out the gamey black-tail or mule

chief attractiveness for the sports

the bush pheasant and blue grouse,
would be a dreary country' indeed,
especially for a true Oregonian.
We fully believe that the figures
relative to the destruction of deer
by varmints, as given in the peti
tion, are none too large. This is
about what it figures up to: 26000
deer destroyed by wild beasts, aver
aging 65 pounds of dressed meat
each, makes 1,690,000 pounds of
meat.T'Put this at the low figure of
8 cents per pound, we have $135,
700.00 worth of meat. 26000 deer
hides at 50 cents each foots up to
$13,000.00, bringing the entire ac
count up to $148,700.00, in this
state for one year. How does that
read? Don't you think it is time
something was being done to stop
this slaughter? You may think the
proposed bonnty which we are en
deavoring to have the state offer for
the scalps for the different animals,
as enumerated in the petition, too
high. Iu answer to this chief ob
jection we will ask you to figure up
what it costs to feed a wolf or cou
gar for a year. You will find that,
figuring from our former estimate,
it will cost $296.40. How does
that suit you ? Do you think we
can afford to pay $25.00 each for
their destruction? and ns for the rest
of the deer destroying animals; we
feel assured the proposed bounties
which we ask the state to offer, are
none too high.
Now as to the bounty which we
ask the state to pay for the scalps
of coons, skunks, digger squirrels
and crows. To those who are not
acquainted with tlve habits of these
pests, the same may seem excessive
but to those who have had an op
portunity of studying their modes
of obtaining a living, it is very mod
erate indeed, for these bird killing,

although we have nothing to figure

would be a surprise to all.
We have not touched ou the co

that intimately concerns only one

wolves, cougars or panthers, bears,
lynx, wild cats, etc. It has been
estimated by competent persons
that there are no«- 500 cougars in
