LOSSES OF STOCK
IN NEVADA AND
ADJACENT STATES

Within the National Forests of Dis
trict4. embracing Utah, Nevada
Southern Idaho and Southwestern
Wyoming, large majority of all the
livestock raised in this territory is
grazed during the summer season.
During the season of 1915. on the
ranges of these forests, 10000 sheep,
460 cattle and IA horses were killed
by predatory animals. among which
the coyote is the chief offender. Late
vey, in cooperation with the Forest
Service, inaugurated a vigorous cam.
paign of determination against the
coyote and his co-workers, within and
adjacent to the forests. The regular
force Of forest rangers, who are able
to devote little time TO predatory
animal determination, in connection
with their other duties, report total
of 1853 killed during 1915. This mum
Der while not large, means a consider.
able saving to the stockmen grazing
their herds on the forest ranges.
Poisonous plants killed 5000 sheep,
1850 cattle and II horses on he forests
during the past year. Disease has a
toll of 5278 sheep. 655 cattle and SO
horses.
Summarized, the known losses of
livestock on the forests during 1915,
from the three listed causes, amounted
to 5000 sheep, 1870 cattle and 120
horses, having total value of S435,-
600 on an approximate estimate. One
half of the total number of sheep was
reported from the forests of the State
of Utah.

FOR FOREST RANGER
CORRESPONDENTS COURSES

For the purpose OF raising the stand.
ards Of efficiency among its field men.
District OF the Forest Service has,
during the past I'VE years. conducted
an interesting and instructive cores
pondence course for forest rangers.
The course OIL study is pursued an
nually from November l to April l.,
during a period when the forests of
the district are snow-covered 10 an ex-
tent necessarily limiting the amount
OF field work. The rangers spend a
considerable portion OF their time
during this period at their stations,
and are able to devote some time al
most every da yor evening to self
education and improvement along the
lines they must follow in their chosen
occupation.
After consulting the rangers them.
selves the course was revised this
fall, and the schedule OF subjects re-
arranged and grouped in courses each
containing four, closely correlated
subjects, under the following heads ::
Preliminary work; botany, Grazing,
forestry, surveying and forest i'm.
provements, and numbering and utili.
cation. The preliminary course, com,
prising the subjects of business cor.
respondence and report writing, ele.
mentary forestry and surveying, fire
protection and claims laws and rights
Of way, is required to be taken by all
new students enrolled, since il is so
arranged as to form a solid founda,
ton for the more advanced studies
The other courses are elective, either
in whole or subject by subject. Each
ranger, having completed the preliml
nary course, is expected to select for
future study those subjects which are
particularly applicable to his district
or to the forest as a whole, on which
he is employed. The subject of graz
ing, which is of vital importance In
the administration OF the National for
ests of this district. is one OF the most
popular studies with the men.
Courses are so arranged that the
average ranger can readily complete a
full course, or four subjects, in one
winter, and some of the more apt and
studiously inclined men finish one and
a half or two full courses during the
season. No part of this work is com
pulsory.
Ninety men, or approximately hall
the total ranger force of the district
are enrolled this winter, so one man
in the district office at Ogden handles
the work without assistance. The re
suits in higher efficiency which are
sure to be obtained far outweigh the
slight cost of conducting the course.

Annual Banquet
A Grand Success

The annual banquet and get

ing was one of the most success

time. 1t is estimated that the
attendance was around the three
hundred and fifty mark, guests
being present from nearly every
town and township throughout the
county.
While the ladies of town and our
surrounding community were pre-
pairing the bountiful supper, the
Kadoka Orchestra which furnished
the music for the occasion, render
ed many beautiful selections and
from the encores received the mem
bers OF the orchestra can we'll know
that their efforts were appreciated.
Immediately after serving the sup
per the evenings program was com
menced. President j. n. Snyder
of the Commercial Club, in few
well chosen remarks gave us sore
ideas Of the great benefits to be de-
rived by a harmonious co-opera-
tion between the Commercial Club
and the citizens of a community
and introduced our fellow towns
man, c. A. Craven, who delivered
an address of welcome in his usuul
VIGOROUS style. In the talk of
Mr.. Craven, he took his hearers
back to the time of the settlement
in eastern Kansas and western
Nebraska and brought them down
to our own present day. He show
ed how the early settlers In those
communities by their everlasting
persistence in undergoing the pri-
vations which came to every settler
in a new country, are today a
wealthy people and prophesied the
same success to come to the settler
of Western South Dakota.

N. Leedom of the Press was intro
duced and be delivered short talk
on the Commercial Club" and
tried to show what live organiza-
tion of this kind ment TO a COM
munity.
Upon the close of Mr.. Leedom's s
address the members of the Com
mercial Club were pleasantly sur
prised when Mrs. Geo. Decker,
president of the Ladies Park En-
broidery Club, arose and in one of
the most interesting talks of the
evening, upon behalf of her club,
presented President j. H. Snyder
with S25 check, to go into the
Commercial Club court house fund.
The ladies of the Park club en-
ployed a unique way in raising this
amount, they passing a resolution
some time back that each member
was to earn SI.oo in their own
way, and it is unnecessary for us
to say that the gift is appreciated
by every member of the CONNER
cial club.
Besides the music by the orches-
ira throughout the program, the
audience was favored by couple
of songs rendered by six of the
public school girls which was much
appreciated.
After the close -of the program
a smoker and dance were given the
guests and it was in the wee small
hours of the morning when the
crowd dispersed to their homes and
all are of the opinion that the an
nual banquet of the Kadoka Com

every way.
