HAS COUGAR RECORD
O. W. Woodworth, living on a
farm about three miles north of Mer
lin and near Three Pines, holds,' we
believe the Southern Oregon record,
at Ioast, for the killing of cougars,
having dispatched 16 full-grown
animals since Inst June, 10 of these
being females. The first duy of April
two cats were added to his UhL
Mr. Woodworth does his hunting
with two steel traps set within a log
enclosure which Is constructed In
the form of a V, but with the apex
open sufficiently to admit the free
passugo of any animal. The bait Is
staked near the point and two traps
set within the enclosure. There In
ample room for the animals to pasH
between tho two traps or between
either trap and the wall. No at
tempt Is made to conceal the traps
from the cougars, for this would be
impossible, but In his effort to se
cure the bait from Its fastening the
cougar will lose caution and In its
tugging and pulling Is sure to step
into one of the traps, and then cap
ture Is a small matter.
Mr. Woodworth Is seeking neither
bounty nor glory but wishes to rid
his neighborhood of the posts in or
der to lossen his poultry yard losses.
Last Wednesdny tho local freight
crew on No. 25, which runs between
Roseburg and Grants Pass, killed a
large cougar as they were coming
through the Cow Creek canyon. They
first saw the animal about a mile
tho other side of West Fork lying
on the hillside near an old log sun
ning himself. When they pulled Into
the station a couple of tho boys Im
mediately procured a gun and went
back after their game which they
easily bagged.

GRANTS PASS TEAM
HOODOOS JACKSONVILLE
It was a good game taking it all
the way through. In fact, it was the
best game that the Grants Pass fans
have had the opportunity of witness
ing this season. It was murmured
around that the Jacksonville boys
thought they had a cinch, but In this
they were badly mistaken, and it on
ly took about one Inning of good
fast ball playing to show them that
they were up against the real thing,
and now they're wondering how it
happened.
It started off like this with Jack
sonville at bat: Wilson first knocked
a bad one to center which ought to
have been good for one base at
least, but Gllmore was right there
with long legs and the big mitt ho
there was nothing to It and Mr. Wil
son took his place on the bench;
next man up walks, Ulrlch singles to
second and Is an easy out, S. Wilson
hits a safe one over center and Sex
ton, who, In the meantime, had
stole second, came home making
the first score and the next man fan
ned. Williams first up for Grants
Pass takes first on error, goes to
second while H. Faubion Ib blanked
at first; S., Faubion singles and
Wood's long fly brings In the two
runs, tying the score with one to
spare; Stephenson singles to first,
Smith hits an easy one to short, who
makes a pretty double from second
to first retiring the side.
After this there was nothing do
ing for either side until the eighth
when Jacksonville made one more
run tlelng the score, but the local
boys put up two more men across
the plate in the last half of the
same Inning which made the people
In the grand stand smile and. feel
a little more kindly toward them, so
that's the way It stood the rest of
the game, 4 to 2 In favor of Grants
Pass.
Young Osburn who pitched for
Grants Pass Is another busher from
the Applegate valley and If he con
tinues to wing 'em over the way he
did Sunday, will surely make a big
leaguer some day. Thla was his
first game In town and he certainly
made good. He halls from the same
nlck-o-the-woods as did "Jud"
Pernoll, which goes to show that the
Applegate country Is certainly the
place to turn out good ball players
The boys go to Jacksonville next
Sunday for a return game and they
expect to do even better by them
than they did last Sunday.

The Telephone Situation.
The telephone subject will not
down as Is evidenced by its coming
up in the city council again last
evening. As they say, the council
is up against It this time. The Citi
zens Telephone Company asked for
a referendum two weeks ago and
last night the subject came up again.
If It Is referred to the people it Is
claimed it will cost the taxpayers
about $300 and the telephone com
pany nothing. If a franchise Is
granted the expense to the city will
be nothing. Now, here is the rub.
A majority of the council feel cer
tain that If it Is left to a vote of the
people It will carry two to one, and
we hear not a few citizens general
ly make the Bame claim, and the
consequence is the council hardly
know just what to do about It. Those
opposed to granting a franchise hesi
tate to let the matter go to tho peo
