PRAIRIE DOGS TO BE POISONED.
Coated Wheat Is to lie Fed to Enemy
of Farmers in The West.

Poisoned wheat is to be used as bait to
kill off the prairie dogs, the stockmen's
enemy, that now infest Arizona and New
forest ranges there. On ranch lands prai-
RE dogs have been destructive to wheat,
grain, potatoes and sugar beets; while
on grazing lands they destroy so much
grass that the grazing capacity of the
land is reduced to 10 per cent. Last
spring a successful campsia was waged
against the prairie dog and this year 1t
will be conducted on a larger scale. The
poison is prepared by coating the wheat
with a preparation Of strychnine, cyanide
of potassium, anise oil and molasses.

OLD SONGS ARE BEST.

Old songs are best, whose tender play
OF lit and cadence, sad or gay,
Brings back with sudden loss and pain
Old thought, old fields, old summer rain
So near, and yet SO far away.
Once more the quickened pulses sway
To subtle things that would not stay,
And murmur like lost refrain
Old songs are best.
The lure of moonlit nights in May,
The light that on far hill-tops lay,
Strange dreams that thronged an eager
brain.
Lost faces in a ghostly train,
Wake with forgetful tunes, and say
Old songs are best

MAY SHUT DOWN LID.
New Mayor of GAINESVILLE Said to
Favor Strict Enforcement If Laws.

Whether GAINESVILLE is to be a tight
town in the future remains to be seen.
Wilbur L. Carlo. the newly elected mayor,
has stated that his platform will be ODE
dience of the law. This may be taken to
mean that all will be tight after he takes
Office and it may mean that he will be
lenicnt. The saloon interests who bitter
ly opposed him at the election are most
anxious to learn his intentions. but from
the fact that he was endorsed by the
anti-Saloon element leads the liquor men
to fear stringent enforcement of the
law. Mr.. Carte has giveI no hint as to
what he intends but it is probable James
Vile viii be a dry town outside of the

STOCK MARKET

A strong upward raise was felt in
the market yesterday and at the clos

had advanced from l to So points.
AS usual, Tonopah Mining was the
feature and closed SIS points to the
good over Saturdays closing. Mon
tana and Belmont each took little
flyer and closed points higher than
Saturdays quotations. Midway caus-
ed little surprise by making an
advance of points, and it is thought
to be due to the extensive work now
under way in that mine. West End
and MacNamara both went up l
point.
Brokers are of the opinion that the
raise is one of sympathy and caused
by the big advance in Tonopah Min

call for the smaller priced stocks.

even carry their policies so far that
they send to eastern roads for their

they want western patronage. 1t
would be nothing but justice for the

they should go there for their traffic.
