HUNGRY COYOTES STEAL FROM
RANCHERS on WESTERN SLOPE

Numbers OF hungry coyotes are be-
sieging the ranchers and killing calves
and other stock whenever the chance
offers. The deep SHOWS have driven
them into the valleys, and largely
killed off rabbits and other food. Last
week a coyote was killed at midday
at r. W, Gray's barn door. Along low
er Ohio creek. the animals are more
scarce as Anderson Bros. and their
pack OF hounds have killed forty or
more during the winter. Sunday last
Geo. Anderson put the hounds after a

to bring down. 1t 10 estimated the coy

GAVE ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
ON REPUBLIC OF MEXICO

One Of themost pleading Of the re-
cent club gatherings In this city was
the Reciprocity Day" celebration Of
the Friends in Council at nks hall ON
Friday afternoon, . feature Of which
was the illustrated lecture Of Mrs. T.
n. Harding on the Republic Of Mex
ico" The lecture was predicated upon
the personal observations Of Mrs.
Harding during an extensive tour Of
the country a few months ago and re-
vealed a thorough knowledge OF its
history from the days Of its conquest
under Cortez to the present
Mexico. more than any other coun-
try in the western hemisphere. Is the

effects OF modern civilization. 1t has

OF the new world and many OF the
customs OF the people there have not
changed for centuries. indeed. are al
most Identical with those that pre-
vailed In Spain at the time OF the
Moorish occupation.
Mrs. Harding's lecture dealt with all
phases OF Mexican life and gave all
who heard 1t an excellent idea OF the
social. Industrial and material condi-
tlons that prevail In that great stretch
Of country which extends from the Rio
Grande southwark to the TERRA Cali
entes. In giving the Friends In Coun-
ell and their guests the benefit OF her
observations In Mexico Mrs. Harding
performed for them . real service and
presented them with an Intellectual
treat. The pictures were shown by
means OF theh ign school stereopucon.
which was operated by Prpf. Thomp-
son and Prof. Hall Of the high school
faculty.
Music for the occasion was rend-
cred by the high school orchestra. The
high school students we're invited to
attend the lecture and classes were
dismissed an hour earlier than usual
on that account. Chocolate and waf-
ers were served for refreshments. The
hall was crowded with guests.

OLD CHIEF AND

and devotion to what he considered
the interests OF his people than any

Charles D. Jordon, for many years an
Indian trader among the Sioux. after
long and, intimate acquaintance with
Spotted Tail. wrote the following:
Spotted Tail was an exceptional

"He had a habit of propounding wise
questions and advancing arguments
that often puzzled them to answer to
his and their satisfaction. Just before
Spotted Tail died the eldest son and
successor of Red Cloud visited the
agency and together we went to see
the dying man. He told me his people
had expressed the intention of killing
his horses after he died. doing this In

COST OF LIVING

Predictions OF cheaper living, based
upon ample crops, must be taken with
some caution. We are not confronted
by the problem of 81 wheat, which Mr.
Patten probably did not expect when he
was predicting last spring. His predic-
ton served his purpose admirably. In
stead OF shipping wheat into Chicago and
breaking the May market-the sort OF
thing that has broken nearly every prede-
cessor of Mr.. Pstten in "buIl' operations
the farmers held on to their wheat and
waited for that 81 quotation. The bar.
vest began less than a month after the
May option closed, and we now have
every assurance that the wheat crop will
exceed 70O000,OOO bushels, and may
reach 735, 00O, 900 bushels. Wheat is cell
ing in Chicago for less than dollar.
Food ought to be and probably will be
cheaper than it has been lately. But
cotton and wool are high and textile
prices show no disposition to recede.
Most Of the prices are rising. Structural
steel 10 not a commodity that the average
citizen purchases, but he is affected by
it's prices; and all steel prices are up.
Hides are on the free list, but the shoe
stores and factories are stocked up with
goods purchased before the repeal Of the
hide duty and prices are not yet coming
down. The most important item Of ex.
pense is rent, and with the growth Of
population that tends upward, but the
extensive building operations all over the
country may keep abreast Of the demand.

I'm view Of the amount Of plant food
