the importation of fresh meats shall
only be allowed in whole, or, in
certain cases, in half carcasses,
and that importation Of pre-
pared meat shall only be permitted
when it is proved to be innocuous,

Demanding Settlement.

of foreign affairs, new note, couched

Dies MONIES, May 24.-Small pox has
developed a second time in the railroad
camps along the line of the double
tracking between CrestOn and Murray.
On the 21st tramp applied for work
at one of the camps just west of Alton.
He was given employment, cleaned up
and after eating hearty supper went
to bed. In the night he became very
sick. Fearing that he had small pox
or some other disease he was fred out
of the camp. He walked to Alton and
made his bed in a box car with three
other tramps. The next day he was
examined by Alton physicians, who
pronounced his case small pox of the
most violent form. The fellow was
broken out badly and is now in dan
gerous condition. Creston is greatly
alarmed. 1t was learned that the
tramp was in the yards there long
time prior to his visit to the camp and
large number were exposed. A pest
house was Immediately established at
Alton and the tramp taken there.
Every member of the railway camp
was exposed and it is feared progress
in the work will be greatly impeded
This is the second time small poX has
broken out in these camps.

Congress is often criticised on ac-
count of the speed with which the pas
sage of pension bills is rushed. Eighty
four bills in forty-five minutes is
recent record of the senate. But 1t
should be remembered that every one
OF the bills had been carefully exam
ined by committee, and was accom-
ranied by printed report setting
forth the facts thus ascertained. II
Congress were to devote TO every PEN
sion bill the time necessary to discuss
a tariff bill. It would have time left
for nothing else.

the discussion of the pastorate time
limit. Finally the majority report
and all substitutes were defeated.

for, resulting ayes ABB, nays 23s.
This disposes of one of the most
important questions before the Metho-

pointed annually by the bishop, with
no limit on the number of years a pas

Scalp Bounty.

A person would not imagine
that i'll the course of a year the
number of scalps taken from
coyotes and wildcats in the state
of Oregon would reach nearly
46, 900. When one stops to
think of it and realizes that Ore
gon is the birthplace of such a
number of varlnints, he is pretty
likely to think that civilization
has hardly got a foot-hold yet.
Secretary of State +. 1, Dunbar
has completed compiling the
statement showing the number
of scalps delivered to the respec-
tive county courts since May 6,
1899, when the scalp bounty
law went into effect, each one Of
which scalps (of coyotes, wild
cats, etc. costs the state 81,
when the proper certificate is
filed in the state department.
The statement shows that As, $50
scalps have been delivered and
paid for by the state, from Nav
6, 1899, to September 80, 1900,
costing the state $9I,o52. To
pay this the special sheep tax
was levied by the legislature,
but thus far less than 81 900 has
been paid iuto the fund from the
several counties, and the states
paper is out for the amount
represented by $4,000 scalps,
being practically the only debt
of the state of Oregon. Douglas
county has sent 500 scalps, IS of
them during the last quarter.
