A bounty OF from 81 to $3.50 pei
coyote will be asked of the legisla'
ture of this state when 1t convene'
this winter and the request will be
backed up by not only the sheepmer
OF eastern Oregon, but by those oi
the Willamette valley as well, foI
the hill pest is already creating great
havoc among the flocks of the west
ern part OF the state.
II is estimated that the coyotes
during the past year have done over
$1,000, 900 damage TO the flocks OF
the state, and the sheepmen believe
that the only way to exterminate the
pest Is TO provide a bounty to make
their killing worth while.
In order TO get the matter before
the legislature the Oregon sheep com
mission in its annual report will en-
brace a recommendation of bounty
of $3.50 to be paid for each animal
killed. II viii point to the success
with which that plan combatted the
OF the state will also urge through
their organization that such a boun-
ty be given.
Shccpmcn TO Pay Half.
One-half OF the sum paid, accord
ing to the plan now under advise
ment, win be paid by the sheepmen
through a special tax levied upon
them for that purpose. This is in
line with the old law.
Up until about six years ago Ore
gon paid a bounty Of 81 per coyote
Under that system according TO Sec
retary Dan p. Smythe OF the Oregon
sheep commission. the coyotes were
practically exterminated, and Just at
the time the county had ceased to be
an expense of any Importance the
law was repealed. As the result the
animals have increased until they are
a plague greater than ever before in
the state.
For the first time in many years
the valley woolgrowers are with the
men OF eastern oregon in this mat
Ter. IN DOuBldS county luI luStdHNt
the damage to the flocks during the
past year has been very great even
though the county has bounty of
s25 per animal and the growers have
their places fenced against coyotes
but the willy animals come over the
hills from eastern oregon and by
digging under the "coyote proof
fences, have managed to do great
damage.
The need of the coyote bounty law
will be discussed i'm this city Satur
day at the meeting of the county wool /.
growers association, and viii also
come up next week at the Heppner
meeting 1t is also probable that at d
the latter place the sheepmen will
adopt the plan of organized fight
against the beasts during the month .
of January. as during the past year,
when some 10000 coyotes are esti-
mated to have been killed in the one
month.
