COYOTE HUNTERS.
Dogs That Are Useful on the west-
 erp Sheep Ranges.

R. k. Sands of the state of Wash ington sends to The Breeders Gazette an interesting description of coyote hounds and their work. In this country and also in eastern Oregon, says Mir. Sands, coyotes are very troublesome, killing sheep, pigs, calves and all kinds of poultry. The coyote Is small wolf. about the size of . medium shepherd dog. They are very cunning and sly and hard to trap.
 l am running a diversified stock farm consisting principally of pure bred stock, and the loss of lamb or a fine pig occasionally by a ''pesEy' coyote is aggravating as well as un. profitable. The coyote is a fast runner as well as good fighter so that it Is difficult to get a dog that can catch and kill him, but l finally succeeded in purchasing a couple of hounds, whose pictures are shown. that seldom ever fail to catch and kill every one that shows up on my farm.

san Francisco News Letter. !

The attitude of the News Letter
toward the military operations now
being conducted by the United States,
has attracted the commentator of many
citizens and aroused the antagonism of
others. Holding as we do that the war
with the Philippine islands might with
honor have been averted and millions in
treasure and thousands of lives of brave
men saved; believing that the fund
amental principles upon which the fabric
of our country stands have been flag.
rantly violated, humanity outraged and
the eternal principles Of Justice, of
freedom and of equal right as set out in
the Declaration OF independence. in our
constitution and in the recent utterances
of the chief executive of the nation and
of congress. have been disregarded and
stutitied-believng these things. from
the first the News. Letter has not failed
with whatever dignity and strength 1t
possesses, to condemn this war of I'M
fortunate and unjust conquest. Other
PROFESSIONALLY the Call. the Bulletin
and the Argonaut. which originally sup.
ported the administrations policy of
expansion. have repented their folly, and
are silent or are sturdily opposing it.
From time to time there have appeared
III NiANSN Npiuuiuo NiSOiOuS uluI-
swerable articles. written by John j.
Valentine, in which the policy of the
administration has been sharply ar
raigned. These articles have 10 no case
exceeded the truth, They have pointed
out with business-like directness the
false pretenses of the government, and
have held up and painted in strong
cOlors the actual situation in the islands !;
have pointed out the fallacy of imperial
policy, and in high and truthful lights
demonstrated that the very principles on
which the union of the states and the
grandeur of the nation rest, have been
brutally and unblushingly violated. The
attention of the postal authorities has
been called 10 one of these articles, and
Postmaster Montague, with a degree of
zeal which does small credit to his good
sense, has proclaimed himself as willing
10 take the responsibility of excluding
the publication from the mails as being
reasonable. No doubt the postmaster
feels that he has precedent in the action
of the government in the case of
Atkinson. But this postmaster forgets
that at all times 1t is the personal
privilege of any man to freely express
his mind by speech or in writing. 1t is
a right guaranteed to the humblest as
well as the proudest citizen. Mr.. Mon
tague misconceives the duties of his posi-
ton. and the News Letter advises him TO
read the Declaration of independence and
the constitution of his country.
The liberty of the press will be main
tanned, but not abused, by the News
Letter; and we have no doubt Mr..
Valentine will continue 10 express his
convictions as suits him best and as is
the privilege of an American.

Didn't Know 1t Was Loaded.

Edv ard Fredette, Il years old boy
of Pttsford, living about mile north of
Proctor, accidentally shot and killed
himself Thursday of last week. The &C.
cident occurred about 5 o'clock in the
evening, death ensuing at , o'clock the
next morning. Young Fredette was
handling his shot gun in front of the
house of Joseph Geno on the Pittsford
road. The gun was resting against q
box with the barrel in range with his
face. He did not think 1t was loaded
and pulled the trigger once, making a
iocose remark to the effect that 81 guess
| will shoot myself" but the remark was
not taken seriously. The gun did not
discharge and this made him rather
more careless. lie pulled the trigger a
second time and the discharge came, the
contents of the barrel striking him in the
side of his face. tearing away his Jaw
bone and infllcting very ugly wound.
Doctors were hastily summoned, but
their services were unavailng. The
young man died of his injuries. The
young man had been employed in the
quarries at Proctor.

All Anxious to End the War.
New York World.

Senator Burrows is anxious to end the
war In the Philippines quickly, on the
ground that ''if it is still in progress
next year and the end is not then in
sight the situation will be to the disad.
vantage of the Republican party"
This Is the partisan view-and its ex-
preston by so conservative a man and
so steadfast a Republican as the senator
from Michigan cannot fail to be disturb
ing to Mr.. Mckinley.
Army officers and the friends of the
volunteers are anxious to end the war
because its PRONUNCIATION means the
death or invaliding of additional thous-
ands of American soldiers.
But there are four months more of the
rainy season and the natives are still
perniciouSlv active In harassing our
troops. Seven were killed and twenty
wounded in last Sundays fight.
The returning volunteers say that five
or ten years of fighting. with an army
of from $4,000 to 100000, constantly re-
inforced, will be required 10 subiugate
the Filipinos, and that neither the people
nor the islands are worth the cost.
How can the war be ended quickly !:
Would it not be wise in the president to
consider this suggestion, without regard
to its author?
eff the administration had given to
the Filipinos the assurance of independ-
ence which was given to the Cubans
there would have been no bloodshed. If
that assurance is given now hostilities
will CEASE

The terse interviews with the return
ing Nebraska volunteers at San Francis
co which the World printed yesterday
gave the first uncensored news from the
Philippines which the country has been
permitted TO read since the famous
round robin" of the correspondents.
The Nebraska regiment has done more
fighting and suffered greater losses than
any other in the Philippines. Its sur
viving members will therefore hardly be
denied the right of free speech on their
return home, even by obsequous de-
tenders of Mr.. McKinley's press CEN
sorship.
The World interviewed neatly one
hundred of the Nebraska soldiers, and
their opinions are in exact accord with
those of the returning volunteers from
Oregon and Washington, obtained in the
same way two weeks ago. They are
practically unanimous in saying:
l. That the natives are mo good
and the Islands not worth lighting for
'they are not worth one battle" as
Corporal Charles White puts 1t.
2. That 1t will take from five to ten
years-some say much longer-to SUBJ
jugate the Filipinos, and an army of from
$4,000 to 100000.
3. That Gen. Otis is an utter failure.
The fact stated by Col milford, CON-
mander of the regiment, crystallzes
these opinions in one concrete fact
Just one man in the entire regiment re-
enlisted
Meanwhile the official statistics admit
loss of 767 dead, 1916 wounded and IS
captured or missing.
And Mr.. Mckinley has cabled to Gen.
Otis, through Alger, that she is perfect
ly satisfied with the work you have ac-
complished, and believes you have done
as well as could have been done under
the circumstances"
So stands the account of Mr.. McKin-
legs war in the East, in the light of the
uncensored truth from the men who
have fought in it as bravely as any
troops in the world ever fought.
