dant harvest of good fruit this sea-
son.
Our city council is enforcing an
order requiring all dogs of the place
to be muzzled. This action is taken
as precautionary measure to pre-
vent the spread of rabies. Many a
cur is being quartered at the present
time in the city pound, having no
owner to claim him and see that he is
properly equipped with muzzle, and
Marshal Frank will soon be called
upon to send them to the happy hunt
ing ground. This will be good rid
dance and greater peace and quiet
should prevail. However, the order
to muzzle the dog running at large is
a good one and it is worthy of note
that the city is having it carried out
to the letter.
Geo. Miller, of Cecil, reports the
killing of mad coyote at his place
on Tuesday. The animal came into
the door yard and was shot by one
Of the hired hands from the VIM. o.
Sullivan ranch. These coyotes would
seem to be very hungry and it may
be that while many of them act as
though mad and perform capers not
looked for in such wild animals, yet
1t may be that very few of them are
afflicted with hydrophobia. Just the
same, there is no need to take any
chances and domestic animals that
are bitten by them should be watched
very closely. This coyote at the
Miller place chewed up one Of the
dogs in bad shape.
The report of the state health Of
ficer on the coyote that was killed
last week by Ike Howard, is to the eff
feet that the animal was afflicted
with the rabies. Out of total of
$50 specimens that had been re-
ceived and examined by the depart
ment, this was the first to show the
disease. This coyote had bitten two
dogs on the Mat Halvorsen place be-
longing TO John Johnson, and Mr..
Johnson is keeping the animals con-
fined, awaiting developments. About
the same time that Mr.. Howard kill
ed his coyote, Oscar Williamson dis
patched another one at his place that
had many symptoms of being mad.
He did not take time to have the
head shipped to Portland for exam
nation. and he does not think the
coyote had bitten any of his dogs or
stock.

rented from Mr.. Clark. Al. says he
has about eight hundred acres OF
grain to put in this spring. Go to it.
AL, the prospects are good.
The snow has been gone for about
two weeks or more but owing to the
fact that it has been foggy for the
past week the ground is drying very
slowly, it will be couple of weeks
yet before there can be any farming
done.
Lawrence Redding was fixing fence
one day last week and had the mis-
fortune to get his team and wagon
mired down. Lawrence says he isn't
going to fix any more fence until II
gets dry enough for him to stay on
top. c. E. Jones had the same ex-
perience few days before this.
Owing to the condition of the roads
the Heppner, Eight Mile and Goose
berry stage line has been cut into.
One team comes from Heppner to
Eight Mile and is met there by a
team which takes the mail 10 Goose
berry. This is only temporary. When
the roads are good the one team from
Heppner makes the round trip.

ways.

Umatilla county will vote at the

last Monday evening.
Details of the plan to be submitted
to the people are being worked out

CLUB ENDORSES
NAVAL BASE BILL
Re-Establishment of Hardman-Mon-
ument Mail Route is Again De-
layed.-Club Fayors Nom
Partisan Tariff Board.

The Heppner Commercial Club at
their meeting on Wednesday evening
adopted resolutions favoring the AS
toria Naval Base Bill, which is now
pending in Congress. The bill pro-
vides for the establishment of naval
base at the mouth of the Columbia
and asks Congress for an initial ap-
preparation of s3,OO0,0OO.
Secretary Smead read letter from
the Portland Chamber of Commerce
which stated that the United States
Chamber of Commerce, by vote of
215 to Is had favored the appoint
ment OF a non-partisan tariff board
and asked the endorsement of the
move by the local club. The club
was unanimous in its endorsement.
A communication to the club from
W. S. Mckinney, dealing with
mans inhumanity to man" was read
by the secretary.
T. j. Mahoney, chairman of the
committee on the Hardman- -Monu-
ment mail route, has received letter
from Congressman Sinnott stating
that the bid of Arthur Harlow for
carrying the mail would not be con-
sidered by the postoffice department
for the reason that the bid had not
been presented in the proper form.
Mr.. Harlows bid was the only one
received by the department. Mr..
Harlow has re-submitted his bid in
| proper form and the committee,
through Mr.. Sinnott, is now striving
to get a reconsideration from the
| department.
ChaS. Thomson, as a member of
the creamery committee, made par
tial report that the committee was
still working and that more would be
accomplished in the matter of rails
ing funds for the proposition as soon
as Ira M. Morgan returned from
lone. In this connection, interesting
talks wese made by O. M. Whiting
ton and N. A. Clark. Mr.. Whiting
ton, speaking from the farmers view
point, is of the opinion that very
little of the S1100 which must be Sc
cured, will have to be raised in Hepp-
ner. He rather believes that many
of the dairymen now selling cream
will be only too glad to take stock in
the local creamery. Mr.. Whiting
ton asked for a closer cooperation be-
tween the farmer and the business
man in town. At the conclusion of
Mr.. Whittington's talk, secretary
Smead made a motion that a COM
mittee of three be appointed by the
club to confer with like committee
Of the Morrow County Farmers I'm
ion on all matters which may come
up that are of mutual interest to both
organizations. The motion was car
ried.
The committee on roads was in
struoted to meet with the county
court next week to take up the mat
ter of improving Morrow county's
end of the Hog Hollow road. This
committee consists of VIM. Haylor,
Albert Bowker and w. B. Barratt.

