HEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOHD. ORE. SUNDAY. OCTOBER 30, 1960 CompouncM080 Losses by Coyotes Noted at Public Hearing on Program (Continued from page 1) "There are at least 1,000 coyotes in the county. Half of them are females. Figuring each female will have six pups do you see where we stand? Walsh asked.' "We must' stop fighting amongst' ourselves and all declare war on the coyotes. I have, seen one coy ote take a buck and one coy ote take a doe and I have wit nesses. Three coyotes can kill the biggest buck!"': Walsh argued that If "the dog people will work hard enough so their dogs'won't be killed, we won t Kill one! Coyotes also kill grouse." "We are losing sight of our objective," Niedermeyer re marked. "Do we or do we not have a coyote problem? How can we control it? If we em ploy additional government hunters Mr. Patterson can tell you how much tax money that would cost. Not Scattered "The poison would not be scattered indiscriminantly in the valley. It's ridiculous to assume pheasant would eat the meat and would get the pois on. Location of the poison meat stations would be 15 to 20 miles from the valley floor. All stations will be post ed and put out when snow is on the ground. Nobody will be hunting, camping or pic nicking in the area then. Those running their hounds after cats can do it in the other half of the valley," Nicdermeyer said. ."Directions for the use; of the poison Mrs. Marshall read are directions like you would find on any household item advising extreme caution in handling. The point is, there ere not a lot of people put ting out the i stations' (two men,' according to Patter on)," he said Other arguments against the program included: manu- facturer's directions Indicate it is toxic to man;, there is no known . antidote: actual re suits from the three poison stations "in; the , Lake Creek area last year are not known definitely: more livestock are- lost to dogs in Oregon than coyotes; poison has no preferences, It kills any ani mal eating it; the coyote does more good than harm by con trolling the rodent population and, seldom kills sheep; sta tions in the hills Won't kill the coyotes when the problem is in the low valley area, Bill Bray said. Two dogs have been killed by . 1080 in Jackson county, according to i local veterinar ian. There are no government controls over sale of 1080, only by the manufacturers. Patterson explained that Jackson county at one time had five government hunters and now has one. Southwest Oregon is allowed a maximum of 70 poison stations and no more than 12 can be put out in any locality, he said. He said he is the only one au thorized to use the poison. It will not kill a person who gets the poison in a scratch, he em phasized. Not Urging Use Judge Miller added that neither the county court nor Patterson is urging use of the poison. They are merely ex plaining the program's pur pose, he said. Stockmen re quested the stations be set out, he said. , - "I'm a hound man myself," Patterson said. "If I had my preference I would use straight field traps. But my Job is to present the cheapest possible solution of this prob lem to the county court." A dog is more likely to get a cyanide gun because this device must be used expan- For District Attorney . . ' , , Elect , Alan B. Holmes An attic etmandliif ( wide ind ' virlid axparlanta background.

Meadow Mouse Population The eruption of the meadow mouse in eastern Oregon "set the table for coyotes. Coy ote litters doubled in size and bobcats more than doubled their litters, Patterson said. Summertime coyote popu lation is in the high country. They are in the low country in the winter and generally follow the migratory deer pat tern. Poison bait stations are set in the intermediate range to catch them, he added. A representative of the Green Springs Cattlemen's association said his group had not been bothered by coyotes State Motor Court Group Opposed To Ballot Measure Ed Bolt, Gold Hill, presi dent of the Oregon Motor Court association, Saturday said his organization has gone on record strongly opposing ballot measure 15, the bill board control measure, be cause "it denies our members freedom of communication, a freedom which is basic to our country's way of life." Bolt said the "outlawing of outdoor advertising along our state's most important highway systems is as criti cal a blow to motel operators as the outlawing of newspa per advertising would be to grocery stores." Eliminate Outdoor Ads In a released statement, the motel association head point ed out ' that measure 15 would eliminate completely all present outdoor advertis ing whatsoever along all of Highways 99 and 30 east of Portland, except in cities. "These two highways are our tourist mainstreams," Bolt said. "Take away our right to advertise on these highways and you will put many of oiir members com pletely out of business." "But what Is worse," Bolt's statement said, "is that the measure restricts all tourist facility advertising along 16 additional Oregon highways to signs within five miles of pur places of business. This is ridiculous. As anyone in the tourist business knows, de cision as to where to stay or where to eat or what to see are usually made up long County Courf To Decide Problem o Serving Papers The county court expects to make a decision this week on the problem of serving civil papers by two county of fices, County Judge Earl Mil ler said Friday. About a month ago the county court received a letter from Sheriff Joe Walsh stat ing that the civil department'! workload had increased be yond the physical ability of the deputies to handle it ana give proper service. At the same time, Consta ble Michael C. Loftus's work load has decreased, accord ing to the constable's reports, Miller said. Complicating the situation further, two civil deputies! John O'Hara and Glenn Wright, recently had heart attacks. The sheriff's office has been using crimi nal deputies to fill in, and has hired another man on a part- time basis. Comider All Angles Miller noted that budget money allowed the sheriffs civil department has risen steadily during recent years "I want to consider all an gles before another man is added to the staff," the coun ty judge said. Miller said so far he has received letters on the prob lem from all but two credit bureaus. He received a letter recently from Edward Branch- field, president of the Jack son County Bar association. The countv court also re ceived a written opinion from District Court Judge E Rov Bashaw on the constable's service and his evaluation of the number of papers process ed from his court on small claims and handled by the sheriff's office. Deputy District Attorney Gerald Scannell has also pre sented the court with a legal opinion on what authority the county court -has over the constable, Miller said. None of the communica tions will be made public un til the county court makes a decision, Miller said. County To Provide Bus for Workers Countv Commissioner Ralph James said Friday the county will designate a bus to trans port members of the county's welfare work program. Friday, the county had four men in the program and six the day before. The crew has been cleaning up tin cans along Sterling creek rd, in the Jacksonville area, James said. before the tourist gets with in five miles of the spot," the motel official stated.

Why? Because they do not have confidence in their own national ticket." Whistlestop speeches in Il linois: Sen.- John F. Kennedy is trying to "scare" Amer icans into voting Democratic, but "It won't work because the American people have more sense than Kennedy has Note that I said sense,- not dollars. He s got more dollars than you have but you have more sense than he does." Speech at Mattoon, 111.: "Sen. Kennedy is betting on a recession. But the Amer ican people are betting on prosperity. Kennedy is wrong and the people are right, and that's why they are not going to elect him on Nov. 8."

The chamber board report ed "great pride" in the work of the administration and the school board, as well as the high quality" of the teachers in the system.

Ken nedy must have "a hole, in the head" if he thinks Amer ica has been standing still un der the Eisenhower adminis tration. Speech at Tolono, 111.: "America will not be pushed around any place 'in the world." ' ' Sen. John F. Kennedy: Speech at Scranton, Pa The nation's economy must be "put back on the track. When the economy is not growing, then few businesses are look ing for new sites in which to locate plants. And when 159 areas of substantial unemploy ment are competing for the few new plants that are being built, no single area like Scranton can do much on its own. "And, what is worse, most economists now agree, that an other recession is underway. The vice president has de nied this, of course, but the figures speak for themselves The gross national product has fallen. Business is at a lower level than six months ago. Steel is at barely half capacity, home - building at two-thirds. Unemployment has been at recession levels for months, and the hours of work and take-home pay of factory workers has fallen. 'If our country is strong at home, we will be respected abroad. If we solve the pres sing problems of our own peo ple, then we will be looked to for guidance by the new and emerging peoples of the world.
