LONG TRAPS HALF
BREED COYOTE IN
JAMIESON HILLS
When Robert (Pud) Long, gov­
ernment hunter for Malheur coun­
ty, inspected his coyote traps above
Jamieson last Saturday, he found
a live, yelping mongrel in a trap
which was neither coyote nor dog
but an unusual mixture of the two.
Colored like t h e coyote, t h e
stranger had a natural bob tall
and the short nose of the Shepherd
dog. His legs were shorter than
those of the coyote aud the rear two
had the extra toes of the dog. He
was undoubtedly a hybrid of coyote
and Shepherd dog parentage, said
Long.
He brought the animal to Nyssa
alive and a number of people in­
spected the badly frightened mon­
grel. He was later killed and Long
stated that the unusual hide would
be sent to the Portland office of the
biological survey.

BRING DOWN 11
CANADIAN GEESE
Eleven huge birds— fine, fat Can­
adian honkers, were the prizes of a
Sunday goose hunt for Artie Rob­
ertson, Dr. E. D. Norcott, Ed. W il­
son and Robt. Long. They bagged
the big birds on the Owyhee river
above the Owyhee dam
which is
famous for its goose hunting in this
locality. The geese averaged better
than 12 pounds each.
The hunters were jubilant when
they returned with the unusually
fine catch. It ls not uncommon for
a party of hunters to bag from one
to three geese but eleven caused a
young sensation here.
The party reported geese more
plentiful than they have observed
in years. Several have oven been
sighted on Snake river near town.
Mallard ducks are also very plenti­
ful In this vicinity this fall, assur­
ing good hunting within a stone's

ed materially. W hat the legislature
must consider, however when It reduces
the license fees— as It will— ls that the
cut must not be so low that the result­
ant revenue will destroy the highway
system.
Apparently a $5 fee. with an increase
in the gasoline tax from 4 cents to 5
eents, will meet the demand for reduced
licenses and at the same time provide
sufficient funds for the road system to
carry on— but it will not leave much of
a surplus for major improvements or
for extension. There would be an even
greater surplus for betterments and for
matching federal aid If the reduction of
existing fees is slashed in half.
A $5 fee is estimated to yield $1,041,-
900. This would be a decrease in present
license revenues of $2.269,500. As an off­
set for this loss in revenue from fees,
there is proposed one cent gas tax, esti­
mated to produce $1.400.000. The 1-cent
gas tax would come within $869.500 of
making up the loss from the reduced
licenses. As, under existing statutes, the
state receives only three-quarters of the
license fees, the $5 fee would give the
state »940,500 of the estimated $1,041,-
900.
On the basis of the $5 fee, the esti­
mated state revenues would be:
License fees. $940.500;
motor trans­
portation fees, $300.00; gasoline tax, $7,-
100.000; traffic law fines, »18000; Inter­
