FARMERS DECLARE
WAR ON THE COYOTE.
Prairie Wolf Killing Sheep and
Turkeys in Big Bottom
Country.

TACOMA. Wash. Jan. 30.-Coyotes are
increasing so fast on the prairies south of
Tacoma and between this city and Olympia
and also in the Big Bottom country, that
farmers are considering means of Kidding
the country Of them.
Sheep ranchers in the vicinity of Stella
COON, and also along the Nisqually River
bottoms and in The neighborhood of Amer
lean Lake, ave practically given up the
industry, saying that the Havages Of coy
otes make business improbable.
Raising of turkeys, which a few yenrs
ago was carried on extensively by many
Of the prairie farmers, nas also been rem
tiered Improbable by raids of coyote pests.
According to old settlers and sportsmen
N Pierce County, the coyotes are an in
novatlon in animal life in the Puget Sound
region. Many Who have lived sufficiently
long IN the county to know assert That
twenty years ago the coyote was unknown
west Of the Cascade Mountains.

MASON AS MENTOR

LITERARY BRANCH.
Cites Life of Roscoe Conkling as One
Which Should Be Emulated by Young
Men-compliments Members.

The literary branch of the Father
Mathew I. A. B. Society, whose quar-
tiers are in Hudson street, opened their
course of lectures last night, and for
their speaker had Under-sheriff Charles
NJ. Mason, who addressed them on
"Entree into the Best Society"
In his preface to his address the
under-sheriff complimented the mem
bers of the r. A. b. Society on their
fine clubhouse, which is we'll equipped
with good literature, and then told Of
an incident in which that famous
one of the greatest orators in the New
York State Legislature. Conkllng's in
%fluence. Mr.. Mason said, became ma
tional, and all because he followed the
dictates of true manhood.
Mr.. Mason said that when General
Grant was mentioned for a third term
for President of the United States it
was Conkling who made the nominal
ton speech, and after doing this he
was approached by some of the leaders,
who told him that Grant would not Sc
cure the necessary votes, and that he
(Conkling) should go in the race. Conk-
ling's reply is a matter of history. He
told his friends that he would rather
be known as being loyal to a friend
than President of the United States.
The speaker recalled the words of
Henry Clay, who, when asked not to
offer a certain resolution in the House
replied by saying, Am I not
right?" He was told that he was, but
that if he insisted on following the die
tates of his conscience it would prevent
him from being President, to which he
replied, 81 would rather be right than
President"
The literary committee consists of 3.
J. Owens, chairman; M. II. Thornton
and Peter Gallon. The Rev. T.
Quirk presided. The Rev. George Cor
rigan, pastor of st. Joseph's Church,
and the Rev. Father Clark were inter-
ested listeners to Mr.. Mason's talk.

MACKIE NOW
HAS CLEAR
TITLE
Elected Major in First Regi-
ment--C Congratulated by
Captain CamiieId.

Captain Arthur Hamilton MacKie,
of Company A, First Regiment, had the
satisfaction last night at the election
for major in the First Battalion, of
winning in a way that could not be
doubted, as was his first election, which
was afterward nullifed. He defeated
two other candidates, Captain William
II. Camneld and Captain orrin e.
Runyon.
Opponents were not barred by n IL
legal CUSTOM" as previously, and Cap
tain MacKie's friends now feel he has
an unclouded title. At the prior elec-
ton the brigadier general ruled that
made, only the one candidate then
elected could be offered at the formal
selected could be offered at the formal
field took issue with this ruling and
carried the matter into court, and as
the general could make no defense the
new election was ordered.
Aftor the result was announced last
night Captain Camfield was one of the
first to congratulate thee victor. He
said ali he wanted was a Square dear'
and that his fight for ~electioa
against Captain MacI<ie personally.
Captain MacKie was placed in nom
nation by Captain Harold Wakefield,
of Company Il. Captain Camheld's
name was offered by Captain Mortimer
C. Mum, of Company c, and Lieu
tenant Herbert c. Van Houten, of Com
pany j, was sponsor for Captain
Runyon.
Captain Runyon had five votes, while
the winner Captain MacNie, secured
% and Captain Garfield, second man,
pot 16 votes. When the result was an
nounced by the tellers Captain Cam
field arose inc offered a resolution to
make the election of Captain MacKie
unanimous. This was done, and the
manly stand of Captain Garfield was
admired by every Officer in the cleo
tinn-room.
The election last night win serve to
destroy q relic of antiquity, in the form
Of a Custom that was against the
law, relating to election of officers. 1t
has been claimed by General Campbell
and other high officials in the First
Regiment for years back hat only one
candidate could appear at the formal
election. The illegaity of this was
made apparent in the court proceed
ings, and elections hereafter viii be
conducted according to law, and
eligible candidates for any Office may
run, if they so desire. without any fear
about the men higher up ruling them
out. Credit for this is given to the
American spirit of Captain Camfeld.
Major-elect MacI<ie will appear be-
fore an examining board. and, after
qualifying, will be granted his %certiii-
ate us major.

the least excusable. 1t serves today as
conspicuous example of how not to run
trains and how not to manage block signal
stations. 1t Is to be hoped that the COM
missions recommendations. based upon 1t
as a fragrant instance of reckless rail-
roading will be needed by Congress and
that some form of law will result which
will at least enable the public in every
such instance to ascertain the facts.
1t is in the last degree preposterohs
that an accident of this character should
pass without any form of judicial retribu-
ton. 1t belongs squarely to the preventa-
BILE class. There was no question OF
broken rails or switches. There was no
dead hand at the throttle The only
untoward circumstance attendant upon IL
was the prevalence of a fog. which may
have obscured the signals. But the fog
should have prompted slowing down of
speed and the maintenance of an extra
degree of careful observation by the train
crew. 1t should have been taken into ac-
count by the dispatchers. Apparently
nothing was taken into account. the fog,
the proverbial slowness of the local or
the absurdity of sending fast dead-head
down the line behind frequently stop
ping passenger train.
What guarantee Is there today that the
evil conditions which caused this accident,
directly or indirectly. or which on other
lines serve as a standing menace of dis
aster. have been permanently cured?
The public is not taken into the confidence
of the railroad management in such mat
ters. All factors which might possibly
tend to render patrons uneasy are care
fully kept out of view. Secrecy is the
traditional rule whenever accidents occur.
The commissioners themselves recognize
and note this fact and recommend that
some measure be adopted to insure
prompt, thorough and non-partisan in
vestigation into every serious railroad
wreck. Only when the inquiry is made by
an official body, which stands ready at a
notice to inspect the scene and
examine the witnesses before the evil
dences of cause and responsibility are de-
stroyed or removed or obscured, will THE
public be assured of complete and ats
factory scrutiny.
