Daring Coyote Steals Pup
From Mother Dog-Kills It

A most unusual scene was witness
ed by R. W. Turner on his Sand Hol-
low ranch recently, in which he, two
coyotes. a female dog and her pup all
took leading parts.
Mr.. Turner was out On the hills
building drop pens, preparatory for
the lambing season. He was accom-
panied by one of his dogs and her
young pup. Mr.. Turner was busy
with his work when suddenly his at
tention was attracted by a fierce
growl from the mother dog, who was
dashing up the hill by this time. 1t
was then that Mr.. Turner saw the
cause of the commotion. A big, sleek
coyote was coming straight down the
hill at high speed. He struck the
mother dog full speed ahead and sent
her rolling down the hill. Without
slowing up to any appreciable degree,
the coyote rushed up to within few
feet Of Mr.. Turner, grabbed the
young pup In his teeth and started
back up the hill.
Things happened rapidly. Mr.. Tur-
ner picked up a pitchfork which was
laying handily by and started after
the kidnapper. By the time the coy
ote got to the top of the hill, the
sheepman evidently appeared SO men,
acingly near, that the pup was drop
ped. Here the coyote was Joined by
another Of his specie and they quick
ly disappeared from sight over the
hill.
The pup was dead when Mr.. Turner
picked him up.

PARTISAN LEAGUE
|. CONDEMNED BY FARMER
Arthur Foster OF Clyde, n. d. win
Speak at lone Tomorrow After
noon and at Heppner in the Even
ing.

National publications like THE
Country Gentleman" Literary Di-
gest," ETC., have repeatedly told the
romance of the Non-Partisan League
in North Dakota. But the first time
that Oregon folks have had an oppor-
tunity of hearing the story first hand
was when Arthur Foster related it re-
Gently at luncheon OF the Portland
Press Club.
Mr.. Foster is a North Dakota far
mer, temporarily living in Oregon.
He and a friend were the only two
farmers in an entire township who
refused to join the League. He tells
Of the manner in which farmers fell
for the argument and promises Of So
licitors, how the League captured the
Republican party and elected state
officers, legislature and even a Su-
preme Court, pledged to do the bid
ding of its leaders. He tells of the
millions which went into a chain of
farmers stores and Of the establish
ment of country and city newspapers
controlled by the League; of the Sc
cret caucus which controlled the leg
islature and of the legislation which
it passed. Finally he tells Of the
state-owned utilities which we're
founded and the resulting increase of
taxation which was the undoing Of
the Sociaistic plan of this farmers or
ganization.
Arthur Foster will speak in lone
tomorrow (Friday) afternoon and
will appear in Heppner in the evening
of the same day. Evey farmer in
Morrow county is urged to hear Mr..
Foster speak. Speaking here will be
held at the Odd Fellows Hall at 1880.

Jos. Burgoyne, who has been very
seriously i'll, is reported to be slowly
recovering. Mr.. Burgoyne took down
several weeks ago with the flu and
his physician had a hard time fight
ing of pneumonia. The sickness has
left him in very weakened condi-
tion and his recovery is slow.
Rev. J. c. Hall, pastor of the Con-
gregational church, preached at Lex
ington on last Sunday, and the COM
ing Sunday will occupy the pulpit Of
his church in lone, where he makes
his home. Mr.. and Mrs. Hall spent
few days the first of the week Wis
iting with people of Lexington, and
accompanied Mrs. Maude Pointer to
Heppner on Monday afternoon. Rev.
Mr.. Hall is a very pleasant gentle
man and is highly spoken of as
minister.
Easter Sunday Is to be observed by
special services at the churches in
Lexington. In the forenoon at the
usual hour the Congregational Sum-
day school will render a program Of
recitations and song, in which the pu-
pills of the school have the leading
part, and this service will be follow
ed at once by the regular services Of
the church, when an Easter sermon
will be delivered by Rev. John Miller.
At the Christian church at 11:00 a.
m, VIM. c. Worstell. the pastor, will
deliver a short Easter address, and
at $3.50 p. m. the Sunday school will

alton has been made to get up these

A crew Of surveyors connected
with the o. w. r. & N. Co., is now
camped at Lexington and doing some
work which it is surmised will have
to do with relocation Of sdetracks
and stock chutes at the depot. All
these improvements are on the north
side of the main line now, and recent
purchasers of lots from the Penland
estate will shut of access to the stock
pens on that side when they fence up
their property. This will force the
company to use their right of way on
the south side OF the depot, where the
most Of 2O0foot strip lies.
]. F. Mcmillan has added to his
land holdings by the recent purchase
of the Willard Blake quarter. lying
Just west Of his hill farm. Mr.. Nc
milan is now plowing this land using

Mcmillan about 1900 acres Of good
farming land.

