OF the loss in calves, chickens. colts
and pigs eaten or rather killed, by
the wild animals. Coyotes and
wolves are much thicker today than
they ever were when Oregon was
practically a wilderness. With so
much to eat that can be killed so
easily the wolves. and especially
the coyotes. breed fast and live
long. When oregon had a s. bounty
on coyotes It cost the state $780,.
900 a year. that Is. about 100000
scalps were brought In during the
two years the bounty was offered.
THE effect was at once seer on
the range. Our losses dropped of
TO a mere fraction of what they had
been or are today. But Portland and
Multnomah county objected to pay
ing bounty, so IL vas taken on and
the wolves turned loose on the iiocks
again because the city and county
had votes. and did not see the i'm
! mediate effect of the bounty. The
result is that while Oregon saves
500. 900 a year on bounties 1t loses
81, 900 900 on sheep alone. And OF
this loss Portland and Multnomah
county pay the bulk. for we sheep
men have to raise the price OF nut
ton to cover the loss or quit bust
ness.
The loss by wild animals today
in sheep alone is ~ per cent OF th'
invested capital every year. | figured
up what the wild animals have cos

and It adds up. without counting In

In a meditative manner Dallas
News asks: Why is II that Mon.
days paper is so largely a record
OF crime, Is n question which ought
TO AFFORD pleasant exercise for minds
that have a bent toward socioloslc
matters. Whether IL may be called an
important problem will depend on
the answer. As 10 the fact Itself,
there can be no doubt in the minds
OF those who read the newspapers
in that leisurely way that permits
reflection. About every other headline
in Mondays paper usually tells OF
bloodletting. OF course sunday, OF
which Mondays paper is the record,
is not very productive Of news, and
that circumstance may persuade the
publishers 10 print some criminal
items which on other days would
De thought too trivial for recogni
tion But this lowering OF the stand.
ard OF news values will not account
for all the increase in the number
OF these items. Crimsoned crimes
themselves are more numerous on
Sunday than on any other day, as a
rule, and while Mondays paper may
slightly ~exaggerate, II does not dis
tort the facts.
