As need not be stated, the special
reason for the calling OF this session, and
the reason without which 1t would
probably not have been called, was to
secure action looking to the building Of
roads with the proceeds of the bonds
authorized by the constitutional amend
ment adopted in September. To carry
this into effect, the issue of bonds to the
amount of three million dollars has been
authorized, two million Of this to be
expended for roads, and one million for
bridges. OF the million for bridges, one
half Is for the Kittery and Portsmouth
bridge, toward which New Hampshire
contributes like amount.
There Ia available from the national
government, to match the appropriations
of the state, the sum of 81, 400, 900, which
must be expended on trunk line roads.
The so-called "Granville bill" was also
passed and becomes law, though there
was some disposition to refer 1t to the
next legislature. This bill provides q
method of expanding the highway money
of the state on three classes of high
ways: first, state roads, or trunk lines;
second, state aid roads; while other
roads, now called third class roads, are
to receive certain benefits under condi-
lions specified In the bill.

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT RATIFIED.

The first matter of business to receive
final action was the woman suffrage
am endment to the constitution OF the
United States. This was presented Oh
| Tuesday, and the senate voted in favor
of ratification, "a to 5. On Wednesday
the house voted for ratification by the
narrow margin of u to 6S. There was
only brief debate in either body.

One other constitutional amendment
will be submitted to the people as the
result of this session. This is an amend
ment authorizing an income tax. A
lengthy hearing was held on this propo'
sitiOp, which encountered strong opposi-
ton, but the taxation committee re-
ported unanimously In favor Of submits
sion of the amendment.
One of the matters to which Governor

THE COYOTE IS A PEST

If the ranchers and sheep growers
had their wish, there would be no
coyotes in North AmeriAca. The
ranchers and sheep growers think that
the only thing Coyotes wers made for
is to kill cattle and sheep. This is a
wrong impression. The coyote must
have some other calling in life or the
good book missed fire" when it said,
Nothing was made in vain" My
opinion Of it says Mr.. A. 3. Shubuert.

animal scarf. Coyotes ate in strong
demand and bringing the highest
prices ever known. The Coyote is the
only fur-bearer that car be used in
imitation of Fox"
The poorer grades Of coyote are be-
ing used for coat Innings, lap robes,
etc. The skin is large and requires
but little work-it answers the pur-
pose.
Seventy-five per cent Of the best
grades of the collection Of the cayote
of the Northwest are used IN America.
Our manufacturers know better how
to use them and our dyers dye them
better than the Europeans. We make
better and more attractive articles out
of coyote than are produced anywhere.
A soft, silky coyote, dressed and dyed,
and made into an animal scarf can
hardly be distinguished from Fox,
except by an expert, so trappers get
after the coyote and trap as many as
you can as the present high price for
this article will pay you we'll for your
