The "Centro Catholico" sends out an
appeal addressed to the Catholic press
and the Catholic faithful of the Unit
&c States. In the main it is a defense
of the friars, probably inspired by a
Manila monk. One paragraph shoots
straight at the target of Yankee logic.
Speaking of the lands of the friars:
lone of the most surious phenomena
noticeable in connection with these es-
tates is that when the government con-
Germs itself with their purchase they
commence to be looked upon as small,

Nevertheless, that is the fact ne

created a forest reserve, embracing
most of the islands of the Alexander
archipelago. lying on the southeast
coast of Alaska. These islands, noun

sixty miles. 1t is a fact that practi-

size growing abundantly from the coast

walton of 1000 or $500 feet. Practically
all of the valuable timber of Alaska Il

HAS BECOME
AN INDUSTRY
y
ON WOLF SKINS.
HIDES COME FROM CANADA
.ChaAeau County Men Are Accused Of
Doing Big Business I'm
porting Scalps.

Up in Choteau county a belief is
prevalent that a considerable bust
ness is being done there by u%nscrupu-
lous parties in the matter of collect
ing illegal bounty on wolves and
coyotes. The charge is made that the
importation of skins of such animals
has assumed the magnitude of an in
dustry with some of the people living
ear the Canadian border and that
Montana is paying bounty on animals
that are killed on King Edwards do
main. It IS also further charged that
not only are skins imported from
Canada, but that many find their way
into Montana from adjoining states,
particularly North Dakota and Idaho.
Recently the governor received a
letter from a man in North Dakota
asking whether the state offered any
reward for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of parties who
were defrauding the state by SNUG
Cling in the skins Of wolves and
coyotes killed beyond it's borders and
collecting bounty on them. Then a
Choteau county man called on the
governor and informed him that he
was positive a number of citizens of
his county were receiving consign-
ments of wolf and coyote skins from
parties in Canada and claiming and
receiving bounty OF them from Mon
tana. By way of explanation he said
the suspected parties had packs of
hounds on their ranches and were en-
gagged in hunting wolves and coyotes
for the bounty there is on them. From
time to time these men received large
boxes from Idaho, North Dakota and
Canadian points, which they claimed
contained supplies, but in the opinion
of the governors informant the boxes
contained skins worth more in Mon
tana than at the points of origin and
that Montana and some of the stock
men paid bounty to the fellows for
animals killed beyond the borders of
the state.
Acting on the information received,
the governor has placed the matter
before w. G. Preuitt, secretary of the
StockgroWers' association, and has
also given him the letters he has re
ceiyed in regard to the subject. The
matter is on of sufficient Importance
to warrant the association to bring
into play all the detective skill at its
command and the prospects are that
some at least of the guilty parties
will be brought to account.
Under the existing law the offense
of smuggling skins into the state for
the purpose of collecting bounty on
them is made only a misdemeanor.
The section covering the matter is
as follows:
