Wild Hortes
the
ply
Wild horses by the thousand are
overrunning the government National
Forests of Nevada und neighboring
states, and the authorities in Washing
ton are besieged with petitions from
stockmen and farmers begging them to
put a stop to the nuisance. A recent
dispatch from Reno conveyed the in
telligence that there are fifteen thous
and of the untaimed beasts upon the
Toiybe, Toquina and Monitor forest re
severes in Lacdor County alone, and
that orders have been reeeiyed by the
forest rangers to begin a systematic
war of extermination upon them. This
This dispatch, although twisted as to
facts, does not exaggerate the number
of horses now supposed to be roaming
at large in the districts mentioned. As
a matter of probable truth there are ' a
good many more than fifteen tnousand
wild horses in Nevada and the neigh
boring states, and every herd is a pest
to the owners of vegitation and domes
tic stock.
The part of the Reno telegram which
is not. true is that relating to the orders
sent from Washington. Neither the
forest rangers nor any other employees
of the governme.nt have been told to
destroy the horses, and unless they do
receive such orders they will confine
their energies to fencing crops Irom
the trespassing animals or rounding
them up when they appear and threat
en damage to the range. Indeed, if
half the stories brought to the capital
are true, all the rangers in Uncle
Sam's service would have little chance
of destroying the big herds that are
roaming over the western states.
Within the last few years they have
increased to such an extent that in
many localities they are clashed as
varmints, wi'h wolves, wildcats and
grizzlies, and every man's rifle is
turned against, them. No fence is
stroDg enough to stop those horses, and
when they appear in force they have
even been known to knock down and
kill cows and calves. After each visi
tation from a herd the ranchman is
likely to mourn the loss of his domes
tic horses, and it requires only a few
days' association with their new com
panions for the best broken animals to
become as wild as their nomadic com
rades.
or

it
A study of the wild horse problem
brings to light many interesting facts
about the animals. The legislature of
Nevada, it seems, passed a law many
years ago specifically allowing hunters
to shoot wild horses and to sell their
hides for what they could get in the
open market. The law opened the way
to a new and uuusual industry, and
many men found the killing of wild
horses very profitable. Besides the
work was exciting and gave the busi
ness the added zest of sport.
As time went on and the business of
killing these outlaws, as the wild
horses were often termed, on the
ranges, assumed greater and greater
proportions, stockmen found that the
professional hunters were in many
eases, abusing their rights and were
killing branded and shod horses. This
put an end to the business, for on com
; plaint of the stockmen the Neyada
Legisirluro promptly repealed the law.
It. is estimated that 10,000 animals
were killed during the time that the
law was in force. This figure gave the
basis for last week's story.
•The report however had good baste of
fact, for the wild horse question has
grown to be as serious in tlm last few
years as it was when the Nevada Leg
islature was forced to enact the old law.
i he United States forest service has
not given orders for the killing of a
to

on
to
single horse because it has no right to
do so.
Tne forest officers of the Ne
vada national forests realizes bow bad
conidtionä are, and will do anything lo
assist the stockmen to put down the
nuisance.
Any one who finally discovers an ef
fective method to settle this problem
will have done a great service for the
stockmen of every state west of the
Missouri river. As an old and experi
enced stockmau, now in the employ of
Uncle Sam, said of this wild horse
problem: "Theoretically it teems a
very simple matter to handle, but prac
tically it is quite the reverse." On the
ranges of many of the national forests
the suporvisors have been at their wits'
ends for several years trying to devise
a method to meet the difficulty. Ap
parently an entirely satisfactory
method can not be found because of
the inadequate estray laws now en
forced in the different states. Under
the circumstances, the following plan
has been recommended to meet the
conditions in the. national forests:
If the presence of the horses is seri
ously damaging the national forest
ranges and public sentiment favors
such action, the supervisor may upon
petition of a majority of the permittees
of a grazing district, allow the horses
to be gathered and disposed of accord
ing to the state or territorial laws. In
such cases the forest service will upon
recommendation from the supervisor,
co-operate in the construction of cor
rals or fences for the purpose of capt
uring the horses,
B'orest officers may driva unpermit,
ted horses from the national forest at
any time, but if the owners of the
horses are known and ownership ac
cknowledged the owner should be al
lowed to adjust the matter by paying
If he refuses to ap
the grazing fee.
ply for a permit, theD a trespass charge
should be brought against him and the
case conducted according to instruc
lions.
Unbranded horses may be handled
according to the state estray laws,
but forest officers can allowed to gather
such horses for the purpose of using
or selling them, nor can they be allowed
to collect any remuneration from any
person for corralling unclaimed horses.
The policy of the forest service will be,
therefore, to co-operate with the stock
men of the slate or territorial author!
ties when they take the initiative in dis
posing of wild horses in the national
forests, but the present laws and regu
lations do not admit of independent
action by the forest service.
The wild horse problem is only one
of the many which stockmen have to
contend with which the government is
trying in one way or another to solve
on the ranges of the national forests.
Predatory animals, such as wolves,
coyotes, mountain lions and wildcats,
ko thousand of dollars' worth of
damage to stock each year in all parts
of the country On some ranges foret
officers have to contend Jwilh rustlers,
who sometimes succeed in stealing the
great part of the stock which the pred
atory animals do not kill. Poisonous
plants are another nuisance which give
the stockmen considerable trouble in
many parts of the country.
Uncle Sam has always shown a dis
position to co-operate with the stock
men In combating these nuisances; in
fact, he is doing better than merely »
meeting the stockmen half way in the fc
work. On many of the national forest ! £
ranges for the last year rangers and
guards haye been assigned to the work
of hunting and trapping, with the sple
aim of killing off the animals that prey
upon stock. The work has met with
marked success, apd hundreds of
wolves and coyotes have succumbed to
the bullets and the poison of the hnnt
ers. Each a r imal killed means a de
cided saving to the sheep industry, for
it is estimated that one wolf averages
about $1,000 damage each year.
Forest officers are co-operating with
the stock associations t.o stop the steal
ing of livestock and run the rustlers
out of'the country. The war on poison
ous plants has been carried on for more
than a year by the forest service, in co
operation with the bureau of plant in
dustry, and while the investigations
have just begun, it is already seen that
their growth can be checked in many
states.
If it is possible to check the wild
horse nuisance so easily as the other
troubles which have bothered the
stock interests, both the stockmen and
forest officers will find the western
ranges rid of anoter seri&us drawback
which helps to retard progress in the
business.

It is estimated that a quarter of a
million people in Naples live from hand
to mouth, and there are hundreds of
children who subsist out of the garbage
boxes, aud whe sleep in churches and
on door-steps. The taxes in Italy to
provide warships aud to keep the na
tion on a war footing with tho other
powers are really stupendous There
is a tax on everything, says The Delin
eator for April, grain in the field, fruit
on the vine, old bottles. Fuel and food
stuffs are very dear only labor is cheap.
For the very poor, meat is a luxury un
heard of and even macaroni is too dear
to be indulged in often. There are any
number of perambulating street kitch
ens, where various kinds of soup, cakes
and fruits are sold in portions, costing
one cent. And yet these people seem
very happy. B inds of musicians are
always playing in the streets; the gui
tar and the mandolin arc to be heard
everywhere.—on the boats, in the
hotels,—aud the stranger is lulled to
sleep by a soft serenade under his bal
cony.
