It should be known that the new state bounty law, passed last winter, will go into effect on May 22. This law provides a bounty of $1.50 on each coyote or coyote pup, $5.00 for each gray or black wolf, $2.50 for each gray wolf pup or black wolf pup, timber wolf or timber wolf pup, $2.00 for each bob cat, wild cat or lynx, $10.00 for each mountain lion, panther or cougai. In order to obtain this bounty, one half of which Is paid by the state of Oregon, and the other half by the county, the person killing any of the anlmalH above mentioned mimt pre sent within six mouths of the date of killing to die county clerk of the county In which Raid animal wan killed the entire skin of such ani mal, which skin must Include all four of the paws, the tall and the Hkln of the entire head, Including both ears and eyeholes and the skin to the tip of the nose, and at the same time must make affidavit as to the kind of animal, when killed, etc., and In addition thereto there, Khali be attached and made a part thereof an affidavit of a resident taxpayer of the county, giving his postofflee ad dress and stating that he Is person ally acquainted with the applicant. The county clerk will be required to examine the entire skin and either cut off the two front paws five inches from the bottom or the entire scalp. Affidavits can be made before the county clerk only. The (ircut Kells-liolo Shows. Tuesday was circus day In Grants Push and the town was full of people from ,the country and surrounding towns. The merchants all did a rushing business on that day and no one has any complaint to make. The parade Bt 1 1 o'clock was one of the best seen here for some time, there being a great many fine horses In the procession as well as many other attractions. The performances in the afternoon and evening at the big tent were good and the cirrus man agers certainly deserve the credit of running a big show and clean per formances. They took away with them, besides the best wishes of the people, a goodly sum of money con tributed from all parts of the county. A Dlsonve-Spreadlny Locust. There Is a kind of locust which ap pears every seventh year, so the whe men who keep track of such things, tell us. Then there are others who claim that visitations of all sorts of disasters come regularly In cycles. The last announcement Is made by Commissioner Darlington, of the ileallh Department of New York city; who says that small-pox Is a re current disease, appealing every seventh year and It Is due this year. The health department, he claims, expei ( to vaccinate ,'!llO,!M)0 persons this spring. The municipality of New York has made many Investi gations and has accomplished numer ous Important results. The stamp ing out of Typhus fever just after the Civil War was a gnat victory lor l Ileal science, In this. M. stance they commenced the Investi gations by plachiK on a map the e aet Ideality of each rase as It oc curred. After a time It was idiown that these fevers broke out In dis tricts that had been filled la and the worst places were those which had been done fifty or more years before. Drainage of the foul spots ended the difficulty and made New York a comparatively healthy city. Mit Noyi'N, (be Itoslou linpcromitor.

Orchard at f 4,100 Per Acre. Grants Pass, Ore., May 19, 1909. To the Editor: I enclose you a clipping from the Palisade (Colo.) Tribune. The question that presents Itself to the Inquiring mind Is this: If there Is any soil in Colorado that can be made to pay a profit by or charding at a value of $4100 per acre what Is the orchardlst ia Rogue River valley going to get for his orchard in 8 to 10 years. Where careful study and Intelligent man agement is given and where all Ore gonlans believe that the soil and climate conditions are equally as favorable as Colorado. C. P. BISHOP. The clipping which Mr. Bishop re fers to Is as follows: "Palisade gained a world-wide re putation about a year ago when a Kansas fanner came here and paid $4000 per acre for some of Its fruit land. Another deal was made on Thursday of thi3 week by which a resident of Palisade, who has lived here for five years, paid nearly $1100 per acre, or $13, 500 for a tract of three and one-third (3 1-3) acres. The buyer was Ira Crisswdl and the seller, Olof Nelson, pur chased seven acres of land from R. IL Bancroft, for which he paid $7000. He was the first man In this district to pay $1,000 per acre, and at that time was told by his friends that he had paid entirely too much, lie Is now the first man In the coun try to sell this land for nearly $4100 per acre. Mr. Nelson had previously disposed of the balance