in Courts of States, Tells of Its
Plans.
That tho county cour t bo done

court, will be tho probable recom
mendation of the commission ap
pointed by Governor West to reform
tho judicial procedure of the state,
according to A. E. Reames, a mem
ber of the commission who returned
from Portland Tuesdny.
"The board has decided to recom
mend that the county judge's office
bo abolished, tho nffairs of the coun
ty to be carried ou by a board of
three supervisors or commissioners,"
states Mr..Kcames. "Then all pro
bate matters would be carried direct
to tho circuit court whore most of
tliem aro now carried on appeal. This
would simplify matters.
"If this is done tho circuit court
will hold monthly terms nnd the

So numerous nro tho wolves in tho
Crater national forest thut a hunter
has been omploycd to got on their

at tho request of M. L. Erlckson, su
pervisor of tho local forest.
Cattlemen havo been complaining
for some time of the activity of tho
wolves. M. L. Hanley states that ho
has lost no less than 20 head of stock

wolves. Charles Hooft, another cat
tleman, is also complaining, as is Rusa

wolves been as bold or" aa numerous.
According to M. L Erlckson, over
100 head of cattlo last year wero
killed by wolves and that this num
ber will bo exceeded this year. Rang
ers havo succeeded In killing two of
the animals, but traps and not guns

and the local forestry officials feel
confident that he will bo successful
in killing a largo number of tho
wolves. Mr. Erlckson states that ono
of his rangers recently saw a bunch
of nlno but that they wero too far
distant for him to succeed In killing
one.
Mr. Hammersley left for tho tim

guns. He knows tho traits of the an
