DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
Poisoning Ground Squirrels and GOphers IN
National Forests, California

Interesting results have just been
announced by the Forest service as the
outcome of the campaign conducted IN
southern California by Stanley E. Piper,
expert Of the biological survey OF the
Department of Agriculture, to extermi-
nate ground squirrels and gophers.
Extensive experiments were tried to
determine the best means of killing on
these destructive little animals, and it
was found most effective results were
obtained by using poisoned green or
ripening barley heads. The squirrels
are exceedingly fond of this green herb
age, and eagerly ate this poisoned food
placed along their runways. Tests were
also made with oats, wheat, barley, raj
sins, prunes, dried apples, and cracked
corn; but these did not prove so sue
cessful.
While green barley proved most sue
cessful for poisoning ground squirrels,
yet the difficulty of procuring a suifi-
cient supply in all localities led 10 dry
barley grain being tried. The grain
was treated with strychnine sulphate,
saccharine, and eggs; and though this
combination proved destructive to the
squirrels, it had practically no effect
upon doves and quail. In fact, delib-
crate attempt was made to poison these
birds at their watering places, but no
bad effect resulted. The poisoned grain
was also used in fields grazed over by
sheep, and produced no i'll effects
whatever.
The experiments also proved gophers
were partial to raisins and dried apples,
and these were successfully used in the
poison experiment. 1t was found by
sprinkling the apples or raisins with the
strychnine solution as effective results
were produced as could be obtained
by inserting the poison into the fruit.
The experiments for determination
of squirrels resulted in the death OF a
considerable number Of rabbits, and in
other experiments it was found that
poisoned oats proved effective in killing
both jacks and cottontails. Green alfalfa
was also used with good results for the
same purpose.

FOREST RANGER EXAMINATION
Will Be Held at Leavenworth Oct. rs and
26 to Fill Many Vacancies

An examination to fill vacancies in
the ranger force on all National Forests
in District will be held October 25
and 26. From this examination it is
expected that rs appointments will be
made on the National Forests in this
district.
The examination will be held at the
headquarters of each National Forest in
the district at the following places:
Ketchikan, Alaska; Eugene, Grants
Pass, Hepner, John Day, Lakeview,
Medford, Prineville, Portland, Rose
burg, Sumpter and Wallowa, Oregon;
and Bellingham, Chelan, Leavenworth,
Newport, Olympia, Orting, Republic,
Seattle and Walla Walla, Washington.
While the examination is entirely
along practical lines, and knowledge
of field conditions rather than book
learning is considered essential, the
opportunities for those applicants with
educational advantages are considerably
increased. The rapid development of
the National Forests is making con-
tinually increasing demands upon those
engaged in their management, and
men with ability to assume responsible
ity and serve in supervisory capacities
are in demand. These more respon-
sible positions on National Forests are
filed by promotion from lower grades,
so that anyone entering as ranger is
eligible for promotion to any of the
more responsible and higher paid
places, including that of Forest Super
visor.
Only those men who are at least 81
years of age. not more than 40, of good
character, temperate, and in good
physical condition, are eligible to take
this examination. The salary paid to
beginners is 5000 year.
Applicants can secure information
concerning the examination from the
District Forester at Portland, Oregon;
Forest Supervisors, or the United
States Civil Service Commission, Wash
ington, D. c.

Death of M. o. Tibbits

M. o. Tibbits breathed his last at S
o'clock Friday night, after an illness
lasting about six weeks. The death
was the result of a severe attack of
typhoid fever. Mr.. Tibbits has been
in very poor health for the past several
years and has been confined to his
home during a considerable portion of
the time. Prior to having taken
seriously sick, he spent several weeks
on his ranch above Cashmere, but
becoming i'll he was removed to his
home in Wenatchee where the end
came. The funeral was held Saturday
under the auspices of the Masonic
fraternity.
Mr.. Tibbits was a representative
citizen of the valley and was identified
with many of the enterprises tending
to the upbuilding OF this valley. He
was president of the proposed Big Red
Apple railway. He was also. president
of the Wenatchee Orchard Bond com
pany. He had a beautiful home in
Wenatchee and was an example of the
thrift and energy which has made this
valley one Of the most noted in the
world.

