As Mark Antony said of Caesar, "tho evil that men do lives after thorn, tho good Is oft Interred with tholr bones," and so It Is, porhaps, with legisla tures, Dut wo do not speak Just hero of tho lato lamented session In any dis paragement, or to discuss Us larger deeds and apparent misdeeds. Rath er Is it our purposo to remark In passing upon tho record of our local representatives. Mr. Durdlck, of Redmond, has eomo through his first legislative session with distinct credit. Ho has provod hlinsolf capable, llkcablo and balanced. Ho votod on tho common sense sido of nenrly uvory question nnd won tho confldonca and respect of his follow tnombcrs. From a local standpoint ho has played fair and has worked with his Joint represent ative, Mr. Forhos, for tho best inter ests of this territory. For Vornon A. Forbes, of Rend, this was a third Bcsslon. Ho ontercd It with tho ndvnntngcB of experience nnd prestige; he has omergeil from it with a rucord which In second to that of no other member. As discerning a Judgo of legislative efficiency as C. C. Chapman, of tho Oregon Voter, who hns been ut tho capital throughout tho session, Bays, "Forbes is tho smnrtsoi man In the lower houso," That Is pralso worth having, and pralso well ileaorvcd In this instance. Mr. Forbes made good, Tho re cord of hU votcn Is worth examining. It stands tho test, both In Htato-wldo matters nnd whoro local affairs nro concornod. For Deschutes county ho certainly "brought homo tho ba con," nud In nil things labored dili gently for his constituents. Hero, In dotal), Is what Mr. Chap in nn says about Representative Forbes In a rocont Issuo of tho Ore gon Votor, whllo discussing county division aut'stlons: "Tho Deschutes county boosters nro succeeding In gottlng tho legisla ture to ratify u county division, Thoro was a voto, And on tho face of tlio re turns Deschutes county was cut off from Crook county, Fraud was al leged, and tho caso is now In tho courts for determination. "Dut tho ontorprlslng poopla of Jlond, tho county seat of tho now county, nro not satisfied to lot tho courtu toko tholr coursu. They nro ably represented by Vornon A, Forbes, who Ih bo strong In tho Houso of Representatives that ho car ried tho bill through ami probably will got It through tho Hcnato. "Forhi'H In tho smartest man of nil tho active floor leaders In tho lower house. Ilu Is quick, experienced nnd resourceful. Ho Is making his big fight for Deschutes county, nnd Is strong enough to get fuvorablo action In tho upper houso," Ho was strong enough. Tho voto In tho Bountu wus unanimous, complying with these requirements will b(5 rejected. No essays will bo returned. Prizes will bo awarded upon tho following points: 1, Originality; 2, Accuracy of statement; 3, Manner of treatment; 4, Orthography, syntax and punctu ation; C, Neatness and legibility. Tho prizes aro offered to encour ago lovo of country and tho study of its hlutory.

Four clubs wero formed, with a total membership of 34 boys and girls, who will rnlso potatoes this year for competition In tho stato prize, Clubs woro form ed at Demi, Doschutcs and Tumnlo. Tho Pilot Uutto Potato club elected Ray Womstaff president and Jessie Stooky for secretary. Tho Juniper Covo Potato club named Clydo Smith for president and Mildred Wlttomau for socrotary. Tho Deschutes Potato club elected Kathorlno Rcdflcld nnd Kdltli Gray to fill tholr respective offices, whllo tho Tumnlo Potato club undo Holbert Wallace president nnd Wnyno Wright Bocrotory. Tho plan of those hoys nnd girls clubs Is primarily to Instill a lovo of agriculture within tho young peo ple, to teach them to usu tholr hands profitably and to iiBslst tho general ngrlculturu of tho country In help- lug to establish n uniform grado of potato and demonstrate Its valuo In tho county.

It has boon estimated that tho nn nual ogg production of tho I'nlted States Is over $1500.000.000 enough to build two Panama Canals, or equal to our imuuul wheat crop. Nearly S por com of this Immense fortune is lost annually in tho marketing. Improper handling botwoen tho farm and market. Just now eggs aro bo ginning to roduco In price, and it I; characteristic of farmers to seek some I method whoroby a fair prico can bo procured. Logically the best mothod for tho accomplishment of that end 1b-In co-operation; whoroby tho eggs nro graded, candled and guaranteed to such nil extent that thoy aro worthy of tho hotter prico.

Keep In a cold placo, "(D) A modification of tho above mpthod woll worthy of recommenda tion when tho strychnlno Is used in looso form, Is that tho cavities for tho poison bo mado with a red hot iron, thus forming a pocket with scorched walls which' prevont tho strychnlno from boing absorbed by tho lard. "Good poison baits nro little moro than half tho gamo the romalndor being In tholr propor uso In tho field. It may bo said that poison baits should bo placed as carefully ns aro traps. Tho following methods nro recommonded: "(1) Placo tho poison lard balls In nnd about enrensscs, and especially on trails twenty to a hundred feet from them. Old enrenssos aro attrac tive to coyotes oven when little moro than bones and hair romaln. Thoro Is no bettor placo for poIboii than In or near tho remnants of an old sheep carcass. "(2) A method which has stood tho tost of long usage Is, "Tho Drag Trail," mado by dragging part of a carcass, entrails or other animal mat ter bohlnd a part or saddle horso. A fresh horso skin makes an excel lent drag, as tho operator can stand on it whllo placing poison or trap, and remount his horso without leav ing a sign of his presence Poison bnlts should not ho placed too thick ly along such trulls. Six or eight to tho ratio urn usually sufficient to nccount for such coyotes as discover nud follow the lino. "(3)- Poison baits may bo placed nnywhoro along stock or cross-coun try trails in connection with a scent attractive to coyotes. Tho rotten fish scent (government formula) is espe cially usotul. A fow drop 8 on brush or grass tufts usually causo coyotes to Investigate. Baits within two or thrco foet of such scent spots aro likely to bo found by tho animals. "(4) Poisoning largo baits or carcasses is not recommended. Tho practlco Is largely responsible for much of tho objoctlon on tho part of residents to poisoning. Largo baits without poison are useful ns poison Btatlons, especially whon tho snow is doop. Whenever coyotes signs aro no ticed about such "stations," tho smalt lard-sugar baits may bo used to good advantage "Caro and precaution to avoid acd dents in poison operations cannot bo too strongly advocated. Propor ap plication and supervision will do much to ovorcomo the existing preju dice against this valuablo and econ omical mothod for controlling preda tory animals. Further suggestion on tho subject of poisoning will appear in tho National Wool Qrowcr as thoy aro determined from tho several large experiments no win progross under direction of tho government.
