De partment of Agriculture, Portland office). In view of the prevalence of rabies among coyotes in eastern Oregon, the district forester at Portland, Oregon, has announced the results of some very effective work that has been done by the Forest Service in de stroying these animals. Of all the predatory animals killed in the dis trict last year by Forest officials, 31 per cent were killed on the Malheur National Forest by a method which Supervisor Bingham has found very successful. In one month last win ter Mr. Bingham killed 32 coyotes in the vicinity of John Day, devoting only half his time to the work. For the benefit of those who have been the victims of these mad animals, an extract from Supervisor Bingham's report on his method of dealing with the coyotes is given herewith: "A poison should be selected that will lose its effectiveness in a short time after being placed, bo that in case it is not picked up by a coyote It will do no damage. The North west Hide & Fur Co., Minneapolis, Minn., Bells a poison of this charac ter in the shape of a small capsule containing enough poison to immed iately kill a coyote. The price is $1.75 per 100 capsules. In ordering these capsules, It must be stated for what purpose they are intended so that the proper size will be secured. Different sized capsules are required for different animals. These cap sules are called .Uiredeath poison capsules.' "To prepare capsules for use, take a roll of old butter, preferably a lit tle rancid. Warm it until it is soft enough to handle well, but not enough to melt it. Care must he used not to touch the butter with the hands. Use a small wooden pad dle that has no human scent to it. With this paddle cut off a piece of butter about the size of a marble, lay it on an unscented board and flatten it out; place the capsule on the strip of butter;' roll the butter around the capsule, leaving it as nearly round as possible. Take a small pair of wooden pincers and place the butter rolls In a jar that is free from scent. Never use metal to handle the butter or capsules always wood." Then let the butter rolls freeze or harden and keep them in a coo! place until used. The carcass of an old cow or horse should be used as bait a fresh carcass preferred. Place the bait on top of knoll or hill, such as coyotes frequent. Avoid ground covered with brush. Do not kill the bait by shooting, but by sev ering the main arteries in the neck. All operations must be done from horseback, so that no odor will be left on the ground to keep the coy otes away. Throw two or three doz en capsules around the carcass, eith er in the snow or under natural de bris. In conclusion, Mr. Bingham says : "Too much emphasis cannot be laid on the necessity of leaving no human scent, either on the poisoned rolls of butter, or on the ground about the carcass. Firearms should never be carried. One might occa sionally be able to shoot a coyote if he had his gun along, but in doing so he would do more harm than good. Everything used in the preparation and placing o t lie bait should be absolutely free from scent. One should never dismount within a half a mile of the carcass for any purpose, nor leave anything about the bait that could possibly carry a human scent." Putting on Addition. S. P. Garrigues is adding a sub stantial addition to Heppner Garage. This will be occupied by the machine shop which has been leased by Mr. Jacob King. The addition Is 56 x 60 feet, is of wood on concrete foun dation and having concrete floor. All machinery of the garage will be plac ed in this room and the partition in the main garage will be removed, leaving additional space for the banking of cars. Mr. Bowker, in speaking of Jacob King, Btates that he Is a highly effi cient machinist and possesed of a thorough knowledge of automobile construction. The machine shop .and all repair work is under his exclus ive supervlsin, and the public will tlnd him a courteous and kindly little gentleman to deal with, as well as a man who thoroughly understands his business.

J LITERARY PROSRfiM WILL I SCHOOL ATHLETICS The High School Literary Society will hold lu next program on Friday evening, Feb. 26, at 7:30 o'clock. This number will consist of music, songs, literary productions and the drama, "Sunset," a play in one act. Tiiis play is founded upon Lord Ten nyson's second and longer form of "the Sisters.' " Never morning woro To evening, but some heart did break." The poet's thought has been used by Jerome K. Jerome as the theme of his beautiful comedy-drama 'Sun set." The following is the cast: "SUNSET" Scene Drawing room in a coun try house. Time Present. The characters are named in the order of their appearance. Lois, daughter of Mr. Rivers.... Grace Van Vactor Joan, stepdaughter of Mr. Rivers .Helen Aiken Mr. Rivers, pompous old gentle man Clarence Scrivner Azariah Stodd, a country bumpkin Orain Wright Lawrence Leigh, the man in the case Harley Adkins Aunt Drusilla, sister of Mr. Rivers Helen Aiken This drama will be the best pre sented by the Society this year. We trust that you will want to hear it. An admission of 20 cents straight will be charged. Receipts will be used to defray athletic expenses. In '.his connection the officers of the school would like to say that athle tics are not supported by the public ns they should be. All modem schools have an athletic department and it takes money to conduct tho same. In a neighboring town tlv other evening the merchants locked their stores and went to the basket ball game. After the game they op ened tiieir stores again. We need more of this spirit in Heppner. We have never asked the public to di rectly assist us in carrying on our athletic work. We never Bliall, but we should like to have a more en thusiastic support than we have had In the past. Can't you find time to attend the evening's entertainment mentioned above? Elks Will Be Busy This Week. Heppner Lodge No. 358, B. P. O.

(From Cottage Grove Sentinel) Olaf Berggren, a well-to-do resi dent of the London country and own er of the Stapleton mill at London, was found dead in the road on the W. W. Shortridge hill Tuesday morn ing. His overturned wagon, to which the horses were still attached, was a few feet further on. The lines had -become entangled in such a way as to hold the horses. The wagon had tipped over on the grade and it is thought Mr. Berggren was caught un derneath in such a way as to break his neck and cause instant death. His face was badly bruised and bloody, but none of the injuries were suf ficient to cause death. The body was found at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning by T. J. Geer, A. L. Lent and Archie Gilham. Death was so evidently the result of accident that the coron er thought no inquest was necessary. It was evident from tracing the wag on tracks back along the road that the horses had been guiding them selves and at several places they had narrowly missed upsetting or running into some obstruction. Mr. Berggren had been in Cottage Grove Monday afternoon and while here secured a shipment of liquor. He passed the Wills place, about two miles from where he was found, at ' about 9 o'clock that night and it is thought that the accident occurred probably an hour later. Mr. Berggren leaves a wife and three sons, all residents of London. He came from Heppner, Oregon, about a year ago and was a highly esteemed resident of the community. He had heavy interests in Eastern Oregon. He was 62 years of age. Mr. Berggren was well known at Heppner, having resided west of town for two seasons on the farm now owned by Messrs. Brown, Cummings and Stapleton. He was well respect ed here as a man of honesty and in dustry, though given to excess in the use of liquor and when in his cups he was often reckless of his personal safety and on different occasions nar rowly escaped serious injury. It was through Mr. J. C. Stapleton of this place that he secured his property at London, Oregon. Shadow lie Supper. There wil be a "Shadow Pie Sup per" at the Hodsdon School House, Dist.
