WOLVES ARE MORE PLENTIFUL
Slaughter Of Elk Forces Many Wild
Animals Into Open for Food
Capturc o. Three.


Albany, Ore Gray wolves are more
plentiful IN the lower ranges of the
Cascade mountains In eastern Linn
county now than ever before. This
is the statement Of John Roberts. a
welknown timber cruiser who resides
in the mountains Is miles northeast
Of Foster. He says that there are no
more cougar than usual III the noun
tains and less Wild cats than last
year.
The wolves are much bolder than
usual, too, Mr.. Roberts says. He
brought the hide OF a big wolf, which
he had killed on the ranch Of George
B. Whitcomb, to town and received
the state and county bounty at the
county clerks Office. This wolf had
killed a sheep in broad daylight, and
was eating Ii close to the trail, when
a man named Porter who runs a pack
train from Whitcombs ranch TO
the Paywell mine. passed by The
wolf refused to leave the carcass an
til Porter was almost upon 1t, and
then erept away sullenly.
The packer had no gun. SO the wolf
escaped, but he told Mr.. Roberts
about the occurrence, and he and Ern-
est Whitcomb, by some skillful trap
ping. managed to catch all three Of
the band Of wolves which had been
killing sheep on the Whitcomb ranch.
Mr.. Roberts says the presence Of
so many wolves in the lower ranges
OF the mountains Is due to the fact
that there was an open season for cir
the past two years The elk have lived
FOR years on the most remote and
inaccesIlble ridges far back in the
mountains, and as the wolves have
lived principally on elk, they have
remained with the herd far back in
the mountains. When the first open
season for elk in many years oc-
cured in 1907 and 1908. hunters pene-
trated to these unfrequented parts OF
the mountains and killed off most Of
the elk. This has driven the wolves
TO lower levels in search Of food. Lack
Of food recently has made the ami
mails very bold. and when there are
a fse. of them together they are be-
coming really dangerous.
J. II. Hamilton of Holley also pre-
sented the skin of a gray wolf at the
county clerks Office and secured
the state and county bounty
He killed this animal near Holley in
July. Mr.. Hamilton also received the
bounty on the skin Of monster
cougar.

Jasper heard a voice, and, looking
around, he beheld beautiful fairy.
"Oh!" exclaimed Jasper, "are you
the fairy Resolution"
mo" answered the fairy princess,
'rWil Power, and nobody can meet the
fairy queen Good Resolution until they
have perfect confidence in me-"
"You won't get me a whipping, like
Mischief did, will your" asked Jasper.
mo, indeed, 1 won't" answered the
fairy.
"Then I will trust you,'' said Jasper.
The fairy then took Jasper into the
palace, where he met the fairy prince
Honesty and the Princess Truth. Lit
tie Prince Unselfishness divided all his
playthings with Jasper. They told him
that Will Power was the crown Prin-
cess, and that every crown princess for
generations back was named Will
Power, for without will power there
could be no Queen Good Resolution,
and without Queen Good resolution
there could be no Truth, Honesty and
unselfish princes or princesses.
you may come to play with US often,
but should you fail to keep Queen Good
Resolution as your friend, then you
win never be able to see us again."
"Oh, mamma" said Jasper when he
awoke next morning, 'I resolved to be
a good boy always"
That is a long time ago, and Jasper,
with the help of the fairy Will Power,
has always had the fairy queen Good
Resolution as his friend.

The boy quickly opened his eyes and
saw before him the wide door.
Get off of the COW now" said Mis-
chief, and off jumped Jasper. "Come
along" said Mischief, and in they
went.
They walked and walked until they
came to the end of the cave. There
a pot was hanging over few Goals.
The elf then said it was time to eat.
"SWhat is in that pot?'' said Jasper.
"Why it is some snakes we are going
to eat"
"Snakes!" calculated Jasper. "Do
you think I shall eat snakes? Why,
l would rather die first
'Well, you shall have to eat them,
anyway"
mo, 1 won't" said Jasper, and
away he sped to the opening where he
came in.
OF course Mischief followed, but he
could not catch Jasper.
Soon night came. Jasper had already
found a place to sleep. 1t was in a

the log voice said:
81 know who you are. You are the
boy that has a chain around your
neck that makes you bad. can
take off that chain,'' said the fairy,
for it was the fairy who could take
off Mischief's chains.
Nov, feel on your neck and see II
it is there" and, behold, it had dis
appeared.
How am 1 to get home now?" said
Jasper.
"Hi, li!' said the fairy, and away
flew Jasper through the air and landed
in the kitchen at home, where brother,
sister, mamma and papa were.
"Oh. dear mamma and papa, l will
never be mean again. and he gave
each of the family sweet kiss.

