PITT Of LOvELOCK

During the week the candidacy of
Billy Pitt of Lovelock for governor

governor that he grew to like 1t and

Johnny Miller. Billy is no green hand

for half his life in the ranks and
once or twice stepped up peg into
the legislative halls. He helped
shapen the knife that carved the
county of Pershing from Humboldt,

COYOTE OR GOPHER,
WHICH IS WORSE?

Recently. very recently, in fact, the
biological assistant to the state rabies
commission published his monthly re-
port The public is informed that
twenty-six men worked 600 days and
took 23s predatory animals. Fine and
dandy. as this figures about third of
an animal per day per man. And
think what a lot of damage a third OF
coyote could do to flock of sheep.
The statement further says that dur
ing fhe time of organization, since
October, 1915, that 1880 predatory
animals have been destroyed. Some
record At the same time the state
has ponied up $1,000 per annum for
the animals. and the people have paid
a special tax to rid the wilds of Me-
tread the desert and roam the noun
tain chains. The LraFe hunters have
in that time trapped and killed off
some $150,000 and each dollar has Sc
cured about one-fourth of coyote or
bob-cat Then on top OF that Uncle
Sam matches the sum which reduces
the size OF the wildcat or coyote to
about one-eighth. In other words. II
costs about a much per cat or coyote
as II does to catch trout or kill a
duck and the boys are paid for the
fun.
This is only one side OF the story.
While the boys have been busy killing
the predatory animals the rodents
