WHAT WILL RuMANIA Dor

In times Of peace or war there is
always an uncertainty surrounding the
countries in the Balkans so that it is
nothing unusual to find them the OBJ
ject of attention just now in order
to 4find out what they are going to do.
There is no question but what they
are interested and they are looking
zealously after their own welfare.
Pressure has been brought to bear
upon Rumania by the action of the
Teutonie allies in. allowing that coun-
try a month to decide what it will
do. This has been precipitated by the
refusal of Rumania to permit ammu-
milton trains destined for Turkey to
cross it's territory. Both sides have
been negotiating for that country's
aid and now Germany wants a de-
cision.
Rumania.s ambition is to gain con-
troll of the Austrian province of
Pennsylvania, a section largely popu-
lated by Rumanians who have not
Jared any too well under Austrian rule.
This demand stands no show of being
granted as the price of Rumania's as
sistance, but it is offered the Russian
province of Bessarabia if all goes well
with what is left of the alliance. Rus
STA on the other hand is playing for
the Rumanian strength and it can
come nearer to giving the Rumanians
what they want. Though no agree
ment has been reached and Rumania
is still maintaining its neutrality the
holding up of German munitions does
not indicate on the face of it any IA
voritism for that side and that is the
most significant of recent events as
to what may be it's final attitude.

In the recent report Of the Con-

with the question OF the purity Of
carbonated drinks, fruit Juices and
soda water syrups It was shown that
instead OF there being an improve

Itinued to be an increasing disregard
for the quality Of the product The
lined last year show that the percent
age of purity is less than half what
lit was when the pure food law went
into effect. The fruit juices show a
like decrease, while the syrups accord
ing to the last examinations are less
than a third as pure. The report holds
that they are perhaps more honestly
labeled but they are still grossly adul-
terated glucose, chemical preserva-

HIGH BOUNTY ON COYOTE
SCALPS PAID BY OREGON
81 FOR EVERY ANIMAL KILLED
AUTHORIZED BY RECENT
LAW PASSED.

Oregon Is now paying a higher
bounty on coyote scalps than any
state in the union, according to DR..
w, II. Lytle, state veterinarian who
is here today. The recent leglsla-
ture passed a bill providing for the
payment OF three dollars on all coy
otes killed after the law was passed
and the bill carried an emergency
clause which put It into effect at
once. However. County Clerk Sailing
states that he has not yet been off,
cially notified OF the provisions of the
law and cannot thus make payment.
Heretofore. the law has allowed
$3.50 on each scalp but in some
counties stockmen's associations paid
an additional $3.50. Some months
before the. legislature convened. the
bounty fund was depleted and pay
ment was suspended in some coun-
ties Umatilla county advanced the
money until January 1.
Whether or not coyotes killed be-
tween January l and the date of the
passage of the bill will draw $3.50
or $500 is a question which will not
be determined until official notifica-
ton is sent to the county clerks. DR..
Lytle is OF the opinion that, unless
false affidavit is made, the hides
from animals killed prior to the pas
sage of the law will not draw the SO,

ORGANIZED BASEBALL HERE
is DOUBTFUL PROPOSITION
YAKIMA WILL NOT BE IN AND
OTHER TOWNS ARE BEGIN-
MING TO WEAKEN.

The two Oregon towns OF the
Western Tri-state league are the
only hope of keeping life in the
league this year. and without the
support from other towns, they can
not accomplish the feat, according TO
r. W. Ritner, president OF the league.
He thinks II very doubtful whether
there will be organized ball In this
part OF the country this year.
Il have just had a letter from
President Rundstrum OF the Yakima
club saying that II is out OF the ques-
tion to consider maintaining a club
in that city again this year" said
ar. Ritner today. "and while I was
at Salem received a letter from
Manager August Bade of walla Wal
la stating that sentiment there e not
at all favorable toward putting a
team in the field this year. Yester-
day 1 had a letter from President
Clifford Of the Baker club stating
that Baker stands ready to put a
team in the field II the other three
towns are favorably disposed. While
there is some sentiment in Pendleton
against remaining in the league. I
have no doubt but that this city
would rise to the occasion II neces-
sary."
None OF the four clubs made any
money last year. In fact all went
behind. Pendleton probably having
the smallest deficit. II was a bad
year for baseball all over the coun-
try and. in spite OF the shorter sea-
son and the lower salaries. the clubs
could not keep their heads above wa
er.
