ARE FENCING SHEEP RANGES
Has Proved Protection Against An AMI
maEs But Bears

Fencing the range to protect sheep
from the attacks Of predatory animals
has met with excellent results in the
Wallowa National Forest, Oregon.
The problem was to find a strong
fence that would make the sheep Sc
cure, even without the care Of a her
der.
The chosen fence, which is built Of
woven wire with barbed wire on the
top, has kept out all the minor animals
such as wild cats, lynxes and coyotes,
but has not withstood the attacks Of
the grizzlies, which are apparently
able to PASS through ii with little
trouble.
Sheep numbering 1900 head were
placed in the enclosure with their
lambs upon June 10th and have been
allowed to Craze at their free will with
no attention whatever from any herder.
They have done splendidly and as far
as the observation OF those in charge
Of the experiment goes, given area
grazed by sheep under such conditions
will carry more sheep per acre than
one grazed under the charge OF her
der.
Tracks along the fence show that
predatory animals come to the fence
constantly and follow it around but,
with the exception Of the bears, do not
seem able to enter.
The hunter employed by the ser
vice for hunting predatory animals in
the vicinity OF this fenced enclosure
has killed no less than six large griz-
zlies this season, besides numerous
other animals of the predatory class.
The results OF this experiment are
so satisfactory thus lar that private IN
dividuals are profting by it. Mr.. J.
w. Emmons of Troy, Oregon, has
large area Of private land fenced with
a special wire fence in which he has
this season lambed herd of $40 ewes
without herder's care and with very
little attention and great success.
Mr.. Emmons is attending his fence,
for he finds that it pays.
Careful record will be kept Of the
weights of lambs raised inside this
fence with view of comparing them
with the same grade Of lambs raised
outside the fence on the same class of
range, so that any gains or losses in
weight and growth may be determined.

CATCH TONS OF MOTHS
Electricity Again Comes to Aid of Man in
Destroying Tree Pests

A dispatch appeared in the daily
press last week from Zittan, Germany,
which stated that the Saxon authorities
had discovered what seems to be an
excellent way to put an end to the
caterpillar plague which is having such
a disastrous effect on the local forests.
They have discovered method to
catch the brown nun moths that lay the
eggs by which the caterpillars come.
They make use Of what they call
the electric light trap. This consists
of two large and powerful refectors
placed over a deep receptacle and
powerful exhaust fans. The whole has
been erected on top OF the municipal
electric plant.
At night two streams Of light are
thrown from the rehectors on the
wooded mountain sides half mile dis
tant. The results have been astonish-
ing. The moths, drawn by the bril-
Iancy, come futtering in thousands
along the broad rays Of light.
When they get within certain dis
tance of the rehectors the exhaust fans
take up their work and currents OF air
swirl them down into the receptacle.
On the first night no less than three
tons of moths were caught.

right to determine for itself what re-
strictions should be placed upon the
liquor traffic. Judge Poindexter, who
is a pleasing, logical and forceful
speaker, held the marked attention ol

The Gle Elum Echo: Miles Poin-
dexter of Spokane, candidate before
the primaries for member of Congress
from this (the Third District } on the
republican ticket, was in the city Fri
day making acquaintances and taking
observations of the lay of the land.
Mr.. Poindexter stands high in his pro-
fession and among those who know
him the claim is set up that there is
no better fellow, socially or otherwise.
That he is capable Of filling the shoes
to be vacated by Wesley L. Jones,
who by the almost unanimous will Of
the people will be promoted, there is
every reason to believe, and should he
meet expectations, Washington will in
deed be most fortunate. Mr.. Poin-
dexter leaves the impression Of pos
sessing the qualifications essential for
a live, progressive congressman, and
should he be honored with sufficient
votes to place his name on the cleo
ton ticket, the people in our humble
judgment, will have made no mistake.

Cashmere Record: OF all the can
didates seeking the place Of Congress
man Wesley L. Jones, Miles Poin-
dexter of Spokane seems to be the
most likely. Indications from the
press all over the district point to his
nomination by a large majority. His
achievements are many during the
long and honorable career he has
served the people Of eastern Wash
ington in different capacities. He is
pre-eminently the man for Congress,
and voters of Chelan county will never
make a mistake in electing him as
their representative.

