STOCKMEN
ARE after
THIS PEST
Oregon Ranchmen Have Lost
More Than S1,OOO,OOO From
Coyote Ravages

Portland Ore, Jan. 22.-Stockmen
in Oregon, who claim they are losing
more than $1,OO0,OO0 year from the
devastation of the animals, are plan
ming to kill 10000 coyotes this year.
Fully 10000 were killed last year
and the warfare is to be repeated in
the hope of exterminating the pests.
The Oregon VOL Growers Associa-
ton, including the sheepmen and 9TH
ers interested in the live stock in
dustry have banded together in this
campaign and will use traps, poison
and other methods.
A combined effort is to be made at
the coming season of the Legislature
to secure the passage of law allow
ing bounty of $3.50 for coyote scalps
and there is fair chance for its pas
sage. The National Wool Growers
Association is endeavoring to secure
a uniform law in all wool-producine
states fixing the bounty at $3.50 each
to prevent fraud in the collection Of
scalp bounties. Idaho, Washington
and Montana have liberal bounty laws
which have kept the ravages of coy
otes at a minimum loss.

FORMER SALOON
TOWNS ARE after
BETTER REVENUES

Jackson, Miss, Jan. 22.-How to
raise sufficient revenues to meet the
deficits arising from the cutting off
of liquor licenses is the problem that
is now confronting several municipal
tiles in Mississippi, notable in this
regard being Vicksburg, Natchez,
Greenville, Biloxi and Gulfport
In former years these towns have
set aside good portion of the rev.
enues derived from saloons to the
support of public schools, and the
financial problems with which they
are confronted are by no means easy
OF solution, despite the fact that the
statewide prohibition law was pass
ed tenRmonths ago, and municipal au-
thorities had abundant advance knowl-
edge of the impending problems.
1t is expected that these towns will
simply increase their tax levies for the
current year, based on the assessment
to be commenced in February, and 1t
is more than likely that assessors will
be instructed to boost property values
somewhat in order that more revenue
may be brought into sight. The towns
named are all growing communities,
and their authorities can hardly af-
ford to cut down other municipal ex-
penditures in order to sustain the

the footsteps of the capital city to
some extent in the conduct of its

City Clerk N. D. Goodwin, of that

the project.
The movement looking toward the
building of this road was started by
Mr.. Bryant in 1925. He finally de-
cided to build road from his stone
quarry to the Neponset river, a dis.
lance OF four miles. Work was begun
on April 1, 1925, and finished on DC.
tober of the same year, and on that
day train was run over the road.
The deepest cutting was IL feet and
the highest elevation above the sur.
face OF the ground was IL feet. The
several grades were as follows: The
first, commencing at the wharf or land.
Ing, was rs feet to the mile, the SEQ.
ond Ii feet and the third &c feet This

lands that ran around the main quar-.
ry. Here an elevation of "a feet had
to be overcome. This was done by en-
inclined plane S15 feet long at an
angle of about Is degrees. It had an
endless chain, to which the cars were
attached ascending and descending.
The road was constructed in the
Following manner: Stone sleepers
were laid across the track eight feet
apart. Upon these wooden rails sig
inches thick and IL inches high were
placed. Upon the top of these rails
iron plates three inches wide and one.
fourth Of an inch thick were fastened
with spikes, but at all the crossings
OF public roads and driftways stone
rails were used instead of wood.
On top Of these were placed iron
plates four inches wide and one-half
an inch thick, firmly bolted to the
stone. The inclined plane was built
in the same permanent manner and
had double track.
The first cost of the road was $50.
900 and that of the first car $500. The
car had high wheels 61a feet in diam.
eter, the load being suspended on
platform by chains under the axles.
This platform was let down at any
convenient place and loaded. The car
was then run over the load and the
chains attached to 1t by being in,
serted in the eye bolts In the plat.
form and raised little above the
track by machinery on the top of the
car. The loads averaged about six
tons each.
The next car was made with low
wheels, with a strong, massive frame.
The gauge of the road being five feet,
the axles were placed that distance
apart.
When stones of eight and ten tons
were to be transported two of these
trucks were attached together by a
platform and king bolts, making an
eight-wheeled car. When larger stones
were to be taken the number of trucks
was increased, which made a 16-wheeI
car. This was used to transport the
columns for the courthouse in Bos.
ton, each one weighing Ga tons in the
rough. In the course of few years
the wooden rails began to decay and
1t was necessary to replace them. This
was dons by substituting stone in
place Of the wooden rails, using
the stone transverse sleepers that had
originally been laid.
The same mode Of securing the iron
plates to the stone was adopted.

Our Life Like q Rosebush.

Our Life Like Hosepusn.
Our life is like rosebush, the stem
our way through life,
The branches are the byways, that
lead to woe or strife,
The roses are the joys we meet, the
sorrow are the thorns,
The fragrance of the rose the thoughts
that life adorn,
The leaves are the friends who turn
us, when fortunes sun doth shine.
When clouds of sorrow lower, away
from US incline.
When at the end we turn and look, we
find the bush all bare
The joys and friends have left us,
while thorns linger there.
The bush is all bare and withered I'M
til springtime comes once more
When beautious roses bloom again as
fragrant as before,
The gem of vital life but slept, as ours
will sleep some day.
To wake in eternal fields where roses
bloom always.

