| Beneficent predators introduced the
Chinese pheasant, now referred to
as the pheasant, to the region be-
tween the Great Lakes and the
Rockies. For years they have pros.
pered until they have become the
major game bird in the area. Some
thing happened last year and maybe
nobody can come up with an answer
to what happened to the pheasant
crop. Is.
The weather, disease, predators,
fall-out materials destroying tender
chick tissues, or was it just bad
year as they explain the dips in the
|stock market?
What about the pheasant; did this
chick that died peck at carcass of
a coyote killed by 1880? (1080 is a
poison used to control coyotes and
bobcats, not to be confused with
Form 104O used to control incomes}.
Did the coyote that was poisoned fail
to cut down the skunks which find
eggs and chicks an irresistible diet?
Or did ONE of the little foxes which
increase when the coyotes are gone
get the pheasants before the hunters?
The beneficent predators must
study their own problems more thor
oughly before they find themselves
i'm the predicament of the coyote and
the Aztecs. How many chick-eating
lawyers do we need in ratio to egg
sucking politicians? How many re-
porters are required to balance off
the destroyers in uniforms?
Sparta-Athens? Rome-Moscow?
Gandhi-Castro? The fisher may com
troll the porcupines and most certainly
the paper is needed to get more
thought registered from the supposed
ly beneficent predators.-F.S. 49,.

In trying to drum up a little state
news the press went in to see Gov.
j. Hugo Aronson. Aronson was leav-
ing Thursday to go to- the old home
of his wife, Rose. He will speak in
Davenport, Wash, which is .35 miles
west of Spokane Friday night at
some sort of Republican doings even

He also doesn't know what is to
be done about the post office sub
station in the Capitol. Helena post
master Hugh Potter has already for
varded contract bids to the Portland
headquarters. Whether or not the
state should go out of the postal
