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.
Excellent Health Advice. '
Mrs. M. M. 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. There Is i
more health for the digestive organs !
In a bottle of Electric Bitters than in
any other remedy I know of." Sold j
