FROM THE FARTHER WEST BOUNTY SYSTEM A FAILURE . , _ Western Stockmen Believe it is All Wrong as Applied to Wolves. f PESTS AS NUMEROUS AS EVER 1A 'Million Dnllnrx Worth ofr T.lvc Slock JCIIIcil IKtory Your li - WoUrn ( ill titoclc Uniiife * V ( Incut Iniu to Conic Ilofori- the CoiiM-Jitlon. , Jan. 4. ( Special. ) It Is evident now from the numUer of responses to Invi tations that have teen received that the na tional llvo stock convention to ho held In this city this month will bo well attended nnd that there will be stockmen from all the utatea o" the transmlsslsslppl region. One question that will bo discussed at great JcnRtli relates to the pest of wolves. "I oeo by the papers that Governor AV. A. Richards of Wyoming has suggested as Im portant BUhjcctn for discussion by the na tional slockgrowcrs' convention the extermi nation of wolves and the feeding of range Block , " eald Ora Hnley of Laramle , who haa ibecn appointed a delegate to the convention by the Wyoming Llvo Stock association , rsvhllo calling at headquarters In this city. "Tho former BUbJect Is one of the greatest Importance to not only Wyoming sheepmen and cattlemen , but to ovcry Htatn vvcHt of the Missouri river , " con tinued Jlr. Haley. "An Increasing ecourgo of the range Is wild animals , wolves , coyotes and mountain lions. The licnls of buffalo and antelope that thet > o carnivorous beasts used to follow and eub- Hlsl upon are gene and they have , through necessity , been compelled lo turn to domesti cated slock and are working much havoc. The calf "ulilch the mother forsakes to occk water Is selrcd upon by the sneaking cojoto and killed. The weakened tow or calf that < lrof" ? behind the herd In winter or summer is ptomptly hamstrung and throttlcJf by the watchful pack of wolves , and when they are particularly hungry they break Into a herd nnd seize anything that cannot escape them. "Notwithstanding stocKmcn have made v.ar on thesu animals , they are unable to jnako progress In their extermination Trom the ranges mid the bounty law seems to ac complish but little good California , Mon tana and Texas offered $5 aplcco for coyote hcalps for Homo time , the outlay aggregating hundreds of thousands of dolltus , but the results wore unlmpoitunt Iowa , nnd Min nesota are the only western states which now pay nioro than $3 per wolf scalp and In Iowa the rate for JOUIIK wolves Is ? 2. COYOTES VERY DKbTKUCTlVE. 'Meanvvhllo In some inrts of the country -wolves nnd cojotes are very destructive. It Is safe to iay tint the loss to Wyoming by thcao animals Is $170000 a year. In New Mexico they Kill from $150,000 to ? 300,000 ( worth of plR-ep annually , and in Nebraska the damage Is reckoned at $10.0,000 a > ear. Ono dimcnlty In the wolf problem lies In the fact tint It Is Impossible to secure the co- uijjratlon of all tlif > states. This lack of ogrecmont upon the subject of boundaries In Kcnoral opens a wide dour to fraud. Scalps t iKen In localities \shero rewards are low are shipped to places where premiums are high , and thus It often happens that a countiy Is compelled to pay for animals that did not belong to It. At the present time the bounty on wolves and coyotes varies from $1,50 to ? 5 , the latter prlco l > 3lng paid In the Ulack Ililla region of South Dakota. In North Dikota and Colorado It Is $2 ; it Is $3 In Montana and Wyoming , uml In Io\va it is $5 , except for > oung animals. Thus revvarJs may bo claimed profitably In Iowa for coyotes killed In North Dakota. "Tho wolf bounty In Nebraska was 50 cents when California was offering $3 for scalps Consequently thousands of ecalps were shipped from Nevada to California and laigo numbers of them were actually Im- porfod from MIce , so that California found herself getting poorer at a distressing rate and the bounty law was repealed. rou HOUNTY. "Ono Interesting effect of the bounty sjs- teni Is to encourage the breeding of anlmnli outlawed. There la no doubt but that this has boon dons with vailoui animals for which bounties are granted. In Iowa few jears ago It was said to bo more profll- nblo to roar cojotes for the bounty than to I also ahoep , and Kcntucl : } nnd Now Mexico recognized the possibility of breeding wolves by icqulrlng afiidavlts showing that the ani mals had not been raised for the sake of ths jcwards. Urltlsh Columbia , by the way pays bounties for vvolvvs , but requires that the skulls shall bo presented to the provin cial museum for scientific Identification. "Thcro will bo a largo delegation of Wy oming men to your convention , and they will insist that some action In the way of recom mendations for unite , ] effort of the western elates bo taken to exterminate these pcjU that every year are destroying $1,000,000 worth of stock.

Max Manning secretary of the United ltates legation at Monrovia , Is now at Savannah , Oa. , on icivo of absence. The News sas : Ho 1 ? an edu cated man and speaks IntelllKcntly , though somewhat guirdcvlly , of things and conditions In Liberia. Naturally , ho was asked as to the condition of the emigrants who left Savannah for Liberia during 1895 nnd 1896 Ho replied that ho liad seen ani heard very little of them , the last party , that which went on the Liuratla , hav In ? arrived some time before he reached there , He understood that they bid chiefly gone Into the Interior He met a few from Arkansas around Monrovia , but none from Geo'gli. The reports which ho re- cfilvetl of these Immigrants -were not the rrost favorable , he said. Ho heard that at Croslcrvllle , a colony established by the Im migrants In the > Interior , tvvo-thlrrla of them had died. "Tho great mortality amonR these people , " eald Hcv. Manning , "Is not duo so inuch to climatic conditions as to the fact that the greater number of them were unprepared to take care of themaelves , and should hive never pone there. I do not consider the cli mate especially unheal'hy. What Liberia needs Is men with money .iid : bralai to de velop Its resources. Chesp labor Is over- plentiful. There are plentv of natives to attend to that , and they will do twice the work for half the money tint the people who go there from this country can afford to work for. I know of no place In the world whcro a man with a little capital and who Is a good trader can make money more rapidly , end there Is none where a man without moany Is llabin to suffer more quickly. Tha gove iiincnl ccsires to en courage Immigration oj the fiMit sort. There Is plenty of fer'P' linJ. Ti.e. Government gives twcnty-l7u acres of land to each head of a family , and ten acres lo a elnglo mail. The class of emigrants who left Savannah In 1S95 and 1896 Is not desired by tha gov ernment. It Is tired of that clasj cf emi grants. " In speaking of the country , Rev. Manning admitted that Liberia had not progrcssol a * rapidly as the friends of the black re public might wish. The civilized negroes run the country , howevr , and the natives cut no moro figure with them than n negro does with the -while man In this country No white man Is allowed to vote In Llberh Only landowners can vote , and ro while lean Is allowed to own land This is a ttrango state of affairs in a country which was presented to Its occupiuts by white people. ' 'They argue , " sold llov. Ma inlng , "that If the white people are allow cj * o own Ian 1 and vote In Liberia the condition of affairs there will soon be pretty much the same as It Is In this country , an I that white men would own and run the country Because of this embargo upon while man , capital hru been kept out of the countij , and 1U de- velopmcnt Is retarded. I tried to argue with the principal men that It would be bettor for them to Induce whlto people to como In and build up thMr colony for their own advantage , If for no other reason , but they could not see It In that way. I cited them to the City of Fie > town In the Brit ish colony of Sierra L yiin ivhere the queen's government control i. but evorjbody has an equal elio.vlng.
