HUNT FOR COUGAR
 PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Staying of Beast Winds Up Career of Livestock Slaughter in
 Washington.

Montesano, Wash.-A six-year-hunt for a cougar ended here when the ani- mal was treed and killed. The slay- ing of this mountain cat ended beast with notorious reputation for de- stroying hogs, sheep, calves and, ill one or two instances, cattle.
 Ranchers along North river have long attempted to end the career of this killer, who two or three times each week would invade farming center and main and destroy live stock for the sake of slaughter. A number of years ago, in the dead of winter, a cougar killed thirty sheep and three calves on one farm in single night, eating but little of one sheep. From tracks left in the soft snow it was seen that each foot of the animal possessed but three instead of four toes.
 Every winter since this same cougar with the three-toed feet h:s been ac- counted for in some locality up OF

ENCOURAGED OVER
 NAVAL DISCUSSION
American Delegates Hopeful for Adop' ton Of Hughes Pr0p0sal-Japs
 Seek Concessions.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The confer ence committee of the five prlhclpai powers on limitation of armaments will meet tomorrow to resume conSld- eration of the Hughes proposal for 2 10-vear naval holiday and fix a reduction of the United States, Great Britain and Japan.
 Despite criticisms of the American plan and frequent disquieting reports tending to stir up pessimism concern ing it. the American delegates tonight were encouraged over progress in 1n- formal negotiation between the in terested powers since the conference accepted the proposal in principle and as a basis for discussion.
 Assurance were given that Great Britain will join with the United States to maintain the underlying principle of the limitation plan, the ratio of capital ships, with Japan urging with all the integrity that her diplomatic representatives can command that her ratio be increased from 60 per cent to 70 or 75
 Seeks to Save Dreadnaught.
 Japans insistence. brought down to final analysis by naval experts, is said to be actuated wholly by desire to save the dreadnaught Mutsu which she insists has been mistakenly in- cluded in the list of new ships to be scrapped. The Japanese declare she was launched before November II. If that is all Japan wants when the cards are all on the table, she may get it but if she does, the ratio would be balanced again by permitting the United States to retain the Colorado and Great Britain to lay down a ship of the Hood type. Great Brit ain does not want to do this and the United States does not want to re- tain the Colorado To grant this concession, British and American leaders agree, would violate the un- deriving principle of putting an end to competitive naval building. If, it can be proved, however, that there has been @ serious mistake in the calculations relating to the status of the Mutsu. an arrangement might be worked ou to save the Mutsu for Japan and scrapping some of Ger other existing tonnage without dis turbing the 5-5-3 scale
 Japan has nC5 made an official dmand win relations to the limita- tion program. She may do' so to- morrow, but in anticipation of her official action the conference com mittee of technical experts, headed by Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.. has been busy and will make report of prog ress to the Armament Committee to- morrow.