.RE-SEED|NG NECESSARY
IN LEXINGTON FIELDS
Many Farmers Facing Problem of
Putting in Grain Again-Wheat
Failed to Come for Different Rea-
sons-Other Items of Interest from
That Vicinity.

From various causes, much of the
fall seeding in the Lexington wheat
belt failed to come forth at the pro-
per season, and as result it is nee
essary that much re-seeding be done.
This is condition that seldom hap
pens in that part of the country and
it will doubtless be the means Of cut
ting the yield this season. ]. F. Nc
MILAN states that on his place, fol-
lowing his usual custom of good cul-
tivation, he apparently oyerdid the
matter for this particular season. and
narrowed his fall grain a little too
much just after it had come up we'll
The narrowing left the grain in such
condition that it did not get we'll root
ed again before the freezing weather
set in the latter part of October, and
so the grain died. Other grain did
not get through the ground owing to
its baking badly and leaving the sur
face too hard for the grain to get
through and the seed rotted. Per-
haps similar conditions prevailed
with numerous other farmers, at any
rate, they are facing the problem of
getting more seed into the ground,
and so much spring seeding necessar-
ily means short crop, unless the eli
matte conditions later in the season
should turn out to be ideal. The
backward weather at this time is also
working against successful re-seeding
and much of the grain is going into
the ground a little too late for the
best results.
Jos. Devine is completing some
very extensive improvements to his
farm residence property. H has
put in full basement, installed water,
heating and electric lights, and now
has very modern and convenient
home, an indication that some degree
of prosperity has been the portion of

S|LAGE STOCK FEED
ESSENTIAL TO PROFIT
Valuable Pointers Cleaned BY Stock.
men at La Grande Feeding ScOol
Last Week.

Stockmen must cut down their
herds and must use silage for feed IL
the stock business is to flourish, ac-
cording to facts brought out at the
Eastern Oregon Feeders convention
held last week at La Grande.
1t was pointed out at the conven-
tion that a stockman cannot make
money if he must buy hay and feed
on the present basis, but he can claim
profits if he raises his own feed,
which could not otherwise be market
ed to advantage. The use of silage
was urged as means of cutting down
expenses.
Various lots of cattle were shown
at the Union Experiment station to
prove the value of silage feeding. Ac-
curate records showed that hay alone
used as feed, cost 35 cents day, and
that the cost per pound of gain was
81 cents. Chopped alfalfa hay gave
an aveage increased gain of 23 per
cent over long hay.
Hay and Silage Best.
Hay and silage, it was demonstrat-
ed, are best for feed, The cost is 36
1-2 cents a day, with the cost of in
creased weight 10 cents pound.
George Dickson, well known Prime
vile stockman, told of the use of
1000 tons Of silage year. He said
that he utilized much waste material
that would otherwise not have been
used. He compared this with two
years ago when he spent $4,000 for
1900 head Of cattle. This year he
bought less than carload of grain
and considers the cattle are In better
shape than when fattened by the old
method.
Wallowa county stockmen an
nounced at the convention that they
will build 200 silos and will use sun
flowers for silag6. They confirm the
statement that steers can be fattened
on hay and silage at about one-half
the cost of hay alone and less than
half the cost of hay and grain.
The suggestions as to feeding and
cutting down herds were offered as a
means Of combating future low
prices for cattle. The market at pre-
sent is poor because there is no export
to other countries and because last
summers drought caused the flutter-
ing of the market early in the season
A third factor which caused low
prices was the fact that the govern
ment placed army supplies on the
market.
