CY ill BEWAILS LOSS OF FORESTS M 0 111 Cy Warman, the versatile novelist, story writer and railroad man, eon tribute the following timely article on the destruction of forests and wild game, to the September number o Outdoor Life, of Denver. Warman says: The saddest story In the history of the 1'nlted .States, save that of the civil war, Is the story of the west; and the saddest chapter Is one that tells of the wanton waste and utter destruction of the wild life of that delightful land. Trees and animals always fascinated mo, and yet, when I look back upon my barefoot day, it wet-nut to mo that they were regard ed generally as thing to he cut dowh nnd killed. No one, not even (loot-go Washington, seems to have spared the tree. The first animal story to stick and stay In my memory was of a red deer, urprlsed one sunrise In our little stump-faced garden, clearing the slumps and racing away to the woods, .As often as -1 necall my boyhood 1 seem to see myself limping up through life with one suspender and n stone bruise, leoklng for a wild deer. In all probability. If I had found It I would have killed It, though the last of Its race. The fact that my father was able to locate his Mexican ivar land grant !: Illinois In 1850 would seem to In dlcate that the frontier was not far away, but the deer were gone when 1 arrived. And yet, the quick passing of the deer was like a lingering 111 ness compared with the cruel swift ness with which the big game per ished. from the plains. Trnffctly of SoUlcwrot. To mo tho conquest of the west was n tragedy. The civil war postponed It for half a decade, but It had to come. At the close of that carnage we came red-handed from the slaughter at the south and went at the west. There were few preliminaries and no parley. We. simply swam the big water and possessed the plains. The red man, the hereditary lord of the land, stood up and demanded recognition. We smashed him and moved on. The wild things that peopled the prairie smelled blood and bolted, north and south. In the wake of the trail-blazers and road builders came the adventurers and alleged sportsmen, galloping be side the clumsy cattle of the plain carbinlng them and killing them for their tongues, and sometimes merely for pastime. And by the time the pathfinders bad dragged their chain to the sun down sea, the builders had brldgen the continent ftnd the first flag sta tions began to dot he desert of the fur west, In short, when the whltfl man had opened the first Steel trail to the Pacific, htere was not a living thing worth mentioning in rifle rang of the right of way. And this all happened but yester day. General Granville M. Dodge, the chief engineer of the first Pacific railway, may be seen at his office, No. 1 Broadway, most any day. The last spike, connecting the I'nlon and Central Pacific, was driven In May, 1868. Then came other builders setting stakes along the old Santa Fe trail, and yet other build ers building the Northern Pacific, and. by the time these lines were com pleted It was all over with Lo and the buffalo. Somewhere I liave seen two paint ings, one showing a buffalo bull smelling a grade stake, the second the finished line, and by the roadsid great heaps of bleached buffalo bones waiting to be freighted to the refin erles, back In "God's country," as they railed the place from which the kill ers came. I would not belittle the builder or rob him of the fame he has won. He Is, In fact, lny special hero, as all who have read my books will attest, but It Is an everlasting shame that the west could not have been won with out losing the best of It all. I have always believed that the wai had a lot to do with the slaughter of the wild. A large majority of the men engaged in the construction of inc nrst railway to orirtge wnat was then called the Great American des. trt were ex-soldiers, who seemed to take a savage delight In slaying every living thing that crossed their trail. The "dead-shot" city marshal, the border ruffian and the professional bad men were the natural product of the bitter seed sown In that seeth ing hell called the civil war. CT WARMAN, THE Hill TRIBE TERRORIZES 1 STATE That a state comprising 78,000 square miles, and having a popula tion of 200,000, should be virtually at the mercy of a band of marauding In dlans, seems like a troubled dream of frontier life In the '70s, rather than a statement of present-day fact, says a writer In Harper's magazine. Tet such Is the case today In Sonora, the second largest state In the republic of Mexico.- Sonora is suffering from the predatory warfare of a band of Yaqul Indians who do not exceed B. 000 In number. The Industries of the state are de clining, the towns growing smaller, the ranches generally are deserted, and there Is an air of desolation and despair prevalent throughout the re gion between the Cananea, Yaqul riv er and Pacific railroad on the west and south, the Yaqul river on the east, and the boundary line dividing Mexico and the United States on the north. It seems strange to the student of modern progress nt long range that such an apparently absurd condition of affairs can exist; but the fact Is not puzzling to anyone who Is familiar with the conditions of government In Sonora, tho kind of Mexican soldiers who are in service In Sonora, the topography of that portion of the country where the Yaquls make their headquarters, and the methods of warfare employed by these Indians. The Yaquls never ride; they al ways walk. Their powers of endur ance, are marvelous. They can, and frequently do, travel 75 miles a day a 50-mlle jaunt Is simple recrea tion. Kach Yaqul Is a sharpshooter, ami In an attack they fight from am bush, each picking his man, and then the firing Is simultaneous. The country is for the most part covered with brush growing from 10 to 15 feet In height, with occasional openings. The trails or raids are through this brfish, which Is very thick and dense. The Yaquls kec) scouts on the hills overlooking the roads, and by a system of signals the Indians in the brush are Informed of the approach of a party. When the party reaches one of the openings where the Yaquls in hiding have good aim, the deadly fire Is opened. It is in this way that so many sol diers and citizens are killed, and simply to patrol a road, as the gov ernment Is attempting to do now, will not rid the country of these savages.

Davidson, of No. 379 Gifford Ave., San Jose, Cal., says: "The worth of Electric Bitters as a I general family remedy, for headache, j bllllousness and torpor of the liver 1 and bowels Is so pronounced that I j am prompted to say a word In Its fa- i vor, for the benefit of those seeking relief from such afflictions.