ROARING WATERS TELL
STORY 70 CHILDREN

Recently Mrs. C. w. Shurte had
her sixth grade pupils submit story
about the high water which was oc-
casioned by the chinook. She prom
ised them the best one would be
printed. The composition by Carl
Cason was given first honor and is
herewith published.
Heppner, Oregon, Feb. 22, 1916.
Dear Mrs. Shurte:-
/ am going to tell you what the
creek said to me.
AS was standing on the bridge
the roaring waters told me this story.
II have come from the mountains
so high where the snow Is deep and
wet, it came to my beds and followed
me here.
'I have made many fish unhappy
l lashed upon the shore and left some
of my friends there. I'm muddy,
dirty, ugly, so that no one will like
to look at me. There was some stock
came and started to drink me but the
mud was too much for them.
II have washed away logs, bridges,
earth and fish. I'm so unhappy and
l will be glad again when get pure
and white. when | can see the fish
caught beside me.
when can go into the fields and
irrigate them, when the stock will
drink me, when | can put out fires,
and do many useful things to the
world.
II am now on my way to the
ocean, where others can see me.
There will help carry the ships that
float on me.
II will have to leave you now and
run on to the ocean,"
Yours truly,
CARL CASON.

RABBIT PARASITES
NOT HUMAN PESTS

1.-THE recent scare about the dan
ger of eating jack rabbits is entirely
without foundation" says Asa G.
Chandler, of the Oregon Agricultural
College department of Zoology. "Ac-
cording to recent newspaper reports
there is danger of infection from a
dangerous tapeworm parasite, Taenia
echinococcus, when rabbits are eaten.
1t is true that the aforementioned
tapeworm is human parasite to be
dreaded, hut 1t has nothing to do
with the tapeworm cysts found in the
tissue of rabbits.
''The life histories of all tape
worms are very similar. The adult
tapeworms live in the intestines of
their hosts and produce thousands of
eggs. These eggs pass out of the
body of the animal that harbors the
worm and develop into little round
embryos with six hooks. To continue
their development these must be eat
en- by some other animal, usually OF
an entirely different kind When so
eaten the little hix-hooked embryo
bores its way into the organs and
tissues of its new host, and develops
into a cyst or bladder on the inside
of which, turned inside out, there
grows one or many tapeworm heads.
These bladder worms may grow to a
very large size, but no further devel-
opment takes place until they are
eaten by the kind of animal from
which the eggs originally came.
"The common bladder worms
found in the connective tissue of rab-
bits, especially just under the skin
and between the muscles, are the lar
vac of species Of tapeworm known
as Taenia serials, and will develop
further only If eaten by dog or
coyote, or possibly by some other
carnivorous animals such as wolves
and foxes.
"In the intestine of such animals
the bladder is digested off, the
head turns right side out, fastens
itself to the wall of the intestine by
hooks and suckers, and begins to
form a series Of segments, thus devel-
oping into the ordinary type Of tape
worm. If the 'bladders' of the rabbit
were eaten by man, however, the
heads as we'll as the bladders would
be digested and there would be no
evil effects. Rabbits are again in
fected by accidentally eating the eggs
voided with the excrement of dogs
or coyotes.
"The species known as Taenia
echinococcus, supposed to have been
found in jack rabbits in Portland, is
another species which will develop
and become mature only in dogs, coy
otes and wolves, but the bladder
worm stage develops in a great va
riety of animals, such as sheep, cat
tie, goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hogs,
some birds, and in man. 1t Is rare
in rabbits and when found in them is
almost always in the liver or lungs;
in this larval condition it is absolute
ly harmless to man. Only If swal-
lowed as eggs do these tapeworms
develop in the intestine of the dog
and are voided with the excrement,
there Is danger of infection from al
lowing dogs to lick the faces Of child
rem, and children should be taught
the danger of kissing dogs"

Some interesting figures regarding
the number of great inventions which
have been brought about during the
past fifty years by the different ma
tions of the world, were brought to
our attention this week by Geo. Aiken
through clipping from the National
Geographical Magazine. The United
States heads the list with 38. Ger
many and Great Britain are listed
second with 3 each. Italy is fourth.
Some contention has been made that
Germany leads the world in the num-
Der Of inventions, but these figures,
which come from an authOritive
source, disprove any such contention.
The Yankee inventive genius is hard
to beat.

The Ideal Young Woman.

The above topic will be discussed
by Minister Handsaker at the Chris

A great deal of interest is being
manifested in the subject as Mr..
Handsaker has sent letters to a great
many young men of Heppner asking
an expression on the subject. He
will read from these replies in his
sermon.
A similar service will be held Sun
day evening, March 12,, when the
young men will be under considera-
tion and the young women will be
given an opportunity to speak their
sentiments on the model young man.

Water Did Little Damage.

Roy Glasscock, who lives few
miles below Mt. Vernon, was here the
first of the week. He was accompan-
led by his sons Edward and Harland.
His son Edward is as fine a specimen
of young manhood as is developed in
the Mt. Vernon region. He is II
years of age and now growing on his
seventh foot. Or to be more specific
he is six feet two. Mr.. Glasscock re-
ports that very little damage was
done in that section by the recent
high water. He also states that there
was plenty of hay in that section. 1t
might not be distributed equally as
hungry cows might desire but it is in
the country.-Blue Mountain Eagle
