DtotoRlrnl urvoy for controlling proilnlorynnl M&ls. From an nrtlclo contrllmtod to tho Timor Hornhl of nurnn and appoar inr. In tho Ihhuo of January .11, 1025, wo gather that It Is tho concenntiB of opinion of prominent IiiihIiicba mon of llurtiB and of pTnctlcally all homo toader of llarnoy County that tho wholoBalo polRonlnK of vnluahlo fur honrlng anlmnlB, coyoto In particu lar, nn hoiiiK carried on by Govern ment ihuntorn employed Jointly ly tho Slato and Tedoral Government, must ceano at onco. Wo nro told 1n tlifn article which Indeed la a raro contribution to modern fiction, that tho fur Industry of Jlurnoy County Ib tho londliiR ono and that It nooflB protection rather than doBtructlou. It nppearw that It Is tho boiler of the prominent buslnoBB men of Hums that thoralBliiB of coyotes In llarnoy County Is a clean cash business and that as n roMilt of tho multlludo of coyotes raised In this county fur buy ers pay out to Individual trapperH obout $100,000 per yoor and tho liuslnoss IntereBtB of llnTony County apparently are not Bolnj; to do any thing that will take away from thorn or their homesteaders this source of Income which, to a poor homestead er, comes as a wlndfnll nt a time of year when the "wolf" Is at tho door. Tho conrlhutor of this article, .mip posed to bo an ntlornoy of Burns who lo employed by tho trnppors to pro tect tholr Industry, states that tho nnnttal loss to sheepmen of one por cent of their flocks Ib not suniclont reason for tholr paying taxes for hir ed trappers. This ntatement Is In keeping with most of the others made In the article and Is a pure mis representation. An a matter of fuel, the one per cent loss on the sheep of Ilnrnoy County from Predatory ani mals per nunum would amount to enough to employ ten times as many trnppors ns nro now employed by tho cooperating agencies In that county. Moreover, tho damage done by n coyote, figuring an average life time, amounts to $50.00 according lo nn estlmato mado by the bureau of bio logical Survey. With our friends In Harney County protecting tho coyote so that thol rhomeMtoadors can trap him and sell his fur for from 14.00 to $8 00 when by so doing the snoop man and the homesteader himself mny bo damagod to tho extout of JfiO.OO, a policy Is established which If perslstod In will not only bankrupt that section but will likewise hold back the ultlmato control of preda tory anlmnls In the stale of Oregon. In addition to tho fact that wo are Interested In tho sheep and wool growing Industry of Harney County, wo nro also concerned lest tho coy otes that are encouraged to breed or propagato In Harney County should forget that they nro the boom of tho Mr. and Mrs. "Champ" to bat- i pion J wok Dempncy And hfa I 'f , lihtclle Tuyl.or, wnapped nn J ii ifter they had promised "to lo, I .nor and " "Goah, we're I '" wy they.

Outside of tho Interest that we feel for the sheep and wool growing Industry of Harney County we are perfectly willing that nil of the coyotes possible bo raised In or der t lint homesteaders, who admitt edly cannot make a go of homentend Ing and who cannot compel stockmen to buy them out at fabulous prices, may faavu some mentis of supporting themselves provided Harney Coun ty officials will agree to keep said coyotes within tho limits of Harney County. To he perfectly frank and to the point, we deem the position taken by so-called leading business men of Hums to be not only positively ab surd and foolish but prepusfurous and very dangerous. Under such a plan tho homesteader himself Is of ten the heaviest loner. Coyotes are no respeclors of persons. Tho home iitoailor'n pig or lamb or turkey pro vides III in with a means of bodily comfort (nlte as union as tho lamb belonging to the iiheepmiiu and the loss Ih greater in proportion. The uggregnte deurease in gross returns from tho snle of farm produce In nny county In Ocrgon through for aging by coyotes Is enough to pay the total state cost of all forty hunters now being employed by the Livestock Sanitary Hoard. The hunter system in effect In the State of Orogou Is not only getting results as Is attested by the objeo tlou being voiced by the trappers through tholr attorney In Harney County, but It Is also the economical nud correct method. Those who criti cise tho Covernment hunter invari ably over-estimate the cost of catch ing coyotoH by these trained men who work through traps and poison. There are very few hunters on the payroll of the Livestock Sanitary Hoard who are not more than self supporting during that period of the year when furs are salable If It costs the Stato something to got tho coyotes nt that time of year when furs are not salable it is worth tho money nud Is a sound Investment so long as (ho cost Is less than tho damago douo by the coyoto caught. It Ih Impossible to etslmato with accuracy tho por head cost of catch ing coyotes by the hunter and poison system because it Is believed that only about one out of throe coyotes destroyed is secured us evidence by the Government hunter. That tho system Is proving satisfactory Ih shown by tho fact that every county In eastern Oregon this year, outsldo of Harney County has mado ample appropriations for matching state funds to coutlnuo It, Whorovor co operation ban boon forthcoming from shoop growing counties that tho work Ih not being conducted In an effective and economical iiiaimor.

At tho Twenty-eighth nnmml convention recently hold in I'ondlutou tho con vention wont on record iih favoring tho continuation of tho work on a largor iicnle mil nsklng tho State' Loglslnturo for nn appropriation of $100,000 to bo oxpouded In coopera tion with the State Livestock Sani tary Hoard and tho Duromi of Wolo glcal Survey, This should bo nuf flclont Indication of tho high regnrd In which tho paid hunter Is hold by tho sheep and wool growing Industry "f Oregon and unless we nro badly I fild In our ustlnuKu of tho temper I f tl litoi and wool growers of Oregon It will be itilte some time yet before tholr Investment or C0, 000,00 Is allowed to bo deteriorated by tho wide spread propagation of predatory animals In order that a , few homesteaders, who nro In debt to prominent business men, may havu a means for winter subsistence, o TO I'ltOIMUATK COVOTKH Harney Coiilny Court HefiiNCM Ap propriation for Hunter Tho Harney County Court has re cently refused to make appropria tions for the continuance of the gov ernment hunters in tho county, ac cording lo the Hums Times-Herald, It Ih said that the fur Industry Is of such Importance In that county (hat the damage to titockuicu by the pro dalory anlmnls molts into Insignifi cance and the action has been taken In recognition of the Importance of the fur Industry In tho county.
