daily and citizens of this country are
awakening to the necessity of prompt
action.
State Veterinarian Lytle will take
personal charge of the IL hunters
who are in the employ of the forest
service and also of a number of volun-
teer hunters.
Approved methods of hunting, trap
ping and poisoning will be used to ex-
terminate the coyotes and the surplus
of worthless dogs and cats. After a
conference with the county commits
soners, it was decided to police the
entire county and enforce the quaran-
tine rgidIy.
1t is probable that an increased
bounty will be placed on coyotes. The
bouty is now SO and the pelts are
worth an average of $50, for they are
in prime condition. With the added
bounty it is proposed to give, the
value of a coyote to the hunter will be
approximately $3.50.
Other sections of the state are hav-
ing trouble with jack rabbits. Big
drives have been held at various places
during the past few weeks. A large
number of the long cared bunnies were
slaughtered in a round up near Moro,
on January Is. Near Forest Grove,
it is said that the fruit growers of GER
tain sections have difficulty in keeping
them from making their homes under
the houses Of the community during the
snow storms. They have also done
great damage to the fruit trees.

WATER BOND ISSUE
FAILS TO CARRY

The freeholders of the city did not
seem to take very lively interest in
the bond election last Saturday. Out
of a possible $50, the number of these
voting was only l79. However, for
the fifth time in the past few years,
the proposition of purchasing the prop
critics of the Hood River Light &
Power Co. was turned down. The re.
suits of the election were so for and
So against the proposed bond issue of
$38, 900. Three votes were cast out by
the judges. The first offering of the
company was at $50, 900. then at $40,-
600, and finally the above figure was
reached
The water furnished, by the Light &
Power Co. is acknowledged to be
unfit for use and the voters of the
city are naturally averse to making
useless expenditure for the purchase
of rights to use it. At former cleo
tion 800, 900 bond was voted for the
purpose of installing a municipal water
plant. When the city begins to put in
to effect the plans touching upon this
matter it may be advisable to purchase
the plant and apparatus of the com
pany, but not at the figure at which it
is at present held. Cut the $38, 900 in
half, and many think the price will
sUill be too much. 1t is thought that
the Light & Power Co. will renew
their offer at a much reduced price.

College Kid Scores at Gem.

G. u. Dakin, manager of the Gem
Theatre, was very fortunate in secur-

chief attraction here the past week.
The young comedian is full of enthu-
siasm over the work in which he is
engaged and is making success of it.
However, he does not reach near the
point of excellence in his songs as he
does in his representations. His voice
is too weak for him ever to attain ex-
cellence as a singer.

Believes Amendment Would
Weaken Bill.

Washington, June 6.--To Senator
Stone Of Missouri President Taft
again made 1t clear that he is opposed
to any amendment whatsoever to the
Canadian reciprocity agreement. SEN
ator Stone had heard report that ad-
ministration opposition to the Root
amendment was not entirely sincere
and that Senator Root had been as
sured privately that the president
would not be displeased If his amend
ment were adopted.
II came to the White House," said
the senator, ''to find out for myself
whether the president was in earnest
In opposing the Root amendment. And
| found out. He told me that he was
against the amendment proposed by
Senator Root and would be against
any proposed by any other senator,
Democrat Or Republican. That settles
It for me. am going back to the
senate to carry the fight along those
lines. Every true friend of reciproc-
ity will do the same thing. If we be-
gin by lacking on harmless. amend
ments' we will end by lacking on 9TH
ers which will destroy the bill"
