save colds this winter.
Stock of all kinds are wintering

How to Use BisuIphide of Carbon?

Evan Wvck, Ida Feb. 25, 1905
Editor ADvocATE:-Will you in the
next issue of your paper please give
directions for using bisulphide of
carbon to exterminate ground
squirrels, and oblige a subscriber"
CA small quantity is placed in
the squirrels hole and the earth
tamped over the entrance; it is best
done in the evening after squirrels
have retired for the night; it forms
heavy gas which descends into
the lowest burrows, killing all YER
min there. 1t is two or three years
since we read of it being used for
this purpose, and the report we
read it in is not now at hand, but
the foregoing is correct to the best
of our remembrance; however, to
make sure, we have written Mr..
Clarence Shaw of this place, who
is we'll posted in the matter, and
will publish his reply.-Editor.)
(Since the foregoing was set up
Mr.. Shaw called at our office in
response to our letter. He states
that small quantity of the bisul-
phide of carbon is placed on a piece
of rag which is put into the hole
and then covered up; this may be
done at any time the squirrel is in
the hole. His information is taken
from the Year Book of the Dept. OF

ltested III the formal declaration from
Premier ROuV-cr concerning Morocco.
This. following Chancellor Won Bue-
lows statement in the German reichs-
tag, Is in the nature Of an answer and
an announcement of the govern

tion proved Very moderate. He con-
ciseiy explained the desires of France
IN Morocco saving.
The propositions uf our min 'ster to
Morocco never tended toward the es-
adjustment of q situation similar 10
that existing in the United States. He
revoked the mandate OF the powers and
we never dreamed OF attacking the
sultan's sovereignty. Il is our special
position which We maintained and
which now viii DO presented at the con-
ference. This is based upon the geo
graphlcai contiguiJy az AlgieIs and
France. We desire g liberal regime in
Morocco, assuring equal treatment for
all powers. France merely wishes to
conscieuuOusly safeguard her rights
and retain the full exercise Of her lib

County Is Growing Again.

Lincoln county. despite its immense
area, had dWindled TO a point where it
had only :. 400 population, in 1890. In
1900 it had crawied back to 3.2S4. The
latter year Phoebe had ZAP population.
Mr. Moore says that when he went to
Phoebe six weeks ago il had apparently
about 500 people; but during the time
he was there. he says, about One-third
as many more people came in, and the
town is growing rapidly. 1t looks as
though the halcyOn days OF the '70's are
coming back again.
The san Pedro. Los Angeles & salt
Lake road has been built through the
county for a distance of about 900
miles. and the immediate result OF its
building was practically TO double the
assessed valuation Of the county-the
increase beng represented. OF course,
by the railroad property. The rate OF
taxation has not been increased.

Relic of Boom Days.

The cOurthouse-debt. which is the old
man of the sea TO the taxpayers of
Lincoln county. is a relic of the boom
days of the EOS, when Phoebe had
population OF several thousand people,
and when the whole county was on thu
boom. The Raymond & Ely mine at
Phoebe. which produced $4,000, 900. and
the Meadow Valley were at the flood
tide Of its prosperity then.
Although Mr.. Moore says it would
cost about $4,000 20 build and furnish
the courthouse the comm 'ssioners-all
of whom are now dead or have left the
country-issued SlS1000 in bonds for
that purpose. Those bonds have been
drawing interest AZ 10 per cent Per an
mum ever since. The Sutron Bond COM
pany of San Francisco owns most of
them. Several years ago the company
obtained a judgment gainst the county
for the amount OF the principal and
interest Of the bonds. and that judg-
ment ii has kept renewed and in force.
