Programs have been planned in the

that destruction of any timber in

the woods were also resumed. Camps
are being opened near Plummer. at

creeks. The number of men en-
ployed at each varies with the
amount of timber to be handled
Mr. Herrick estimates that in all
camps getting out timber for the
81. Maries mill and for those owned
by him at Harrison and Coeur d.
Alene between $50 and 300 woods
men will be employed.
The Export mill at Harrison in

MAY INCREASE
COYOTE BOUNTY
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE
CONSIDERING SMALL SPEC
IAL LEVY

The present bounty on coyotes and
bobcats is $3.50 each, paid by the
state. The bounty fund is made up
by a deposit of $4,000 by the Fish
and Game department and by
special tax on live stock called the
Predatory Animal Tax. This fund
is only sufficient to pay the $3.50
bounty. 1t was proposed at the last
session of the legislature to increase
! the tax, but the condition Of the
live stock industry was such as to
make this proposal inadvisable. 1t
is apparent that the bounty is too
low to attract hunters and trappers
and the predatory animals are on
the increase. Losses to live stock
and game animals are large.
With a view to stimulating the
destruction of these pests by offer
ing more bounty, Deputy Game
| Warden Walrath appeared before
the county commissioners and asked
that the county levy a very small
special tax of about one-tenth of a
mill which would be sufficient to
raise the bounty to $4.00, $3.50 OF
which would be paid by the county.
The board is favorably inclined to
this plan provided the adjoining
counties will take similar action,
thus obviating the possibility of
pelts secured in neighboring coun-
ties being brought here for the
higher bounty, which would prevail
If other counties made no change.
Mr.. Walrath went to Lewiston
yesterday to put the matter before
the Lewiston Gun club and game
, warden johnson with a view to hav-
ing them interest other counties.
1t is thought that perhaps the
Fish and Game Protective Associa-
tion will be able to add some to the
bounty and all together make 1t
we'll worth while to destroy the
predatory animals which are a men
ace to livestock and game.
| For the period January IL, 1921
to April 10, 1922, 2O3 coyotes, 4S
bobcats and lynx and 9 cougars were
brought to the officials of Clearwat-
er county for bounty.
