Near CkUb Hlg Cats Had Killed

and to we are rewarded well for oar
trouble.
These cougars had killed several
ponies And many calves In Camas
Prairie and measured (Vs feet from
tip to tip. They weighed about lit
pounds each.
Shutrum acted as camptender for
us while we watched, carrying grub
to us in the brush.
The East Oregonl&a received the
following Interesting letter from "Fat"
Turner, deputy game warden, who Is
now hunting In the south part of the
county, and who with Henry Lazlnka
killed two monster cougars la Camas
Prairie this week. Mr. Turner says:
Mel Shutrum and wife and myself
and wife have been stopping at Henry
Laztnka's place In Camas Prairie for
several days and have some exciting
times. 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

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.

In the village.
Everywhere he went, asserts tne
parson, he was greeted with grins and
giggles and many people favored him
with exact Quotations from tne loving
letters that passed dally between him
and his flnancee.
At last, says the preacher, he was
told that the postmistress was spread
ing the Information about his love af
fair, and he appealed to the postal
authorities to put a stop to such pro
cedlngs. An Investigation by postof
flce Inspectors and the arrest of Miss
Whltmore followed.
It Is not known what plea the alleg
ed trlfler with Cupid will make when
the case Is called for hearing today.
