WOOLMEN FIGHT
FOR BOUNTY LAW
STATE ASSOCIATION is
MAKING HARD CAMPAIGN
President Burgess and Secretary
Smythe Working I'm Interests Of
Measure in Portland this Week
Smythe VIII go to Salem to Make
Fight for Needed Legislation
Sheepmen Declare Protection is Es-
sential to Flock Industry.

Herculean efforts are now being
put forth by the wool growers of the
state and especially by the officers
of the state wool growers association
to bring the members OF the legls-
lature to see the necessity of a scalp
bounty on coyotes. President j. n.
Burgess returned from Portland this
morning where he had been laboring
with the solons who are gathered
there and Secretary Smythe who
went down with him has remained
behind and will carry the fight on up
to Salem.
The following relative to the situ-
alton is taken from the Portland
Journal and tells why the scalp boun-
ty is desired by the sheepmen and
why it is necessary for the success Of
the industry:
Oregon sheepmen are out after the
scalps of the coyotes. In order to get
them the wool producers are asking
the legislature to pay the sure shots
of eastern Oregon to bring in the top
pieces.
In furtherance of this quest Presl-
dent Burgess of the Oregon Wool
Growers association and Dan p.
Smythe, the secretary, are TOW in
Portland interviewing those mem
bers of the legislature who are in the
city in order to interest them in the
proposed scalp bounty bill to be in
troduced by the sheepmen.
Secretary Smythe is much in ear
nest over the scalp bounty law. He
says the sheepmen want the state to
pay the bounty because some Of the
sheepmen will not join in movement
to destroy the pests by cooperative
effort.
'I would be willing to pay my per
capita tax, so much for every sheep !
own" said Mr.. Smythe this morning.
MANY Of the sheepmen would do the
same thing; in fact, it was discussed.
but many of the owners will not do
so and few of us cannot bear the
expense alone. They cannot be forced
to pay any tax levied by the assocf-
alton, and so 1t is necessary for the
bounty to be given by the state"
In discussing the subject, Mr.
Smythe says that the sheepmen are
in great need Of some sort Of protec-
ton. Coyotes are increasing to such
an extent that the herders cannot
leave the flocks long enough to eat
their meals without some Of the ami
mails being slaughtered by prowling
coyotes. Where in the past the coy
ote was an animal Of the plains 1t
now has invaded the mountain re-
gions and is preyng on sheep, calves
hogs and other smaller domestic oni-
mails.
The sheepmen's association and the
cattlemen are working in conjunction
with the sportsmen and hope through
their combined efforts and influence
to secure some legislation which will
relieve the conditions against which
they are now struggling.
They will send a strong lobby to
the legislature to do what may be
done in securing the enactment Of a
scalp bounty law.

Grand Championship Carnival of
Basketball Crime.

There have been many co-called
basketball games in Pendleton in the
past and there have been a few exhi-
bitions of the real thing, but here
after basketball in this city will date
from Wednesday night
Without doubt the most spectacular
game ever witnessed in the county
seat of Umatilla county, or probably
any other county, will be pulled off
in the Commercial club gymnasium on
that date. By the side of this all other
contests will pale into insignificance
and future historians will reckon time
from the night on which the busi-
ness mems gymnasium class met the
high school faculty in mortal COM
bat,
Scientific, scintilating, spectacular!
There will be all kinds of playing by
all kinds of players for all kinds Of
spectators. Two or three Of the best
players ever seen upon a basketball
floor in this city and some who have
never been seen upon any basketball
floor will participate in the fray. Bril-
liant team work will be interspersed
with individual playing of kind nev-
er before heard of.
Under the able coaching Of Physical
Director Allen, the members Of the
business mems class have attained a
degree Of efficiency unbelievable and
they are going into the game with
the expectation of fairly wiping up
the floor with the "Facultots." The
members Of the other team say they
will do even worse things to the "Os-
