Wolves freed a Hunter.

Edouard Leduc, shantyman, who
has just returned from Des Joachins
had narrow escape from falling the
victim of pack of wolves, says the
Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto
Globe.
The shanty to which Leduc was at
tached is located ten miles north of
Des Joachims, and he went out one
day recently to shoot partridge.
About shutdown he started back for
camp again, when he heard patter
and saw the forms Of four-footed
beats all around him.
Leduc's gun was light weapon of
one barrel and he took small tree
in preference to risking the continu-
ance of his journey. There he re-
NAMED all night, and for hours, he
says, he could see the gray shadows
stealthily moving about, their green
eyes flashing. Once or twice he fred
at some of the pack which ventured
nearer than the others. Just before
the day broke the animals disappear
ed and he, hungry and stiff, climbed
down from his perch.

getting dinner.
The head Of the family, who had
been absorbed in resting" on a log
in front of his dwelling, replied that
he guessed mad hev suthin onto the

Thus encouraged, the traveller dis

Mr.. George met an old friend of hi,
whom ne had not seen for years, no,
since they were boys together. He
invited the gentleman to call the

Little three'year-old Robert took in
the conversation, but said nothing.

to meet his father, exclaiming when
he reached him: Papa, is that the

Oregon Trees In Austria.

made shipment of ESQ pounds of the
seeds of fir and spruce trees to re.

wanted, but these were all that were
gathered. About 600 sacks of cones
were picked from young trees, from
which the seeds were carefully taken.
Between 200 and 300 pounds of seeds
were sifted from the whole bulk that
did not promise, only the very best
being sent across the sea.
Oregon fir and spruce are growing
on thousands of acres of territory In

CHOICE ROSES BAIT ron RATS.

Fragrance Of the Flower Lures Ami.
mails to Their Doom.
The use of choice roses as rat bait
is to be experimental upon by the
biological bureau of the department
OF agriculture. The bureau has been
informed Of number OF cases where
rodents that spurned tempting cheese
and crackers, were easily enticed by
rose, and it is believed that the re-
suit OF the experiments proposed by
the bureau will be to show conclusive
ly that these flowers surpass cheese,
crackers, rinds of bacon and other
bats that are commonly used to en-
tlce the rats into traps.
The use of choice flowers as bait
for rats will, no doubt, be looked
upon as unworthy and degrading by
the horticulturists and others inter
ested in plant industry, but when the
great value and importance of roses
used in this manner is demonstrated
1t Is believed they will take another
view of the case.
1t Is explained that it is not so
much the taste Of roses that attracts
the rat as it is their fragrance, and
for this reason roses are expected to
be the popular bait for the future.
Cases have been known where TO-
dents, attracted by the sweet perfume
OF a rose in house, have gnawed
through doors to get at the flower.
Rats have been known to become sus-
picious of traps with the familiar bait
OF cheese and bacon rinds and easily
evade trap for long time. From
experience it has been found that
white roses, such as the dainty bride
rose or the snowy Nephitos, have
proved preferable in rat-catching.

Evil Of Too Many Churches.

Towns which might be well admins

the six or more congregations can

them can pay all the cost of any
preacher, however poor. Nor can anv
one OF them pay for all the time of
their spiritual leader. So only very
young men are to be had and the de.
mands upon their time cover so wide
territory that preaching must be al.

regarded. One of the clergymen OBJ.

WILL MAKE TOUR
And Play Many Games-OAC
Basket Ball Team.

About forty men turn out
nightly for basket ball practice al
OAC now, and there is promise
of a very lively season for the To-
cal team. At a meeting held a
few DAYS ago Claude Swami, the
champion basket ball man of the
state, if notof the entire northwest
was elected captain. With the
old champions of last year all in
line except Grover Cate, whose
place is ably filled by Benson and
"Shorty" Foster, Captain Swami
will undoubtedly turn out a swift
and snappy team that will win
laurels for the orange.
There is much promising ma
terial among the new men.
Among, those who are show
ing promise are Jefreys, late of
Nome, Alaska, High School
team; Hamilton, of Burns; Watts
of Corvallis, and many others
whose names were not learned.
The local aggregation expects
to play a long schedule OF games
this season. Events are already
booked with the Chicago Cres-
cent Five and the Salt.Lake V
M. C. A., besides which games
are practically settled with Eu-
gene, Dallas, Monmouth and
Philomath, and contests with Sa-
lem and the Portland Y. M. c.
A. are almost certainty.
Besides playing the state sched-
ule, the, boys expect to utilize
their vacation by making a tour
of Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Utah and California, which tour
will include about 90 games.
About eight players, a manager
and Professor Trine will make
the trip, which will undoubtedly
result in the taking of many a
scalp lock by the OAC team, as
last year they won over all COM
ers.
The second team is also doing
good work this year and expects
to play more games this than
it had last season.
