was induced to talk about his im
ported Canadian deer hounds, which
arrived after much fuss and red tape
from Alberta, Canada.
They are
about three months old, and Sira«.
has already begun their training.

There are a number of fine hound«
in Tillamook county, but as it la
against the law to hunt deer with
hounds, they are now used to chaae
pewees, which are becoming very
bothersome in picking the buds from
young fruits trees. The hound« are
taught to smell of a dead pewee, and
after that they take their trails and
chase them up a tree where they
may be finished off with buckshot
from the family shotgun.
Siras thinks a great mistake was
made in prohibiting hounds from
running deer. Many of the old pio
neers have so hunted in times past,
and somehow the baying of a hound
on a hot trail had. come to mean
music to their ears
“Now due to medlesome work of
peanut statesmen in our legisla
ture,” said Siras, “we have to tram
these noble animals to hunt pewee«,
and 'grind’ squirrels. It seems that
our liberties are elowly being taken
away from us by such jackass legit-
lation.”
Many people who love to hear the
baying of a hound on a deer trail,
will agree with Mr. Buckstrap, that
half of the joy of hunting was when:
