court, held last week, bounties were
paid On two wild cats, one cougar
and one bear. On the two former
the bounty is SO per scalp, and op
the latter, So SO. The bounty or

undoubtedly result in ridding the
county of the animals which are do
ing considerable mischief among
sheep and goats in some sections.

The attendance at the Corvallis
public school continues to be lit
tie below the figures of last year, q
fact which is considered due to the
fine weather which means that "fall
work. will be prolonged and that
many children will be kept out of
school for a while to assist at home.
A little later on it is almost certain
that the school will reach as high
an enrolment as it had last season.

Benton county prune growers
have suffered heavy loss this year
because of their inability to secure
help at the picking season, and on
account of the fruit ripening SO rap
idly and falling to the ground where
it burst and rotted before it could
be cared for. All driers have been
constantly filed and even then
some orchards have had to be turn
ed over to the hogs because the crop
could not be handled at the, dry
houses. 1t is estimated that half |
the crop at the big orchard of the
Benton County Prune Company is
a loss. Seven and half cents per
box and in one or two cases ten
cents per box was paid by growers,
but he,pers that would or
ainarily have been available were
in the hopyards of Polk county and
prune picking had no attraction for
them.
