COYOTES ARE
NUAtEROUS
Destructive Animal Harelncreai
ed Rapidly since Bounty
Wan Taken off.
Coyotes are now more numerous in
Morrow county than they have been for
a number ot years and are becoming a
menace to the sheepmen.
In spite of the most diligent watch
fulness on the pari of the stockmun and
herders these crafty animals oceassio
ally raid the flocks and in a about time
can do great damage for every good
sheep killed means tbe loss of a $5
piece.
Over in the Batter creek country it is
said that it is not an uncommon sipht to
see 10 or 12 coyotes in a band.
The jack rabbits are getting scarce
and the wolves are hungry and unusual
ly bold. Nut long agi they made a raid
upon a baud of sheep at n i u 1 1 1 that were
corralled, belonging to Newt Whet
stone. The coyotes dug under the
corral fence and ki.led eight fine sheep
and crippled another. This is a veiy
Qrj'iciiul occurrence as the wily animals
are afraid to enter a email enclosure

Since the bounty was taken off much
attention has been paid to exterminat

creased rapidly.
PARALYZED II V CAR SHORTAGE
Inaaeqtiote Transportation In.
Jured Trade in All Com.
modltle.
Washington, Dec. 28. Tbe car short
age problem has bad its influence on the
movement of internal commerce during
the past month, according to a state
ment issued todav by the Bureau of
Statistics of the Department of Com
merce and JjRbor.
While tbe statement declares it is im
possible to dr.'ermine to what extent in
adequate tra&sportion facilitiee affected
tbe movement of grain, livestock, meat
products and in some localities lumber
and coal., in November, it says it can
undoubtedly be affirmed that tbev would
have been much heavier had tbe rail
roads been fully able to cope with the
situation.
A marked decline is shown in move
ments of certain important staples when
compared with November of last year,
but an increase for the 11 months of the
present year. The total livestock re
ceipts at seven interior primary markets
during November aggregated 3,534,117
head, a falling off of about 300.000 head
from the same month ot last year.
For the 11 months of the present year
like arrivals aggregated 37,442,129 head,
compared with 37,089,707 head for the
like period of 1905.
A considerably falling off is shown in
shipments of packing-bouse products
from Chicago during November, there
being a total of 218,119.712 pounds
againBt 290,060,362 for the same period
of 1905,
The most noticeable decline is shown
in receipts of grain, the total figures for
15 interior markets during November
having been 75,770.424 bushels, showing
a falling off of over 17,000,000 bushels in
November, 1905.
For the 11 ftionths of 10tV, grain re
ceipts aggregated 722,94 1.S71 bushels,
exceeding like months in 1905 by more
than 11,500,000 bushels. Decreases
which occurred in the receipts of wheat,
barley and rye were offset by an increase
in the receipts of corn and oats.

W. R. Penland, of Medicine Hat,
Alberta, phipped from this city Sunday
last, 250 head o' rang horses to Medi
cine Hat, Alberta. The horses were all
purchased in Morrow county principally
from Newt Jones, Mike Kenny and Mel
Humphrey. The prices paid for tbe
horses were $10 for the yearlings and
22 per head for the grown s'ock. Mr
Penland came to Heppner some time
ago and was intending to ship much
sooner, but owing to the car shortage
was held up here waiting for a time
when be coulrJ load out his stock
Owing to a change in tbe schedule in
Canadian tariffs which took effect on
the first of the year in which the duty
on horses was raised $S per head on the
class of animals that Mr. Tenland was
shipping, be was naturally very anxious
to get Ins horses through before the
grip of the new law could have effect for
it would mean a clean outlay of about
$2000. Ordinary range horses such as
were formerly raised in this county are
fast disappearing, and their places will
be taken with better stock. In fact,
the Bonner they are gone the better it is
for the stockmen for a poor horse will
eat as much grass as a goo 1 one, cone
quemly the good horse is much more
profitable.

JACK CLARK DEAD.
JEarly Pioneer of Morrow County
Panel Away,
Jack Clark, a pioneer of Morrow
connty, died at the county poor house
list Sunday morning.
Deceased was wll known fn tftSa
county. He came here in an early day.
bis occupation being that of rais'wij
horses. He has certainly experienced
the ups and downs of the pioneer from
Indian fighting to every phase of the
early hardships. He was about 74
years of age. During the last few years
he has been quite feeble.
It was hard work to get poor old Jack
to accept county charity, even in
age and straightened circumstances'.
Some time ago tie was taken to the poor
house but the love of pioneer free-Jom
was too strong in bis breast to stay and
becoming indignant at being told wbi
to do, left the county institution and fcr
awhile attempted to earn a livine bjr
hauling wood from the mountains with
his famous mules. In this undertakioe
with the aid ot tips from old tiro
friends and acquaintances he was
to keep the wolf from the door, but the
ravages of father time soon compelled
bin. to accept county aid.
He was buried Monday in the Hepp
ner cemetery.
The Dalles voted a school tax of 7i
mills which will meet current ex
