ton Rationale des Rats. a society
originating in Copenhagen, made it's
first appeal to the thrifty Danes on
economic grounds. In the capital and
its environs the associations ennis
saries bagged more than a hundred
thousand rats, at a cost for capture
and destruction, of about three cents
each. Now" argued the committee,
you will agree that each rat eats
and destroys each day half-cent' s
worth of food and material. One
hundred thousand rats would do
100000 worth of damage, at least.
Having spent about $4,000 on killing
them, we have saved you $3.50, 00s
odd" Both farmers and city folk
were won by this demonstration, and
now the government is abetting the
association in it's work OF rational
destruction"

his loss. He found that his house,
corrals and other property had been
carried away by the food, q few arti.
cles Of machinery being the only
movable property that was not lost.
There is a large amount Of hay caught
by the trees along the river, and
wreckage Of all kinds is scattered
along the river banks.
Mr.. Lee reports that everything 90
the Herman Brinkman place was swept
away, Mr.. Brinkman and his wife
having q narrow escape from being
caught by the food. The c.. T. Gil.
lardeau ranch was also swept clean Of
buildings, fences, etc., and his loss
will be heavy. The Charles Brinkmau
place, it 10 reported, escaped with
comparatively small damage. Some

later If had raised eve feet and car.

John Brinkman, We are told, lost
everything, though details are not OBJ
tainable at this time.
No word from Alex Johnson, except
that early in the evening he was seer
to pitch his tent back upon the hill

John George has about as sorry a
looking place as a be found along
the river today, though the actual loss
is probably not as great as some 9th.
ers. While his house sets quite high,
the old river channel surrounding it
soon was a raging torrent, and they
were completely cut off from outside
communication. Fortunately a boat
was at hand to be used in case of
emergency. When the big rise came
Mr.. George carried his wife and fam
lily from the house to the boat, and
they were soon camped on the hillside.
From the Pugsley ranch, 700 tons of
alfalfa and three wagons aoated down
the stream. It is supposed the other
losses at this place are very great,
but details are lacking At this time.
About all of the ranchers had in
crops of grain, nice ~gardens, fields Of

washed out completely were So covered
with mud that but little, il anything,

Floods Change the Map.

Several parties went out to the Teton
food district Sunday afternoon, to
make personal observ alton Of the
damage caused in that locality. Their
objective point was Teton station and
vicinity, but their trip by vehicle was
Interrupted by extensive washouts in
the county road, and the. latter por.
ton Of it was made by walking along
the railroad track.
Al q point opposite the w. H. EN-
bleton ranch, the food waters Of the
Teton have eaten away the bank to the
edge OF the county road, and 1t ap-
pears probable tina, the public thor
oughfare will be undermined at that
place. Further along the road at q
distance OF about q mile, the river has
absorbed about 300 feet of the high.
way and runs close to the railroad
fence, leaving no room for the passage
Of vehicles, and visitors are compelled
to take to the railroad track to reach
points lower down the stream.
The Teton school house, located be-
tween the Embleton and Griesb act
ranches is partially wrecked. The
rear portion Of it was undermined
and fell into the river, and now stands

stream. The remaining portion Of thu
building Is picketed to q big cotton
