Following closely upon the death
of Chas. Schmid, came the news of

a year or more. Fred, as he was
familiarly called by every one, and
he was known by nearly every man
woman and child In Bear Lake
county, was, up to a year ago, a
hearty and robust man, and always
greeted his friends with smile and
some expression of good cheer.
Fred Grunig came to this country
from his home it Switzerland in
1885. He stopped in Nebraska for
two years and came to Montpelier
in October, 1887, where he bad re-
sided ever since. He worked at
his trade, that of a butcher, until
about eight years ago, when he
openeo a market of his own in the
upper part of town. By hard work
and strict application to business,
he had built up good trade, ac.
quired comfortable home, and was
just getting in a position where he
could enjoy the fruits of his labor,
when he was stricken with the
malady which resulted in his death
just at the prime of life, he having
passed his 47th birthday last June.

Forest Service Construct
ing Line from Mont
pelier to the Gray's
Lake Country.

Supervisor Smell of Caribou For
est reserv, is here this week looking
after business in connection with
the reserve. Mr.. Smell informed
an Examiner representative that the
forest service is now constructing a
telephone line from Montpelier to
Gray's Lake, distance of about s5 4
miles. Two crews of about ten
men each are at work on the line
and they hope to have 1t completed
TO the Blackfoot Stock Co.'S ranch
before winter sets In. Next season
the line will be extended from the
aforesaid ranch up Lanes creek to
Wayan and on to Lyon, OH the
South Fork of the Snake river, a
total distance of 100 miles from
here. Phones will be installed at
each forest rangers station along
the line, which will also be connect
ed with central Office IN Montpelier.
The forest service is bearing the
entire expense of installing this line,
which will be about $4,000.
Mr.. Smell also informed the writer
that the forest department has just
recently completed the transplant
ing of 5000 young trees on the
Georgetown water shed, short dis
tance above the Bear Lake Power
Co.'S plant. The trees, which came
from the Salt Lake nursesy, are
known as "three year trsns-plants"
and consisted of Douglas fir or red
pine and western yellow pine.
There is no yellow pine on the Carl
bou reserve and this specie is being
set out as an experiment. Next
spring, Mr.. Smell said, about 5000
more young trees would be planted
in the same vicinity, and at the end
of the next Eve years about $1,000
trees will have been planted on the
. Caribou reserve.

ing stage in winter. Hence, our
efforts must be devoted to controll-
ing the younger stages. Where
field is heavily infested, it is adVis
able to cut the first crop very early,
In fact when it is not over half
grown. Under no circumstances
should an injured field be allow ed
to stand without cutting, since this
will simply mean the coming to ma
turity of immense numbers of the
weevil Immediately after the re-
moval of the hay, and this should
not be allowed to lay on the ground
any longer than necessary for cur
ing, the field should he heavily disc
ed and cross-disced, and then gone
over immediately with leveller.
The young worms are very frail,
have no feet, and make their way
but slowly back TO the plants. The
discing will knock off practically all
of those that have reached the plauts,
crush large numbers of then, bury
many in the soil, and. suffocate
others. The object In using the
leveller is to create sufficient dust
mulch To cause the death of the
worms. All insects breathe throtgh
openings on the side of their bod ;es,
and any thing which will cover these
openings will suffocate them in a
short time. The rough treatment
accorded the larvae by the dlscing
and levelling, will be sufficitnt &c
kill very large percen age. The
field should then be irrigated, and
everything possible done to stimu

crop. 1t is well, even if hut few
larvae are seen in field to carry
out this same treatment after the

There are a few other MINOR mean
which should be used in connection
