S L A U G H T E R OF D E E R
BY T I M B E R W OL VE S
T . II. Goveau, a prominent resi
dent of Jasper, was in Eugene
Wednesday and told the Register
a story of game destruction that
is really shocking. A short time
ago Mr. Goveau and John Vaughan
went deer hunting on the big bot
tom on Little Fall creek and they
found places where the ground
was literally strewn with bones
and carcasses of deer. They found
a deer that had been run out of the
mountains to the creek and was
overtaken in a drift where it had
got fast and a part of a ham had
been eaten so shortly before that
the meat was still good and they
used a part of it. They saw tracks
of timber wolves as large as a
man's hand and they evidently
run the deer out of the mountains
to the creek and then destroy them.
Mr. Goveau says it is the duty of
the legislature to provide a bounty
of $10 each for gray wolves or
cougars for if they do not take
some steps toward the destruction
of these varmints there will lie no
more deer left in a very short time.
George F. Croner of Eugene
says that the cougars and bear are
actually exterminating the deer on
the upjier McKenzie and unless
something is done to stop them, in
another two years there will not be
a
deer left in that country. He

WHIT ONE SOUTH TINE
FRUIT GROWER HIS OONE
Wonderful Returns From Prune
Crop of Our Sister County on
the South, Old Douglas.
Monday’s Daily Roseburg Re
view had the following to say re
garding a fruit grower of our
neighboring town, Creswell:
‘‘Mr. Gile tells us that perhaps
the largest crop in volume and
value which he is handling this
year is that of Dr. L. D. Scar
brough, of Creswell, Lane county.
Dr. Scarbrough began prune grow
ing on a small scale eight years
ago. He now has about 165 acres
devoted to that truit and this sea
son Mr. Gile is paying him about
$30,000 for his crop. After build
ing two new driers at a total cost
of $4otX>, Dr. Scarbrough will
still realize a net profit, above all
cost of production of over $15,-
000, for this year's crop.
How prunes bring money from
abroad is shown by the fact that
Mr. Gile shipped ten carloads last
mouth direct from Rosebnrg to
European markets. This fruit
went to Eugland, Germany, and
one carload to Dublin. ”
trees, occupying just six acres of
land, he harvested this season 37,-
000 pounds of fruit—that being
the weight of the crop after it was
cured and ready for the market.
These prunes were of the Italian
variety and averaged 55s to 60s in
size. This crop has beeu sold at
4% cents i>er ixmnd, bringing a
total return of $1665 from the six
acres, or an iuconie of $277.50 per
acre for this one crop.
P R U N E S B R IN G BIG MONEY
While as yet it is impossible to
make any exact estimate of this
year’s prune output iu Douglas
county, as many growers have not
yet shipped their crops and pack
ing is scarcely half completed, still
it is safe to say that the growers
will receive upwards of $200,000
in the aggregate for this season’s
crop. This may well be termed as
being all new money, as the fruit
is all sold abroad, and the income
thus received adds that amount to
the permanent wealth of the coun
ty. This is for the prune crop
