PARSING COA TES CAMP AND FOLLOW OFFICE Bounties ROUTE Week Will Animals Is Small Total That predatory animals are a «rowing menace to stock interests in the coast counties, is the statement made this week by a trapper of wild animals in tne southern part of the county. Our informant state« that coyotes are becoming .numerous in his section, and that they are grow ing bolder in their attacks upon young domestic animal«, especially calves and lambs; Twenty years ago, coyotes were comparatively scarce in the Willa mette valley, but from all over the state come report« that they are in creasing on the west side of the mountains. The coyote was origin ally a plains animal, and the sage brush and desert areas were its natural habitat. But, as the eastern Oregon country began to settle up, the coyote crossed over the Cascade range and began to work down the western slopes, where it was afford ed timber aad brush shelter. The government is thinning them out by trapping in the Inland empire, which added to county bounties paid in that part of the state, makes life a burden to that species, hence they are coming west where they have more natural protection. A vigorous war will have to be waged in the coast counties against these predatory animals, or they will soon become one of the worst pests with which the stockman has to deal. Those who may have seen fit to ■criticise the Clerk’s office at times, as being a source of heavy expense to the taxpayer’s pocket-book, may be interested in knowing, according to Clerk Brimhall, that the fees for last year earned by the office more than half paid that office’s expenses. Last year the Clerk received in lees for recording liens, mortgages, chattels, etc., the sum of $2,426.66. Received for filing instruments, such as oomplaints, petitions, mar riage licenses, etc., $2,095.21. Sixty seven marriage licenses were Issued laat year, whirft netted the county, $201. During the year just past, the -county paid out on bounties on moles, $21.50, and $641.00 on wild cats, panthers, coyotes and seals.

IN LOCAL MARKETS The Steelhead run is on in full fore*, and fishermen on the bay re port fair catches. The Steelhead does not rise to a fly but confines itself to a diet of salmon eggs, prin cipally. It is a small fish as a rule, but Is highly esteemed for its excel lent meat. One man last Sunday caught 16 of these fish in the Nes- tucca near Beaver which he sold for 15c a pound. A good day’s work. Thesle fish find ready market in Portland where dealers just about double the price when retailed to the consumer. This accounts for the rich fishermen of Portland.

There are al ready 11,000 ex-soldiers now in the order, who wear the gold and blue emblem, and there is no good rea son why all of the boys and women, should not be enrolled in the Legion. Dr. J. E. Shearer, county post commander, with Adjutant Henry Helsel, and other officers of the Til- iaiuook post, propose to make an active effort to have Tillamook county a 100 per cent county. To that end, meetings will be held all over the county, and it is believed that two more posts will be estab- lished—one iu the southern and an other in the northern section of the county, for the sake of conven ience of the members, where dis tance figures in the matter of at tendance. Tillamook post No. 447, already has a local membership of 250, and is growing at a very satiafactory rate. SAILANT IS SON-IN-LAW THREATS AGAINST UFE ARE PASSEI W. C.
