KILLED
LARGE
COUGAR
Lane County Men Have Thrill
ing Experience With
Vicious Animal

On last Thursday night, Mrs.
Will Jones, who resijeN on a home
stead near George Downs home, on
upper Mosby creek, was startled by a
commotion in the calf pen near the
house, in which young calf was
kept. Mr.. Jones being absent from
home, Mrs. Jones took a lantern and
proceeded to investigate the cause Of
the disturbance. On nearing the calf
pen. she heard the cracking of the un-
derbrush nearby as If some large an
imal was beating ahasty retreat. The
calf was found lying dead with a
crushed and bleeding skull, indicat-
ing that 1t had been attacked and
killed by bear or cougar. Having
no dog or gun the lady returned to
the house and resolved to notify the
neighbors of the occurrence the next
morning. On the dawn of the follow
ing day it was discovered that the
varmint had returned and dragged
the calf far up on the mountain side
and not until Friday evening was Mr.
Jones, who returned home that day,
successful in getting on the trail of
the cougar He was in company with
Andrew Downs, and having only two
small dogs, the big cat came to bay
several times and made vicious at
tacks upon the dogs, both of which
were badly wounded. Darkness final
ly ensueds but the two hunters kept
up the pursuit of the big game by
lantern light and several times came
near getting into handrto-hand
struggle with the cougar in the noun
tain jungles. The little dogs finally
harrassed the big cat to such an ex-
tent that it went up large tree and
could only be located by the glare
of its eyes as II watched the move
ments of the lantern in the hands of
it5 pursuers. Finally the lantern was
placed on the head Of young Downs,
who thus attracted the attention of
the cougar, aimed his rifle at the two
shining eyes, but his aim proved
little low, the BAH striking the cou-
gar in the throat. coming out at the
point of the shoulders. The beast,
with a cry of pain, came crashing
through the boughs to the ground and
lied almost without struggle. There
are few hunters who care to pursue
4 mountain lion or cougar through an
Oregon forest at night. Mr.. Jones is
a young school teacher who came here
from the East some months ago and
this hunting experience was naturally
a thrilling and novel one for him.

Washington, June 11.--Joseph H

employees Of the department and
opens wide field Of temptation and
opportunity for collusion with unscru'
pulous patentees for mutual profit. In
practical operation it is found that
this condition has opened the door for
alarming instances Of bribery and cor
ruption.
One remedy which has been sought
by the department and authorized by
congress to take effect July l, 1904. is
the employment of a high salaried
purchasing agent for the entire SER
vice, who shall give heavy bonds and
be responsible directly to the Post
master General. Another remedy
which occurs to the Sentry, and which
would apply equally to all other de-
partments of the government, to the
great relief of each and with doubt
less an enormous aggregate saving
in money each year. is this
Amend the patent laws so as to pro-
vide, when any branch of the govern
ment departments desires to use a
patented article in the public service,
some just method of deciding on the
value thereof, based on the cost of
manufacture, a reasonable profit or
fair royalty; then fix that as the
price to be paid therefor. The manu-
facturers would doubtless in all cases
be willing to accept the price thus
established. They would have no mo-
tive for offering bribes to any Official
for approving or buying and the sew
eral departments would secure the de-
sired improvements at a minimum
cost.
The whole value of an invention
to an inventor consists in the mon
opoly given him by the government
its patent laws. 1t is surely
permissible, the Sentry believes,
that the nation should protect itself
against extortion under cover of its
own benefactions, If the manufactur-
err should refuse to accept the price
thus established, provision could then
be made for invalidating the patent
as to articles required for the govern
ment use and they could be contracted
for in the open market without re-
gard to the patent.
There would seem to be in this
an inviting field for inves-
tigation and action by some practical
anxious to do something
'or the public good. Some preten-
.ious statesman Of past eras are now
only as industrious con-
40 committee'room pigeon
holes. This field of practical utility
S respectfully commended by the Sen
ry to such public servants as desire
o avoid that kind Of distinction.

gested,
The national government is re-
quired by the necessities of good ser.
vice to keep abreast Of the times in
recognizing and adopting valuable
new mechanical devices. In war and
in peace, in public as we'll as in pri.
vate life competition obliges the use
of the best facilities.
This is especially true in the postal
service, purely business institution,
availing itself of innumerable me-
chanical contrlvances to expedite its
work. The head of this department
must not be Of the class who would
slaughter novel suggestion WITH the
bludgeon OF conservatism or dismiss
an Independent thought as pernicious
activity If the postal service is to
comply with the public demand for
celerity and efficiency, it must use
the latest inventions and improve
ments applicable to its varied activ-
tiles. It can only do this by promptly
utilizing patented articles and, there
fore, under present conditions, finds
itself, to certain extent, at the
mercy of patentees and manufacture
ers.
/ 1t is, the Sentry believes, a signih-
cant fact that in nearly every case
the alleged criminal practices in the
post Office department, for which
many Indictments nave been found
and some convictions had, occur in
the purchase of articles covered by
patents, to which the general princi-
plq of purchasing government sup
plies on competitive bids, cannot be
applied, since there can be no com
petition. The corruption largely con
sisted in paying exorbitant prices to
the manufacturers OF these necessary
patented devices through collusion
with subordinate officials Of the de-
part who, it is alleged, were Induced
to pay these extravagant prices by
heavy bribes.
The law requires ordinary supplies
and commodities used by the depart
ments TO be purchased on contracts
with the lowest bidder after competi-
tion open to all who make or sell these
articles. But as only one concern can
make or sell patented device, the
Comptroller Of the treasury was
forced to decide as early as 1896 that
the revised statutes do not require
the advertising for proposals Of the
making of contracts for the purchase
OF patented or copyrighted articles
where the benefit of competition can
not be secured Among the oertifi-
Gates for expenditures Of money speci-
iically referred to in the decision and
especially covered thereby, aer postal
straps for the use OF letter carriers;
time clocks; attachments for street
letter boxes, ami time cards for street
letter boxes. Strangely enough each
one OF these enumerated devices was
the subject OF separate and special
scandal developed in the postal inyes-
tigation of 1903.
All such purchases are Of an emer
gency character, There can be no
bids on contracts. and the post Office
authorities are the sole judges OF
prices to be paid and quantities OBJ
tanned, This fact throws an enormous
responsibility on several subordinate
