resulted instantly. Mrs. Wheatly re-

Y. W. c. A. Makes Close Race in
Emporium Festival Contest for
Large Sum.

Fine fruit that has been on display
at the fruit festival conducted by the
Emporium during the past several
weeks was sold at auction Saturday
evening, bringing excellent prices
Some of the finest fruit, including a
box of Arkansas Blacks, that brought
Sc. was sold at figures ranging from
So upwards. A plate of four Blue
Permain apples sold for 70 cents and
plate of five Rome Beauty apples
sold for so cents. Although the total
of sales was not figured up before the
store closed, it is estimated that over
$3.50 was realized. Twenty three
boxes of apples We're sold at an aver
age of $500 a box.
The proceeds of this sale went to the
salvation Army, as the winner in a
voting contest conducted by the store

Puzzled Experts.

Several months ago when physicians
practicing in Alameda and Contra
Costa counties reported scattered but
nevertheless unmistakable cases
among their patients, the plague ex-
perts on the coast were puzzled. In
lection could not have been spread
by rats, and a careful study OF the
stricken men deN eloped the fact that
none of them had paid a recent visit
to seaport towns.
But one significant fact developed
and that was that every one of the
seven infected with the characteristic
symptoms of the plague had either
eaten ground squirrels or killed them
for sport. From this clue. surgeons
have absolutely proven that the
Beechy ground squirrel is as dreaded
an agent of plague infection as the
rats of the seaboard.
Squirrels suffering from the disease
have been captured far inland from
the coast. incubation of healthy
animals with the bacilli of the bu-
bonic plague resulted in their death
from the disease.

INDIANS NAME
A HEAD CHIEF
CHARLES WESLEY THE CHOICE
Leading Men Of the Tribes Believe
That An Ambassador Should Be
Sent to Washington.

Indians on the Yakima Reservation
of all the head men or, in other words,
head chief This was agreed upon Sat
urday at a Well-attended council of
chiefs at the Olney home on the res
trvation It means that for the first
time in several years: in fact, since
the death of White Swan, there is on
the reservation a chief who is above
all other chiefs. This is important in
connection with the effort to have al
iotted lands signed up for the Wapato
project. That work has been greatly
hampercd by the fact that the Indians
of the reservation are so much divided,
Many Groups of Indians.
There are some 80 or more groups,
each with its own head man. and these
groups have not been united. AS q
matter of fact, it has appeared at
times that there was considerable In
dian politics afoot and that at times
when an agreement was likely, influe-
ences were brought to bear to prevent
il in order to keep any one chief from
gaining the ascendancy. Whether this
belief was true or not there will be a
great deal of pleasure among those
who have to do with the Indians that
at last paramount chief has been
decided upon.
No Ambassador Is Named.
No ambassador for the Indian peo-
Piles has been chosen as yet to make
the trip to Washington to present the
claims regarding the reservation
which the Indians set up. All the
letters and documents that such am
bassador will need to carry have been
prepared and are awaiting the final de-
cision on the matter. 1t is still the
opinion of the Indians that one or
more representatives with ambassa-
dOrial powers should be sent to the
national capital on reservation mat

Menacing Problem.

And so, now, the inland counties are
killing off the specter of grim death
that daily hovers over them. The
only solution of the problem lies in
killing off every squirrel in Alameda
and Contra Costa counties.
81 am going to Oakland" said DR..
Merriam, "to personally suvervise tho
campaign of determination which has
been decided upon. My plan now
it is only tentative, however-is to
isolate Alameda and Contra Costa
counties, where infected squirrels have

breaks among human beings as well
and kill off every squirrel in that ter
ritory.
fortunately, the two counties ara
bounded on three sides by water and
marshes on the southern boundary

greatest problem. My idea is to clear
a path, say a mile or more in width.
across the southern part of the pen
insua which is formed by the two
counties. Every bit of underbrush
which would shelter a squirrel should
be cleared away across probably 80
miles of territory. Then our men
would start from this cleared ground
northward killing off every squirrel
in their path. Not one should be al
lowed to escape"
Poisoning is the best means of eX-
terminating the squirrels, according
to the experts of the biological sur

teaspoonful. starch solution (medium

Mix the strychnine and saccharine
with the hot starch and stir until dis
solved. Add this to the grain and stir
until the poison is evenly distributed.
The starch should be thick enough

1t is thought by the plague experts
of the public health service that

spread infection to their kindred. and
so the germs have been carried in

The Beechy ground squirrel is a
small, vigorous animal. whose de-

the species to be put under the ban

cal survey has been poisoning thou

This il the note of warning sounded
today by DIR. G. Hart Merriam. chief
Of the biological survey of the depart

departure for California to fight the
grim disease. Already surgeons of

Dr. Merriam proposes to start the
campaign i'm the rural sections
In two counties of the state of CAL

These cases were all inland, showing
that the disease is no longer confined
