INCREASED PAY COMES
TO UNCLE SANS SOLDIERS

Bulletins announcing the increase
In pay granted by the last congress
to United States soldiers have been
received at the government recruit
ing station, says a Spokane item.
Advances are made all along the
line. the best increase of course be-
ing for the men in the higher grades
Of the service. The increase at the
time of enlistment varies from 81
per month for the ordinary private,
who now gets SIS per month, to
much more substantial raise for mas
ter electricians and other skilled lines
of service drawing from $45' to SIS
per month.
One Of the attractive features Of
the new schedule of pay is the grad
uated Increase for subsequent enlist
ments. This is intended to retain the
old men in the service.
Under this arrangement all SOL
ders drawing $36 or over per month
will receive an increase Of "a per

Attempts made last spring at pois-
oning prairie dogs in national forests
On an extensive scale seem to have
been highly successful in ridding Sc,
lected areas of these small pests, and
plans are now being made to carry on
the work much more widely next
year.
The first experiments in this line
we're made in New Mexico by a stock
man who has since entered the forest
service. In 1901 DR.. c. Hart Merri-
am, chief Of the division Of biological
survey Of the department Of agricul-
tural. made report upon "The Pra-
irie Dog of the Great Plains" in
which the damage done by the dogs
vas pointed out, and various methods
Of poisoning them were suggested.
This report Of DR.. Merriam's may be
said to have blazed the way for prac-
tical work in prairie dog extermina-
ton.
Prairie dogs are very obnoxious to
the stockmen, for they devour much
grass and undermine the surface Of
the ground with their burrows. Where
they establish themselves the destruc-
ton Of the range is only question Of
time.
Range Improvement in national for
ests ls one Of the chief objections Of
regulating grazing. For this reason
the forest service is leaving no stone
unturned to prevent range deteriora-
tcin. stockmen who had suffered
heavily from the prairie dog pest were
solicitous to have the work taken UP.
and gladly offered to cooperate with
the service in furnishing men and
horses TO distribute the poison.
To ascertain what success could be
had IN riding considerable areas OF
the west, a selection was made Of
parts Of the Leadvllle and Pike ma,
tional forests which were badly in
tested. The region in these forests
upon which the dogs were located ag-
gregated 300 square miles or more.
In order to demonstrate the effec-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1908-08-26
POISONING PRAIRIE DOCS ON RESERVES

| tiveness of the work an area of some
so or rs thousand acres of actual
dogtown was selected for the test.
From so to 80 per cent of the dogs
were killed with the first distribution
of poison. 1t will be necessary to go
over the ground a second time and by
"spotting" the occupied holes the re,
naming dogs will easily be killed
with a very small amount of the
poisoning material. The average cost
per acre for the poisoning material
was only one and one-half cents, ana
even then it was found that more ma
te rial had been used than was neces-
sary.
The poison is prepared by coating
wheat with a preparation OF strych,
nine, cyanide of potassium, anlse OIL
and molasses. When a sufficient
quantity IS ready, the poisoned wheat
is carried to the field of operations.
There the stockmen supply men and
horses. the wheat is given out to the
riders, and distribution begins.
Each rider carries the wheat in a
tin pail supported by a gunny sack
slung across his right shoulder and
hanging at his left side. His left
hand is free for the reins. With his
right hand he uses a tablespoon to
measure out the poison and drop 1t
near the entrance Of the holes. A
little practice enables the men to
drop the wheat while keeping their
horses at sharp trot. By crossing
the town, to and fro, like a man
sowing grain, they can cover a large
area in a surprisingly short time.
The action Of the poison is almost
instantaneous. Most Of the prairie
dogs in town are dead within an
hour or two after the bait is dropped.
The work is considered to have
demonstrated the entire feasibility of
fighting the prairie dogs in this way.
1t was found, however, that to be
successful the poison must be scat
tered in the spring, when the dogs
first come out from their winter
quarters and before the green grass
is offered to appease their hungry
appetites.
Next spring the poisoning will be
undertakn much more extensivly.
stockmen and others who wish to try
the dog medicine on their own ac-
count can obtain the formula for It's
preparation and directions for its use
from the forest service.

