FOREST SUPERVIS OR HERE REPORTS
COYOTES RAPIDLY VANISHING .
‘Coyotes which normally winter in
the high snow country are scarce this j
year, according to reports received
by Guerdon Ellis, supervisor of the
Tahoe Nattional Forest. These predators take a large to!l of sheep on
the summer ranges and any scarcity
will be good news to stockmen. Rangers on snow survey trips and other
winter administration of the National Forests normally find plenty
ofcoyote tracks in the snow, Ellis
says. A faw of these predators usuelly migrate to lower country with, the
deer and livestock in the fall but a
surprising number stay in the high
mountains to prey on rabbits and
other small animls throughout the
winter months.
Ellis urges that all stockmen
make special ‘effort to reduce number of predators this year. “If each
stockman will dig out the few old:
rusty traps usually found around
each ranch and ‘put them to use, both
on the winter and summer range he
will accomplish a lot toward reducing his losses,’’ says Ellis. ““Government trappers have been doing a fine!
job in getting rid of predators in recent years, but we need an all out
war on coyotes, bob-cats, and mountain lions, if we expect to meet the
goal in livestock marketing.’’ It is
no longer sufficient that we depend
upon the efforts of governmental
trappers, further, it is the patriotic
duty of every livestock owner to reduce losses in every way possible.
Predator losses on the Tahoe Forest ranges lastseason may have
seemed relatively light to the in+dividual permittee; but reports from
all ranges indicate a loss of 169
head of cattle and 1323 ‘head of
sheep It was pointed out that not all
_. of these losses were due to predators, by L. S. Smith, in charge of grazing on the Tahoe Forest. According
to Smith, better herding and control of livestock will greatly reduce
losses. This means harder work for
herders ‘and stockmen offset by in.
come from meat, wool and leather
which might normally be lost.

of the campaign will be that of war

switehing. horses in mid stream, sae
his: opponents—or opponen:t—cha7ging that he has demonstrated a lack
;of the qualities California.requirer.
iin a chief executive during the tryiug days ahead.
Already to ‘be heard are rumbles
that Olson’s record is proof of. his
inability to achieve the stature of a
leader of all the people of Califor. nia at a time when political differ. enees should be forgotten—that in a
{time of a crisis he is adhering to a
policy of ‘“‘rule or ruin” and that it
; Will ‘be ‘impossible under him _ to
‘reconcile the divergent interests of
. California so that they can unite to
. achieve maximum results in oe
. war efforts.
Olson critics seek to give point tO .
; their argument by citing the legis-.
. latre’s protracted wrangle over the'
. state guard. The delay in working out)
la satisfactory’ guard formula, they}
. declare can be laid squarely at the
. governor's door, and furnishes but
one more instance of his ingrown un-!
willingness to bend his will to the
legislative branch of government,
or to compromise with those who
hold different political convictions
from his own. :
The legislature, administration
eritics assert, has saved the taxpayers of California at least $125,000,000 by blue penciling Olson demands for unnecessary funds, and
they flatly state that the state’s ability to finance vital defense requirements is possible not because but in
spite of the governor. ;

though rumors persist that he is
more interested in seeing Olson defeated than he is in being elected
himself. These same rumors hint that
he may drop out of the fight unless
he can develop greater evidences of
strength in the near future.
