Coyotes About Gone.
(P. H. Hall in National Woolgrower)
We have fewer coyotes in Oregon
now than for many years. In fact in
some sections they have disappeared,
two things account for this: first, the
presence of rabies and next a three
dollar bounty. Rabies has existed
among our coyotes in Eastern Oregon
for about five years, but it only
spread rapidly during the past year.
.Now we have it in every part of East
ern Oregon. It has killed thousands
of coyotes and is still killing what
few remain. Mad coyotes have caused
immense damage to stockmen, both
large and small. Thousands of cat
tle, horses, hogs and a few sheep
have been bitten either by coyotes or
dogs that had been bitted by mad
coyotes. Naturally a few people have
been bitten but these have been saved
by being treated with some kind of
vacine. The Oregon legislature rec
ognized tjie danger of this plague and
raised me Doumy on coyotes 10 i.i.wv,
This puts hunters to work every
where and in addition to the old coy
otes that were killed, thousands of
pups have been dug out of dens. It
looks now as if Oregon would not be
bothered with coyotes for some years
to come.
Forty-seven teachers in Morrow
county have received outlines for
their prescribed reading circle work,
and forty-one teachers have been sent
their certificates by the extension
division of the University of Oregon,
which conducts the reading circle
work for the state superintendent's
office. Of the whole number of pub
lic school teachers in the state, about
4500, more than 3700 have enrolled
and 2750 have received certificates.
The state school law now requires
study of one book on a pedagogical
subject each year and the taking of
an informal examination on the book.
The State University took over the
work in some counties a year ago,
and now conducts it in 33 counties.

Forest Notes,
The receipts for timber sales on
the National Forests in Washington
and Oregon during the first quarter
of the present fiscal year, show a
marked increase. In fact, the re
ceipts for this first quarter ure more
than half what they were for the en
tire previous fiscal year. This in
dicates a very decided increase in
onttine operations on the Govern
ment Forests.
A forest ranger onthe O lympic Na
tional Forest has reported a Douglas
fir tree which is over 1350 years old.
Hitherto the oldest Douglas fir of
which there was an accurate record
had 740 annual rings. Does any one
know of an older tree of this species
Professor II. A. Winkenwerder of
the University of Washington Forest
School, who has charge of the work
being done to preserve the forestry
building at the A. Y. P. grounds in
Seattle, was in Portland recently and
took a trip to the forestry building
at the Lewis & Clark grounds to learn
what Portland is doing to preserve
from decay the columns of this great
building. He seemed to think that it
will require great skill to preserve
both the Seattle and the Portland
forestry buildings, for it is a difficult
problem to combat the decay which
has a strong foothold in the logs.

Teachers and Purents Confer at Cor-vullis.
E
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Oct. 18. Oregon parents and
educational authorities will hold a
conference at Corvallis during the
last four days of this week, during
which time they will consider plans
of vivifying and improving the work
of the schools. The conference will
be held under the auspices of the
state Congress of Mothers and Parent-Teachers
Circle, and prominent
educators of Oregon and other posts
of the United States will be in at
tendance and deliver addresses. Of
the College speakers President W. J.
Kerr, Mrs. Kerr, Mrs. Mary E. Faw
cett, Mrs. E. B. Fitts and Miss Lillian
Francis will take leading parts. Mrs.
Anna Strong will represent the Uni
ted States Bureau of Education, and
Superintendent J. A. Churchill will
present the views of the public edu
cation department.
About four hundred official dele
gates are entitled to representation
and many of them will be present. In
addition to this number other delega
tions for local circles not having of
ficial connection with the state asso
ciation will attend. Hospitality will
be extended by the citizens of Cor
vallis and the State College will be
host at some of the public functions.
While this association is young it
has already accomplished a big work
by doing much to bridge the gap be
tween the home and the school. It
has found out much about the school
work that was profitable as well as
a good deal that needed improve
ment. But most valued of all its ac
tivities has been its willingness to
share in the responsibility for the
work and condition of the schools. It
has learned where parents may assist
and relieve overworked teachers in
caring for school property, Improv
ing and beautifying it, and in meas
ures necessary to the health, morals
and learning of their children, and
then set about securing the assist
ance. More profitable forms of school
activities have also been assented to,
and indeed initiated by local circles.
School gardens, industrial clubs and
standardization, have been objects of
especial care. The conference Is de
signed to strengthen this work.
The Hibernians at their meeting
on Sunday, Oct. 18, decided to hold
an invitation ball on Nov. 19, and
the following were appointed floor
managers, John Kenny, John Bros
nan and John McDevitt. The pros
pect for initiation of a large class of
candidates on Sunday, Nov. 21 is very
encouraging. The degree work on
this occasion will be done by the lo
cal teams. A supper will be served
on the evening of initiation day.
