DOG WAR

Custer City, Okla, Aug. 24.-Infor-
nation was received here from Wash
ington today that DR.. C. Hart Merri-
am, Of the Department Of Agriculture.
Is planning to wage aggressive war
fare upon the prairie dogs in the sec
ton and in the northwestern part Of
the state where the ravages Of the lit
tie pests have been most telling. The
news has been welcomed by the stock
men, who say the prairie dog is a
most obnoxious 'eitizen" inasmuch as
the undermine the surface Of the
ground with their burrows and If left
unmolested the destruction of the
range is only matter Of time. The
method of disposing Of the prairie
dogs is by poisoning them. Men on
horseback are sent out, who have pre-
Viously been provided with a pail con
tanning poison and by crossing the
towns" to and fro like man sowing
grain they cover large area in a
surprisingly short time The action
Of the poison is almost instantaneous
Most of the prairie dogs in a town
are dead within an hour or two after
the bait has been dropped. Several
well known horsemen and cattlemer
of this section have volunteered tC
assist DR.. Merriam in his campaign
of determination, while others vii
watch the experiment with interest.

FORT SILL

Lawton, Okla, Aug. 24.-PrepaFa.
tions for converting Fort Sin into the
greatest military post in America are
now being made, and within the Year
an entire division Of soIdiery win be
located here. 1t is the plan Of the
government to keep at the post about
10000 horses for cavalry remount and
for artillery use. The advantage Of
the move to farmers Of this section
cannot be estimated as it will fur
nish a ready market for all the food
stuffs they can raise. Just now some
interesting experiments are going on
at the fort with a new three-inch gun,
conducted by Captain Ordway. The
target is a company Of dummy sol
diers placed mile distant. A schrap-
mel shell, timed to the fraction Of a
second. is used, and 1t is not infre-
quent that at the first discharge the
dummies are landed in a heap Some
Of the gunners at the fort are said
to have become so expert in handling
the cannon that they can fire shell
over a mountain top and land the pro
iectile in washtub on the other side
The location of the tub is first ascer-
tanned by a lookout stationed on the
mountain, who uses a portable tele
phone outfit to communicate with the
gunner, and then by mathematical
calculation the exact range is found
Another interesting feature is the
night practice in gunnery which is be
ing conducted. A shot is fired from
and when the shell strikes the eartl
the bursting develops a bright ligh
which burns with the brilfiancy 0
an arc electric lamp, for several min
utes. A few nights ago the gunner,
bombarded the distant mountain will

surrounding country was startling t

Fury To Flames.
One OF the most disastrous fires that
has ever occurred in Florence in sew
eral years broke out in the Coast Line
yards between the old passenger sta
tion and the coal shute this afternoon
at O'Clock. The alarm was sent in As
soon as possible after the flames were
discovered and the fire department
responded aud did noble work but in
spite OF this the flames spread RAPIDLY
and soon the whole wood yard, four
box cars and three fat. cars we're in a
light blaze. The wind was blowing at
the rate OF about 80 miles an hour
and this added fury to the mad
flames and at one time it looked as if
the fire was going sweeping on down
to the transfer yards in spite of every
thing that could be done.
Had the fire department been de-
layed any length of time with such a
big wind blowing from the north west
the damage would no doubt have been
appalling as it would have been i'm.
possible to stop the FIRE from spread
ing to the transfer yards where there
are several hundred loaded cars res t
ing on the side tracks.
Inc shop boys got out their depart.
mont aud fell in on the north s;do
with the city boys on the south side
and it was only after several hours of
hard and hot work they succeed in
checking the flames. Several engines
we're also damaged more or less and
the entire loss is estimated at $1,000
or probably more. The fire started
from the wood pile and it is supposed
snat the wood pile caught from a
spark from all engine. Florence

out. Friends OF the administration are
working hard to amend the naval bill

cial moment comes.
