Has Preference for Human Flesh
After Once Tasting 1t.
In the intervals Of rest and recrea-
ton. which Mr.. Rees doubtless allows
himself he may do worse than give
his most attentive consideration to
certain facts mentioned by a writer
in the Indian Forester bearing upon
the evolution of the forest tigers
taste, first for cattle and then for hui
man meat, the India Daily News says.
When tired of the monotony of the
menu provided by deer or wild pig
the forest tiger develops taste for
domestic cattle, and then its modus
operandi Is very interesting study.
The menue Is changed from deep for
est to cattle-breeding area, where the
tiger leisurely carries on its depreda-
tions until shot-an operation which.
however 1t might shock Mr.. Rees, Is
one of the most beneficent acts of the
sportsman.
AS the writer in the aforesaid
periodical says, the transition from
cattle Staying to man Staying Is not
great step. Where cattle abound hui
man beings are, and once the tiger
has tasted the human meat 1t develops
an extraordinary passion for 1t. And
so it must have its daily feed. II

Burman hut and was promptly
slaughtered.
About six years ago a large tiger
was observed on the platform Of the
Shwe-Dogan pagoda at Rangoon and
was shot by party of soldiers told
off for the purpose. The superstitious
Burmese attributed the outbreak Of
plague in Rangoon to the shooting Of
this tiger, which they declared was
some particular manifestation Of the
Buddha. 1t is curious fact, how

co1oN1sr TRAVEL HEAVY.
Year of 1909 Was Record Breaker
More Expected in 1910.

Chicago, Jan. 3.-The colonizing
work done by the railroads in the
west and Pacific northwest during the
spring and fall of 1909 broke all rec
ords in railway history. Figures pre-
pared by the management of the Har-
riman lines show that the number of
colonists who were taken into the Pa
cifc coast territory far exceeded the
number in any other year.
The increase over the colonist move
ment of 1908 was fully 10 per cent,
and may have been in excess of this.
Figures for the movement over the
Hill lines are not available, the man
agement refusing to give any detailed
information regarding the number of
new home makers they transported
into the northwest during the last year
1t is understood, however, that the
Hill lines did not make as determined
an effort to secure colonists as they
have made in former years. This fact
is said to be due to trouble in the
colonist department of the Northern
Pacific which led late in the year tc
the resignation of G. W. Mott, genera
Northern road, the illness of Max Bass
general immigration agent, which re
suited in his death, somewhat retarded
the work of taking homeseekers to the
northwest.
1t is understood that in 1910 the
management of both the Great North
ern and the Northern Pacific, aided by
the management of the Burlington, are
to make a special effort toward popu
lating the vacant lands along theil
lines in the fertile states of the north
| west.
| In each year the railroads have tive
short periods which they call colonis
periods. The spring colonist period il
from March l to April 30, while tn,
fall period is from September Is t,
October Is. In the fall period of 1909
the Hartman lines sold a total of IL,
541 tickets to California, Oregon
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada
Utah, Colorado and Wyoming points
In the corresponding period of 1908
the same lines sold total of 6,227
The increase for 1909 was 1914 tickets
This is an increase for the fall perio,
of S5 per cent. In the fall Of 1908 col
onist tickets were sold between Sep
tember and October 81, during whicl
time the Hartman line sold total o
1876 tickets. Accordingly, in jus
half the time in the fall Of 1909 tn
\ Hartman lines sold within 4,275 tick
cts of the number sold during the &C
day period of 1908.

HAPPENINGS FROM AROUND Oregon
WATER 1000 ACRES IN CROOK
Homesteaders Near Bend Cooperate
to Reclaim Valley Land.

Homesteaders Near Bend Cooperate
to Reclaim Valley Land.
Bend-L. D. West has secured a
water right from Fall river 25 miles
south of Bend, and will irrigate 1000
acres next year. A company be to
known as the Fall River Irrigation
company will be organized in the near
future.
The land to be irrigated is located
between the mouth of Fall river
on the South and Spring river on the
North, on the west side of the De-
schutes, the surface being almost
level, and having a gentle slope to-
wards the north and east.
The cultivation and irrigation Of the
same quality of soil in the vicinity has
proved that it will produce immense
crops of timothy hay and vegetables.
A remarkable feature of this project
is that there will be no waste land be-
tween the canal and the river, as there
are no high ridges and no rock what
ever.
The lands included under the system
are owned by an energetic class OF
homesteaders, and the company will
be organized and the capital stock
owned entirely by them. Among these
are M. j. Main, John Usher, A. D.
Lewis, John Peters, Joe Hoffman, Bot
Bowser and Harold Palmer.
The main canal will be eight feet
wide on the bottom and six miles long

State Wins Battle for Taxes.

Salem-The state has won the first
battle for the collection of several
thousand dollars of accrued taxes dur
ing 1906, 1907 and 1908, under the
gross earnings act Of 1906 from the
Wells-Fargo Express company. Suit
was instituted several months ago in
the circuit court for this county. The
attorney general demurred to the an
swer the of the corporatino, and the de-
murrers were sustained by Circuit
Judge Burnett.
The court held that to answer to the
complaint made by the corporation to
the effect that the gross earnings tax
was unconstitutional because it was
enacted by the initiative, was not suffi-
cient, for the Supreme court of the
state Of Oregon has held the initiative
amendment valid. The point has beer
carried by the Pacific States Telephone
& Telegraph company to the United
States Supreme court for final deter.
mination in the case similar to the one
now being prosecuted by Attorney Gen
eral crawford against the Wells. Fargo
company.

RAILS TO CENTRAL OREGON
Preparations Go Forward for Con.
struction of Huge Bridges.


Madras = Preliminary preparations
are going ahead for the immense steel
bridge which is to span Willow creek
at Madras. This bridge is on the Des-
chutes Railway company's line and will
be the highest as well as the longest
bridge projected for Central Oregon.
Another immense steel structure will
be the Oregon Trunk bridge across the
Columbia at Cello. This will be the
second bridge the Hill people have
built across the Columbia within 100
miles of Portland.
A large number of new men were
added to the construction crews on
both roads during the past week. Car
loads of laborers pour into the Harri-
man camps over the Columbia South
ern railroad to Grass Valley and Shan
iko. While the Hartman people are
thus mastering forces by way of their
line through Sherman county, the Hill
contractors are daily receiving re-
cruits at The Dalles and Dufur. Az
many as 100 laborers are reported to
have been lodged st Dufur, the termi.
nus of the Great Southern spur from
The Dalles, at one time, while to
Grass Valley, on the Hartman road,
even larger numbers were gathered.
June is set as the time for the com
pletion of the Hartman road into the
Deschutes vaeelly. Twohy Bros, gen
eral contractors for that road, are au
thority for the date. 1t is the genera
