Nez Perez Prairie

Lewiston, Idaho, May 29.-Land
hungry people will have an oppor-
tunity to participate in an "Okla-
homa Rush" in July. when 1000
acres of the finest land on the Nez
Perez prairie will be thrown open
to settlement. The land was with
drawn by the secretary of the In
terror on December, 81, 1897, to
place it in the Nez Perez Indian
timber reservation, but Secretary
of the Interior R. f. Ballinger has
ordered its. release and it will be
open to settlement on July and
on July 81. Ballinger's order was
received at the local land Office
late this afternoon.
No settlement will be allowed
prior to July l. The land is worth
from $40 to $50 an acre and owing
to its high value an unprecedented
rush, similar to those seen when
Oklahoma was settled is expected.
The land lies on Nez Perez prairie
around Forest, Russell and various
mall towns on and near Craig
mountain.
The tracts subject to entry on
July 1 are described as follows:

A Peer Of Old King Soloman

1t would see to the casual obser-
yer, that since feminine invasion
into the circles Of business woman is
not properly appreciated. In the
telephone business she has the
opportunity-and she occasionally
improves on it, too-of learning
more than an average Pinkerton
man. If you have never stopped
to think of this gentle reader, Just
casually scan the following inspi-
ration which we have taken from
an exchange;
The telephone girl sits still in her
chair
And Listens to voices from every
where;
She hears all the gossip, she hears
all the news;
She knows who is happy and who
has the blues;
She knows all our sorrows, she
knows all cur joys;
She knows every girl who is chas-
ing the boys;
She knows of our troubles. she
knows OF our strife,
She knows every man who talks
mean to his wife;
She knows every time we are out
with "the boys"
She hears the excuses each fellow
employs;
She knows every woman who has q
dark past,
She knows every man who's in
clined to be FAST"
In fact there's a secret meath each
saucy curl
OF that quiet, demure looking tele-
phone girl.
II the telephone girl would tell all
that she knows
1t would turn all our friends into
bitterest foes:
She would SOW a small wind that
would soon be gale,
Engulf us in trouble and land US
in Jail;
She could let 20 story (which
gaining in force)
Would cause half our wives to sue
for divorce;
She could get all the churches mixed
up in fights
And turn all our days into sorrow
ing nights;
In fact, she could keep the whole
town in a stew
II she'd tell a tenth part of the
things that she knew,
Oh, brother, now doesn't it make
your head whirl
When you thing what you owe to
the telephone girl?

OF a Famous Human Food.

The story OF the great discoveries
or inventions is always of interest.
An active brain worker who found
himself hampered by lack of bodily
strength and vigor and could not carry
out the plans and enterprises he knew
how to conduct, was led to study va
rious foods and their effects upon the
human system. In other words. be-
fore he could carry out his plans he
had to find food that would carry
him along and renew his physical and
mental strength.
He knew that a food which was a
brain and nerve builder (rather than
a mere fat maker) was universally
needed. He knew that meat with the
average man does not accomplish the
desired results. He knew that the
soft gray substance in brain and
nerve centers is made from Albumen
and Phosphate of Potash obtained
from food Then he started to solve
the problem.
Careful and extensive experiments
evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous
AooAs IL Conldihc lAC DAdlu anu nerve
building food elements in condition
for easy digestion.
The result Of eating Crape-Nuts
daily is easily seen in a marked sturdi-
ness and marked activity Of the brain
and nervous system. making it a
pleasure for one to carry on the daily
dutbes without fatigue or exhaustion.
Grape-Nuts food is in no sense a
stimulant but is simply food which
renews and replaces the daily waste
of brain and nerves.
It's favour is charming and being
fully and thoroughly cooked at the
factory it is served instantly with
cream.
The signature Of the brain worker
spoken OF. G. w. Post, is to be seen on
each genuine package Of Grape Nuts.
Look in pkgs. for the famous little
book. "The Road to Wellville."
There's a reason"

OVERRUN BY
PRAIRIE DOGS
Forest Service to Run Them Out
OF Southwest.

In cooperation with the stockmen
the United States forest service has
begun an active campaign against prai-
RE dogs on the infested ranges within
the national forests of Arizona and
New Mexico, says the Austin Daily
Statesman. Successful attempts at
poisoning prairie dogs were made last
spring and summer by the forest serv-
ice in other parts of the country, and
this year the work viii be carried on
much more extensively.
The poison used to put an end to
these little pests of the western ranges
is prepared by coating wheat with a
preparation of strychnine, cyanide of
potassium. anise oil and molasses The
stockmen supply horses and men and
the poisoned wheat is given out by the
government officers for distribution
upon ranges within the national forest
areas. Each rider carries the wheat
in a tin pail supported by a gunny
sack slung across his shoulder One
hand is free for the reins and with the
other the rider uses a teaspoon to
measure out the poison in bats and
drop it near the entrance Of the holes.
The action of the poison is almost
instantaneous. Most of the prairie
dogs in a town are dead within an
hour OF two after the bait is dropped.
Early last month $500 pounds of
wheat was prepared in Albuquerque,
~ NJ. and shipped to the various ma
tional forests in Arizona and New
Mexico to be distributed. This guam
tity of wheat will make approximately
6.02Q000 bats, which viii clear up an
area of from $1,000 to 10000 acres at
a cost. exclusive of the labor of dis
tributing it on the ranges Of about one
to IL cents an acre.
The poison is used to best advao-
tage in the early spring, when the dogs
first come out Of their winter quarters
and before the green grass is plentiful
enough to appease their appetites.

two feet from the ground. using trap
doors from the floor to the ground in
order to keep the wind from blowing
under and lowering the temperature
of the house during the cold weather.
The most economical construction
is house built five feet from the
door to the cave in front (the south
side) and from six to eight feet on the
north side. Houses with a roof of this
style are naturally very hot in sum-
mer, but if built high on the south
side it will be found almost impossible
to get satisfactory alley in the
building. For this reason a building
that is twelve to fourteen feet wide
and six feet from the floor to the cave
and from eight to nine feet from the
floor to the ridge, leaving the loft free
from floor to roof, is most satisfactory.
A house such as this with capacity
for 200 pairs should cost about $3.50
per pair, including the cost of fly,
nests, water fountains. etc.
The partitions between the lofts
should be tightly boarded to the tops

WHAT DRY
FARMING MEANS
Term. Much Misunderstood. De-
notes Constant Working
Of Soil.

In all the discussion Of the term
dry farming much misunderstanding
exists. says Review Of Reviews. AT
the recent congress there was an at
tempt to change the organization
name to Arid Farming Congress" In
simple phrase it means a method of
farming that shall not include deep
blowing and frequent pulverizing OF
the top soil out of as well as during
the growing season. 1t is based on
the principle that the moisture falling
in rain or snow may sink into the
earth If the soil be loosened. Then
what there shall be kept above that
moistened bed a close, fine blanket of
dust that shall prevent evaporation.
If the burrows be turned at right
angles to the prevailing winds of win
ter, the snow may be caught, and If
the pulverizing harrow be sent over
the field after every rain. the seed is
certain to receive a maximum amount
Of sustenance If it does not get
enough in one season it may In two,
and a crop every alternate year, if a
good one, is ample return on cheap
land. OF course there must be good
soil as a basis-only irrigation can
conquer sand.
To accomplish all this special ma
chinery has come into use. Horses
could not pull plows biting deep into
the tough ceDuries-dried soil, so pow.
