Rats Board Bill a WhOpper.

1t costs the American people $780,
100000 yearly in grain alone to feed
the rat. This is only one of the
many interesting facts cleaned from
statement prepared by the experts
of the biological survey of the de-
partment of agriculture entitled "The
Rat Problem"
Untold millions are destroyed eve
ry year by the rat, which is also the
principal agent in the dissemina-
ton of bubonic plague. The pests
bill of fare includes almost every
thing eaten by man, and consider
able number of things not included
in human dietaries, as, for instance,
carrion, mice, kid gloves, ivory and
living horses hoofs. Its most COM
mon food is grain. If fed on grain
alone it is estimated that one rat
will eat 60 cents worth a year, while
of oatmeal it will consume $3.50
worth.
The rapidity with which rats null
tiply is the main reason why man APP
pears to make so little Roadway in
their destruction. 1t is calculated
that single pair of rats and their
progeny, breeding without Interrupt
ton and suffering no losses, would in
three years increase to more than
20,000,000.

DOUGLAS NEWS NO1E ES
 FROM DoUoLAs INTERNATIONAL
LINEUP OF HOSE
 TEAM DECIDED UPON

The Douglas hose team is "iayin' low and ain't sayin' nothin'" but if anyone thinks because of their lack of hullabaloo that they have ever contemplated the possibility of the Kreuder cup leaving Douglas. as a result of the forthcoming hose races at Bisbee. that person needs a berth at Matteawan or some other nice quiet resort for the mentally def1- cient.
 The way the local teams gets out in the early evenings in front of the Hotel Gadsden and tears up the slag dust is something that would be pain full for those Pisbee fellows to look upon. True, now and then they fail on a connection and sometimes they are not as fast as they are at other times. but if they don't return from Bisbee with the Tombstone trophy again in their sack. then-well. somebody will have been proved mis- taken.
 With Shelton c. Dowell managing the business end of the team and Win Y. Hotchkiss explaining the bunch. these are the fellows who are expected to maintain the supremacy of Douglas as hose cart sprinters:
 Grover Davis. spike; Barnett and Jones, first swing; Leonard and Tom Rice, second swing; Doran and Hotchkiss. tongue men; Willie liar ris and Roy Reed, nozzle men; VII liam Thompson. hose puller; Robert Arthur, plug man; Cook and Kelly, substitutes

DYNAMITE BLOWS
 WORKMAN 20 FEET

While inspecting a charge Of dya- mite that he had touched off some minutes before but which haid failed to explode, Marion Domino. young American workman about e4 years of age, employed at the Roosevelt dam, was blown twenty feet or more over a cliff and badly injured about the head and may lose the sight or one or both his eyes.
 Leaving Roosevelt in an antomo- bile. he vas brought to Phoenix and was taken to the St. Joseph hospital where hes injuries were dressed oy Drs. Martin, Palmer and Watkins. The injured man did not lose con- sciousness but suffered great pam. The physicians believed that one eye is destroyed and the other may be affected. It will be several weeks before he will be able to leave the hospital.
 Domino was engaged in blasting rock and had properly placed the charge and lighted the fuse. After waiting what seemed a due length of time and the charge not exploding he went back to inspect it. Just as he stopped over the dynamite exploded and he received the full force of the charge in his face and on his right hand.
 His face was lacerated by fine rock and badly powder burned and will be permanently disflgured So great was the force of the explosion that his scalp was literally torn apart from the forehead to the top of the skull and laid open. His eyelids were torn to shreds. His right hand was torn and the muscles lacerated. For some time after the accident the young man was unable to recall how 1t happened, but today told the phy sicians the circumstances.
 Where the young man came from originally or where his relatives re side could not be learned this after noon. He had been employed at the dam for some time.
