PREDATORY, animals
Many Beasts Of Prey Killed BY
Foresters.
Government Forest Service F'ourss
Show That Rangers Bag This Year
Contains Many Bears, Mountain
Lions, Lynx, Wild Cats, Wolves

Washington.-Duri the past fiscal
year 1886 predatory animals were
killed by federal officers on the ma.
tional forests, according to an actual
count of carcasses An indeterminate
number Of animals, whose bodies were
not found, are presumed to have died
from poison.
The rangers bag OF beast OF prey
this year, as shown by forest service
figures, was made up Of 2o6 bears. s.
54l coyotes. 13S mountain lions. 62
lynx, $50 wild cats, GA wolves and ~
wolf pups. The figures indicate that
the national forests are becoming
cleared of wild animals that prey upon
domestic live stock and game. for the
forest ranger fills in odd moments be-
tween other jobs by thinning out 'un
desirable citizens" Of the animal
world.
Wolves are said to cause greater
losses to western stockmen than any
other of the predatory animals. 1t Is
estimated that family of wolves Will
destroy about $4,000 worth OF stock
per annum, and that one able-bodied
individual costs the grazing industry
$500 a season.
The wolves are of two classes-the
smaller prairie wolves or coyotes. and
the larger gray, black, or timber
wolves, called "lobos." These latter
are the great stock destroyers against
which the campaign OF the rangers
has been waged.
The emthods of hunting wolves In
the west vary. On the plains wolves
are sometimes hunted with dogs and
horses, but this way is considered ex
pensive and often dangerous. This
sport is described by Roosevelt In his
earlier hunting books. On national
forests the rangers either set out POI
son or baited steel traps. or. by watch
ing trails and hiding near a VOLTS
den, are able to shoot one or both OF
the old wolves when they return from
foraging. In no other way, according
to the forest service, can the number
of wolves be kept down SO well as by
finding their dens and destroying the
young
The skins of the predatory animals
killed by the rangers are either kept
as souvenirs or sold for price or for
bounty. Wolf skins in the west are
said to bring from four to six dollars
for robes and rugs; a mountain lion
skin, $40 to $40, and bear skin. any
where from $40 to $780, according to
size ard species. In addition to this,
there are bounties on bear, lions and
wolves in most of the western stock
states. Wyoming, in ten years. has
paid out, it is said, over $4,000 IN
bounties on wolves alone, and $4,000
more on coyotes and mountain liens
Through his activity against these
pests, the forest ranger, it is said, has
saved the stockmen many thousands OF
dollars during the year. while the
protection to game animals. such as
deer, elk and antelope. is Of almost
equal importance.

Oceans Grow SaItIer.

The rivers rushing down to the sea
carry an immense amou4:t Of solid
matter, great percentage of which
Ia salt. This may be in such small
amounts that it is imperceptible in
the river. The waters Of the seas are
evaporated by the sun, but none OF
the salt Is taken up into the clouds.
So the water that returns to the earth
in rain contains no salt: but by the
time it reaches the sea again, after
soaking through the soil and flowing
down the rivers. It has another load.
Consequently the oceans are receiving
salt all the time and never giving up
any Of It

casting plaster, stucco, cement plas-
ter, flooring plaster, and hard-tinish
plaster. Refined grades of plaster are
