they had heart trouble, because the heart Is
over-working in pumping thick, kidney

Swift Rafting on the Snake.

Sunday last Cy Kite and associates
came down the south fork of the
Snake as far as Anderson dam, with
a raft of logs at a rate of speed that
must have been hair lifting at times.
says the Rigby Star. They started
with the raft from the upper end of
Grand valley, a distance of about rs
miles from where they landed. On
account of the great volume Of water
they were enabled to float the distance
in few hours, the last 35 miles of
the trip having been made in two
hours and thirty minutes which was
certainly going some. The water was
SO high last Sunday that in passing
under the iron bridge that spans the
river in Counard valley, the men on
the raft were compelled to stoop in or
der to prevent coming in contact with
the bridge floor. BY the way. Mr..
Kite says the bridge appeared to be
in threatening condition, the center
having sagged considerable, thus indi-
eating that the middle pier had been
weakened by the high water.
Mr.. Kite fears that higher water is
yet to come, as he says that in his 81
years acquaintance with the upper
south fork country, he has never
known so much snow and ice to be in
sight at this time of the year as there
is now. A few days Of warm weather
or a warm rain will bring the water
down in such volumes as to do great
damage.
The logs brought down by Mr.. Kite
and associates will be used at the
Great Falls headgate.

SURE CURE FOR SQUIRRELS.
Indian Farmer Burns Dynamite tC
Rid His Field of Pests.

Charles Lacey, a we'll known mine
owner and farmer living about 10
miles northeast of Troy, Idaho, in
the Mica mountain section, has an
original and unique method of rid
ding his farm of grain squirrels and
similar pests that make their home
in the ground.
For years Mr.. Lacey has been act
lively engaged in prospecting and de-
veloping of mines in various parts of
the United States and is thoroughly
yersed in the art of dynamiting and
the use of giant powder generally.
He also has a knowledge of the prop
critics of dynamite, which led up to
a discovery that may revolutionize
the fighting of squirrel pests in the
Inland Empire.
He cuts off a small piece of ex-
plosive from the stick, say about two
or three inches long. This piece is
hastily lighted with a match and
thrown as far down as possible into
the hole. the entrance of which Is
quickly filled up. If there are several
holes a few feet or yards away these
are watched closely and closed up with
dirt as soon as smoke begins coming
out. 1t is surprising how much gas
and smoke is produced by the little
chunk of dynamite. After the smoke
and gas Is effectually confined to the
holes 10 more attention is necessary.
Killed in an Instant.
The squirrels are asphyxiated in an
instant, SO deadly is the gas; nor will
any other squirrels burrow into the
holes. Mr.. Lacey says there are holes
thus treated on his place seven or
eight years ago and none have ever
been opened by other squirrels.
He has opened some of these holes
weeks after treating them in this way
and could detect slight odor of the
gas.
In addition to its being an easy
method, it Is absolutely safe as far
| as stock is concerned, and is not dam
gerous to the operator, other than a
sharp headache If the operations are
carried on any length of time with
out n rest. Mr.. Lacey does not work
at this more than half an hour at
| time.
In this way the farm can be rid OF
the destructive pests at small cost
A 10-pound box of dynamite contains
80 sticks, each about eight inches
long. These can he cut up into
lengths of two to four inches, as de-
sired. Thus 80 to 120 holes of dens
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-06-24

can be treated at cost Of s1.40 to
s1.60. In place Of killing one squirrel
at a tune, as is the case of poison
or the gun, whole dens and families
are killed at once, and with little la
Dor TO the operator, The dynamite
burns readily and totally dissolves in
gas and smoke
This method would be valuable to
Inland Empire farmers, especially
those on the prairie where the squir-
rel dens follow the fence rows. In
an incredibly short time the farm
would be rid of the pests.

THE CoLDEsT SUMMER.
The Season OF 1910 Coolest ON Rec
ord I'm America,

ord In America.
The coolest summer ever recorded
in the United States was that of 1916
when snow and ice killed crops,
fruits and vegetables, every month
during the summer. The Baltimore
American gives the following review
of that year taken from Pierce
on the weather, an old weather re-
view rs follows.
Janucry was mild--so much as to
render fires almost needless in sit
ting rooms. December, the month
Immediately preceding this, was very
cold.
February was not very cold, with
mild like its predecessor.
March was cold and boisterous,
the first half CT 1.-THE remainder
was mild. A great freshet of the
Ohio and Kentucky rivers that caus-
ed great loss of property.
April began warm and grew cold
er as the month advanced, and end
ed with snow and ice, with a temper
ature more like winter than spring.
May like the one just ended, was
more remarkable for frowns than
smiles. Buds and fruits were frozen
ice formed half an inch in thick
ness-corn killed and the field again
and again replanted until deemed too
late.
June the coolest ever known in
this latitude, Frost and ice and
snow were common. Almost every
green shrub was killed. Fruit near
ly all destroyed. Snow fell to the
depth of ten inches in Vermont. Sew
eral inches in Maine, and 1t fell to
the depth of three inches in the in
terror of this state; 1t fell also in
Massachusetts.
July was accompanied by frost and
ice. On the morning after the 4th
ice formed 10 the thickness of COM
mon window glass throughout New
England, New York and some parts
of Pennsylvania Indian corn nearly
all killed; some favorably situated
| fields escaped. This was true of
some of the hill farms in Massa-
chusetts.
August was more cherries IL pos
sible than the summer months al
ready passed. Ice was formed half
an inch in thickness. Indian corn
was so frozen that the greater part
of it was cut down and dried for
was destroyed, both in this country
and in Europe. Papers received
from England said: st will ever be
remembered by the present gener-
alton that the year 1916 was a year
in which there was no summer" Very

