Superintendent Manson OF the Idaho
division of the Oregon Short Line, tells
the Boise Statesman OF the abatement
OF nuisance along that railroad.
In speaking OF the dust along the
road, says the Statesman, Mr.. Manson
said recent work done on the road had
resulted In greatly diminishing the
nuisance. There used to be path in
The center OF the track, the dirt being
brought up In the form OF hill. On
the suggestion OF Mr.. Bancroft the
chill was removed and the dirt filled In
level between the ties the entire width
OF the track.
The experiment has proven highly
successful. II has been found that most
OF the dust came from the "hill" in the
center OF the track. and its removal has
proven q blessing.

THE aussiAn THISTLE.



lnstttvts Report the Extent Of Growth
Of the Weed.
One OF the worthy features OF the
Farmers Institute that WAS recently
held In Blackfoot was the investigation
OF the injurious weeds. Prof. Hsnder-
son brought into the room Russian
thistle that he found along the road
east OF town. He told Of the appearance
OF the thistle In various parts of the
state and the necessity OF destroying
the weed before it gains foot-hold in
the county.
The institute appointed a committee
OF three TO make investigations in re-
gard to the extent OF the weed in this
county. AS one member OF that CON-
mittee desire, by the assistance OF the
press, 10 report my personal investiga-
,ions.

growing at various parts along tne rail
road. 1t is to be found west OF River
rtAS POoeoUSCs ouu nv 'uciSinuu ShC
thistle has gotten quite start. In the
vicinity OF Idaho Falls there are numer-
ons patches OF the thistle. From the
above locations ii has spread TO a large
extent over the county. Its presence
should alarm the people, everyone
should destroy the thistle when found.
The county commissioners should take
the matter up whereby the thistle can
be destroyed or kept in check, until the
legislature convenes, then law should
b. passed compelling every land owner
TO keep their premises clear of the
thistle. The people OF Moreland are
destroying the weed and propose to
clean it out. 1t is TO be hoped that
everyone will keep this weed off their
land. w. A. SAMPLE.