Tennis at Night
BY Electric Light

Tennis by electric light is not by
any means an innovation in other
parts of the world. but the Manoa
Club will be introducing novelty
to these islands II they start the
night tennis.
Provided the lights are bright
enough and really high tossing Is
not INDUCED in, a fairly good game
can be had. The only drawback is
the shadow which is cast by the
ball; many times the players will
be fooled by the coming events.
Still If the lights are properly
fixed the shadow trouble may be
obviated to great extent and
some fun had. Years ago the writ
er played tennis in large skating
rink by electric lights. The courts
were marked out on the wooden
floor of the Sydney exhibition build
Ing, and the are lights hung above.
The courts were situated where
the roof was highest, and there was
ample space above the highest lob
that could be played. The lights
being above, naturally the ball
threw shade was It approached,
and at times 1t was puzzling to
make swipe at what one thought
was the ball and make clean miss.
The game on the wooden floor
was a fast one and toward the close

Use RED SEAL CARBON 1T is the Bes
Another Good
Fight Soon

Now that Reilly and Cullen are
as good as matched to meet once
more. the voice OF the knocker is
sure to boom forth. and rumors OF
fake and every other kind of dope
peddled out by some men who have
only their own ends to serve.
In many cases the stories arise
through the desire Of some of the
smart Alecs' to make easy money.
They would give their best friends
the double cross and laugh about
the matter afterwards. They have
been known to go to a friend and
assure him that the horse race or
fight, or whatever 1t was, was fixed,
and that such and such horse or
man was not trying.
Then when the friend went
around placing bets on the real
fryer" the whisperer had emissar-
les who took every bet on his behalf.
Then the. race or fight came off, ana
the alleged dead one. instead OF
lying down. showed all kinds OF life
and won.
Then the usual story was pitched
and few phoney bets produced as
proof OF the fixer's own loss on the
event. and eventually the fall guy
takes his medicine and the rest OF
the bunch give him the ha ha sign
behind his back. Oh. yes, it's a
lovely game certain men are work.
Ing In this town, and more Is the
pity that they can't be induced To
leave In hurry.
However. the last fight between
Reilly and Cullen was as SQUARE n
go as has ever been pulled OF in
this town. and there Is no doubt
'hat the next one will be the same.
charlie Reilly was asked 10
throw a fight In this city a long
time ago by certain parties, and he
replied that he had fought straight
SO Tar, and would always do so
knowing Charlie to be on the
square, the writer is convinced that
there will be no crooked work in his
night with Cullen. and that the best
man will win.
Inc date Of the contest may be
printed In another column of the
Bulletin today and other de-
taiis given. Mike Patton will, no
doubt, referee the go. and that
alone srould be a guarantee OF u
good, fair fight.

Football Players
Are Hard AT Work

Out at the Makiki grounds yester-
day afternoon there was some fins
football practice. and the town team
went In for strenuos bucking the
linetime that will Ht them for their
future struggles against the Ma
rines.
There was a fine muster OF play
ers and the greatest vim was put
into the practice. II hard work and
good coaching can do anything, the
Townies should give the half-wets
much better tussle next time
they meet. Sumner has infused a
lot OF his own enthusiasm into the
team. and there is a do-or-die ex.
preston In all of the players faces
nowadays.
Bill Campbell is putting In good
ticks on the coaching line, and his
cnorts are much more appreciated
by the men. When II comes down
to signal practice the effect OF the
good work OF Sumner Is seen. Last
night at a secret rendezvous the
Town Team went through their sig.
nal practice, and II was a treat Il
watch them at work. There is nc
doubt that the team has improved o
lot, and It will surprise all the wise
guys when they see the kind OF
game the Townies put up ut theii
next attempt.
The Marines are also hard a,
work practicing. and every after,
noon they can be seen out on the
field going through stunts which
are considered just the thing to n,
them for their go with the Towr
team.
The half-wets are a husky lot Of
boys. and there Is no doubt of theil
ability to play football and keel
their end up through a strenuou,
afternoon work.
Now that the soccer people ar,
getting into line. there will b,
plenty Of football OF the two kinds
and 1t Is only to be regretted tina
the idea Of Rugby does not catci
on at present. or course men hav,
to be In much better form for Rug
by than the old game, because tn,
English game is much faster an,
the men are on the move all tn
time. When in training for Rugb,
the team has to take run of any
thing from three to five miles ever,
night besides doing their stunts a
the gym.
For Rugby the wind must be per
fect' and the three-quarter and hal
back men fleet OF foot and able t
cut out the hundred yards In clever
seconds or less.
Rugby will be the game all owe
the mainland before long, and the,
Hawaii may fall into line and TAX
