From the number of pitiful looking
mondescript cayuses mOping around
on the barren hillsides, so cadaverous
they can scarcely stand up, it seems to
us humane society could do little
religious work here just at present
The starving animals are not gener-
ally owned by local ranchers, but by
f1oaters and peripatetics who come in
here to winter and turn them out to
rustic Maybe this is none of our bust
ness, but we feel like it is anyway.

enrolled i'll recent weeks at the U. s.
land Office Is Seth ID. Jones Of Deer
Creek. Mr.. Jones filed on full sec
ton of terra firma in the vicinity Of