/ Judge of this county and well known
to many old timers, is making win

asks the support of his old Stevens
county friends at the primary election.
Judge Poindexter is one of the most
able men in eastern Washington, and
with him to look after our interests in
the lower house this portion Of the
state is sure to fare well. Give him
your first choice vote at the primaries
and thus assist in nominating an able
man, whose honesty and integrity is
unquestioned and who is entirely free
from all past political entanglements.
Springdale Reformer: Hon. Levi
Ankeny for senator, Judge Miles Poin-
dexter for congress, Ex-Governor
Henry Mcbride for governor and M.
E. Hay for Lieutenant governor. Isn't
that a good ticket? 1t is made up of
some of the very ablest and best men
in the republican party and it is the
ticket the Reformer believes will be
nominated at the September primaries.
Give it your vote and moral support
and thus assist in naming a ticket that
will be simply invincible at the polls
in November.
Yakima Daily Republic: Judge
Miles Poindexter OF Spokane, who is a

questions Judge Poindexter discussed
the discrimination practised in freight
rates against the people of eastern
Washington and declared that it was
not so much a question Of high rates
as Of equal and uniform rates. The
local sentiment here is overwhelmingly
in favor Of Judge Poindexter's candi-
dacy.

SAM SLABS AT
l. HIS OLD CRUMS
Kennedy Trying to Get Connecticut
League Players to Jump to
the Outlaws.

Holyoke, April An his quest
for material for the Baltimore, Md,
club of the new outlaw Union league
which he is to manage this season,
Sam Kennedy, the former New Lon
don leader, has turned to the Con-
necticut league, his old stamping
ground He has sent Baltimore con-
tracts to Catcher Parry Thackara of
the Holyoke club and Infieider Andy
Lawrence of this city, and 1t is not
unlikely that other players in the
league have received similar sheets
from him during the past few weeks.
The reported signing of Jimmy
Burns of the Springfield team in the
league has probably given the willy
outlaws some encouragement in
looking for more material in these
parts. Kennedy points cut the
golden opportunities offered by the
new league to dOWntrodden base
ball workers and has gone SO far as
to include Thackara and Lawrence in
his seasons lineup. Pitchers Parker
Treat and Cy Parkins, former Nut
meg leaguers, are also listed as
members of his team. 7 hackara
Lawrence still have Kennedy's con-
tracts and are likely to treasure
them as souvenirs.
Although it was thought 10 have
been practically settled some days
ago that Lawrence was going with
the Hartford team, there was been
! a hitch in the negotiations. Tom
Dowd had offered the Portsmouth,
Va, club, which holds Lawrence, two
players in exchange and the deal was
expected to go through. Since then
the Portsmouth management is
thought to have undergone I, change
of heart. Fans have protested Wig
orously and want Lawrence to re-
turn and consequently the deal is up
in the air. Manager Dowd is still
trying to convince Portsmouth that
the trade is the proper thing, as
Lawrence's health will hardly per-
NIT his return to the south again,
where he was taken i'll last season
and compelled to lay off for several
months.

Jack Tighe's missive from TIE Maine

Jack lott and he said that he would
report along with the other players
on Monday. lott sighed and re-
turned his contract some time ago,
but until the note from him yester-
day his return was doubtful. He

in the outcome of the game they just

of the enjoyable features of the
evening. One of the amusing stunts
was after Willie had obtained dou-

LITTLE CHANCE FOR LUSH.
Great disappointment for the New
Haven Fans.

New Haven. April 4.-Unfortu-
nately there is little chance of Billy
Lush managing and captaining the
New Haven baseball nine. as report
ed. DR. Bert DAILY, owner. is anx-
ious to secure Lush's services.
Lush has little chance of getting
away from Cleveland. who has
farmed him out to the Nashville club
of the Southern league. Lush has
been told that if he is able to play
baseball at all he must play with
Nashville. Cleveland has notified
him that he Is considered too valu-
able a player TO allow his release
TO he sold. Should he show up in
Nashville in his old form he would
undoubtedly be sold 10 Cleveland
again. Lush's eyes never recovered
from the severe injury which Grip
Piled him last season as Yale coach.
Even II his eyes recover their
strength eventually they will prob
ably not allow his play ng this year.
The only possible chance of his
having any connection with the New
Haven nine will be in his managing
Il from the bench. Should he care
TO do this, il is no. probable that
Nashville would object, with the
understanding that he would join
that club next year in ease his eye
sight allows him 10 again play pro-
fessional ball.