Through deal that has just been
completed the Cunningham Sheep &
Land company has sold its wool clip
to Messrs. Greene and Smith, repre-
sentatives of Koshland & Co. The
clip amounted to 10000 pounds and
the price paid was 1Sh cents.
Owing to the fact that part Of their
wool had become wet the Cunningham
company did not have its wool offer
ed at the recent sales day, and the
price offered then for the damaged
portion was considered unsatisfactory.
In order to ascertain the exact value
of the clip it was decided by the COM
pany to have the wool secured here
and sell it upon a secured basis, This
was done with the dampened portion
of the clip, and the shrinkage was
found to he 69k per cent, which
was less than what had been esti-
mated by the buyers. The entire clip
was then sold to Messrs Greene and
Smith at prica that was equivalent
to 1Sh cents upon a grease basis.
Through having their wool secured
the Cunningham people secured about
two cents more per pound on nalt
their clip than they would have got
ten otherwise. AS result they favor
the proposition of securing the wool
before selling when there is much
doubt as to the shrinkage. Through
the fact that there is securing mill
here It is possible for growers to do
this and the plan works to the mu-
tual benefit of both the grower and
the mill.
Wool All Sold.
With the sale of the Cunningham
clip the last of the big clips of the
county passed from the hands of the
growers, and there is now practically
no wool left in the hands of local
growers.
In the Wallowa country there is
about 100000 pounds still unsold ac-
cording to Charles H. Greene, while
about 100000 pounds is awaiting
sale 1T Shanlko.

EPIGRAMS.

From Sunday Sermon byRev. II. Preston
Great souls in a sense, have an inn
mortality on earth. Paul influences
more millions to-day than he did hun
dreds while on earth. A thousand
years from now men will be fusing
their manhood at the altar fires of
Washington and Lincoln.
Ericsson said, providence has Civ
en- me greater abilities for use, with
in certain limits, than to any other
mortal" 1t was not arrogance; il
was the sort of self-appreciation a
man must have in order to succeed.
We tend to move in lines of least
resistance. And whenever a mar does
contrariwise, he needs strong justifi.
cation for his behavior. There is one
reasonable argument to hold men anC
women to their tasks; the tasks must
be worth the doing.
Antagonist is the law of creation
In earth in sea, Tin sky for aught W,
know the same pitiless struggle il
going ON. No man may cultivate +;
flower or grace or public spirit unhin
dered.
Modern medical discovery confirm
the fact that "We are fearfully ant
wonderfully made" Each human
organism is a battle ground on which
| the issues of life and death are Tough
out by by pitiless, opposing armies.
Does not history record that ever,
great reform has had to fight its way
You can hardly name a single move
ment for the dignifying of manhooc
or the sweetening of human life bu
has had it's martyrs.
A man never realizes how man,
forms evil can assume until he under
takes to walk with God. Churcl
membership, in so far as it stands TO
a clean heare and self-renouncins
manhood, involves new battlefields.

MARKET QUOTATIONS.

The wheat market has Auctuated
the past week within a cent and a half
limit, the May option closing We'd
nesday at 78s@794 against 784c a
week ago. There was an attempt on
the part of the bulls to boost the
price by the report of damage to
winter wheat by green bugs in the
southern fields, but it had little effect.
There is not much upon which to
base hopes of any great advance in
wheat.
The barley market has been on the
up grade the past week, advancing
about ten cents. The short oat crop
evidently made an extra demand for
barley for feed purposes earlier in the
season, which took a considerable
amount of that grain. 1t now de-
velopes the barley crop was less than
estimated. The maltsters contract
ed for future delivery on the basis of
their over estimate of the barley crop.
The result is that they are obliged to
ask sellers what price they take in
stead of telling the sellers what price
they will give. How long it will be
before the condition changes we do
not know, but we look for the bottom
to be kicked out of the prevailing high
price before many weeks. At the
price, 81 and So cents on the local
market, every bushel except seed will
probably be market as fast as possible.
Oats are holding up to last weeks
prices, but do not seem able to &C
above.
