The elk and deer season has been
open since the Ist, and Southern
Oregon hunters who have been out
report good luck. In other parts of
the state little has been heard of the
doings of the hunters. 1t is pretty
generally expected that before the
season ends the slaughter of elk
will be about as great as usual, and
that one result of the indiscriminate
killing will be petition to the next
legislature for the enactment af bet
ter game laws and provision for
their enforcement. 1t is under
stood that Game Warden Mcclure
is now drafting a bill which will
cover the whole question. Owing
to the wholesale slaughter of elk
during recent years, it is said that
Mr. Mcclure will favor either a
law limiting the killing by each
person to one or two animals, or
one altogether prohibiting the kill
ing of elk for term of five years,
so the stock may increase. Mr..
Mcclure says that at the present
rate Of slaughter there will be no
elk left in the state ii few years.

Gen. S. B. M. Young, who COM
manded the Second brigade in
General Wheeler's cavalry division,
in the fighting before Santiago, had
a chance to study the Cuban in
surgents at close range, and his
opinion of them, expressed in the
following vigorous language, is
worthy of consideration: "The
insurgents, says General Young,
"are a lot of degenerates, absolutely
devoid of honor or gratitude. They
have no regard for the truth, and
when they make promises they
never keep them unless it is to
their own advantage to do so. The
Cubans are no more capable of
selt-government than the savages
of Africa. The average Cuban is of
a very low order of mankind. He
is mixture of Spanish, Indian,
Italian and negro, and he inherits
the bad qualities of all. They
would loot everything in sight and
then start in and rob one another.
Most of the leaders of the so-called
Cuban army are a lot of adven-
trrers, ready to sacrifice everybody
and everything to further their own
personal ends. It's my opinion
that few of them would hesitate to
sell out to the Spaniards if fully
convinced that the United States is
not going to deliver the island over
to them. The only thing which
might prevent them from doing so
is that the Spaniards know them
too well to trust them. I have a
great deal more confidence in the
Spaniards than 1 have in the Cu-
bans"

BOYS COMPOSITION ON HENS.

A boys composition op hens
reads as follows: Hens is curious
animals. They don't have no nose,
nor no teeth, nor no ears. They
swaller their vittles whole, and chew
it up in their crop inside of 'em.
The outside of hens is usually put
into pillars and feather busters.
The inside of hen is sometimes
filled up with marbles and shirt but
tons and SIGH. The hen is much
smaller than some other animals,
but they'll dig up more tomato
plants than anything that amt
hen. Hens is very useful to lay
eggs for plum puddings. Bet yer
life 1 like plum pudding. Skinney
Bates eat so much plum pudding
once that it put him in the collery.
Hens has got wings and can fly
when they are scarf. 1 cut my
Uncle Williams hens neck off with
the hatchet and it scarf her to
death. Hens sometimes make very
fine spring chickens.
