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-

son said. Meat can be dosed

to kill canines but not con
sistently other animals.
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

association said his group had

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.

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.
