The New Ilounty Laws.
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.

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

tendents of the various Oregon coun
ties will confer. ,I:).;ephine county

a number of teachers from Grants

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

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.
