FRIDAY, MARCH
TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT
THREE COUGERS HERE,
SAYS ANIMAL EXPERT
Stanley Jewett, who is at the head
of the federal department in this
state for the eradication of predatory
wild animals, was in this city re­
cently, and made the statement that
there were not more than three coug­
ars in Tillamook county. A govern­
ment hunter by name of Fairboy from
Yamhill county, with a pack of
hounds, is now camped up on Wilson
river, and is after a cougar that has
long been ranging in the Wilson river
section, and occasionally making a
kill of domestic animals. Thus far,
the wily cougar, which is presumed
to be an old one, has eluded the rifle
of the hunter. The dogs have been oil
its trail several times, but it refuses
to tree, and when closely pressed
fights and then runs. It has been
chased from the Wilson river over
, on to the Trask, and still bids tie­
fiance to the government hunter and
his pack of hounds; but-sooner or
later, the wit of the man, and the
persistence of the dogs will run the
old timer to earth. Then, according
to Mr. Jewett, but two cougars will
remain. But there are hunters in this
county who say Mr. Jewett hasn't
counted all of the cougars in Tilla­
mook county, and that in stead of
three of those animals in the county
of “many waters,” there are dozens
of them. It is a well known fact that
cougars are difficult to count; and
you do not always see the tracks of
all the big cats. That they see you
if you happen in their range, goea
without saying; but Beeing them, is
altogether another question.
How­
ever, Mr. Jewett says there are only
three cougars in this county, and that
is official until more are discovered.

SURPLUS WAR MATERIAL NOW
BUILDING ROADS
The Congressional enactment that
surplus war material, useful in the
construction of roads, be given to the
several states for that purpose, has
worked out to such good effect that
more than $300,000,000 worth of
trucks, tractors, shovels, graders, dig­
ging machinery, concrete mixers, and
other instruments useful in road con­
struction, are now actively at work
in the several states carrying out the
policy of Congress to further road
building by the resources of the na­
tion as well as those of the states.
. Proponents of the idea that the
present Federal Aid plan, by which
the Government gives money to the
Btates to match their appropriations
for road building, is but the fore­
runner of the day when the National
Government will build, own, control
and forever maintain a back-bone sys­
tem of national highways, find in this
cooperation of the National Govern­
ment but another reason for the Na­
tion to take over the building of from
100,000 to 200,000 main north and
Bouth and east and west highways.
It is contended by friends of this
idea in Congress that if the Nation
