The jack rabbits in Malheur county
are said to be more of nuisance than
than the coyotes. The bounty offered
by the county has been the means of
thinning out the coyotes perceptibly,
but has been a boon to jack rabbits,
which have multiplied very rapidly as
result of killing off the coyotes, so the
county has removed the bounty on the
coyote and will devise means to assist
what few coyoles are left to kill off Jack
rabbits.-Heppner Times.
The banner joke of the season appears

course, j. j. would break his neck rath-
er than displease the fair sex, so in he
went-and fell 'ker-smash" into an old
we'll containing about IL feet of soft
mud. After the ladies pried him, out
and informed him that they we're only
fooling him, he blowed the mud out of
his mouth and remarked: ''You think
you're gol-darn smartp'-Granite Gem.

The Lewiston Tribune reports that
the shipment of fresh fruit from the
Snake river country is about over for
the season. The crop was very light,
and much smaller than was expected
early in the season. One peach grower
who had ordered 1000 boxes had use
for only Is. White Bros, who handled
80 carloads of fruit last year, will not
ship to exceed IL carloads this year,
The principal reason for the light crop
was the severe wind storm OF few
weeks ago, which blew large rart of
the fruit from the trees and bruised a
great deal of what remained on. The
apple crop in the vicinity OF Moscow
and Pennington gives promise of being
as large as last year, and of better
quality.