of the seven acres, so that the whole tract brought him $21,460 on his original Investment of $7000. Mr. Bancroft bought the tract 14 years ago, when It was raw land, for $90 per acre and put on most of the Improve ments. In selling to Mr. Nelson for $1000 per acre he made a good profit. The improvements on the ground are valued at about $2000, which Is considerably less than those on the Crlssey tract which sold for $4000 per acre. The trees are from 2 to 14 years old and the orchard has always been a good producer. Palis ade (Colo.) Tribune. School Superintendent' Convention. County School Superintendents' Convention will be held at Salem on June 2S, nt which time the superin tendents of the various Oregon coun ties will confer. ,I:).;ephine county will be represented by Lincoln Sav age. On June L".) and 30, and July I the State; Teachers' Association will be held at Albany and It Is probable a number of teachers from Grants Pass will be In attendance. The Na tional Kducatlonnl Association this year meets at Denver July 5 to '.). The railroad fare from Grants Pass to Denver and return for this meet ing will be $n:i. nr.. Dorx'i Bite Theodore. Tln newspapers are saying that the locality in Africa where ex-President Roosevelt Is hunting is the Identical spot where the tse-tsi swarms In ureatest numbess. The bite of this Insect brings on what is known as a sleephu;. shkneii. in a large part of Pganda, where Mr. Roosevelt Is hunting, the population has been reduced diliili;; the la-t I'ev. years from SOO.iumi to liin.uni) b the bite of this fly which results In a sleeping sickness that in nearly ail i uses Is fatal. Wherever big game Is abundant, the tse-tse fly swarms, for the In sect needs large quantities of blood i. i . . on on iioui isiimeni, ;t ti 1 1 w ih rever this fly congregates, there Is danger of sleeping sickness, for all the larne mammals are subject to the disease and the fly carries it from them to man. The sleeping sickness is spreading rapidly In Africa Up wards of ten million persons have perished from It In rive years. Vast countries have been depopulated and Kuropean colonizers have difficulty In finding natives to collect rubber and Ivory for them. One hkh Prlt Ish authority declares that unless the disease Is checked all the money and effort expended on Africa may be re carded as thrown away. It Is certainly to be hoped that the ex president will not be bitten by this poisonous Insect which has been made the occasion of the new sp? pet al tides, which, we trust, are largely sensational. It stands to reason that this danger, If It really existed, was well known to Mr. Roosevelt and his friends. The Courier refuses to take any stoik In this sensational story. There U undoubtedly such a fly, but w( nee no evidence of the fatalltv of Its blt, to white men. hiM.,,d of joining a camp of field instruction nt American Lake this summer the infantry, cavahy, -ign;tl coriw and medical coipx of the Wash ington state n.llttU will go In!,, Vll;np in July at the Al.'isUii-Yuken-l'aclfle Exposition at .eattY. liv Oregon Pioneer Association. The 37th annual re-union of the Oregon Pioneer Association will be held In Portland on Friday, June 11 The annual business meeting of the Indian War veterans will be held, so that there will be several In attend- on the preceding day. It Is probable that there will be several In attend ance from this section. Round trip Rose Festival tickets may be secured at reduced rates, thus doing away for this year of the "certificate plan" tickets. Two members of the Constitutional Convention of Oregon held In 1857, are still alive, Hon. Geo. II. Williams, Hon. William H. Packwood and Hon. LaFayette Grover, and it is expected that the two former will be in attendance at this reunion. l ines for Tillamook Hootlegers. Judge Galloway fined Vincenz Jacob $300 and 20 clays in the Tilla mook county jail; W. Lanmvorthy, $500 and 30 days in jail; and How ard Edmunds, $500 and 20 days in jail, for violating the local option law. In the case of Howard Ed munds, Judge Galloway made the sentence heavy because he had been up before the courts and the Judge several times for gambling. The Judge remitted the jail sentences during good behavior. As a number of witnesses are al leged to have perjured themselves on the witness stand during local option cases in this county, it is ex pected that the Judge will advise the District Attorney to prosecute them. The case against Howard Ed munds is to be appealed to the Supreme Court, and his ball was placed at $1000. Jacob has paid his fine and Langworthy has gone to jail. Telegram.
