KILLED COYOTE THAT
WAS FAST IN TREE.

j.. A. Winkler, jr., foreman at the
Riverside ranch, killed a large coyote
near the ranch a few days ago under
somewhat peculiar circumstances. The
animal had one paw fast in the fork
of a tree not far from the ground. The
foot was SO wedged in that it could not
get it out and had almost gnawed it
off. 1t was nearly frozen when Mr..
Winkler fired a shot at it, ending its
miserable life. Mr.. Winkler is said
the same afternoon to have killed two
ing just as he fired.

country should see the United States
before travelling abroad may lead to
good results in several ways. Its best
promise. however. is along the line Of
advertising the attractions, scenic and
otherwise, of the far west.
People in the east, who find 1t so easy
in these days of swift steamers to cross
the Atlantic, will hardly be induced to
.forego the pleasures of a Europeon
tour by considering their ignorance OF
scenes beyond the Mississippi. But
many of them having their attention
directed TO Rocky mountain and Pa
ciic coast attractions may be persuad-
ed thereby to visit these sections at
some time.
Whether they come before visiting
Europe or at n later date really makes
little difference, provided, as a matter
of fact. they do come to this part of the
country.
The way to make them come is to
convince them that it is worth while.
Let them learn first what there is in
this climate to delight and what in our
mountain scenery to please u, it may
lbe, to fill them with awe and a sense o.
the grandeur of natures work. o
places of historic interest we have bu
few, but men do not go to new coun
tries in search of attractions Of thai
kind. Advertise the climate and the
Iscenery, and thousands will come who
otherwise might not think there was
anything in this part of the world worth
seeing-Denver Republican.

1t is stated by those who were in at
tendance upon the stockmen's meet
ings in the city of Denver that all was
not harmony between Chief Forester
Pinchot and the stockgrowers, as the
Denver papers would have us believe.
On the other hand they maintain that
the woolgrowers and the forester dis
agreed upon nearly every point at issue
and did not reach anything like a con.
elusion at any time. The leasing of
the public range is something that can.
not be figured out in a single day and
the political party hat does not court
humiliation had just as well leave it
alone. Like the race question in the
south, it is one that must be solved by
the men interested and in due course
of time they will doubtless work out
their own salvation. They are doing
pretty well just now at any rate.

of the German training ship Grossen

itivity is apparent at the state depart

Galveston, Tex, Feb. 3.-The Ger
man training ship Grossenherzogin
Elizabeth, which has been in port for
a week, has been seized by United
States customs inspectors on a charge
of landing Struggled goods. 1t is as.
serted that at least 400 of wines

500 bottles of wine had just left the
ship when an inspector seized it.

In every plan for the leasing of the
range it appears to be the purpose to
turn the matter over to the department
of agriculture. Why the department of
agriculture? The public domain has al
ways been controlled by the depart

ments handle the lands better than
one? The Republican would be pleas.

with the department of agriculture ex.

Common Colds Are the Cause of Many
Serious Diseases.
Physicians who have gained a ma

cause of various diseases, claim that
if catching cold could be avoided a long
list of dangerous ailments would nev-
er be heard of. Every n knows that
pneumonia and consumption originate
from a cold, and chronic catarrh, bron-
chitis, and all throat and lung troubles
are aggravated and rendered more Sc
rious by each fresh attack. Do not

To the Editor of The Star:
AS patron of the public schools of Wash
ington for the past twelve years, 1 have
looked on with amazement at the board of
education beating the highways and byways
of every section of the country seeking a
head to our public school system. 1t is one
of the boasts of our country that In time of
war If the general is struck down in battle
we have a colonel to step into his place,
and SO on down the line to the last ANALYSIS
of the private. In other words. there is in
us a quality that can always supply a man
on short notice for any emergency When
Andrew Jackson was reminded of the fact
that a certain position was so highly tech
nical that only one man existed who could
fill 1t he replied that being the case the
Office had best be abolished.
do not doubt that among our teachers
in Washington we have half dozen young
men who, if the responsibility were put
upon them, would at once successfully as
sumo it and discharge the duties satisfac-
torily. If we haven't then the situation Is
pitiable In the extreme.
Surely we have not refrigerated in the
past few years to the point that In all the
public school system here in Washington
we have no one qualified for superintendent.
