Squirrel. sn Kelsay.. Orchard.

County Clerk Kelsay, who recently
planted several thousand apple trees
in his orchard near The Dalles, has ex-
perienced considerable difficulty in
exterminating tremendous colony of
digger squirrels which have been wax
ing fat on his industry. Between the
rows OF trees Mr.. Kelsay planted corn,
and this, the Unsuitable rodents have
almost entirely uprooted, besides nip
ping the bark of many trees, quite
number of which they destroyed.
Poisoned wheat has had fatal effect
upon the squirrels, however, and
within week or two they will have
been completely wiped out.

Squirrels In Swarms.

The Walla Walla Statesman says:
Heretofore the Snake river has been
barrier between the squirrel swarm
ing country to the north and Walla
Walla county, but it is so no more.
The ferrymen and farmers in the
vicinity of Lyons ferry report that
the pesky little rodents are swimming
the Snake river by thousands and as
soon as they get across Immediately
attack the growing grain. Something
must be done at once or the entire
country will be captured by them.
There is no doubt that they swim
across the river, for the ferrymen say
they see them. These squirrels are
getting too smart.

Increase of Population.

Mr.. E. N. Chandler returned Sat-
urday from taking the census in Tygh.
Wamic. and Wapinitia precincts.
He says he never saw fall grain in bet
ter condition, and spring wheat is
growing very well, but needs warm
weather. Rain would be welcome, but
grain is not suffering. When Mr..
Chandler first came to the country
there was not over 100 inhabitants in
THESE precincts, and now there are
over 1000. On every hand is discov-
cred marks of improvement. The
virgin soil is being plowed, and new
houses are being built. Within the
past few years wonderful changes have
taken place In this portion Of the
county.

Fruit Not Damaged.

The past week has been quite cool
in this vicinity, and one or two nights
frost has covered the ground. So far
as known no damage has been done to
fruit prospects, and an abundant yield
is expected. The berry harvest is
somewhat delayed, and it will require
warmer weather for the strawberries
to mature. Large quantities have
been marketed, and more will be sold
when the temperature changes. Young
apples, peaches and prunes appear
thrifty, and these have received no
damage SO far as could be ascertained.
The cool weather has not been hurtful
to grain, although its growth has been
impeded somewhat.

Work at the Locks.

The water is so high at the Cascades
that little work can be done until the
river recedes to the normal stage.
One section of the second gate is placed
in position, and as soon as the water
goes down the other gates will be
erected, the remaining walls built and
the npper bulkhead taken out.
There cannot be much doubt that in
less than year boats will pass through
the canal to and from Eastern Oregon.
The contractors are very much in
earnest about the work, and will push
it with the greatest activity as soon
as the river will permit.

Almost q Fatal Accident.

Last Wednesday Andy Lytle met
with an accident while hauling wood,
in the mountains between Mckay and
Willow creek, which came near cost
ing him his life, says the Prineville
Rerieso. His team became frightened
while going down hill and ran away,
throwing him off the wagon with such
violence as to stun him severely, and
he remained unconscious until found
by 8 neighbor several hours after the
accident occurred. He was taken to
his brothers. place on Willow creek,
and did not regain consciousness until
the following morning. When the
team was found one horse was dead,
and the wagon was a perfect wreck.
At last accounts Mr.. Lytle was getting
along as well as could be expected,
though his head is badly bruised.

ESCAPE OF A CATTLE THIEF.
Alvin Sigman Eludes the Ofhcers Of Wascs
County.

COunty.
The grand jury last week indicted
Alvin Sigman, charged with stealing
cattle from ranches in the vicinity of
Dufur. Upon receiving q warrant for
the arrest OF the indictee Sheriff
Driver dispatcheda a deputy to his home
with instructions to arrest him at all
hazards, but the officer failed to dis
cover his man.
1t seems that Sigman anticipated the
action of the investigating body and
left the country at an opportune mo-
ment. Should he return to Oregon
during the next few years he will be
arrested and brought to trial.
Sheriff Driver is confident that the
palmy days of cattle rustling in Wasco
county are gone by-a condition that
will be hailed with delight by stock

The voters of The Dalles will on

Notwithstanding the fact that the in
coming council will have considerable
patronage to bestow-notably the mar
shalship and the recordership.
The water commissioners who will
retire are: j. o. Mack, commissioner

DR.. Logan has recently migrated

AN EDUCATIONAL FORCE
BY Which the Character of the Re-
gular Army VIII be Changed.

gular Army VIII be Changed.
People outside of the army are IN
aware that it is being made great
educational Institution and many
Arizonians will be surprised to learn
that the posts in the territory as every
where else have been converted into
| schools with well defined system of
instruction.
The work was begun five years ago
but was not thoroughly systemalized
called to it by the receipt here of
a general order for the esta blishment
OF officers lyceums at the various posts.
Originally only privates were in
cluded IN the general educational plan
and details were made for their in
struction in tactics, the common
branches, history and the geography of
the state or territory in which the post
lies.
The plan has now been amplitied and
more prehensive and systematic
curriculum with an examination
scheme has been added, affording to
soldiers opportunities of promotion.
The lyceums now to be created are
divided into three grades, captains,
lieutenants and soldiers. The theory of
tactics naturally forms the chief feat
ure OF the course and is designed to
keep fresh in the minds OF officers
KNOWLEDGE they had gained at the
Point. The course also enc braces the
higher mathematics and modern Ian
guages.
The officers division of the army is
thus converted from a social to an edu-
catlonal circle and private soldiers
whose only source of amusement was
furnished at the canteen now find en-
ployment in the school.
A natural result of this arrangement
is that the character OF the army viii!
be wholly changed, that the foreign
element in it will be replaced by an
American element since American bows
will find in it an opportunity and fre-
quently the only opportunity to gain q
useful education. And they will
emerge from it useful citizens well
qualified for other pursuits.
