Since 1972 there has been no
control on the coyote, and the
population has increased.
When the farmer, rancher or
Fish and Game Department
had their own methods of
controlling the coyote, the
coyote population wasn't the
severe problem it is now.
When I was growing up on the
ranch, if we saw a coyote on
the ridge, it was coyote
hunting time. I dont believe
we ever maintained a 50 per
cent kill average, but the
control was effective.
Now I read of 19 deaths of 38
monitored fawns during the
winter of 1971-74 by the Oregon
Fish and Wildlife Depart
ment; 75 per cent was caused
by coyotes. The coyote popu
lation is outstripping that of
the mule deer. Now you have
to apply to the Environmental
Protection Agency to kill the
coyote. Nuf said.
The surgery patients at the
hospital last Friday will have
a story to tell for a while. It
seems they were scheduled for
early morning surgery, the
anesthesiologist was delayed
and the surgery was resched
uled. Meanwhile there was an
accident on Highway 80N near
Boardman and an anesthesio
logist was needed at the scene
of the accident. It was late
Friday evening before sur
gery was completed on the
all-day "no liquids or food
diet" patients. One patient
commented later, it really
wasn't too bad, rather re
minded me of the TV program
"You Are There."
I cover the court house news
and hear so much that I would
really like to share with you,
about the people who spend
most of the time working in
the court house. It's not news,
just plain gossip. Pat Wright,
our county health nurse,
seems to have a black thumb.
House plants don't stand a
chance around her. Last week
a fellow employee walked into
Pat's office to examine her
sweet potato plant. I mention
ed to Pat that anyone could
grow a sweet potato plant, she
grinned and said. "Mine has
mold on it." Well Pat don't
worry about it, your patients
thrive under your tender,
loving care.
During the county court
meeting last Wednesday, Jud
ge Paul Jones mentioned if the
telephone bills were not cut
down, the telephone budget
was going to be deleted by
spring. Of course the 20 per
cent increase that the tele
phone company now charges,
was not figured in the county
budget.
Then we can get into the
conversation of teenagers and
phones. From 4 p.m. til 9 p.m.,
my phone will give nothing but
a busy signal. In fact it's
gotten so bad, I hardly recog
nut my son without a tele
phone receiver growing out of
his ear.
The Sunday Oregonian (wo
man's section) has an adver
tisement for a film called
"Happy New Year." I don't
know if the film is one you
should see or not. but the copy
is verv clever and humorous.

out of gas some two miles
from the cabin. Then there are
those people who take off
Wednesday night for their
snowmobiling fun and it's
possible they have the moun
tains all to themselves too.
I have heard many stories
about drivers killing animals (
on the highways but this one
takes the cake. Recently a
young couple were driving
home from lone when the
driver fell asleep at the wheel.
The pickup veered from the
highway through the farmers
fence and out into the pasture.
The pickup finally stopped and
there in the field lay a dead
heifer. You guessed it the
pickup hit the heifer, and in
her own field.

RESTORATION OF
SCHOOLHOISE
Restoration of the Democrat
Gulch Schoolhouse is ahead of
the completion date of June 1.
according to Mike Sweeney,
chairman of the Morrow
County Bicentennial Commit
tee. Work has not progressed as
rapidly as some people wish,
however, the inclement wea
ther has been an important
factor, continued vandalism
also makes incompleted pro
jects more expensive than
originally planned.
Considerable work has been
pledged and with a small
grant from the State Bicen
tennial Committee for needed
material, along with private
donations the project should
be completed by the scheduled
completion date.
