AFRICAN GAME FOR SOUTHWEST.
Plan to Bring to America Thirty Species
OF Rare Beasts.
From the Los Angeles Times,

With the personal Endorsement OF the
President Of the United States and the hearty
approval OF the Los Angeles Chamber Of Com
merce. ono Of tho most interesting moves
ever made by public spirited men in the South
west Ia soon to be started,
II is for the TRANSFORMING OF thirty species
OF African game animals TO our preserves.
Congress- will be asked to set apart portions
of the forest reserves as a perpetual United
States sanctuary, and when this Ia done the
importation will Immediately commence.
Money Ia not wanting for the complete
c~onsummation OF the scheme, At present
$50, 900 awaits the word of the projectors,
and all or any part Of It may be used in bring
ing the game TO this country and establishing
1t upon q healthy footing.
Not more than n third OF the proposed
thirty species will be introduced at the start,
other rarer varieties being brought in later.
as fast az conditions warrant.
For the high mountains Is proposed the
tropical channels. n beautiful creature. some
what different from the Swiss chamois but
, better adapted to this climate.
Their will come the bush-bok. an African
animal the size OF the black tailed deer. The
flesh Of this creature Is good to eat, and it's
hide makes leather Of extraordinary tough
ness, worth probably five times as much
as ordinary leather. The Beers use II for
the extreme end1. or "crackers," of their
great fifty foot whips.
For the open plains country the spring
box will be bought. There will be different
varieties for different %altitudes. and as the
species Ia very hardy. It Is expected that there
will be no trouble in preserving the species.
This IL the species for which Congress has
appropriated the money to the Wichita re-
serve and the first experiment will be tried
there. The local promoters, however. viii
procure their animals direct from South
Africa, working in conjunction with Gardner
The m ountain reedbok will be imported
for the foothills. 1t will stand a considerable
amount OF heat and is about the size OF a
deer.
Another foothill creature will be the greater
koodoo, a magnificent animal the size OF
the elk, Weighing 400 to 500 pounds. with
great spiral horns, Yet another is the great
sable antelope, the size OF the koodoo, black
In color. with dainty white markings.
On the desert will, go the gemsbok and
also the grantai. The latter is an animal
weighing about $50 pounds and is capable
Of going great distances from water,
In addition, several varieties OF the small
gazelle will be brought over.

Roy RESCUED DOG FROM WOLF.
Desperate Fight on Kansas Prairie in Which
Dog IL Beaten.
From the lola Register.

To have his dog attacked In broad day
light In an open field by a wolf and to witness
one Of the hardest fights he ever saw was
the experience of the nineteen-year-old son
of William Bennett. who lives east Of Els
more, yesterday afternoon. TheFdog was
nearly killed and the wolf was driven away
only after repeated assaults with q club In the
hands of the sturdy farmer boy.
The story was told to Sheriff Richardson
while no was In Elsmore by Mr.. Bennett
The boy was ploughing yesterday and the
dog. which ia a shepherd of fair size, was
playing about the field. Suddenly the boys
attention was attracted from behind by the
barking of the dog. and he turned to
see the animal fighting full tilt with a large
gray wolf. The fight was fast and furious
and the animals went round and round,
finally working their way clear up under
the plough handles. The wolf was so In.
terested In its combat with the dog that IL
evidently did not take account Of the fact
that the dog had a faithful ally In the person
OF its master.
The Bennett boy saw that the wolf was
getting the better Of the bargain. and seizing
a club hammered the animal with all his
strength. The wolf hung on with great
t~enacity. however. and II was only after o
severe beating that II let 20. After the ex-
perience which the animal had when 1t cam
In contact with the club II was considerably
oowed. and made of to the woods as fast as
its legs would carry II. 1t made no attempt
whatever to attack the Bennett boy. The
dog was thoroughly exhausted and covered
with blood. but 1t was not cowed. and a little
later in the afternoon raised a great rumpus
around a pile OF rocks In the field near where
the fight had taken place.
The Bennett boy made an Investigation
and discovered a wolf's lair in the rock pile.
From the pile Of rocks he took eleven young
wolves. The game fight which the wolf put
up was then explained. The dog had dis
covered the VOLTS den, routed out the wolf,
and the animal, for the purpose Of protecting
fight which wild animals know how 70 make

