Some Hope for the Seals.


Washington: The Boring sea meet
ing, in which representatives of Great
Britain, Canada and the United States
have participated, has come to n close,
the seal experts making a unanimous
report concerning the condition of the
seal herds, and the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the respective govern
ments reaching an understanding by
which they hope at later day to eff
feet final adjustment not only of the
Boring sea question but of other pend
ing border controversies. For the
, present, however, no nnaI action was
taken IS to the suspension of pelagic
sealing.
The Canadians urged that other
questions be embraced in any plan of
settlement, and suggested an interna-
tional commission to accomplish this
end. This proposition was ful,E dis
cussed, and an agreement reached that
the Canadian officials would put their
views in writing after returning to
Ottawa and submit them to the author
tiles here. All parties concerned say
that the outlook is favorable to salts
factory adjustment
The unanimous agreement of the eX-
perts brings the governments toge Their
for the first time on all the facts relat-
ing to the seals. This agreement was
reached after painstaking comparison
of notes, which show, in brief, that
not over one-fourth the number Of
seals are now To be found in the Boring
sea that were there a few years ago
and that pelagic sealing would soon
practically extinguish the species in

Speaking as to the method pursued

ing of the mustangs in White River,
recently, Ben Payne sa hat all the
rancl ers or owners of horses were
consulted and given an opportunity
b. reserve any horse or horses which
in the opinion of the owner was val
liable property. The animals were
first rounded up ana then driven in
to a corral made for the purpose; all
worthless stock was then cut and
driven into another mclosurs in
which the shooting OIL killing took
place. Nc horses were destroyed
whose owners were not first notified
and given an opportunity to reserve
all hat would be of service to him.
Neither we're any killed the brand
on which was not known to come
one of those in charge of the killing.
Over sever hundred and fifty were
destroyed, and it is the intention to
repeat this process of Kidding the
range Of valueless horses later in the
year at which time several hundred
more will be destroyed. If the va
rious portions of the County would
follow the example of the White Riv-
er people, room would soon be made
for several thousand head of cattle
which now have to give way to bands
of Wild and useless horses.
