Mr.. Fellows says that II will take three
years to complete the tunnel, OF which
two years will be devoted to boring and
one year to conereting. The bore is
through granite and shale, in about
equal quantities
The tunnel will be about IL feet square

our attention in going about last sea-

TO d lot Of young chickens or turkeys
where it is used as an ointment to
destroy lice, feas or bugs In one
instance a raiser who had a fine lot
of young turkeys discovered that some
lice were bothering them little, and
at once proceeded to rub them with
lard in which some kerosene Oil had
been mixed.
Always prior to this time this
breeder had been very successful with
the use OF. lard alone, but the add
ton of kerosene having been recon-
mended, it was tried, and over 70
young turkeys were killed by the ex-
pertinent. Hundreds of young chicks
have been killed in the same way, and
yet people will tell you to use 1t, and
people will use it in spite of all that
you can tell them. The best and most
innocent remedy to be used in this
way is to dip your finger, or small
stiff brush, into sweet oil and thor
oughly anoint the parts where the in
sect vermin are, and this will kill
them all and in no way injuIe the
young chick oP poultry.
We presume that every paper in the
country interested in poultry in any
way has recorded in its columns the
danger Of using kerosene for this pur-
pose, and yet, as stated above, people
will continue to use it.

The valley. the river that divides it and
the mountains that flank it were all

aborigines of this region

averages nine miles in width. Some of it

will do is shown about this town, which,
with a population of / 200, is the largest
In the valley. Here are fine orchards Of
apples, peaches and pears, yielding as
high as $500 an acre. Further down the
valley there are only aIkaH soil and sage
brush, such as you will see for hours in
crossing the desert.
In 1900 a party Of residents Of the Ua-
compahgre valley made the first inyesri-

water supply. They explored the can
yon for q perilous days. and succeeded
in getting only half way through it. The
record Of their journey is succession of
hairbreadth escapes.
They returned convinced that the
project would be too costly to be prac-