lie Appeal Docket.
Salem-The TACT that the Oregon So.
piems court is about year behind in
its work and has been losing ground In
the last few months has revived the
suggestion that the number Of judges
be increased from three TO 6ve. There
are now on the docket ready fer trial
81 cases appealed from Western Oregon
counties. There are also some on the
Eastern Oregon docket at Pendleton.
but the exact number is not known.
The cases now ready for trial extend
back as far a. December, 1905. There
are also on the preliminary docket 81
cases which will be ready for trial In
the next few months, so that there IL
every prospect chat the supply Of cases
10 be heard will not diminish.
The causes OF the court getting be-
hind In its work are several. The
number OF appealed cases has been un.
usually large and several cases OF extra
ordinary magnitude have occupied an
unusual amount Of attention. Then
there has been change on the bench,
which always causes some delay. Judge
HALEY was appointed to the supreme
bench last winter. He had extensive
business interests at his home in PEN
dleton and could not at once adjust his
private business so as to give his whole
time to his judicial duties. Then the
political campaign came on and took
considerable time for two months.
Another change will be made the first
Of the year, when Judge Eakin goes on
the bench.

REPORT ON OREGON.
irrigation Expert Investigates State
and Issues Circular.

and Issues Circular.
washinsson-Oregon farmers who re-
sort to irrigation, viii be deeply inter
ested In S0-page circular Just issued
by the department Of Agriculture, en-
titled Investigations Of Irrigation
Prsctice in Oregon" The book ID
written by A. P. Slower, irrigation en-
gineer, who spent last season In Oregon
making q study Of irrigation ss II is
prscticed, 90 ss 10 and out the errors
that have been made and gather data
which would be helpful in instructing
the irrigators how to avoid mistakes Of
the past. The report is not as compre-
hensive as might be desired, but con-
tains great many valuable sugges-
tions, and is worth the persual Of every
farmer who is obliged to artifcially
water his lands.
Mr.. Slower made study Of the pre-
cipation in various parts Of the state,
and to limited extent gathered data
on the discharge Of the principal
streams that can be utilized for irriga-
tion. He states, in opening his report,
that the greater part Of the arabic land
of Oregon lies in the arid section and
can be brought under intensive culti-
walton only by irrigation. He found
that the low water flow of most OF the
streams Of Eastern Oregon has already
been appropriated for private irriga.
tion, but as yet practically no steps
have been taken to conserve the winter
foods.
He finds that little Of the water now
being diverted is used economically. 90
that there is large supply for future
development.
Because Of its comparatively low ele-
walton and consequent mild climate,
Mr.. Slower says that Northeastern Ore
gon has advantages over the southeast.
The practice Of winter irrigation,
now practiced along the Umstilla river,
is described, and the value Of this prac-
tiee is indicated. 1t Is shown that
these Umatilla lands, under the Max
well ncod water canals, yields net
profit Of s24 an acre, when planted in
alfalfa. 1t seems that the Umatilla
valley, however, is exceptionally well
adapted for this sort Of irrigation, be-
cause Of the unusual formation Of the
coil and the underlying bedrock. Few
localities will be found where winter
irrigation will be as successful. On
Butter creek, where winter irrigation
has reached the highest stage Of perfec-
tion, fruits are successfully grown by
combining the principles OF winter irri-
CATION and dry farming.
Several pages are devoted to q detail
description of irrigation canals along
the Deschutes river, which have been
in operation for the past few years, and
also OF the Maxwell and Irrigon canals
in the Umatilla country. For some
reason there is nothing in the report
bearing directly on private irrigation
in the Klamath country. The report,
however, contains something OF interest
to all irrigators, and will be furnished
by the department upon application.
