road project that would be built south

spare time in the extermination OF
such predatory wild animals as coy
otes and skunks. In this campaign
they are resortinG to every known
method. including poison, guns and
tropa. though the latter seems to be
the favorite procedure.
And there's a reason for this acttv:
ity, for the price of pelts has advanced
about 50 per cent over last year ana
the pelts themselves are at least that
much better in quality G" fur.