ENGLISH LORD
is MORDECAI JONES

The Mordecai Jones place neal
euler, Wash. sold one day last week
for $4,000 to a pioneer resident Of
Portland H. McCracken. says al
item from The Dalles. Mr.. Jones is
a wealthy Welchman who owned sew.
en- hundred acres of valuable tim.
ber and orchard land between Trout
Lake and Husem, Washington.
He is'a. great disciple of the chase
and many are the bear and deer hides
that adorn his fine log mansion. He
had the heads of bear and deer
mounted. and he used them to deco
rate his walls.
Mr.. Jones owns five hunters, both
horses and dogs with which he chased
the bear, the grizzly. At one time
here he owned a hundred fox hounds
which greeted the visitor arriving at
his gates, with loud baying that was
almost deafening.
As a usual thing the dogs were
kept in an enclosure, and here they
were fed. 1t is said that feeding
time for the hounds was quite an
event, and worth seeing; hundred
dogs enjoying their meal, at one time,
is something not seen every day in
America.
Mr.. Jones and his wife were al
ways splendid entertainers at their
place known as Hunters Hill" and
many wayfarer has enjoyed their
English hospitality Just now Mrs.
Jones and sons are in England where
the latter are attending school, and
Mr.. Jones has just returned from an
extended hunting trip to Alaska.
Last spring a year ago, 1t was no
uncommon sight to see Mr.. and Mrs.
Jones and a party Of other hunters
out in the Trout Lake section, chas-
ing cross country after bear, accom-
panied by their trained hounds. Mrs
Jones is as enthusiastic a hunter as is
her husband, and the sound of the
horns when the game was brought to
lair. was musical, and quite English.
The people in this section will miss
Mr.. Jones when he shall have left for
good, as he is among them consld-
cred prince Of good fellows

To prevent the encroachments of
the sturdy lodge pole pine and to
eliminate this confer weed of the ma
tional forests so that its near rela-
ton, the valuable yellow pine Of
commerce, may have a chance to null
tiply, is the purpose of visit to Ore
gon by 7. T. Munger, an expert in
sylvics, especially detailed by the for
estry department to make an exhaus-
tive study Of the great Deschutes and
Fremont timber belts in central Ore
gon.
These forests comprise more than
1000 square miles of territory in a
strip 100 miles long by so miles wide.
Now practically overrun by the use
less lodge pole. II is the intention OF
the forestry department to replace
this timber with yellow pine which
will add millions of dollars to the vast
resources of the Beaver state.
Mr.. Munger is a graduate OF the
Yale forestry school. He has had
wide experience in the practical study
Of sylvics and was selected by the de-
partment at Washington for his
knowledge Of pine tree culture, to
make the investigation of conditions
in oregon.
As he has not as yet made any ex-
tensive research into the growing
timber in this state just how the de-
partment will carry out its plans
with regards to the propagation of
the commercial pine. He said:
Spend Three Months in Forests.
81 expect to be gone about three
months on my trip into the Deschutes
country and will in that time go over
the ground thoroughly. We are as
yet unable to say why lodge pole pine
should reproduce more rapidly than
other species. but it is probably due
in large part to forest fires which dry
out the ground and change the soil
so that the lodge pole variety is bet
ter adapted to the region in which
it is now crowding out other trees.
"The government expects to find
some way to improve conditions down
there by cutting the trees in a differ
ent manner. OF course it will take a
long time to bring about the change,
say so or 100 years, but Uncle SAM
is i'm the forestry business for all time
to come and he has become accustom-
ed to looking a long way ahead
"In the timber country east Of the
Mississippi, both in the Adirondacks
and the mountains of the south, we
find that after forest fires hardwood
trees, such as birch and others, re-
produce more rapidly than pine. We
have successfully solved the problem
OF eliminating the growth of these
and supplanting them with CONNER
cial timber and have no doubt that
we will be able to solve the lodge
pole pine problem in a satisfactory
manner also.
Lodge Pole Useful.
"This is the first time in the his
tory of the forest service that this
particular phase of sylvaculture has
been presented and consequently 1t is
hard to say just now what steps we
shall take to upbuild the forests in
this section.
"In Idaho and other parts of the
northwest the lodge pole pine grows
just as thickly as down here in Ore
gon, but in those districts the tree is
valuable for tagging and other pur-
poses, to the mining industry. SO
tho denartTnpnt does not worry over
