SAYS COYOTES ARE
J NOT A MENACE
Chas. Neil Strongly Opposed to
Present Methods of Poison
ing Animals

In a letter to Lester G. Baker, ed
itor of the Kemmerer Gazette, Chas.
M. Neil, of Elk, Wyoming, opposes
poisoning. He says in his letter:
Having read Mr.. S. M. Leek's ar
ticle in your paper of the 22nd in
which you mildly criticise Mr.. Leek.
Mr.. Leek's meaning is o. X. While
he did not make his article plain to
you sheepmen, Mr.. Leek, as / take it,
is against the poisoning of all wild
life. The government poisoner in this
part of the country is more of a nui-
sance than the animals he kills.
Now l have been in the stock bust
ness and farming to a small extent
for several years. l also run two
stores in the State of Wyoming, also
run a fur house in st. Louis, and have
sent in petitions to all our western
senators to stop the wholesale gov
eminent poisoning. The government
p~oisoner not only kills the coyote, but
he kills all meat eating animals and
birds as well. Then what happens?
The ground squirrel, gophers, prairie
dogs and all such rodents take the
crop, the garden and in some places
it costs 1857 for each predatory ami
NAL under the bounty law as it used
to be and it costs $27.10 under govern
ment rule.
1--WE say let the settler, taxpayer,
farmer, kill the coyote. We do not
need to even give him the bounty as
coyote skins brought $3.50 average
for firsts and seconds at the auction
sales February 2, 1925.
"A coyote n year old is worth
$3.50.
"a calf one year old is worth SIS.
"a sheep year old is worth SO.
"We do not say protect the coyote.
w say let Nature and the stockman
and the farmer take ARE of wild life
and stop wholesale poisoning of wild
life. Let the people shoot and trap
such animals as are a nuisance.
= would you rather be shot or poi
soned? We have far too many laws
and government jobs. The laws are
very poorly enforced and the govern
ment jobs poorly handled.
81 myself am SO years old, born and
raised in the West and have yet to
see my first calf or sheep or pig Kill
led by a coyote. In summer they live
on mice, rats, squirrels, prairie dogs,
in winter on dead

cent Wool Is
Now Predicted

Prediction of 45-cent wool by the
first of September was made in Salt
Lake recently by DR.. r. N. Mead,
head of the livestock department of
the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce.
This prediction comes as an interest
ing contrast to the condition prevail
ing three weeks ago, when, to quote
one authority, it was necessary to use
a microscope to find even a wool mar
ket.
From a condition of apathy the
market has taken on keen activity.
Several sales at 38 cents have been
reported from Price, Utah, while in
other parts of the state offers of 1914
cents and 80 cents have been declined,
because of the clip owners, through
financial assistance, find they are able
to hold their clips. Three weeks ago
there were no buyers in the field. To-
day nearly every wool commission
house is active and seeking to induce
clip holders to consign.
The stagnacy of the market during
the slump is illustrated in the attemp-
ted sale at Mountain Home, Idaho.
The sale date came directly on the
heels of the date for the sale of the
big Australian clip, regarded by buy
ers as the key to the market situa-
ton. When the Australian sale was
called off it was reflected in all parts
of the country, and, though six buy
ers were present at the Idaho sale,
not one made an offer.

PITY IN FRI LIFE
RARELY DISPLAYED
Feathered Creatures, When
Hurt, Left to Die Alone.

There IS not much sympathy to be
found in wild nature. If a bird meets
with a mishap it is usually left to get
over 1t without any assistance from its
companions. When a bird is taken Ill
and expects to die you will not find its
mate standing by to console with it,
but the suffering creature will just
stink away to a place of hiding in
which to meet the end, while the bird
which is left will very soon find a new
companion. But l have come across a
few instances where sympathy was
shown. When birds are mated after a
tentive to his newly won wife and will
almost starve himself to offer tit-bits
to her." writes Oliver G. Pike in the
London Mail.
THE beautiful male bullfnch is n
of the best of husbands. A pair of
these birds attempted to nest in my
garden last spring. The first nest came
to an untimely end and a second was
built. When this contained young al
most ready to fly l heard the two par
ents calling out In great distress. /
hurriedly climbed up the steep bank
leading to the nest in a thick hedge,
but l was just o. late, for a stoat
dashed from the nest and disappeared
In the thick underground. Three of
the young had been eaten, while the
fourth was dead outside the nest.
For days afterward the hen bull
finch sat IN twigs in the garden look
ing most disconsolate. and 1t was
rather beautiful to see the. male offer
her choice morsels, which he continu-
ally searched for. 1t seemed as If he
was doing his best to cheer her up, and
1t gave me much pleasure when /
found out that he had succeeded. For
at the end of the week they began a
third nest, and with this they were
successful in rearing a family.
1T is only natural, however, for a
bird to assist its mate during the time
of courtship. 1t is in the winter
months, when each bird has to fight its
own battle in the grim search for food,
that sympathy is rare. l have known
only one instance of this.
in my garden there was a large
Jug hcLllci Win u nat Iools builhs
the winter months the tablelike top
was utilized as a larder for the birds.
Many kinds visited us and 1t was sell
dom that the table was unoccupied.
One morning a new visitor appeared
and she was a cripple This great tit
had one leg missing and she had some
trouble in balancing her body as she
picked up the food.
"The sparrows, for some reason. OBJ
jected to the presence of this injured
bird and drove her off. She made
many attempts to obtain a meal, but
the others prevented her.
The next morning she brought with
her another great tit and again the
sparrows tried to drive her away. In
a flash the second great tit set about
them, fought the whole flock and kept
the board clear while the crippled bird
obtained a good meal. On each sue
ceeding visit this birdland knight &c.
companied her. and such respect did
the sparrows have for his fighting
powers that she afterward obtained
her food in peace"

Money From Workers.

According to information from the

sent is the first result of its national
campaign, which was started after the

ten, unions, Workmen's Circle
branches and other organizations, as
we'll as thru the sale of shares of the
Icor Holding Corporation, which is in
corporated under the laws of New
