Fearful Mortality in Colorado

Washington, Feb. 4.-The biologic-
al survey of the department Of agri-
culture has destroyed about f00,0eo
prairie dogs In theCochetopa and Pike
national forests Of Colorado and the
Tusayan and Coconino forests 81 An
zona. II is estimated that the amount
lof forage that the rodents feed upon
would be sufficient for about ia.AVe
sheep or about l,S00 head of cattle,
which would be valued at about
$4,000. This work Was dom az a
cost 10 the department OF about $i2,-

lean and English furriers secure bet
ter skins from Siberia FOR v cents
