A man who has been travelling over the
| country illustrates how most farmers care

along the road the ether day he noticed

that the campers about the cape are making |
a terrible slaughter of the sea lions, which |
are SO plentiful along the coast in that |

shoot them for the fun of the thing. Resi-
dents think this kind Of sport should be
stopped, as il II is continued it will be but a
short time until the lions will become ex-
tinct. If the campers enjoy hunting they
could find plenty of game In the mountains
near at hand.
