Kills the Squirrels.

If you want to get rid Of the
squirrels on your ranch try the fol
lowing: Buy can Of concentrate
ed lye and a gallon Of cheap syrup,
mix about half Of the can of lye in
the syrup and put it on little pieces
Of boards and put it near the holes
and places frequented by the little
pests and it will kill all that eat OF
it and the rest will leave the ranch.
The squirrels are very fond Of any
thing sweet and will readily eat
the syrup and lye. The above is
said to be the best squirrel eradi-
Gator ever discovered. Try it.-Ex.

Will Make a fine Road.

County Surveyor Spedden sur.
veyed the road down Grave creek
last week and found a very easy
grade and feasible route. The
grade does not 60 above 12 per cent
except at one point on the route,
where for short distance it reaches
16 per cent, but this can very easi-
ly be reduced by grading and in
many places the 12 per cent grades
can be considerably reduced also.
When it is considered that many
of the mountain roads in this coun
ty are built over 90 per cent grades
it will be seen that this road will
have very easy grade. Surveyor
Spedden will very likely recon
mend the opening of the road to
the commissioners at the next
meeting of the board and steps
will then be taken to open the road
permanently In the meantime
tie Commercial club will begin
soliciting donations Of money and
work here, at Denver and on Sal
mon river SO as to have as much oi
the road built this year as possible
after the commissioners order il
opened up. Under the law the
county can expend but $1,000 or
road and as the cost of this road
is estimated at something ovel
$4,000 the balance will have to bt
made up in great part by the resi-
dents of the sections the. road vii
serve. This road when completed
will be the best and in fact tn,
only decent outlet for the farmers
and stockmen on Joseph and Dou
mecq plains and will be the meani
OF turning a large volume Of trad,
to this place.

prthern Pacific men are holding the
crossing in Lawyers canyon.
DRvEYRVG DOWN SNAKE
party has arrived at Lewiston to run
line for n. P. to Riparia.

While there have been no devel-
ppments of great importance in
ailroad news in the past week still
fhe arrival of new surveying parties
n the field and the closeness with
which the rival companies are
patching each other signifies that
Important developments may soon
be expected. The party of o. R, &
n. surveyors under Engineer Kip
pei, which arrived at Mohler last
week, has been busily engaged in
re.establishing the old survey from
the head of Big Canyon down to.
the Clearwater and the work is be.
ing done quietly, the members OF
the party refusing to state any.
thing about their future work or
expectations. Early in the week
party of Northern Pacific survey
ors under Engineer Pollard arrived
at Culdesac and at once had their
supplies freighted to Ilo. Later
this party was joined by another
and the two parties, numbering
about 40 men are now camped a.
Rock Corral crossing in Lawyers
canyon, which point is said to be
the crossing selected by the 0. R.
& N. company several years ago
when it surveyed its line into this
section. This party has as yet
done no surveying but put in the
time in preparing a permanent
camp and caring for the supplies.
1t is expected however that the
party will soon commence work
but just where they will run their
lines remains to be seen.
The main aim OF the party Of O.
r. & N. men seems to be to retain
possession of Big and Little can-
yons, their outlet onto the prairie,
and to put the survey at that point
into the best possible shape SO it
can be used at a moments notice
when required. Perhaps later a
part Of the company will complete
this survey to Lewiston and then
return to complete the work on the
prairie. From what can be learned
it seems these surveying parties
are in the field at present more to
be on the ground, establish sup
ply points and hold the important
passes for each company than to
do any extensive work and as soon
as the head officials of the roads
decide to begin operations gangs OF
men and teams will be rushed into
the field and dirt will begin to fly
in all directions. There is certain
ly something on tap for this part Of
Idaho in railroad lines this sum
mer and it looks as if the present
parties 10 the field are simply fore
runners Of the storm to come later

party Of twelve surveyors has az
