A Scout who does four hours of trail work completes part of his requirement for a conservation merit badge. Scouts staying at Maple Dell from the Provo, Orem and northern Utah County area have worked on the trail. One quarter of a mile of trail has been constructed by over 200 energetic and enthusiastic Scouts. The boys be congratulated on their great start. Seven miles of trail through virgin terrainandForest will stand as a landmark to their efforts. This trail will open up are to the natural wonders of this area for the enjoyment of all. Eventually, an area at both ends of the trail will be provided for parking and the unloading of horses. This will make the trail accessible to horsemen as well as hiking groups. Any Scout Troop, riding group, club, or other people interested in donating their services to this project should contact the Uinta National Forest Supervisor's Office in Provo, and times, dates, and details will be worked out. Keep company with good men, and good men you'll imitate. lbs Ed'rtcr Dear Editor. There was an article in the Jury third Free Press in which a cougar was discovered in a sheep herd, was treed by a dog and kill ed with a .22 Caliber rifle. There are hot many cougars left and I hated to see this one go, but I can understand the killing of this particular animal. What 17 year old would not jump at the chance to bag a mountain lion, probably the ultimate trophy animal a boy could hope to bring down. His prize was a large, supposedly viscious killer and an animal which still has a bounty on its head and apparently is still despised by sheep owners. What is more difficult for me to understand is the attitude still held by sheep owners and by some government agencies which demands the complete eradication of our predatory animals. In the Free Press article, the sheep owner states his desire to see coyotes and cougars eradicated and even attacks the bear as being a menace to the sheep industry. He says that a larger forcft of government trappers is needed to eradicate these pre dators Our country was built bv the exploitation of natural resources The problem is that now there are few resources left that are natural. It is only recently that we have seen the necessity for conservation of these resources; it appears, however, that exploit ation is continuing in the case of predatory wildlife. Our SO' called "overburdened govern m ent trappers" continue to hunt coyotes and cougar by any means possible. They shoot coyotes from airplanes, run mountain lions down with dogs, plant poisoned meat on the public lands, drop poisoned tallow balls from aircraft, and place baited cyanide guns on lands where they are a threat to dogs and people as well as their intended victims. This practice continues despite the fact that without these natural enemies to keep their popula tion in check many smaller an imals have overpopulated and caused damage to parts of their. environment. The numbers of one such ani mal, the porcupine, became so great without their natural pred ators that they were forced to gnaw the bark from pinyon pine trees to survive. This caused the destruction of much of this valuable forest resource. This exploitation of predators continues while sheep owners continue to exploit our already over grazed public lands. That is those lands that have not been made completely unfit for the support of wild or domes tic animals. It is my hope that an boun ties on predators will be re moved and that protection, at least, for the mountain lion will be enforced. Sheep owners should then expect the loss of a few lambs to predators and accept it as part of the cost of using the public lands as range for their sheen. Having spent their lives in the outaoors in me environment of bear, coyote and mountain lion, I am sure many sheep men would feel a loss with the disappearance of these beautiful and most spectacular of animals and would with myself and many others that they should be preserved.
