ONLY HALF AS MANY
COYOTES SLAIN 1916
Reduction in Bounty From $500 a
Scalp to $3.50 Probably Responsible
for Decrease Since 1915.

Less than half the number of coy
otes were killed in Umatilla county
during 1915 as were killed in 1915. AT
least the county paid bounty during
the year on only 1920 coyote scalps
whereas in 1915 more than 1900 we're
brought in TO the county clerks Of
flee.
The reduction OF the bounty on Jan.
/. 1915 from s3.OO scalp to $3.50
probably accounts for the decrease in
the showing during the past year.
Umatilla county paid a total OF 1880
in bounty during the year whereas in
1915 the total paid as bounty was
S7O33 of which the state bore one hair.
In addition to the 1920 coyotes, the
records show that bounty has been
paid during the year on 2s bobcats
and one lynx. BY far the greatest
number Of the predatory beasts we're
killed in the spring, S56 coyote scalps
having been presented in April and
2S9 in May. The following is the rec
ord Of the number of coyote scalps
presented for bounty month by month.

Although Figures Show Decrease
Over 1918. last Years sum In

p Pendleton's prosperity during the
past year is reflected in the amount
OF building which has been done here.
There were issued during the twelve
months by Recorder Fitz Gerald 24a
different building permits and the to-
tai estimated cost OF the construction
work as show by the permits is sisS'-
959.O0
This is about $4,000 less than the
1915 total but, when It is taken into
consideration that $13lO00 Of the
seas. 600 total Of 1915 is represented
BY the federal building and the
hrary. u will be seen that there has
been more general building improve
ments during 1916.
The largest amount spent on ans
one building in the city during the
past wear was $4,000 for the new
elevator. The $4,000 for the Tull
apartment house ranks second. BY
far the majority Of the permits were
for new dwellings or improvements to
old ones.
The month Of September during
which the elevator permit was taken
out leads the list with S4s1s5.O0 to
its credit April leads in the number
of permits 80. and Is second In the
valuation total.

MISTAKE PROVED
TO BE PROFITABLE

Sometimes 1t profits one to make
mistake, especially in these days of
advancing prices Witnesseth an ex-
perience of Penland Bros, well known
transfer firm. About three month7
ago coil of pure copper wire was
shipped from Milton to the local man
agement Of the z. I. Il Il, Co. The
Penlands have a standing order 10 de-
liver the telephone company's freight
and, accordingly picked up the wire
But the drayman lost It in his rounds.
At least he never delivered it to the
company and all efforts to trace II
failed. Penands thereupon paid the
company for 1t at the market value,
$40. Saturday when the Taylor Hard
ware Co. was taking inventory, the
coil was found in it's warehouse where
It had been delivered by mistake. The
telephone company was notified and
in turn notified Penlands The wire
was reclaimed and during the time 1t
was lost its value had doubled. How
ever they refused to profit and sold
It back at the original price.
