CALIFORNIA is NOT SO
COCK SURE OF BOULDER

Peace and calm settled down over
the fourth mid-year meeting of the
western division of the Chamber Of
Commerce at Colorado Springs Tues
day, after a series of conferences this
week during which time proposed res
olutio-s having to do with the devel-
opment Of the Colorado river were
threshed out. During the week the
reported insistence of the California
delegates to the convention that a
resolution endorsing the proposed
Boulder dam construction threatened
to bring an open breach into the con-
vention sessions.
Early Wednesday however, it was
announced by spokesman from the
California delegation that ali plans
for Endorsement of the Boulder canyon
dam project had been abandoned. The
spokesman for the delegation de-
clared when pressed for an answer as
to what course his delegation would
pursue, said:
eve are going to show how peo-
pie with lot of power can put aside
their desires and be fair"
AS a result Of this attitude, it was
declared, the only resolution which
would be presented to the convention,
dealing with the Colorado project,
would be one urging the three states
of the lower basin-Arizona Nevada
and California-to get together and
reach an equitable settlement of their

Rains Greatly
Benefit Ranges

Moderate to heavy rains have fallen
in the last few days and have been
well distributed over the state. Des-
ert pastures have been greatly bene-
fitted and water holes materially aug
had become low Sheep are being
moved by rail to the lower valleys
and recent rains followed by improv-
ed conditions are timely. Snow is
falling in the northern portion of the
district at time of publication and
will tend to extend the area of avail
able pasturage where water tanks had
become low. Temperatures have been
moderate and the week as whole has
been without much discomfort
to stock. The heaviest rainfall of the
week occurred at Constellation and
Yuma and in northwestern New Mex
leo where amounts in excess of two
inches were reported. Good stock
conditions continue at Grand Canyon,
Prescott, Pinedale, Thatcher, White
river, Douglas and at Fort Bayard,
New Mexico. Stock shipments from
the Holbrook section are about COM
pleted
The weather has become so mild IN
the Salt River Valley section that
cotton blooms are still plentiful, par
ticularly northeast Of Mesa. Ship
ments of winter lettuce from the Salt
River Valley have begun but will be
somewhat hindered by the heavy rain
of Tuesday morning. Heavy showers
in the Yuma section caused some
damage to cotton and lettuce. The
rainfall at Yuma, PAP inches was the
heaviest single December rainstorm
of record. Little damage, however,
resulted to the irrigation system or
to roads. The rains Of the week re-
ferred to in this bulletin were the
product of storm from the Pacific
coming inland from southern Califor-
MIA.

Predatory Animals
Rapidly Decreasing

Albuquerque.-Th annual report Of
the chief Of the bureau Of the biolog-
| ical survey has just been received,
states Assistant District Forester
| John Kerr of the forest service.
The report states that predatory
animals, particularly wolves, coyotes,
and mountain lions have been effec-
lively halted in their inroads among
| livestock In the fourteen western
states 202 wolves, 1858 coyotes,
3,149 bobcats, 55 Canada lynxes, 167
mountain lions and 176 stoek-Eilling
bears were killed during the past
year. 1t is estimated by the survey
that this will Of predatory animals
represents a five million dollar saw
ing in livestock and game. In this
work the state game departments and
private stock owners have rendered
effective cooperation.
The large gray or lobo wolves have
been SO far exterminated that their
depredations are almost at an end.
OF the 202 wolves captured eight were
taken in New Mexico and 18 in Ari-
zona. Most of these wolves it is be-
lieved came in from Old Mexico, and
constant patrol is being maintained
in, both states along the international
boundary to capture incoming wolves.
The coyote, although the kill was
large, has slightly extended its range.
It is reported that theh' number has
been increasing in Illinois and have
even invaded western New York. The
coyote, unlike the wolf, has rapidly
adapted itself to settlement conditions
end is thereby much more difficult 70
exterminate. Because of its much
larger range also the fight against
the coyote will have to be waged con-
| tinuously.
Of the 167 mountain lions captured
SO were taken in Arizona and Al in
New Mexico. Special efforts were
made to capture individual lions that
were reported to be killing livestock
and game. In this manner the loss
caused by these animals was very
greatly reduced.
Although bears were, at one time,
looked upon as predatory animals it
is now the general belief of the bio
logical survey and of sportsmen and
stockmen that bears, as class, are
not stock killers. Many states have
passed protective laws and only per-
nit the killing of known predatory
individuals. OF the predatory class
Of bears 176 were killed in the "A
western states.
