DECLARED A PEST
Texas and Oklahoma Take Steps
to Exterminate Prai-
rie Dogs.
LAUNDRY SOAP KILLS THEM
Department of Agriculture Looking for
Some Fatal Malady to lnoc-
ulate Them With.

A systematic organization of the
homesteaderS along the Oklahoma
Texas border has been in progress
during the past three years looking to
the determination Of the prairie dog, Il
pest that is still 4 menace tG crops ana
orchards throughout western Oklaho-
ma and the Texas Panhandle country.
says the st. Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.
This organization extends from Beaver
county. Okla. down into the Texas
Panhandle and numbers hundreds of
farmers in its membership. In one
vicinity last spring three tons of poison
was used in this campaign of eXterni-
nation, and Il similar amount will be
fed out this spring III the dog villages.
The campaign has been carried even
into the Texas and Oklahoma legisla-
lures, where bills have been passed
providing for the placing OF bounty ON
ScaIpS. In the Oklahoma legislature
such q bill was passed in 1905 through
the efforts of Representative Tom
Robinson of Greer county. 1t gives
the township trustees the power TO au-
thorze a levy by the county commits
siOncrs, the fund to be used in boun-
ties. The operation of this law, which
is similar To the Texas statute, has
been very successful in several por-
tons of this locality.
It has been found by the homestead
| ers that the silly way in which results
can be obtained is to carry on a cam
paign over Il considerable territory at
| the same time. as the dogs, if driven
out of one locality, will merely move
| to another town" The little animals
migrate frequently and often appear
| suddenly in large numbers in localities
where they have not been seen before
| In many years.
| President Refers TO Risks.
Fouowlag his hunting trip on the
Red ave, President Roosevelt i'll de
| scribing rhe wolf and coyote chases
said: There was Il certain element o!
risk in the gallops, because the wholc
country was one huge prairie dog town

Proves That Parasites Cause Hair
Loss.
Nine-tenths of the diseases of the
scalp and hair are caused by parasitic
germs. The Importance of this discov-
cry by Professor Unna. of the Charity
hospital, Hamburg, Germany. can not
be overestimated. 1t explains why n
binary hair preparations. even of the
most expensive character fail to cure
dandruff; because they do not. AMI
they can not kill the dandruff germ.
The only hair preparation in the world
that positively destroys the dandruf

destroying the dandruff germ Herpi-

at the noon hour yesterday one of
the city hose carts was wrecked
near the corner of Chestnut and

action of the cart striking some
obstruction and bounding into the
air, striking on one wheel as it
came down, spreading spokes and
pieces of the cart in every direction.
Luckily there was no fire, or the in
surance companies would probably
have booked heavier loss on ac-
count of the accident.

Work Near Grand Rapids.

A large amount of drilling has
already been done in the vicinity of
Grand Rapids and considerable ore
has been found. The Oliver COM
pano has secured options covering
lands in 55 26 and SALT and will soon
begin operations to thoroughly
test the territory. 1t is claimed
that not less than twenty drills will
be in operation in the immediate
vicinity of Grand Rapids within the
next thirty days. Most of the drills
will be operated by Hartley & Lum
and by the Hartman Bros. of Du-
luth. Because of the large num-
ber of drillings being put in Grand
Rapids is taking on new life and is
looking forward to a near by day
when it will become a mining
center.

Would Find More Cows.

A bill before the Wisconsin legis-
lature provides for the publication
in the local press, or in the nearest
paper, ofthe personal property as
sessment roll. And it should be-
come 1aw-not in Wisconsin only
but in every state in the union.
There are plenty of people who
deliberately shy on their property
valuation when they are talking to
the assessor alone who would
squirm if that valuation were set
down in cold black type tor the
neighbors to read. Such a law
would also tend to make an assess
or more careful in his duties, and
an increase in the number of COWS
in some cities might be found in
the assessment rolls.