Jasper was delighted at the thought
of having it for his own. He soon
found out that there were two other
boys there, who happened to be ms
cousins. At this he was still more de-
lighted, but on trying to play with
them they told him to hush up and
that they didn't wish to play. This did
not hurt Jasper any; instead he threw
stones and sticks at them and blew
his horn in their ears.
But at this they got up and gave
him a singing slap on the cheek.
So he went away and tried to amuse
himself with a mother dog and her
pups by throwing stones at her and
making the pups yelp until at last the
mother bit him viciously.
Upon examining it they found that
1t was pretty serious, at which Mischief
laughed till his sides ached.
The nurse who took care of Jasper
was very kind hearted. She gave JAS
per kitten to play with.
But Jasper teased the kitten until it
gave him two rather serious scratches
-one on the cheek and the other on the
arm. At this he resolved to be good,
if he broke his neck doing it.
And, behold! There before him stood
a tiny fairy, who said:
'I am the fairy, Good Resolution, and
will take you home if you wish"
"Oh, / do do" chied Jasper "Please
take me home"
And he found himself on the way to
school, as If nothing had happened.

Beginning of Story Completed by Juniors

"She is a very wonderful and tiny
fairy" said the elf, Children often
find her very difficult to keep after they
have discovered her."
Jasper and the Mischief now started
for home. The more Jasper tried to
loosen the claim the tighter it grew
until he felt so choked he was glad
to leave 1t untouched, and 1t gradu-
ally became trife less irksome.
Now began time of torture for Jas
per, for the wicked elf was always at
his elbow, he made the boy tease his
little brothers and sisters, stay away
from school and utter terrible un-
truths.
One day the elf whispered: Jasper,
you must be more mischievous, you
are too good. 1 wish you to go out to
the barn, harness up the COW and we
will travel far from your parents, who
are always scolding you"
Now you see, dear children, that Jas
per was enchanted by Mischief, so he
was obliged to obey; the patient old
COW looked at Jasper, in great sur
prise, when he harnessed her up: but
he jumped on her back and drove her
out of the barn, then he and the elf
started on their journey.
After they had Travelled all day and
night had come on Jasper was ter
ribly tired. He had not been able to
ride on the cows back. as her bones
were very sharp. How anxious he was
to reach the wondrous castle that the
elf had promised should be his.
When he was almost asleep the elf
cried: "Beholdi" And he saw an open
door directly ahead of him.
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-25

One day lad who was on his way
to school met a very, very old man,
who said to him: Little boy, what
is your name, and where are you go
ing?"
The boy answered: my name is
Jasper, and l am on my way to school;
but l wish 1 had holiday all the time.
/ do not like my teachers; 1 do not
like to study; 1 do not like to go to
school,"
Then the old man invited Jasper to
take a walk with him to the woods.
He said: 1--WE will gather flowers and
we will have lots of fun"
But when they reached the woods the
old man changed all at once into tiny
elf, and he danced around and be-
haved in such an impish fashion that
JASPER cried: How can you change
so quickly from bent, old man to a
tiny child, and will you please tell
me your name?"
Then the eli answered: my name is
Mischief. I love to enchant children,
especially boys" Whereupon he threw
a. chain around Jasper's neck and
cried: Now, you are an enchanted
boy, and you will be in my power
until you can persuade some one to
remove the chain from your neck.
There is a powerful fairy whose name
is Good Resolution. She is the only
one who is powerful enough to aid
you"
By this time Jasper was very much
frightened.
80, Mr.. Elf" said he: where can
I find that good, kind fairy?"

lures of this gathering was the
singing. Milo. Barnes the author
and singing Evangelist led this
part of the service. We noticed
in the choir. Mr. Grace Barnes
and his two sons, Miss Fleta
Barnes, Mss Gray, Miss Farris,
Mr.. T.. L. Franklin. Prof. Suth-
erland and others. The singing
was certainly grand and soul in
spring. TIE success Of the sing
ing could not have been other
wise. Wherever there are a few
Barnes collected together there
is sure to be a good singing. 1t

that it would cost every man
that gave his seat to a lady. five
dollars, were simply parts Of a
deep laid plot.
1t all worked out nicely DR..
Powell was at his best. He
swayed his audience from laugh
ter to tears at will. 1t is a well
known psychological truth that
laughter and tears are the two
most potent forces for unsnap-
ping unwilling pocket books.
They unSnapped that day quickly
Sometimes il seemed almost too
quickly if that were possible.
Mr.. led Bennett, the Doctors
very efficient Secretary, had hard
work at times to keep track of
the offerings. Mr.. Bennett did
well though even if he did carry
off borrowed lead pencil. AS
everything seemed to be for the
good of the order that day, and
good humor and brotherly feeling
tioated in the air, the owner of
the pencil said never a word.
DR.. Powell made only one mis-
take during the whole day. The
debt to be raised was 500. After
the offerings totaled something
like $3.50 the Doctor asked the
Secretary what the amount was.
He had no idea that it was that
much or he would not have asked
the question. But the answer
was Immediately lost in the fog
for he did not pay any attention
to the figures at all but kept |
right on with the same speed and
when they finally rounded up the
total of the offerings was $S43. Az
1t was certainally a splendid
showing. Some of the Salem
members laughed for JOY while
others cried for the same reason.
One of the most remarkable fea-
lures of the whole collection was
the cash feature. Nearly every
subscription was paid on the
spot.
Another of the enjoyable fea-