The Arlington mine is being man
aged by J. E. Stoolfre and the stock is
not on the market, the owners having
ample capital to push the development.
The latest strike is a forty-foot vein,
samples of which yielded sos per ton
in gold, silver and copper. Prepare
.tions are being made to increase the
force al the mine at an early day, and
building 20x40 to be used as a din
ing room will be erected. Plans have
also been drawn for an Office building
to be erected near the mine. Since
the report came in OF the rich strike,
large numbers from Conconully have
been out to visit the mine. and those
who are experienced in mining are
enthusiastic over the showing made

o. E. Kerstetter, forest ranger at
Liberty, reports Of gold find in the
Swauk last week on Jourdan and York S
claim, which those who claim TO know
say is the best ever made in the state.
Frank Johnson, A. F. Pork and others
have for weeks been finding float, but
not until last week was the ledge
located. The ledge is very rich one.
A rock about eighteen inches was
broken off and it proved to contain
more than $500 in gold. The strike
was made about one and a half miles
north OF Meaghersville. Several nice
pockets Of nuggets have been found in
this locality quite recently and it is
quite generally believed by old miners
that the long sought ledge has been
found. -Ellensburg Dawn.

Is your name Smith, If it is, you
are wanted at the Alaska Yukon Pac-
ifc exposition, September D, to take
part in the Smith Family Day festivities.
From high and low, from near and far,
the Smiths are coming. Seattle boasts
of several thousand, and the other
cities of the northwest are apparently
as strong in Smiths in proportion.
Unique Smiths Of all descriptions are
at premium and if you happen to be
Smith with some peculiarly all of
your own, you may be able to get
special inducements. Prizes will be
given to the oldest Smith, the young
est Smith, the prettiest young lady
Smith, the homeliest man Smith, and
SO on through the whole list OF unusual
members of the family. A warning
has been issued to all visitors at the
exposition to be explicit in speaking
to members of the Smith family on
that day. For example: If you have
a friend, Fred w. Smith, it will be
useless for you to attempt to attract his
attention by yelling Smith at him.
That might cause some three or four
hundred other Smiths to look around
to see if they were wanted, but your
chances on getting the right man
would be small. Instead, call out Fred
w. Smith, or better yet, collar the
man you want to speak to.

A.-Y.-P. EXPOSITION NOTES

Through the efforts Of the Seattle
Chamber Of Commerce in providing
accommodations for visitors, this city
claims the distinction of being the first
place to hold a Worlds Fair without
the attendant crowding and difficulty
in obtaining rooms. Although several
hundred thousand people will attend
the exposition from points outside OF
the city, over one hundred thousand
having arrived already, there has never
been any time when the room accom-
modations have not been ample to
take care of the crowd.

 FRACTURE OF ARM

GLOBE, Oct. 2s.-Postmaster Ralph Sturgis will return to Globe some time today with a badly fractured arm, the result of an accident which occurred short distance west of Roosevelt yesterday afternoon.
 Mir. Sturgis was among the Globe ties who assisted in welcoming Presi- dent Taft to Arizona in Phoenix. Since Taft Day he has been at the capital city. Yesterday in company with John Finletter and others, he left Phoenix bound for Globe in an automobile. The party stopped at Fish Greek yesterday afternoon, and whn they were ready to resume the journey Sturgis was delegated to crank" the machine. He lost his grip on the handle. and the crank, flying back. struck him on the arm, which was badly fractured.

