E cho . Or., Jan. 1.—Today’s rabbit
drive at the mouth ot Butter Creek was
the most successful ever held in Oregon,
and it is doubtful it a larger kill was
ever made anywhere.
lliree milts ol
wire netting had been put up t°r l;,e
Wing. Only about 300 people partici-
paled in the th ive, w hich started at 11 I
o’clock, and was all over in about 20 ,
minutes.
A large crow d had lieen expected from
Heppner and Pendleton, but the trams
were so late that but few came, and thev
got here too late to be patties in the
drive.
It was an impossible task to
cnint the rabbits slaughtered, hut esti­
mates of the number run irom 8000 l<>
10,000. Not only was the correl full of
rabbits, but along the wings there were
windrows ol them, where the drivers had
killed them.
Two covotes were also
caught in the drive and clubbed to death
One thousand of the carcases were
brought here to the cannery, that being
all that could he taken care of before
spoiling. Hal rv Rogers took 1500 ol them
home to cook up for hog food, ami the
balance were left to rol upon the ground.
I he rapid increase in the number ot
rabbits in this neighborl oo<l is phenorn-
• ual. '1 he sagebrush is alive with them
and they are becoming very destructive,
especially so to voting alfalfa. Drives
have been held here every few da vs to
decrease the number, Imt todays drive
was the most successful of all. and on

er drive at the same place. As four or
five got away todav, where one was
caught, it is expected that theie will be
as manv killed in the coining drive as
there were today.
Mr. Ford, the official photographer
for (he O. R & N., was here today and
took many views of the drive, He will
return to the next drive, al which there
will be it larger attendance.
