WASHINGTON, OREGON AND IDAHO
HELP FARMERS TO KILL SQUIRRELS
Uncle Sam Sends Professor Piper to
PaIouse Country to Study Hab-
its of Little Pests.

PULLMAN, Wash, March 81
The department of agriculture at
to solve the problem Of the. squirrel
pest, which costs the farmers of east
ern Washington and northern Idaho
millions of dollars by destroying crops.
Stanley Piper of the biological survey
working under the direction of the de-
partment of agriculture, has been sent
here to make a study of the habits
of the squirrel and to experiment in
destroying them. Professor Piper,
when a scholar here, secured hundreds
of squirrels, inoculating them with
the germs of a new disease, and re-
leased them. They spread the disease
among their neighbors, and thousands
were killed.
In some seasons it is estimated that
the squirrels have destroyed as much
as ten per cent of the crop of the Pa
louise country. That means from
100000 to 100000 bushels of grain
worth from 100000 to $750,O0O.

Other lines are being talked of in
connection with upper river Transport

the steamer Mountain Gem will be
turned back to her owners at Lewis

with the craft on the Columbia. Later
it is planned to construct vessels for
