DEATH TO GROUND SQUIRRELS.
The Erickson Patent Bomb D cad Shot for the
Farmers Pests.

There was an interesting exhibition
of the efficiency of ground squirrel ex-
terminators at the grounds Of the Idaho
State University last Saturday. The
test was made under the direction of
Prof. Fox, director of the agricultural
experiment station, and was between
the Erickson patent bomb and carbon
bisulphide, which had been highly
recommended by the experiment sta
ton in a bulletine issued last spring.
The Erickson bomb is in the form of a
cartridge, about ree-quarters of an
inch in diamatar and about eight or
ten inches long, the wrapper being
made of a number Of thicknesses Of
paper, not unlike the construction of a
roman candle. 1t is supplied with a
fuse at one end. 1t is easily operated.
Simply ignite the fuse. insert it into
the squirrels burrOw and put clod of
earth over the opening. The fuse ig-
mites the charge, which emits the
poisonous gases in great quantities,
and light explosive in the butt of
the cartridge drive these gases into the
remOteSt receSseS of the burrOw, and
they are certain death to the squirrel
that inhabitS them.
In the test made Saturday a complex
arrangement of iron pipes large enough
to permit the passage of squirrels was
laid upon the ground These were
many joints and angles, and at the
termini Of these various pipes were
placed wooden boxes about a foot
square with glass lids There were
five or six of them and into each live
squirrel was placed. Then the cart
ridge was ignited, placed in the base of
the pipe and the aperture closed. In
less than 30 seconds everyone of the
squirrels was dead. The action was
almost instantaneous. So effective
was the work that it was learned that
even the insects upon the bodies of the
squirrels were killed. A trial of carbon
bisulphide followed, but it did not re-
suit in disturbing the health of the live
squirrels which were put in the boxes,
although in some other cases it is
known to have been effective.
The ground squirrel is a serious pest
to the farmers of the northwest states.
bnt it seems that an invention has been
discovered which, if applied will rid
the country of them, and at very little
cost. The NJ. J. Shields Co., Moscow.
are exclusive manufactures and they
sell them at the low price of $500 per

rections for using will be sent free up

THEY ARE OUR FRIENDS.

Some Of our irrigation canal
friends insist on pretending to be-
lieve and incidentally trying to con-
vince the public that The TRIBUNE
is their vindictive and unrelenting
enemy. Now that is all wrong and
positively absurd. THE TRIBUNE
is the best frien1 the canal people
ever had. 1t seeks to set them
right: it hopes to make them pros
porous and happy and entertains a
christian desire to save their souls
if possible. If it were in our power,
we would not deprive canal owners
of a single penny they are entitled
to by any law efjustice or hum an
ity. We have commended from the
very first that they are entitled to
q return of the capital invested, a
fair interest during investment and
compensation for the brains and
enterprise which haye been ex-
pended in the accomplishment
of their designs. What more
have honest, reasonable men
right to demand? They say that
is all thev want. Let US figure
little. A canal costs 100000. 1t
covers $1,000 acres of land. That,
according to canal company phrase
ology, is $4,000 perpetual rights.
For each perpetual right it is pro-
posed to charge $40; that exceeds
the capital by $4,000. In other
words, the purchasers of perpetual
rights have returned to investors
their investment-have virtually
purchased the works and paid $780,
600 for the privilege. We will sup
pose that from the inception of the
work until the last perpetual right
is disposed of $4,000 more has
been entailsd in cost of maintenance
and interest. That leaves the in
vestment cleared. We will again
suppose that the promoters are men
OF extraordinary ability and genius,
commanding princely compensa-
ton for services rendered or mooted.
We will grant that in consideration
of their almost miraculous ability |
10 borrow large sums of money
without any visible ability to re-
turn any part of it, they are en-
titled to $4,000. That is not a
niggardly fee. Then when the
perpetual rights are all disposed of
the remaining investment repre-
sents $4,000 worth of brains. If
it is desired to make the invest
ment perpetual, all the promoters
can reasonably ask is fair inter-
est on that $4,000. But they
don't figure it out that way. After
liquidating the original legitimate
investment by the sale of perpetual
rights, they seek to levy tribute for
