COYOTES DEVASTATING KACH-

Mountain sheep that formerly roamed in flocks of scores about Bradley ridge back. of the head of kachemak bay, are no longer to be seen, while bleaching bones and torn hides, giving mute evidence of slaughter by the cowardly, pre- datory coyote, are scattered ahou. where the fleet footed game could have been counted up to 500.
 This is the story told to the Gate way, Seward, by Tony Martin, who as Alaska big game guide knows the lower inlet and Kachemak. bay re- gions like the stay-at-homes knows his back yard. Several hunting parties visited .the district that al ways. yielded sheep. but this year no sheep are to be found. It is a coun- try of moose as well,s but. very few calves are to be, seen, another sign that the coyotes have been busy.
 The maurading. beasts howl and sneak. about singly and in bands, and in the view of MT. Martin un- less drastic steps are taken to ex- terminate them. within five or six years it will be. too late to begin He has advised a, raise in the boun- ty that will make it worth while for hunters to devote their time to kill ing them off, but as yet has obtain ed no satisfactory results.

initiate the birth rate. In one provincial town
he ordered all the women, young and old, TO
assemble In the public square before the church.

only maidens. The royal guards were then
commanded to advance and seize each for
himself, the handiest woman, regardless of the
number Of obligations he might already have

But for Christophe, prosperity and fecundity
we're not enough. He wanted security, too, and
race consciousness. His people had no ira

Dear Mr.. Hays-I am just in re-
ceipt of your kind letter of Septem-
Der 26 with reference to my inquiry
concerning the Butterfield Over
land mail route.
MY interest in this is that I
have in preparation a manuscript
dealing with the Overland mail
route including a map of the route
from Missouri to California. /
have devoted the past eight years
to this work and in research in
California on several occasions. I
have visited your office on two OF
these and I recall your kind inter-
est and help at these times.
I was desirous of obtaining the
distance from your office or the
center of your city west along
Highway No. 80, to the road side
marker designating the spot as the
crossing of the old Butterfield
Overland mail road. Or the dis
tance from Seeley to the marker.
I measured this distance very accu-
rately but in some manner the
notes at this time have become mis-
laid and I am unable to locate
them. If you have this distance
on any Of your local maps, will you
be kind enough to furnish me with
it?
1t was through the kindness OF
your office that I was directed to
Silsbee which is located approx
mately near the old stage station
site called Indian Wells
will appreciate greatly your as
sistance in this matter.
Yours very truly,
r. P. CONKLING.
P. S.-Please accept my thanks
for the historical reference matter
enclosed in your letter.
