The Telephone Situation.

The telephone subject will not
down as is evidenced by its coming
up in the city council again last
evening. AS they say, the council
is up against it this time. The Citi-
zens Telephone Company asked for
a referendum two weeks ago and
last night the subject came up again.
If 1t is referred to the people it is
claimed it will cost the taxpayers
about $500 and the telephone com
pany nothing. If franchise is
granted the expense to the city will
be nothing. Now, here is the rub.
A majority of the council feel GER
tain that If it Is left to a vote of the
people 1t will carry two to one, and
we hear not few citizens general
ly make the same claim, and the
consequence is the council hardly
know just what to do about 1t. Those
opposed to granting a franchise hest

Mr.. W00DW0RTH NOW
HAS COUGAR RECORD

G. w. Woodwork, living on a
farm about three miles north OF Mer-
lin and near Three Pines. holds, we
believe the Southern Oregon record,
at least, for the killing OF cougars,
having dispatched 16 full-grown
animals since last June, 10 OF these
being females. The first day Of April
two cats were added to his list.
Mr.. Woodwork does his hunting
with two steel traps set within log
enclosure which Is constructed in
the form OF V, but with the apex
open sufficiently to admit the free
passage OF any animal The bait Is
staked near the point and two traps
set within the enclosure. There Ia
ample room for the animals to pass
between the two traps or between
either trap and the wall. No at
tempt Ia made to conceal the traps
from the cougars, for this would be
impossible, but In his effort to se-
cure the bait from It's fastening the
cougar will lose caution and in It's
tugglng and pulling Is sure to step
into one OF the traps, and then cap
ture Is small matter.
Mr.. Woodworth Is seeking neither
bounty nor glory but wishes to rid
his neighborhood OF the pests in or
der to lessen his poultry yard losses.