CLOTH|ER HAS WRITTEN
 CONCERNING MEETS

DOUGLAS. Oct 29.-(Special.)-
 Secretary Grindell of the Chamber of Commerce and Mines is in receipt of a letter from Professor Clothier in regard to the proposed farmers in stitute here. In this letter Professor Clothier states that he proposes to deliver lectures at Wilcox and several points in the Sulphur Springs valley and will be glad to deliver several lectures here as well, fixing the first week in December as the probable time for his visit and promising to let the secretary hear from him more definitely in the immediate future.
 The proposed institute with ad- dresses by such competent and in teresting speaker as is Professor Clo- thier. should be of particular inter- est and benefit to the farmers of this vicinity. Undoubtedly the opportun- ity to hear him and glean all possi- ble information from him will be eag- erly embraced by them.
 In addition to his visit and the institute, everything points to an ex- cellent poultry show, better than had been expected and what should prove

WOMANPRESENTS ADVERTISING
 CASE

TUCSON, Oct 29.--In the case of Annie Schnur, Russian Jewess, who was arrested at Phoenix and brought to this city Friday evening by In- speetor Chas. Cornell, the immigra- tion authorities have one involving an interesting status of the federal laws on immigration The woman. who is charged with being in tAs country illegally. by practicing immor- ality within three years after en- trance, had hearing yesterday after noon, the testimony to be sent to the department of commeres and labor at Washington and decision in the ease to be made by the department officers there.
 The Schnur woman was represent ed by Attorney Benton Dick at the hearing, According to the testimony the woman had been resident of Fl Paso for over three years, when she crossd the boundary line, into Mexi- co, where she was married. She was permitted to return by the immigra- ton authorities at Fl Paso and was not molested until Inspector Conneu placed her in custody at Phoenix. Mir. Dick contends that as she had married an. American citizen and had lived three years in this country prior to the marriage, that she was there fore herself, entitled to that citizen ship, but the fact that she left the United States, on the occasion of her marriage, waived all right to citizen ship. Having left the country, even for a few hours in Juarez, her three years residence no longer counted and the time of her actual residence here, as the law sees it, began when she returned from Juarez. She had been in the United States but a short time when she began immoral prac- tices and for that reason she was ar rested and held as an immoral alien It is probable that the woman will be deported.
 Another hearing was conducted be fore the immigration authorities yes terday, it being that of A. Henita, ac- cused of bringing a Mexican woman, Anita Romero into this country for immoral purposes, Herita will be held to answer to the United States
 grand jury and it Is likely that the

COUNTRY CLUB ID CELEBRATE AT

 The Douglas Country club Is aI'- preaching the second anniversary Of what might be termed its birth, the opening of the club house, which DC cured on Thanksgiving day two years ago. On that day the final round of the club championship viii be played and, in addition to this oth- CT plans for a birthday celebration may be expected to mature, and a dance in the evening is talked of.
 In two years I the Douglas Country club has grown to be not only one of the most popular, but also one oi the best institutions in all other ways. which has eyer been known in Doug las. Its progress has been remark able and 1t has never faltered or tar ried on its journey to success. What it is today all Dougles knows and at this time a little in retrospect on the clGb is not inappropriate.
 It is less than three years ago that the idea of a country club was first preached in Douglas. The idea orig mated with H. T. Cuthbert It was taken up by J. P. Sexton and others and when once it was preached to $. W. French he at once became it's most hearty advocate. and to him IS due most of the credit for its organ ization in the face of business de pression and its safely riding the waves of the outgoing tide of gen eral prosperity and its safe pilotage into the harbor of success, for it is he who is at the helm now, and has been at the helm from the outset.
 The Country club is valuable as set to Douglas. As an advertisement it has brought and is bringing re- suits, all visitors believe it a credit to the city and appreciate its attract iveness. It has accomplished much good In other ways, in business as well as in social life and nearly sv- cry employer in the city, who em- ploy men of the class to which the Country club appeals. declares that from these employees he now obtains far better results than he did before the club came into existence.
 Under these circumstances the coming of a second birthday to the club is an event of interest not only to the members but to the general public of the city

PIONEER TELLSOF HE EARLY
 TIMES

GLOBE, Oct 2S.-It is worth ones while to discuss the early days of Globe and Arizona with E. F. Kellner, when that gentleman is in a reminis- cent mood. MT. Kellner came to Arizona and New Mexico many years ago-came years before the stiffness nof the desert ever echoed to the sound of the whistle of the engine, a time
 when nerve and courage were the cap ital requisite to build up a business in those far away days. That the pioneers love to refer to, love to look back into the misty times of the past, and let their minds travel down the momentous years intervening. "Sev- eral years ago" quoth MT. Kellner.
