County Court
Endorses Game
Protective Plan

To Whom 1t May Concern:
We, the county court of Josephine
county, endorse the policy of the
Game and Fish Protective associa-
tion of Josephine county, believing
that If elk are liberated in sufficient
ly large herds and properly protect
ed, that in a few years this county
would become as attractive to the
sportsman as in the early days when
elk were plentiful and afforded good
hunting; it should be the aim OF the
association to induce all hunters to
assist in the protection of the herds
until such time as It may be lawful
to hunt them.

Cost of Cougar
In Deer Killed
In Two States

There are 100 cougars in each Of
IA counties of northwest California
and southwest Oregon. Each cou-
gar kills an average of two deer per
week, one quarter male and three
quarters female. Suppose all cou-
gars were killed this year, what
would be the increase in number Of
deer in six years, using as basis
for a beginning, the number Of fe-
males estimated as being killed by
cougars? Also what would be the
meat value estimating each deer of
the increase to weigh rs pounds and
value TO be ten cents per pound.
In making calculations, use fol-
lowing All does to have two fawns
in 1914 and each year thereafter,
one-half male and one-half female,
female fawn to have one fawn at two
years of age and two fawns thereaf-
ter, and all increase to be figured on
same basis, also same basis of half
males and half females.
The first person making a correct
answer to the exact number of deer
we would have at the end of that
period and the value of the meat,
will receive a prize of $500 in trade
at Bishops Clothing store. Send

BIG WILD WEST SHOW
COMING TO TOWN

The definite announcement is
made that the characteristic Okla
homa Ranch Wild West show, which
has created so much enthusiasm else
where, is to exhibit in Grants Pass
Tuesday, Aug. II. This will be good
news, not only to those who view
with regret the passing of the old
romance Of the west, but also to the
| thousands to whom the strenuosity
of a typical wild west show espec-
tally appeals That the Oklahoma
Ranch exhibition is a typical wild
west shOw-and then some-seems
to be universally admitted. Being
recruited in 0klahoma-th great
cattle ranch state-and having for
its incentive the truthful depletion of
life upon the plains and ranges, it is
not strange that it should be accept
ed as the real thing" by those to
whom the life of the wild west" is
fqmiliar.
Naturally. the Oklahoma Ranch
show presents some of the features
that have attracted attention to other
exhibitions of this character-th at
tack upon the stage coach; the cap
ture of an immigrant train by wild
Indians; the arrest and punishment
| of horse thief-these things belong
to the old life of the border, and
they cannot be ignored but, in addi-
tion to these picturesque border
dramas, the Oklahoma Ranch show,
it is announced, offers many features
distinctly its own and which are ex-
Ipected to create a sensation when
presented in this city. For instance,
as a big special feature, the manage
ment offers the latest sensation,
Auto Polo. This marvellous act is
the sensation of the day. There will
be roping of extraordinary merit by
the great champions of Oklahoma,
the Pendleton Roundup and the Cal
gary Stampede. There will be reck-
less riding of bucking COW ponies and
outlaw horses. There will be horse
back quadrilles and extraordinary
shooting contests by experts with
rifle and shot gun.
OF course there will be a street
parade That goes without saying
with this show. But the street dis
play with the Oklahoma Ranch show
is described as so unusual-so pic
turesouely massive in its features
as TO constitute a distinct departure
in street pageantry. It will be Civ
on regardless OF the weather.

BACKS PLAN FOR SPORT

There is no better or more certain
way of continuing this district the
sportman's real paradise than by
stocking the streams with fish and
the liberating OF wild game in the
hills where nature so well provides
for them In both food and shelter.
Stock the streams with fish, llber-

protect both until such time as they
no longer need protection.

of Deer Meat

Say there are so cougars in each
of the IA counties of northwest Cal

and each cougar kills a deer every
three days, rs per cent of which are
does.
Suppose a bounty of $50 for each
cougar were to be paid, and in one
years time, all cougars were killed,
what would be the cost to the IA
counties in bounties. and what the
gain in value of meat, after one year,
valuing deer meat at 10 cents per
pound, and averaging the weight at
IS pounds per deer, using as basis
only the number of deer killed by
the cougar?

correct answer to the above. which
was: Bounty for cougars, $4,000;

PARIS DELIGHTS
IN NEW CABARET
Of CAYEST TYPE
"pEpatant," Next to the "MouIin
Rouge" Has True Holiday
Spirit at Capital.
BY GEORGES DUFREsNE.
special Cable TO The American.

PARIS, Nov. 15,-Paris has a new
place of amusement, which you must
not fail to visit when you come here
next, for it viii repay you even if
your knowledge of French is limited
l am speaking Of the new cabaret
Il Epa tant," situated in the heart of
the mecca of pleasure seekers, almost
next door to the old Moulin SRouge.
OF all public halls of amusement,
the cabaret is the most typically Pa
risian, artistic and unpretentous
sparkling with a spirit so typically
Gallo that all attempts to initiate ii
abroad have failed. Berlin has hun
dreds of cabaTets along Friedrich
strasse, LeipzigerstrasSe and Jaeger
strasse. but they are cabarets only in
name, and there is as much difference
between them and those of Paris a.
between heavy Munich beer and ouI
light, bubbling champagne.
London has its Den Of the Golden
Calf, but it is only the last stopping
place of evening dressed, sleepy
spleenv night birds. and even in
America, the attempts to acclimati2e
the cabaret have been fail"res.
While the original cabarets here
were originally modest, but bizarre,
meeting places of the gayest and most
brilliant snirits among our students
and artists the new cabaret L'Epatan'
Is entirely different, being quite
spacious. well lit up and well VENT
lated. The limitations given there of
all our political literary and dra-
matte stars are masterpieces Of art
and the topical songs with a joke and
q point in every line are delivered
with diabolical skill. as the artistic
PariSian loves it.
Without that glass OF champagne
to which your entrance fee entities
YOU doubt whether any foreign ear
could keep pace with those intellectual
fireworks. 1t was the cabaret of
course. that invented the exceAer
system of making the gate money pay
for a round Of drinks.

