Extermlnatina Pests.

Uncle Sam employs approximately
800 professional trappers and hunters
to assist western stockmen in exter-
mlnating wild predatory animals from
the range country. These hunters
have killed 70.71S predatory animals
in the last three years, which has re-
suited in a direct saving estimated at
nearly 5h million dollars year to
the stockmen of the Rocky Mountain
section. The total kill consisted OF
GOATS coyotes, S,094 bobcats, 1899
wolves, POI mountain lions and 1877
bears. The pelts Of the animals kill
ed were sold for approximately $780,
900, which, OF course, is of consider
able aid to the government in financ-
ing the work. In addition to animals
killed by trapping and shooting, great
numbers Of coyotes have been killed
by the carefully organized poisoning
campaigns conducted by the biological
survey.

FORD LIBEL SUIT Is
STILL HEARD IN COURT

Edsel B. Ford. 25 years old, presi-
dent OF the largest automobile COM
pany in the world, son Of Henry Ford,
who, having been characterized as
an anarchist by the Chicago Daily
Tribune, is suing for $1,OOO,OO0
damages on a charge of libel, re-
sumed his testimony Friday morn
ing in the libel suit brought by his
father, Henry Ford, against the Chi
cago Daily Tribune. The elder Ford
was in court ready to follow him on
the stand. ~
The examination was by Attorney
Elliott G. Stevenson. The guarantee
of IS a day minimum wage was put
in effect January IL, 1914, the wit
ness testified and the net profits
that year we're approximately $780,
900, 900.
Mr.. Stevenson pursuing his theory
that the wage was something that
the employees amply earned and
should not be called profit sharing"
adduced that in 1916, production
had more than doubled and net prof
its were approximately s6O,OOO,OO0.
This doubling OF profits, Mr.. Steven
son pointed out, resulted in no
change in the incomes of employees
and hence, he said, the term profit
sharing" was a misnomer.
Attorney Alfred Lucking objected
to any further investigation into the
private affairs of the corporation.
On cross examination by Attorney
Alfred Lucking the witness said
there was a surplus of labor in 1914
at the wage scale prevailing, not
withstanding which the S. minimum
was put in effect.
1t was Henry Ford's policy to keep
profits at s25. .OOO,OOO a year, Edsel
Ford said, and to this end 1t was the
custom to cue the price of cars each
year. In 1916, however, 1t was
deemed advisable to build blast fur
naces and expand otherwise. The
price was not cut that year and big
profits resulted and are now being
used as originally contemplated.

COAST TO COAST HIGHWAY
BY WAY OF THE KLAMATH

There is a great movement on
foot to build great highway from
the east striking Satl Lake and
passing thru klamath Falls on its
way to the coast. The Pacific
States Defense League, which now
embraces all states, is actively sup
porting the building Of such high
way for military reasons. The ex-
ecutive secretary has just called on
Captain o. C. Applegate for a map
showing the most feasible route for
an all-year-round road from Klam-
ath Falls to the coast. In transmit
ting the map Captain Applegate ex-
planned that there are several routes
from Klamath Falls to the coast and
by permission of the captain part
of the letter is herewith produced:
That portion Of the route in Cali
fornia follows closely the klamath
river, which, like the Columbia, cuts
the Cascade chain, thus affording
reasonably easy grades and at less
elevation than the other roads across
the Cascade mountains.
Much work is now being done In
improving the klamath River roads
in California, and much more will be
possible, the $40, 900, 900 bond issue
for road improvement having carried.
Officials with whom / corresponded
since We began the investigation OF
this subject state that the klamath
canyon grades will not often sur
pass three percent, and the road
will be finished in improved modern
style.
While the klamath canyon road is
by our local organiza-
tion as the best possible route from
klamath Falls to the coast as an all
the-year-round road, 1t should not
be overlooked that the road from
here across the Cascades thru Crat-
er Lake national park is available
most of the year, and especially dur
ing the tourist season, that 1t is a
good road and one that will be great
ly improved during the current year,
and that by that route, via Medford
and Grants Pass in the Rogue River
valley, a good coast route to Cres-
cent City is available.
Also that the road to Ashland and
Medford, directly across the Cas-
cades from klamath Falls, the oldest
of the trans-mountain routes in
southern Oregon. is on the program
for improvement, and that con-
siderable portion Of 1t is already
under contract to be improved under
state and county auspices
This route is but link connecting
the Lincoln highway in the Rogue
River valley and the route already
to the coast with its ter
minus at Crescent City, California.
Happily, we have reached an era
Of appreciation of the value of good
roads, and l feel that the way is
surely Frightening for our plan Of
three great highways
from the Canadian to the Mexican
line, with connecting lines thru the
passes, like the rungs of a
ladder; system which when COM
pleted will make the coast safe from
nvasion.-Klamath Falls Record.
