COYOTE scouReE N rExAs.
The Beasts Destroy Small Game, Ruin
Farmers, and Menace Children.

West Texas is facing the great coyote
peril, says San Antonio correspondent
Of the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Coyotes are becoming so numerous on
the plains country south Of the noun
famous district Of west Texas as to be-
come dangerous not only to domestic
animals but to human life. Mad
coyotes, which were unknown former
", have become so common In recent
years that already several persons
have died as result Of their bites.
1t has become absolutely necessary for
camping parties in Uvalde county to
surround their tents with wire netting
as a protection against mad coyotes.
Even ranch houses have their galleries
inclosed with wire netting. Parents on
the outskirts of the town of Uvalde are
afraid to send their children to school
without an escort. During the summer
months almost a state Of panic exists
In some counties. A mad coyote Is
perfectly fearless and does not hesitate
to attack any person or animal it en-
counters
This animal feeds upon young game
Of all kinds. 1t kills fawns, eats quail
eggs, kills the wild turkey hen and de
stroys her nest during setting time
In fact, all wild fowls that nest on
the ground are liable to be destroyed
by it. The other wild animals during
the last twenty years have decreased
to such an extent that the enforcement
Of the most rigid game laws is neces
sary for their preservation. Coyotes
are the only animals that have multi
| piled during this same period, and al
present they not only destroy live stock
but have become menace even to hui
man life. 1t is a fact that there are
very few young deer and young tur
keys in west Texas at the present time
when coyotes are most numerous. The
coyotes watch the mother doe secret
her fawns and during her absence de
stroy her young In the same manner
this vicious animal kills young calves
A single ranchman in Maverick county
] last year had 200 calves killed by
coyotes
The situation has become 50 unbear-
able from the coyote peril that the PEG
pie have applied to the legislature for
relief. The matter has taken the shape
Of bill appropriating $4,000 for the
( payment Of bounties for the scalns Of
wolves. The sportsmen especially are
interested in the passage Of the bill
and are urging the destruction of this
great murderer Of young animal life
| The point IS made that it would be
great economic measure for west Tex
as, meaning protection not only fol-
game. but FOR lambs, calves, pigs anc
even human life

FIRST CROSSING
Northwestern Engine Reaches
the Opposite Side Of the
River.
Railroad Planning for Big Ma
chine Shops in East
Pierre.

10 be exact to the hour and minute
the first engine of the Northwestern
road reached the opposite bank Of the
river on the new temporary bridge, at
point on Marons island, at 9:l5 a. m,
Wednesday, December 49, This fact is
of no small historical Importance, as it
marks an era in railroad DEVELOPMENT
in this state, which will continue until
the Northwestern has spanned the
western half of South Dakota, anu con
tinued on to the coast with its trans
continental line.
Wednesday morning the temporary
bridge to Marion's island had been COM
pleGed over the main channel of the
river and an engine was sent across to
test the structure, which stood in good
shape Work is now being pushed in
forwarding construction material to
the island, the grading of the track
across the island is being rushed, the
piling over the slough south of the
island opposite Fort Pierre is about all
being placed, and in few more days
the first wheels of a train will be turn
ing on the bottoms above Fort Pierre.
In a short time also side tracks will be
strung out at the old townsite of Stan
ley and vast amount of construction
material will be unloaded to allow the
work to be pushed on to Rapid City
next spring.
The Northwestern has rather sprung
surprise on the people here by the
semi-ot1icial announcement that it will
put in machine shops, round houses
and all the neceSSaries Of division

Park addition. Condemnation proceed
Jugs have already been started to secure
title to piece of land about two blocks
wide starting west of the Indian school
and running to near where the street
car barns used to stand. The company
is evidently planning to erect on these
lands the largest plant of its kind west
of Winona. This seems to show that
the company has given up placing its
machine shops on its reserves below
the statehouse grounds, which are am
pie for the purpose, and it is supposed
that these lands will be laid out in
town lots and sold, as they would bring
a high price, being close to the business
part of town, and good many times
the value of the lots the company will
have to condemn and pay for OH the
Park addition below East Pierre
This move will have strong effect
on the prices of houses and lots III East

A Lot of Meaning

Big Stone Headlight: 1t is at last
officially announced that the Milwau-
kee will build from Evarts to the coast.
AT first glance The full meaning of
this extension to us, right here inGrant
county, cannot be fully appreciated.
| means that we are to be OH one of
the great national highways that east
erners and westeners. orieutals and
Europeans are to be given a chance to
see the possibilities of the best part of
the hest state in the union. 1t means
the speedy settlement and development
of a territory in South Dakota west of
the Missouri which exceeds in extent
all that rich region east Of the river and
north of line drawn from Bookings
to Pierre. This new territory not only
exceeds the old in area, but il. poten-
tial wealth. in coal, natural gas, and
agricultural possibilities it is probable
that twenty years perhaps ten years
will enable 1t to make very favorable
comparison with any part Of the state.
LII means that within year or SO we
will have opportunities for investment
and for business right at our door
which cannot be excelled anywhere in
the world.
1t means that thelumbering interests
of the state in the Black ii ills are to be
developed to the benefit of the western
settler.
It means cheaper fuel right here in
Grant county.
1t means a western outlet to the
Hills for or farm products.
1t means a further increase in the
value of our farms.
Don't be in a hurry to go to Canada,
Oklahoma or Washington. There will
be something doing right here in Gods
