EWIXG DOES NOT CREDIT WILD STORIES COMING IN FROM COUNTY. In the following letter to this news- paper E. W. Ewlng waxes skeptical regarding reports of coyotes afflicted with rabies. CECIL, Ore., Feb, 26, 1915. Editor of the Pendleton East Ore go nlan. Being very much Interested In the article of February 2S regarding coy ote rabies and noticing that the ar ticle la not signed, kindly publish the name of the author and also the ad dress of the other people mentioned. I am of the opinion that rabies does not exist in Oregon and think that such stories should be run down and sifted to the bottom. j According to this story there must be many cattle, hogs, chickens, cats, etc., now dying with rabies. Imag ine the commotion that the mad hound must have made while he was busy. What were the other dogs do ing and what were the cats about? Did the mad (jog climb trees and barns to bite them. I can also Imagine the coyote after Mr. Bush. As they are about the quickest animal In the world It would havo caught him In two or three jumps If it had been In earnest. In regard to Calvin White's opinion. He Is an officer and must stand for crit icism. It seems to me that some of the good people In Pendleton should, have a chance to look into the glass and see the, rabies germs. E. W. EWING. For the Information of Mr. Ewlng It may be stated the story published February 24 was written by a mem ber of the East Oregonlan staff upon the strength of information furnished by George Adams of McKay creek. The East Oregonlan has no doubt that the Information was trustworthy In every respect. The address of Mr. Adams Is McKey, Oregon. Editor. Shoes! Shoes! Shoes!
