Among many methods which have
been suggested for the eradication Of
that worst Of all weed pests, quack
grass, Is that Of fencing on portions Of
the infested area and turning hogs
into IT with no rings in the nose. 1t is
claimed that hogs are very fond Of the
rather fieshy roots Of the grass and
will keep at work at the roofing bust
ness until all the grass is killed out
While the plan might not be success
full or practicable over large areas, 1t
Is at least worth a trial by those who
have the quack grass problem on their
hands.

World End.

That the world is in great dan
ger of being destroyed this win
ter by a collision with Halley's
comet, and that this catastrophe
is what Jesus Christ had in mind
when he predicted the destruc-
ton of the world with fire, is the
startling assertion made by Rev.
Father M. Charropin, S. j., of
St. Louis university, one of the
greatest astronomers living.
For Is years Father Charropin
has made close study of the
periodic visits into our solar
system of great comets and o1
the probable dangers to this
earth. But he has studied his
bible with equal diligence, ano
now he comes forward with the
emphatic assertion that such
fiery ending is precisely wha
the Savior meant when he fore
told the wretched doom of the
earth. He does not conceal hi:
acceptance that we will speedil,
end our days in a tremendou
pyrotechnic display.
Halley's comet will be visible
to the naked eye next month.

The P. & G. railroad survey
ors have at this time more than
half completed their permanent
survey between Challis and Clay
ton, and now the stakes are set
beyond the Nick johnson ranch.
They are keeping close to Sal
mon river to get a water grade.
They found a higher per cent
grade between Challis and the
Bayhorse bridge. than between
Salmon City and Challis. The
survey crosses Salmon river near
the Mock wheel, and will prob
ably follow up the south side OF
the river to Clayton.
The report that 15-mile grad
ing contract had been let from
Salmon City this way, so far has
neither been confirmed or deny
ed. In this valley the survey is
fully 2 miles from Challis, and
unless inducements are made
and the road is run nearer town,
an opposition town is very liable
to be started in the valley, at
Challis creek, or at Small's or
Tewalt's ranch, or at the Jenson
bridge. although the valley is
not large enough to support two
good towns. Another town will
probably be built at the mouth Of
Pahsamaroi. The survey here
runs through ranches and in few
places would mira duck, by
running it up on the bar neal
town they would have a sole
roadbed with little expense, al
though the grade may be slight
Ily higher. And they would have
no righ- -of-way to purchase, be
sides the town will give them al
the yard and depot grounds the.
want. Our people should TAX
this matter up with the hea'
officials as soon as possible.

Struck It RI6|l.


James B. Short, formerly of
Challis, and we'll known in Gus
ter county, informs US that few
days ago made a rick strike in
his mines, of which he holds a
one fourth interest, near Mullan,
Idaho, and has been offered for
the property $3.50, 900.
He says lead and silver ore in
paying quantities was struck on
the property of the Butte and
CHur d'Alene Mining company
last week. The property is To-
Gated between the Hunter and
Snowstorm claims, in Gentle An
ME gulch, two and one-half miles
east of Mullan, Idaho.
The vein was located by sink
ing a 2OO-f foot shaft from the
main crOsscuG tunnel and drift
ing back into the mountain 10
feet. Prospecting has been un-
der way for some time at an ex-
penditure to date of $50, 900.
Among the heaviest stockhold-
ers in the mine are: State Sena-
tor Peter McGregor, L. G. Linn.
Postmaster w. P. Edris, r. G.
Dillingham;, Peter Nelson, O. c.
Strong and F. c.. Robinson of
Spokane, and James b. Short. OF
Mullan, who is the manager of
the property.

Work Has Again Started on the Big
Salmon River Canal.

Last week work was again re-
sumed on the big irrigating can
al in Round Valley, on the east
side of Salmon river by the pro-
mOters, Messrs. Truitt, Kilg0fe,
Lane and Hunter, and it is now
the intention of the company to
keep at work till the ditch is
completed, and by the 18th of
May next year, they expect to
be able to furnish water to the
land owners direct from Salmon
river, which has an abundant
supply, and the main ditch is of
a capacity large enough to con-
vey all the water that will ever
be needed.
Last summer work was com
menced portion of the canal
was dug, bit work ceased two
months ago for various reasons.
Mr.. Truitt has returned and is
again in charge. AS there is
considerable rock work to be
done, in fact it is necessary te

point rocks near Mock's ranch
on the south bank of the river
this work can be accomplished
this winter, and next spring a.

The track work on the Gilmore

idly on Horse Prairie, says the
Dillon Tribune. Ties and steel
are now laid to point near the
Hamilton ranch and track laying
is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. The track laying op-
erations are being advanced at
the rate of about 4 niles per day
and it is expected that the track
will be laid through the tunnel
at the top of the divide by Nov
ember 25th.
While this work is being pros
ecuted with all possible haste,
the surfacing gang is also push
ing the work of completing the
road bed over that part of the
road where the ties and steel are
in place. The surfacing mater
ial is being taken from the big
gravel pit near Armstead, where
steam shovel loads it on to the
cars, and it is then hauled ou'
and dumped along the roat
where needed.
Two new locomotives arrived
