MARCH OF THE COYOTE.
washington's Timber Wolf Came
From the Great Plains.


The farmers Of Thurston county are
sustaining considerable losses by the dep
relations Of numerous coyotes. which infest
many portions Of the county. Many sheep
and chickens have been killed Some peo-
pie express doubts as to the animals be-
ing the regular Kansas coyote. but claim
that they are a timber wolf. The old set
tiers are all aware that there were none OF
these animals In Western Washington. and
are rather late arrivals here. We have
few In Mason county. While they are
probably not the Kansas coyote or prairie
wolf. they are the Yakima coyote, which
IL practically the Same thing, and how
they came here 10 this: In the early days
before the railroad was built across the
mountains, many herds OF sheep as well as
cattle and horses, were driven over on the
Matches and Snoqualmie passes to the
Sound country, and some are driven over
at the present time. The coyotes followed
these herds over, and subsisted on the dead
animals which often fell by the ways.de.
In this way the country west OF the noun
tains, and especially that portion lying
east Of Puget sound and west Of the Cas-
cades Is becoming infested with nuis-
ance that was not native here After
coming here they take to the woods as
readily as some Of our Kansas farmers
do In this timbered country, hence the i'm
preston some people have that these ami
mails are timber wolf. Shelton Tribune.
