Co. proposes to Invite the people of Pendleton and Eastern Umatilla county to go to Echo on a special train at the com pany's expense during early Juiy, when the people of the county will be able to see 1000 acres under culti vation as a result of two months work. The watermelons and sweet corn will then be ripe and the west ern end of the county will have dem onstrated beyond doubt the richness of Its productive qualities. Butte, Mont., May 22.
