Protest against selling coyotes sparks debate in valley
Alfred Penney of Naches cites a government driven coyote slaughter plan as risky for orchardists and rabbit control. He warns killing coyotes may raise rabbit numbers, threatening fruit industry as irrigation expands. He cites Secretary Wilson on pest damage and questions whether coyote losses to stockmen justify widespread killing. A San Francisco dispatch then describes a whale swallowing an entire knot and rotator on the J. M. Weatherwax, with crew efforts to disgorge the entangled gear ending in the leviathan's death.
