his in the death of Gerald Eaton
Holmes, son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. r.
Holmes, of this city. Gerald's entire
ife Of IA brief ye rs, months and

md his death is a shadow felt by
The entire community. His bereav-
I'd father, mother, sister and brother
IRE comforted in their sorrow by the
;ender memories OF his beautiful
ife. Among the most conspicuous
rats of his character was his genial,
generous, loving nature which made
iim a universal favorite among the
'oung people and he also had the
'are quality of companionship that
endeared him to older people
I 10 that 1t is we | said of him
None knew him but to love him,
Nor named him but to praise"
During his late illness his fortitude
inder great suffering was most
wonderful. He also showed at all
lines the most tender solicitude for

waited on him Sd lovingly and faith

This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb OF the life elysian
Whose portal We call death.
He is not dead-the child of our

But gone un'o that school,
Where he no longer needs our poor
protection
And Christ himself doth rule.
In that great cloister's stiffness and

safe from tenn tation, safe from

He lives whom we call dead"

DEATH RECORD.

The funeral OF Gerald Holmes, who

the very heart cords OF the entire
community.
The altar, pulpit and organ were
fairly bantei with beautiful flowers
and sp erb wreaths nearly covered

conducted the services, preaching
l sympathetic sermon. Beautiful
hymns were sung by union choir

WAR ON PRAIRIE DOGS
TO BE CONTINUED IN 1910

Missoula, Sept. 6.-The govern
nent's work in poisoning prairie dogs
On infested stock ranges in this
National Forest district has had re-
suits this year which forest officers
lave decided warrant its continuance
IN 1910. For two years systematic
efforts upon an extensive scale have
cen made by the Forest Service In
cooperation with the stockmen, to
id the National Forest range in
Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico
1f these pests. but this work was not
Undertaken in thu Northwest until
the spring of 1909.
Elstern Montana and the Dakotas
ieem to be the worst-infested portion
If this district. The National Forest
lreas OF these regions are compara-
lively small, but in some instances
colonies or towns of these animals
cover an area OF several hundred
lcres and the native forage plants
Iave been greatly injured, while some
ange areas outside the forests have
,een practically devastated.
In the spring OF the pre- sent year
;mall allotmen.s of funds were made
the supervisors OF the Custer and
Sioux National Forests for the pI'
ose OF starting this work. The funds
we're for the most part exp snded in
ur,hasing strychnine and other drugs
Ised in preparing grain for bat.
While the grain was furnished by
he settlers.
The poisoned grain, usually wheat
vas distributed at the holes through
out the dog towns. both by fore st
offi -eIs and by forest users. More

The plan of oo2ecation than had
been anticipa ed and much of the
bait was put out too late to obtain
he best results, though several
arge dog towns were entirely clean
ed up. Experience hes proven that
the grain should be put out very
early in the spring-in fact, just as
soon as the finals appear from
their winter quarters, for the best re
suits may be o,tained before green
grass becomes available.

as guests of the Portland Commercial
club. So highly pleased were they
that the excursi 1nists passed a reSo-
luton of thanlis to their entertainers
and spoke in very high terms of the
country inspected. Since the VISIT
ors are hard headed scientists VINO
are not given to making unwarrant-
ed statements, their opinions for the
Northwest and its future in agrlcui-
ture may be taken seriously. These
were nothing short OF glowing. The
fertile soil; the favorable climate;
organization and intelligence of the
farmers here and their sIcceSS1ul
methods. and rich opportunity for
those who undertake agriculture III
this favored section of the country,
all were spoken of by the visitors
/ Their favorable opinion is certain to
be productive OF much good for
these men are in touch with large
numbers of farmers who are looking
for new location, as well as thous-
ands of students who are studying
scientific agriculture and who are on
the lookout for oil farm lands.
The Senate irrigation committee is
in Portland this week inquiring into
the conditions of irrigation in the
Northwest. Arriving Tuesday morn
ing, the visitors are expected to re-
main here a da,, and sessions at
which inquiries will be made will
probably be he'd in the auditorium
of the Commercial club. While here

President Taft, who comes to Port
land October 2, has been induced to
cut out a golf glme that had been
planned for him here and make a
public address 50 that his admirers
here may haze an opportunity to
helr him SPEAK. 1t was first arrang-
ed to have the big Pre- 'ident kept
somewhat in se3lusion, appearing
only at banquet that could be at
tended by a limited number. 1t now
appears thu in addition to making
a public address at the Armory on
the afternoon of Oc ober 2, he will
lay the corne stone of the First
Universalist church on the following
day.
The coming visit OF the President
has been the cause of new record
being set for Oregon fruit. Some
admirer has purchased two prize
boxes of Winter Banana apples from
a Hood River orchard, paying $25
per box for them and will prese 1t
them to the nations executive. As
the apples viii run about 80 to the
box, the buyer will spend about 70
cents for each ple, a price never
before, so far as known, paid for
Oregon apples. OF co lrse the careful
selection and packing of the fruit for
shipment to the White House accounts
for large part of the almost fabu-
lous price.
