Many Predatory Animals Killed.

More than $4,000 predatory ami
mails, over 1900 of which were coy
otes, were destroyed during the fiscal
government year by the trappers
and hunters hired by the government
according to reports from Washing
ton received by the local department
of the biological survey.
The report states that 1880 coy
otes, 1854 bobcats, 4z4 wolves,
mountain lions and 20S6 miscellan-
eous wild animals were killed during
the year, and this does not take into
account many animals poisoned and
whose bodies were never recovered.
The government uses three methods
in it's warfare against predatory
beasts, trapping, shooting and pois-
oning. Most of the animals were kill
ed in the western states where rabies
has been prevalent.-Pendleton E. O..

SCHOOL NOTES.
(By S. E. Notson, Co. Supt. }

The State Teachers Association
will meet in Portland, December o.
20. The Educational Council will
meet on the 9th, and the regular
program will be presented on the two
days folloWin. Arrangements have
been made to have some of the ablesL
school men of the country on the pro-
lgram. The Eastern Division of the
Association has voted to unite with
the Western Division, so that there
will be but one association from this
time on. The railroads have made a
rate Of one and one-third fare for the
| meeting. The hotels are planning
to entertain the teachers royalty at
rates. We hope that
this county will be representated by
/ a large delegation of teachers. We
are somewhat issolated here, hence
we need to get out once in a while
and mix with others. We need
the inspiration which comes from lis
tening to some of the educational
leaders.
A local educational meeting was
held in District No. "a last Saturday
night. The pupils and patrons turn
ed out in numbers sufficient to fill the
schoolhouse. The pupils presented
very interesting program. This was
followed by short address by the
writer, after which the lantern was
brought into service and nearly
hundred slides were shown and ex-
planned. The ladies of the neighbor-
hood then took charge of affairs and
served a splendid lunch. Everybody
seemed to enjoy the evening and
another such an event will probably
occur in the near future.
The writer has been visiting the
Heppner school few hours at time
during the past two weeks. Usually
the approach of the holidays begins to
tell upon a school at this time of
year, but there is very little evidence
that the work is stacking in this
school. | think that there has not
been, since my acquaintance with
this school began, a more serious and
studious student body than the one
now to be found in the school. AL
most without exception, the pupils
seem to be intensely interested in
their work and go about in a happy
frame of mind The writer had the
pleasure of addressing the high school
Monday morning, this being the oc-
casion of his final official visit. 1t
was an occasion of unusual interest
to the writer, as he watched the work
of a large number of these students
since they were in the primary grad
es. 1t is the devout wish of the writ
er that every one of these students
may meet with we'll deserved success.
Within fw dayes the writer will
close up his work as county super
intendent, after having devoted near
ly eight and half years to the work.
1t is his purpose to say few things
through the press next week by the
way of review of the work and sug-
gestion as to what the public may do

Richards Buy Big Farm,

What is known as the Rogers
farm on Butter Crekk has been pur-
chased by Thomas Richards and sons,
of this place. There are 4SO acres of
land in this farm and the considera-
tion paid was $4,000
OF the $50 acres there are 230 ac-
res of alfalfa land and the rest is bot
tom land that can be irrigated when
there is surplus of water, and which
will grow good barley without irriga-
tion.
This is the second large farm
bought by Mr.. Richards and associa-
tes this year. Early in the spring
they acquired 200 acres of growing
alfalfa from Pete Sheridan on Lower

SPECIAL POLICE
 ACTING STRANGELY
Deny Knowledge of What Sunday Meeting Is For and Will Not
 Attend, They Say.

The action of the majority of the supernumerarN policemen in reference to the meeting to be held Sunday aft ernoon in Dudjack's hall for the aver
 red purpose of talking over a plan to seek more pay, is causing much amusement about the city.
 Each and every one of the super numeraries approached on the subject stOutlv denies any knowledge of what the meeting is for Every one denies knowing by whom it is being called and all say, 'someone just told me to be there" Even those who are said to be leaders in the movement, when questioned, positively refuse any in side information and declare that they were just asked to come around. The majority of the super numeraries profess to be entirely out of sympathy with such a movement as the one Sunday and if their state ments are to be believed there will be nobody present when the meeting is called to order as they all deny that they intend to lend their presence to such a gathering, holding the view that if a business meeting is to be held, police headquarters is the place to hold it.
 From the attitude of some of the supernum eraries it is evident that they are very much afraid that the calling of Sundays meeting will be viewed with disfavor by the powers that be and for fear that they may be impl- cated in it and that their chances of prom otiOn may thereby be somewhat jeopardized, they profess absolute ig- norance of the plans and in a dgni- fled manner declare they will not at tend. It is also possible that they have changed their minds since the meeting was first suggested and now feel that they are pursuing the wrong course so are making digni- fled exit.
