This period has been set aside by
sponsors and fanciers of Jersey cat
tie as time for each of us to lend
a helping hand, drop a pleasing word

produced on national official tests
now completed and made a par. of
National Dairy History.
Her primative home on the Isle Of
Jersey in the English Channel, has
with its mild climate, similar to that
OF Oregon, produced a breed of dairy
cattle neat in form and gentle in ap-
pearance, highly susceptible to kind
treatment and good care and an anil
NAL acknowledged to be ;the queen
OF the dairy breeds for production Of
milk rich in fat, produced in any eli
mate at minimum of cost. In all
great tests for economy of production
she has led the flock.
The Lincoln County Jersey Cattle
Club is anxious to assist you in any
Jersey way and especially in securing
more pure bred sires.
The club also has an excellent win
dow display in the drug store window

Drastic FIGHT to
Be Made Against
Coyote and Bear
Goat and Sheep Men Start Big
Counter Attack but Will Need
Reinforcements From Other
Interests.
Number of Sheep and Goats Due
to Depredations of Various
Preying Animals Of County.

. But few people realize the serious
crisis now facing the small stock in
dustry of Lincoln County. The de-
predations of animals, including the
coyote, bear and cougar, together with
last years hard winter, have placed
the growers in precarious conditions,
almost putting some of them out OF
business. Others have sod or are
offering their f.ocks for sale. Bands
of 300 or more have been reduced two
thirds in spite Of the increase during
the last two years. Only very few
kids were raised this year The situa-
tion Is serious and something must be
done and done quickly IL this highly
important industry is to be saved to
the country. There are hundreds of
thousands Of acres Of idle hill and
brush land which offers excellent
range for goats and sheep, but to make
it available the increase in the ravages
OF coyotes and bears particularly must
be checked.
AS previously advertised a meetlle
OF the sheep and goat growers was
called at Eddyville last Saturday and
in a big meeting there the growers de-
cided to make one last determined
stand and planned years campaign
against these preying animals. The
Coyote Club was reorganized, Wheeler
Cline being named President and Earl
Weltin of Eddyville, 5ecretary. The
following Board Of Directors was nam
ed: Nashville, Rod Nash; Harlan, B.
F. Grant; Chitwood, w. Trapp; Logs
den, w. ]. Southwell; Salado, C. B.
Arthur; Philomath, A. ]. Brooks !;
Chitwood, l. ]. Pepin; Pioneer, Gus
Jacobson; Burnt Woods, c. A. Ros.
coe; Eddyville, Frank Wil.oughby;
dn the Club was set at s1.00 per year
and the organization committee es
pecially urges everybody Interested to
send in their one dollar membership;
this providing fund to carry on the
expense Of the campaign.
On July 1st, Stanly Jewett, OF Pred
atory Animal Department, OF the U. S
Department Of Agriculture, will come
into the County and assist the growers
in carefully organized campaign
aimed particularly at the coyote.
In the meantime, the Club is plann-
ing number Of big cooperative units
in the districts wherein the bear and
coyotes are doing the most damage at
present. The first of these hunts will
be held between Eddyville and Chit
wood In the Wilson Mountain terri
tory this coming Sunday. Any parties
interested in cooperating in this hunt
should get in touch with Card Ed
wards, Nashville; l. J. Pepin, Chit
wood, and Wheeler Cline, Eddyvi.le.

VISITOR IN TOLEDO

G. H. Horsfall of Nor.ons, Demo.
cratic candidate for sheriff, was a To-
ledo business visitor Wednesday. Mr..
Notrons called at the Leader office
while here and, while we do not agree
with him in politics, we must admit
that he has the appearance of being
a man that would serve the public
in an excellent manner and there 10
but little doubt in our minds that he
has the ability to be a sheriff that
would strike fear to the hearts Of
those that some times step from the
straight and narrow. Mr.. Horsfall
stated that he had no fight with any
one but would seek the office of sher-
If on platform pledged to bring the
criminal and "moonshiner" to Justice.

HOME STRAWBERRIES
APPEAR ON MARKET

We had our firsrt taste of Toledo
grown strawberries last Saturday
when Mr.. Miller, living in Run Bottom
was thoughtful enough to present us
with his firstpicked of the season. To
say that the berries were fine is
putting 1t mild--they were simply
delicious and We are exceedingly
grateful to Mr.. Miller.
Local grown berries can now be
had, although the price is a little
steep, nevertheless, they are worth
the money, considering the price of
shipped in berries and the great diff
ference in flavor.

accepted by Captain c. C. Augur, and
abandoned as an army post in 1865.
Settlers Of the vicinity in those days
were present at the ceremonies on

The ceremonies were under the dir

history at the Oregon Agricultural
college, who has explored the region
and uncovered the fast disappearing
records OF the fort which federal war
