former resident of Elko, is serving
a term in the Washoe county jail

Oregon Bounty Repeal Lott

Oregon Bounty Repeal Lott
There is little hope left that
Senate bill No. 46, introduced by
Senator Charles w. Ellis and Rep
resentative James A: Lackey, will
be passed as it was introduced,
which would repeal the entire
bounty law and would save Malheur
county thousands Of dollars each
year. But it is expected that the
committee will recommend some
change in the present law which will
probably take the form of an APP
preparation to employ professional
hunters to exterminate the coyote.
The Oregon Wool Growers Asso-
citation is understood to oppose the
repeal of the law unless something
is substituted in its stead, which will
tend to keep the predatory animals
from increasing; with the resulting
damage to the sheep interests. veg
1t is said that the hunters do not
exterminate the coyotes but rather
leave a sufficient number to propa-
gate each year; SO that they will
be able to trap enough to pay them
well each season. In the event that
the state makes an appropriation to
match that of the government with
which to employ professional hunt
ers, it is believed that these men,
who are paid by the month, would
exterminate the coyote and the
sheep loss from these pests would
be lessened to a minimum.-Vale

 CIALlY RUINED

LONDON, Jan. 30.-France is now gland awaits the developments in the drama anxiously but calmly. The eff feet of the breach with France is be- ginning to operate powerfully on the English mind Hitherto the hypnot- ism of the war has obscured the real ities of French policy. Hitherto crit icism of the French has been regard ed as sort of blasphemy.
 The tide of this feeling has turned solidly but without anger. Not since the days of the war has the voice of the press been so unanimous in sup port of the government Today all events since the armistice are being reviewed in the light of this crowning act of spoliation.
 The prevailing opinion in England is that France be allowed to burn her fingers until she Eecovers her sanity. banks. The Carruthers ran short of Germany, but it will also mean the financial ruin of other nations, who had hopes of securing the reparatlons and had already used them in antici- patton. If Germany goes the last frag- ment of the central wave of civiliza- tion in Europe will go, but France will be cured of militaristic ideas and will return to safe and sane policies.
 England fells that until this time comes she can afford to wait.

LONDON, Jan. 30.-France threat ems the life of England even as she threatens that of Germany, in the opinion of Maximilian Harden, fore most publicist of the world. The iso- lation of England from European af- fairs is regarded as of greater impor- tance to the world at large than the move of France into the Ruhr basin. So long as France continues her atti- for a United States of Europe.
 England no longer is European power. She stands in isolation. It is now the continent for itself England looks for friendship across the broad waters of the Atlantic Her influence no longer prevails across the mar rows of the channel.
 France has taken away from Brit ish control. France with her power ful army, submarine fleet, airplanes and bombs of a destructive power un- dreamed seems to all opponents bru- tai military spirit refusing to save the peace of the world.
 Tomorrow France can threaten England's life as we'll as Germany's.
 England told her she ought to dis arm, especially if separations in kind were approved by all the Versailles signatories and a four power pact ar ranged whereby England, France, Germany and Italy would not agree to make war on each other without a plebiscite. Such was the thought of the commercial mind.

 YAVK SOLDIERS

COBLENZ, Jan. 30.-American mill tary headquarters here was overrun in the last three days before the sol diers embarked for America by Ger man women bent on airing their love affairs with American soldiers who have departed or were about to de part from Germany. So great was the jam that the place was turned into a domestic relations court.
 Some of the women wanted Ameri- can soldiers already in the United States returned here to they could marry them; others wanted to go to America to get married; still other wanted to marry American boys but with true German thrift they wanted to be sure they would be taken away on the transport.
 Nearly every man fortunate enough to be in the guard house was besieg- ed with German girls offering to mar " nm II uc WUuIu Ut lClCdSSo. All sorts of complications have arisen, by soldier marriages, some of whom ap- have been shiek to several girls at a. time.
 Headquarters finally issued a bull etin on the subject, lawing down the law. The bulletin explained that the laws of the United States did not per init a woman to acquire American citizenship by marriage and calling attention to the law limiting the quo ta of immigrants; second, that the German quota was full; third, that a. soldiers wife would have to have 8 passport, and fourth, the responsibil' ity for getting his wife to the states would be assumed by the soldier hus- band.
 American soldiers are millionaires- to the German girls. A dollar will buy 30,000 marks and the American soldiers pay would buy wagon load of German money. So many soldiers took German brides that the Major General was forced to issue warn ing to the troops.
