TRAPPERS ARE SOUGHT
TO ELIMINATE COYOTES

The elimination of the coyote in
northern California and southern
Oregon thru the employment of gov
ernment trappers is now being in
vestigated by F. e, Garlough of the
United States biological survey. To
keep the California border counties
free from the pests, once they are
eliminated, the Northern California
Counties Association will ask south
ern Oregon counties to adopt a sim
liar plan.
The plan is that the county put up
$4,000 and the government a like
amount. With this fund four trap
pers will be put on, two maintained
by the county and two by the govern
ment. The men will report to and
work under the direction OF r, H.
Sans, biological assistant in charge
of the coyote work. He will report
to the county board of supervisors
each month the number of coyotes
and other predatory animals caught
and expenditures of men employed
The skins are to be sent to him prop
erly labelled and from time to time
