Jack Summers, of Prineville, re.
lates to the Madras Pioneer q story OF
cougar hunt in which he pal ticipat.
cd at MauIy, south of Prineville, d
few weeks ago. His party was in
formed that cougar was eating on
the carcass of a COW, so they armed
themselves and cautiously approached
the place. When they reached point
where they could see their quarry
they were afforded rare and enter
tanning sight. A large cougar was eat.
ing on the carcass and ranged around,
sitting on their launches, were six
coyotes. The coyotes would occasion.
ally send up "a lonely, hungry howl Of
disappointment, but the cougar kept
they away with jealous care. The
coyotes had the distance nicely meas
uIed between themselves aud the
cougar, and when the big cat would
whirl around as if to charge them
they would back accol dingly, hut
would resume their old position and
howl again as soon as the cougar
turned his attention to eating. After
watching this strange drama FIR a
time the hunters opened fire and
broke up the show. They hagged the
cougar and two of the coyotes.

Notice 10 School
Patrons and Merchants.

Every few days complaints are
made by the teachers that some
of the younger boys are out OF
school distributing bills for mer-
chants or coming attractions at
the opera house, thus making
their attendance very irregular
and taking valuable time from
their studies. Both parents and
teachers have asked the ques-
ton, what is the law cover
ing this point!" Being unable to
give personal answer to all
school patrons, / take this liberty
to quote, through the Baxter pa
pers. the law as it is found in
CHI. 81, sec. , of laws of 1907.
1T shall be unlawful for any
merchant, company, or other par
ty. without the written permit OF
the board of directors of any
country, or of the board OF edu-
cation of any city of the first or
second class, to employ any child
therein. between the ages of eight
and fifteen, during the sessions
of the school term or year, unless
such child is exempt from at
tendance under provisions of sec.
/. *'* Any parent, guardian or
other person having CONTROL or
charge of such child delin-
quent in school attendance, and
any merchant, company or other
party unlawfully employing such
child. upon conviction of viola
ton of any provision of this act,
or act of which this is amenda-
tory, shall be judged guilty OF a
misdemeanor, and shall be fined
a sum not less than nve dollars
nor more than twenty-five dollars
for each offense, and be commit
ted to the county Jail till same is
paid"
This citation is no threat, but
simply as suggestion to parents
merchants. ETC., that the law
considers school to be the busi-
ness of children during the school
term. Regular attendance is nee
essary for the best results. We
ask your cooperation in the mat
ter. S. B. APPLE, JR.,

CANNOT ESCAPE.
Kansas Mortgages Must
Submit to Taxation, Even
Though Property Covered
Is. Outside of State.

Under decision of the Kansas
supreme court rendered this
morning, a taxpayer OF Kansas
can not escape taxation on notes
and mortgages by the fact that
they are secured by property out
side the state, by the fact that
the notes and mortgages are left
on deposit outside of the state.
This important matter was de-
cided in the suit brought by the
county commissioners of Johnson
county against c. B. Hewitt.
Hewitt lived in Johnson county
and in 1908 made a loan of 50, 600
to people in Kansas City, Mo.
The notes were secured by a trust
deed to some real estate in Kan
sas City. The notes were never
brought into Kansas, but were
placed in a safe deposit vault in
the First National bank of Kan
sas City. The notes were assess
ed by the township assessors
in Johnson county, but Hewitt
refused to pay the taxes. The
case was taken from the board OF
equalization to the district court
where it was decided that Hewitt
should not pay taxes on the notes.
The appeal to the supreme court
resulted in a reversal of this de-
cision. The opinion was written
by Justice Burch who says:
TT is no longer debatable that
the question whether a resident
owner of debts evidenced by notes
and mortgages has property IN
this state is not to be determined
by the locality in which the debt
was created. nor by the place
where the security lies nor by
the residence of the debtors. And
/ it is impossible to believe that
the legislature intended to regard
notes given by nonresidents and
secured by mortgages on proper
/ ty in another state as outside Its
jurisdiction merely because the
resident owner, returning home
after the conclusion of the busi-
ness transaction producing them,
left them just beyond the state
line"

law of 1907 simply provides ma
chinery for the enforcement OF
the laws which have been on the
statute books for years. Taking
up the discussion of the above
question, the commission says:
There are several propositions
contained in this question, and
the commission answers them as
follows:
Il. The law provides for the
taxation of real estate at its &C
tual value in money, without any
deduction of mortgage indebted
ness.
-. Moneys in hand or on de-
post are to be taxed on the full
amount. No reductions whatever
are allowed.
g. Notes secured by NOR
tgage are to be taxed at their
actual value in money. No re-
auctions are allowed.
-. Notes unsecured BY lien
on real estate. are credits, and
they, with other credits, may be
offset by debts, which may in
clude mortgage Indebtedness.

Tax Board Passes on the
Question.

This question has been put to
the State Tax Commission, and
the commission yesterday made
public its reply:
"Supposing a man has cash
and notes to the amount OF SIS
600, and also has ranch which
is mortgaged for $4,000, would
he be compelled to list and pay
taxes on the SIS, 900, and also pay
full taxes on the mortgaged prop
erty?
The reply of the commission
will be of interest generally, for
many inquiries have been made
along this line. The commission
stated that there has been no
change in the law as regards as
sessment and taxation. The new
