IllIlNS, Or., March 18. Slnco
January 1, 191G, Ilnrnoy Comity has
jmlil bounty 01 nvo cents a head on
ucjrly 1100,000 Jack rabbits. Tho
tool exponso to dnto Is closo to $1G,
OuO Onltiloii Is divided as to whether
or not tho bounty law Is a wlso one.
In view ot tho agitation In favor
or 1 Wiclns n bounty on Jack rabbits
In flier Central Oregon counties tho
cMicrtunco ot Harney county with tho
bounty law is of especial Interest nt
tiu.i nmo.
The bounty lnv was adopted by tho
it people of Ilnrnoy county on an ini
tiative petition at tuo general elec
tion In 1911. Tho low bocamo effec
tive on January 1, 191G, tho bounty
provided being Hvo cents per rabbit.
Tho vote on tho measure was 1.15G
In favor and 793 opposed.
ruder tho law It Is tho duty of the
county court when setting tho tax
lovy to mako a sufficient levy to
meet tho estimated oxpendlturo for
bounties In tho onsulng year. Under
this provision tho court levied a tax
. ?f threo mills for 1915, producing
rorcnuo amounting to 32,000. Tho
1 whole amount wac exhausted boforo
tho cud of tho year and $10,000 In
warrants Issued. According to Coun
ty Judgo II. O. I.ovens, In splto of tho
number of rabbits killed, thcro Is no
diminution in tho supply, tho claims
for tha bounty nt tho latest term of
court having been as great as nt any
term In tho past year.
.luilno I.cicns Opposed.
Judgo Lovons Is ono of thoso who
think thnt tho Harney county boun-
r ty law Is bad. His opinion is that a
bounty Is only temporary In Its ro
HiiltH and that tha county would bo
hotter off If It bought rabbit wlro In
car load lots to turn over to ranch
ers, instead of paying tho bounty,
hvon assuming that a bounty is do
slrablo ho believes It a bad thing un
less nil counties in which rabbits aro
found havo tho snmo bounty law. At
present ha Is satlsflcd thnt Harney is
paying bounty on rabbits ovon from
Nevada, which bordors -his county, as
well ns from tho neighboring Orogon
counties. Theoretically this situation
is guardod against by tho require
ment thnt n bounty claimant mako
aillldnvlt that his rabblt3 woro klllod
In Harney county, but tho judge's
fr'th in human nnturo, at lenst on
this pnrtlculnr subject, Is weak. Proof
tiiBt rabbits woro killed out or liar
-noy Is Impossible. Tho court can on
ly nccept tho affidavits and pay tho
bounty, but it often has lto doubts.
Judgo I.ovens nlso bellovcs thnt If
county Is to havo a bounty, flvo
conts a head Is too hlgn. Two and a
half conts would bo nearer right In
his opinion.
Anothor olllclnl, who does not wish
Ills nnmo to bo used, favors n bouti-
tylaw , but ngrecs with Judgo havens
that It is undeslrahlo for u single
county to bo pnylng bounties. In his
opinion, If It camo to a voto, Harney
county would today enact tho bounty
law by a larger majority than In
1314.
For tho current yonr tho lovy for
Tahblt bounty in Ilnrnoy Is two and
n hnlf mills, tho total levy for stato
and county purposes bolng 22 mills.

Mr. J. V. Mooro,
Sey. Redmond Commercial Club,
Itedmond, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
your loltor of Fobruary 28, In re
gard to tho practicability of tho boun
ty system In controlling Jnck rabbits,
Is received. In reply it may be stat
ed that tho Illologlcal Survey has
mado n study of tho bounty system
Tor over twenty years and, as far ns
can bo learned, extermination of nnl-
inol pests has never been accomplish
ed by bounties. It Is a general ex
porlenco thnt tho administration of
bounty laws Is attended by much
fraud. Also, the oxponso connected
with this method of controlling rab
bits Is out of all proportion with the
benefit gained and nearly always re
sults in the exhaustion of county or
Stato funds long boforo any perma
nent good can bo accomplished. As
an example, It may be cited that Har
ney county, Oregon, during tho per
iod from January 1, 1915, to Janu
ary 31, 191G, has paid bounties of
five conts ench on 952,537 rabbits.
The destruction of this enormous
numnor of rabbits has materially re
duced tho total number of rabbits,
according to tho county officials, but
owing to tho heavy drain on county
funds payment of bounties will soon
have to bo discontinued. As there
are still a great many rabbits left,
they will soon multiply to their pre
vious number. Many other similar

Rodent Poisoning

In connection with tho poisoning
of harmful rodents In Crook county
numerous inquiries havo beon receiv

birds.
Tho sportsmen of tho community
need hnvo no fenr of tho destruction
of gamo birds from this cause. Pois
oning operations on n largo Bcalo
havo been conducted by tho U. S.
Biological Survey for u number of
years on ninny National Flrcsts and
on large areas ot Government rnngo.
No authentic record Is thus fur ob
tainable, of tho killing of nny grouso,
quail, sago chickens, pheasants or
other gntnu birds by tho grain poison
used In experiments by tho Biological
Survey. Tho writer has poisoned
areas which woro visited within for

of tho poisoned grain, by Inrgo flocks
of sago hens nnd California quail,
but no birds were found dead nl
