And by the way, the wild ami
NAL bounty figures conspicuous
ly in the report of the travelling
auditor concerning Socorro
county. When considering this
phase of the report it is well to
remember the immense area of
the county;the fact that the Dat
il National Forest, by far the
largest in the state, is wholly
within that county; and that the
mountains Of this forest probably
contain more destructive wild
animals of the larger kinds
than a like area in any other
pare of the state.

husbands joined them and all
had a supper of fried chicken,
sandwiches, ice cream, straw
berries and cake.
There were "a in all, and a
more enjoyable time was never
spent than while eating supper
under the large cottonwood
trees. A number of toasts were
given and several good stories
told.
Altogether the evening was
30 pleasant that time to go home
came all too soon and the gentle
men remarked that they were
glad they belonged to the

We have a curiosity to know
the altitude of the highest peaks
to the west of US, but have no
data at hand. Do any of our
readers know? In the U. S.
Genealogical report the altitude
of the stations is given. and from
this we learn that Estancia is
6, l40, Duran 6,272, Mountainair
6,547, Torrance 6, ,433, and Rae's
ranch on the Bosque mountain
$3.50. We would like to know
the altitude of Bosque and Man.

BY inference the New Mexican
condemns the wild animal boun-
ty.
In some of the counties the
amounts seem somewhat exce5-
sive, but nevertheless if the
money paid out was honestly
earned by the determination of
wild animals, the money was
we'll invested. Each animal up
on which bounty is paid will de-
stroy in a short time live stock
worth many times the amount Of
the bounty.
The sheep men ar e the great
est sufferers from the depreda-
tions of wild animals, but the
sheep industry is one of the most
important in the state, and the
damage is by no means confined
to sheep. The value of horses,
cattle and poultry killed each
year in New Mexico would
amount to a sum surprisingly
large if accurately known.
There is one particular in
which the wild animal bounty
law should be amended. If the
law is strictly complied with.
claimants must be sworn by the
clerk. If man at
Duran, for example. is entitled
to a few dollars bounty, he
should be allowed to make his
oath and proof before justice
of the peace.
We are informed that the diff
ficulty of reaching the county
seat in some of the large coun-
ties is responsible for the prac-
tice of sending pelts by express
and swearing at long range, and
this opens the way to frauds,
Socorro county, for example, is
bigger than some of the states,
and a trip from the western
boundary to the county seat and
return means travelling not less
than $50 miles.