EMIGRATION Loss

Shortage of Recruits in Army of
10O,0OO-ItaIy Also Moves
to Stop Drain,
spscIal Cable to The American.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-Emigration
from Austria Hungary to the United
States and Canada is increasing SO
greatly that the authorities in Vienna
and Budapest are taking steps to
check it.
The shortage OF recruits this year
for the armies ofgthe dual monarchy
is said to be about 100000. The farm
ers also are complaining about the
lack Of labor, so many able-bodied
young men having gone abroad.
It is said that over 10000 liable for
army service are now in Canada and
not one responded to the recent sum
mons to return.
The rivalry between the Austro-
American and the Canadian Pacific
companies, the latter of which early
this year established a service from
Trieste, has resulted in more trans
port facilities and cheaper fares.
1t Is understood also that the Ital-
ian Government proposes to stop the
Italian emigration to Amenca, both
North and South, and divert it to

CANADIAN KING
No Chance for Hereditary Rule
Across Border by Duke of
Connaught's Family
BY HERBERT TEMPLE.
Special Gable to The American.


LONDON, Nov. 15.-The recent an
nouncement in a Montreal paper that
1t ls intended to make the Duke of
COnnaught King OF Canada, by max
Ing the office OF Governor General
hereditary in his family, is absolutely
without foundation. II Is well
known fact that the Duke desires to
be relieved from his official duties ar
soon as convenient. in order to en-
able him to spend the remainder Of
his days quietly in England, snc K
Is quite possible that Prince Arthur
OF Connaught may be selected to sue
coed him as Governor General. Eat
even this is far from certain, as the
Princes royal bride would greatly
prefer to remain in England
Most likely the Duke of Connaught
will definitely return to England
some time next year and will then
immediately take up bis residence at
BagshOt Park. where he wants to es-
tabHsh a farm for the purpose OF
breeding horses for military use.
Rumors are current here that the
health of King George is on the de-
cline. and that he is forced to keep a
very strict diet, even the national bev-
erage of tea being now forbidden. His
medical advisers have long wanted
him to take q cure at some CONT
mental resort, but this the King alb
solutely refuses to do.
The Kings poor health Is probably
also the reason why the idea Of a
series Of visits to European courts has
been definitely given up. Queen
Mary. however. win visit her rela-
tives in Germany next summer, and
probably also make an informal call
on the German Empress.

Ferdinand Leaves Vienna, but
Fears to Return to Bulgaria
Minus Austrian Support,
Special Cable to The American.

VIENNA, Nov. 15.-The disastrous
second war into which Bulgaria en-
tered after the quarrel with her erst-
while allies in the Balkan league is
likely to cost King Ferdinand his
throne
King Ferdinand, who has just left
Vienna, is determined not to return to
Bulgaria unless he has the support of
Austria He has been most unpopular
in Bulgaria since the termination of
the war, and 1t Is said that he has
received many letters threatening him
with death, while placards with the
words ITO Let" have been posted on
the walls of the national palace at
night. The monarch frequently alb
scented himself from Sofia. spending
days at a time at Ebenthal.
He has had several conferences with
Count Won Berchtold, the Austrian
Premier, and has had an audience
with Emperor Francis Joseph 1t is
said that If his mission fails he will
abdicate in favor Of his son, Prince
Boris, who, having been brought up
in the orthodox faith, Is more popular
than his father.
King Ferdinand who was elected
Prince of Bulgaria in July, 1887, and
recognized by Turkey which at that
time had suzerainty over Bulgaria
declared himself Car OF the Bulgars
in 1908 and was recognized by the
great powers in the following year.
1t was to his initiative after his
quarrel with Turkey, which led to the
loss by the Ottomans Of Eastern Ru-
melia, that the Balkan league was
formed and the war against the
Turks was begun. In the first cam
paign King Ferdinand went to the
front and was resent at the siege
Of Adrianople and all the great en-
gagemeuts Of the war. Disputes over
the division OF the spoils of war led
to quarrels among the four nations
composing the league, and these cul-
minated in a declaration of war by
Servia and Greece against Bulgaria.
AS result of this war Bulgaria
lost large part of the territory won
from the Turks.

BY PHILIP EVERETT.
lal Gable to The American.

LONDON, Nov. 15.-In spite of the
strenuous efforts Of the Unionist
leaders to stir up feeling against the
Government on the home rule ques-
ton. nobody can fail to see that the
great majority Of English voters do
not care the least about home rule or
Ulster. except in so far as they would
like to see the Irish question out Of
the way, that the Government may
be able to take up the great social
problems whiCh,must be solved in the
very near future, in the interests of
the welfare of the whole nation.
Even in England the time is past
when the voters were satisfied to ac-
cept as gospel truth every word fall
ing from the lips of their Parliamen-
tary representative the reading of
newspapers has become general, and
1t is impossible to restrict people to
read only the papers of their own
party
The majority of English voters
whether supporters of the Govern
ment or not, have therefore gradually
had their eyes opened to the fact that
home rule as proposed by the Gov
eminent does not mean home rule.
Though Unionist papers continue to
depict the terrible position in which
Ulster will find itself, if an Irish
Parliament be established in Dublin
every thinking voter knows that the
home rule bill contains such safe
guards as will not only secure Ulster
adequate representation in the AS
sembly, but also such as will make it
utterly impossible for the Catholics
of ireland to Cypress the Protestants
in the north, many Of whom are in
deed ardent supporters of home rule
