furnishing answers.
"Why was the Payne bill passed, "
asked the clerk.
Because the democrats continual
ly misrepresented the tariff question
Moore answered.
Did it revise the tariff down
ward?
1T did and equalized many duties.
IF the people enjoyed wonderful
progress under the Payne law why did
they complain?
They listened to ambitious poll
ticians, conscienceless agitators, jour
nails with axes to grand, magazine es-
sayists, who found ii more profitable
to write fiction than to work, theoreti-
cal college professors non producers
and few sincere reformers who were
misinformed and misled'

La Grande, Ore, April 25.-October

admission-are the dates for the 1918
annual Union county fair and race
meeting. These dates were finally

tors recently elected, ana at which time

arduous post will be filled later on,
successor to A. B. Cherry who very
efficiently engineered that department
last year, having not been named to

sell and his assistants was one of the
principal duties falling to the direc-
tors.
The dates chosen for the fair fol-
low the state fair, enabling strings OF
horses at the state meet to come to
La Grande and the lateness of the
date also insures better exhibits. from

faborable than the early dates of last
year, when many commodities were
unripe and unfit for display.

So COYOTE HIDES
ARE BROUGHT HERE

This is coyote scalp season at the
county clerks office and this fore
noon County Clerk Sailing and his
deputies did an unusually heavy bus
mess by taking in total of 5S hides
brought to the office by bounty hunt
ers. All told 351 hides have been
brought in during the month of April.
For each coyote killed the hunter gets
a bounty of $50 and of this amount
the county pays half and the state
half.
Many of the coyotes now being
killed are pups and this accounts for
the heavy business at this time Of
the year. 1t is regarded as good bus
mess to get the coyotes while still
Young as the killing of the young pre-
vents further breeding.
Several times this spring parties
seeking the bounty have brought live
pups to the clerks office, saying they
were not sure as to what part Of the
hide was wanted so brought the whole
coyote along As the clerks office
has no need of live coyotes the hunt
ers have been required to kill them
and then present the hide in order to
get the bounty.

the hearty support of the bill by the
great leaders of our party. Business
