Nova Scotia is an agricultural prov
ince, and like many sections in this
part of the country is troubled with
insect pests, notably the brown-tailed
moth. And our neighbors have bor-
rowed an idea from this side of the in
ternational line. They have set the
children at work. The government
offers bounty of three cents for
every brown-tailed moth captured and
identified, and agricultural officials
have organized school childrens corps
trained to gather the insects and turn
them in. That should do the bust

w. G. Ayre Sold 2OO-Acre Farm.

Col. w. G. Ayre, the sheep king of
eastern Oregon, has sold his famous
200 acre ranch in the Durkee valley
to f. C. Oxman of Chicago, from
whom he received the good round sum
of $4,000.
This ranch is considered the best
improved In Baker county and moth
ing goes with the sale in the way of
personal property or effects, sheep,
horses, cattle, or hay. The people
generally OF the district and of Baker
City will regret to see Col Ayre re-
tire from this celebrated ranch. To
1t. which is situated only one mile
from the town of Durkee, he built a
telephone line and the ranch controls
large water rights which are very
valuable. Colonel Ayre made for

with the sheep industry. After a WIS.,

Sam jackson Heard From.

Sam Jackson, a more or less modi-
fled specimen of the aborigines of
this country and a we'll known char
acter in local police circles, was up
before Judge Luhman in the police
court this morning on the charge of
having been on a drunk which was
attended with some little unpleasant
ness.
Sam, after partaking freely of fire
water, went to the Bon-Ton restau-
rant on First and Chestnut streets
and ordered dinner, the time being
6 p m. last evening. He finished his
repast, hut when it came to settling
the reckoning he was not there with
the finances. The proprietor and the
help proceeded to throw Sam out and
the resistance made was the occasion
of his getting sundry kicks and
punches. A crowd gathered to wit
ness the performance, but the show
was stopped by Chief Miller, who ar
rived on the scene just as Sam land
ed in a heap on the pavement.
In the police court Sam pleaded
guilty to having been drunk and un-
able to take care of himself and was
fined s10.-Yakmima Republic.

Ncw Railroads Protected.

Two new companies have entered
the field of railroad enterprise in the
state of Washington within the past
few days and whose operations prom
ise to be of considerable interest to
the people of this district Each
company projects a short line Of
railroad to connect up with the
Northern Pacific system and If the
plans are carried out these roads will
undoubtedly do much to open up val
liable territory at present undevelop-
ed owing to lack of transportation ia
cilities.
The new companies are the North
ern & Southern Railway company,
which proposes to build from Water
vile, Douglas county, to Pasco, and
the Priest Rapids Railway company,
which projects line from Wenatchee
via Chelan and other towns in that
section to "some point on the North
ern Pacific railroad" which might be
either Pasco or Kennewick.-Yakima

Bridge Gangs Strike.

As the result of the action of a
foreman in discharging some men en-
gagged on the work, about three-quar-
ters of the force of men employed in
the bridge construction on the Culde-
sac-Grangeville line near this point
have auit and gone to Seattle. The
nresent force, It is said, does not eX-
ceed 90 men. The details relative to
the trouble that apparently has arisen
are not now obtainable. The track
lavinG work is steadily although slowly
proceeding, and 1t is the estimate that
the line will be completed to the head
of the canyon at Kippen within six
weeks or ito months. AS evidence
that the grading work on the line Is
drawing to n close, the local station
Is daily receiving quantities OF rails,
ties and other equipment used by the
sub-contractors. On the other hand,
the railroad seems to realize that the
new line Is soon to be put In opera
tion. for It is noted daily shipments
of posts, wires and incidental supplies
are being received here for the fenc-
ing of the track.
Culdesac is surely now an evidence
of the proximity of railroad work
for in addition to the daily receipts
of the outoing and incoming railroad
construction equipment, mile or sc
of sidetrack In town is loaded down
with steel that will enter into the
construction of the big Lawyer Can
Won bridge, and much more sidetracl
is being installed.-Lewiston Tribune

To Rescue Young Bass.

Deputy State Game and Fish War
den Mac. II. Harbaugh is endeavoring
to interest the state in reclaiming the
Young bass in the landlocked pools of
the Clearwater sloughs and 1t Is ex-
nected that some decision by the state
officials will be rendered within the
next few days.
Mr.. Harbaugh states there are mil
lions of young bass now in the land
locked pools which are going dry
very rapidly and within a short time
all these young fish will perish unless
steps are taken to save them before
the water recedes sufficiently for
them to become a prey to birds and
animals.
The matter will also be taken up
with the Sweetwater Land company
with a view to having a large number
of the young fish planted in the res
ervoir now being constructed east OF
the city.-Lewiston Teller.
