| three months his losses amounted to
nearly 800 sheep, valued at $500,
caused by six coyotes, which one of
the government hunters captured dur.
ing July.
In western Colorado, in an area of
about rs miles in diameter which was
poisoned two successive years,
through cooperation between local
stock growers and the bureau, sheep
owners reported formerly loss of
about 25 sheep day throughout the
season, but the destruction of prsta-
tory animals has been so thorough
that at present the losses are nominal,
and sheep are reported to range freely,
sometimes unattended for several days
in succession, without loss.
| In New Mexico, the wolves, which
were estimated to number between
300 and 400 at the time the campaign
began there. have been reduced to less
than 80 individuals, and this number
| is now being steadily decreased by
the persistent campaign against them.
These remaining wolves are mainly ex-
perienced adults, causing annual
losses Of live stock amounting to
about $1,000 each. In southern New
Mexico the stock of wolves is con-
stantly renewed by stragglers from
the mountains Of northern Chihuahua.
In addition to the ravages from the
native predatory animals, live stock in
parts Of Texas, Arizona and other
states suffer from depredations by
dogs which have gone wild and have
taken up the predatory life of wolves.
In some places the dogs join the
wolves, and the half-breed offspring in
crease the packs.
Numerous species Of ground squir-
rels occur in the West, several of them
having wide ranges and existing in
lions on crops and forage are most
serious, according to the biological sur
vey. AS with the prairie dogs. con-
tinuous Investigations are being made
to provide improved methods Of
poisoning and of organization for
their destruction. The poisoned grain
used for operations against ground
| squirrels Oh private lduuS is prepared
under the supervision of field repre-
sentatives of the bureau and furnished
cooperating farmers at cost through
local organizations. In this way 1,349
tons of poisoned grain were prepared
and distributed during the year, and
nearly 10000 farmers took part in the
campaign.
Through the plan inaugurated by
the bureau Of cooperative purchase
of poison supplies the saving in the
squirrel campaign, as well as in the
destruction of other rodents, has been
very great, as illustrated by Idaho,
where it amounted to about $1S,50O
During the year ground squirrels
were poisoned and mostly destroyed
on more than 1,294,OOO acres of public
domain and on more than 13,465, 900
acres of private lands. This resulted
in materially increasing the percent
age of crops harvested in all the states
where work was conducted and in in
creasing the forage output on the pub
] lie domain

Quoted in the great sheep-growing Sec
lions in Arizona, Colorado, Nevada,
New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. This
was followed by a marked decrease
in the number of coyotes in the sec
lions poisoned, with corresponding
decrease in the losses of sheep, pigs,
colts and poultry. Reports have been
| received from stockmen stating that
on many ranges and lambing grounds
the former heavy animal losses have
become negligible or have been entire
ly eliminated
For number of years rabies has
been prevalent among predatory anil
mails in California, Idaho, Nevada, Ore
gon, Washington and Utah. A part of
the money available for predatory ami
NAL control has been appropriated for
the specific purpose of destroying the
wild animals affected with this dis
ease in the states named. Although
the disease still maintains a foothOld
In all of these states, efforts In sup
pressing its carriers have been so sue
cessful that its spread to other states
has been prevented, and the number of
domestic animals and persons bitten
by rabid animals has steadily de-
creased until at present the number II
very small. When an outbreak of the
disease occurs in any district, hunt
ers are Immediately concentrated
there, so that the wild animals carry
ing the rabies are summarily de-
stroyed and the spread of the disease
is promptly stopped.
The serious situation resulting from
the outbreak of rabies before it was
controlled is indicated by the fact that
in the fiscal year 1856. when the
principal outbreak in Nevada occurred,
it was estimated that live stock in that
state valued at about 100000 was
lost through being bitten by rabid
animals. Some ranches lost from 200
to 400 head of cattle.
Up to the present time approximate
~ 1900 persons are known to have
been bitten by rabid animals and
treated for the disease. and at least
At are known to have died from it.
Without federal intervention for the
suppression Of rabies, the ravages
brought about by 1t would have been
vastly increased.
Special efforts are being made by In
spectors of the bureau to destroy indi-
vidual predatory animals which have
become notorious for their stock killing
exploits in various states. Near Du-
bois, Wyo., a mountain lion was killed
in the spring of 1919 which was known
to have destroyed $1,000 worth of live
stock the preceding October and to
have killed a number of cattle during
the winter. This was a much-hunted
and battle-scarred animal which had
been wounded number of times by
private hunters. Another mountain
lion taken in April had killed seven
colts during the spring. In the same
state pair of wolves were killed-the
female by a government hunter and
the male by private hunter-which
had destroyed fore than $500 worth
of stock during the preceding year.

zon, Tex, reported that in less than

ROAD FROM COLORADO
 ID FLAGSTAFF
Will Cut Distance in Two, Pass Pic tured Cliffs and Through Painted
 Desert

That Flagstaff will be the junction po,nt for proposed new road free Durango, Coo to the National cd Trails was learned this week from Francis A. Chisholm, county agricul- tural agent.
 Last month, l.. B. Sylvester of Monte Vista, Colo, who is president of the Spanish Trails association and is also a member of thn National Old Trails association, with party of friends drove from Monte Vista and Durango, Colo, across northern Apa che and Navajo counties to Flagstaff and Grand Canyon.
 On September IA, MT. Sylvester and his party got back to Colorado, after having carefully canvassed the pro- posed road. MT. Sylvesters route Caliente. He announced upon his ar rival home that the route is an easy one and that when it is built, giving access to the Painted Desert and the Picture Cliffs, it will be one of the most popular highways in the west. . The only difficult piece of road: he said, consists of about 16 miles of sand, but everywhere there is plenty of road-building maserial.
 MT. Sylvester says that the pro- posed road will cut the distance from southern Colorado to Flagstaff and the Canyon almost in two. The pres ent route is by way of Albuquerque and between Albuquerque and Flag . staff there is lot of very difficult . road. The new road will be an easy grade all the way. 4 great amount of country rich in mineral deposits /. will be opened up.
 {. This route. said MT. Sylvester, has been claiming the intention of the Spanish Trails and other good roads associations for number of years and it is thought that it will be sur veyed in he near future. The new road will run through the rim of the
 Grand Canyon of the Colorado. he said
 giving at places magnificent views oi
 the river and the surrounding coun
 try The desert and tke Colorado, ht said, as it has been pictured by the
 great Zane Grey, will always hold ar irresistible charm for the American
 people, and he pre6-~ts that the roat will sometime be one of the grea travelled highways of the country.

INITIAL STEP TAKEN IN MULE GREEK
 ROAD PROJECT

'. Supervisors Duncan McNeil and PlckenS Anderson announced this week that the Board had decided to cooperate with Grant county, New Mexico, in making survey and es- innate of the cost of construction, of that part of the Mule Creek link of the interstate highway between the two counties
 It is announced that preliminary work will be started next week and charge of the work under direction of County Engineer Vandercook.
 This marks the initial step in the building of highway to the west ern New Mexico line there to con meet with highway leading to Mog- ollon and Silver City, which from a business standpoint, will prove to be the best investment ever made by the taxpayers of Greenlee county.
 The county commissioners of Grant county are in earnest and enthusias- tiacly in favor of this connecting link through New Mexico and Arizona and have already ordered the survey made on their side of the state line and have appropriated funds for the cons truction of a part of the road from near Jackson to the Mule Creek post office
 MT. B. L. Wise, chairman of the committee of the Southwestern Good Roads Association, was in Clifton this week and stated that the highway On the New Mexico side of the line was now assured.
