The ut- nating predatory animals. Williams was directed to spend all of his time in the task of getting one old and cunning wolf, which had been din- ing on beef. and eluding rifle, trap, dogs and poison for years. Ranchmen had despaired of ever catching this old prairie pirate, but word has just been received at the Biologics’ Survey that ‘Williams has been successful in his long hunt. The hide of the Dakota freebooter will probab}y be in Wash- ington before long. _If you think that the ysult of a sin- gle wolf is an inadequate occupation for a government employe, you ‘should be informed that this wolf is estimate to have destroyed $25,000 worth of beef and mutton during his lifetime, ané, that he was piling up the score at the rate of more than a thousand dollar a year. 3 This wolf had developed a cunning which compares favorably with the mental operations of many humans. For example, when he kijled a cow. if was his custom to travel a few miles and then come back, paralleling his first track at a distance of a few rods He then returned to the edge of the thick timber, and waited. When hounds were put on his track. he watched them go by, and retired te safety In one diréction, while they were soing in the other. A Hard Job To find and kill a single wolf in a ‘arge and broken wilderness might seerr a hopeless task, but the government hunters have gotten their methods of work down pretty fine. They know that a wolf, like a man, is a creature of habit. However. widely he may range, he always returns to the same places eventually. Furthermore wolves, are also like men and like most other creatures, in that they cannot do wholly without oth: ers of their kind. Wolves have sign- boards, as have dogs, where, passers- by register their presence for the in- formation of the next comer. By lo- eating these canine registers, the wolf hunter can map the range of a wolf or that of a band of wolves with toler. able accuracy. He usually finds that a wolf travels in a great circle, some- times a hundred and fifty miles in cir- curnference. He never kills twice in suceession in the same vicinity, but the hunter may nevertheless guess about where the next kill will be. Wolves soon learn how to detect pol- son in meat, and express their scorn of such crude methods by scratching dirt over the poisoned bait. Poison will kill out the young and foolish ani- mals in a region when {* is first used there, but the surviyors are wise dnd cannot be taken that way. Traps are a moré reliable method, but the wolves |' SOE ENT AERC TS E GEOLOGISTS OIL EXPERTS Oil Field Maps Blue Prints Explorations _ Reports Wyoming Map & Blue Print Co. P. 0. Box 325.

Even so, the wolf who is old and wise often walks around the trap itself carefully. as tho it were marked with a danger sign. Hunting with hounds and lying in wait with a rifle are the othr chief meth- ods. bd : A Survivor of Early Days The lobo or gray wolf is one of the few figues of the old west that still survives. These Wolves in the early days hung on the flanks of the buf falo herds in great nurgbers, killing off the: old bulls, and. strays and calves. They were so common that buffalo hunters seldom wasted gny of their precious ammunition on them. But when the buffalo herds were gone and the cattle herds, working ‘slowly north from old Mexico, began to cover the great plains, the lobo became the great- est pest of the business, “Excepting his small cousin, the coyote, he has been the hardest of all the predatory beasts to destroy. Time was when. the lordly grizzly used to come far’ down on the plains, and kill the largest bulls with a blow of his paw. The grizzly could fight, but he could neither hide nor run very well. Before the repeat- ing rifle he retired in dwindling num- bers to the farthest recesses of the mountain canyons. He still kills.a few sheep, but scarcely anywhere is-he a factor in the cattle business. But the wolves, after just about 50 years of persecution, are still’ very much « factor. They are greatly reduced in numbers, but nearly every section of open range country still has its little band of wolves. And their appetite for beef is enormous. It costs $1200 a year or more, to support every one of ther. The Biological Survey has therefore de- creed unmerciful war ‘against them, and it is probable they are doom- ed. In some sections, a9 in that where Williams hunted, only a single wolf is left. In such cases the wolf has been known to steal a march on civilization by mating with a dog and raising a Utter of wolf-dogs that are just as bad as wolves, and sometimes worse. The Wise Coyote The little coyote, also a true wolf, has survived the advance of civiliza- tion much better than the lobo.
