CHANGES MADE
LAST WEEK

The stockholders of The R. L.
Charters Co. held a meeting last
week at which time several
changes were made in the estab-
lishment. H. D. Ruettell who
has been manager and a stock
holder of the company for the
past two years desposed of his
stock to the remaining stock
holders and has retired from the
firm. G.. G.. Grant, cashier of
the Ekalaka Bank has been
appointed his successor as mana
ger and for this position we
know of no more suitable:person.
That the store will prosper and
enjoy excellent trade under his
management is needless to say
as his business relations with che
people of this country for the
past two years has showed him a
capable gentleman and a thor
ough business man. Mr.. Grant
will also look after the duties of
cashier at the bank for a few
days until other arrangements
now pending are made.

HALLEY'S COMET
NOW In SIGHT

Those who have good spy
glasses or an ordinary oprea
glass can get a glimps Of Halley's
comet these evenings if condi-
tions are favorable,
THE most favorable time to
look for the comet is between
6:30 and 7:3O p. m. with the
glass elevated above the point
where the sun sets.
THE comet is at present in
what the astronmers call the
twilight region. It is in line
with the sun and it's brightness
is therefore dimmed. 1t will be
visible all throught April and
May, but at it's maximum brill
fancy on May IS. When the
comet is ne 4rest the earth it
will be only about $4,000, 600
miles away.

The following instructions in
regards to ridding the country of
prairie dogs have been issued by
the forestry Department.
For one bushel of wheat, take
3 ounces strychnine; IL pound
cyanide of potassium; l tea
spoonful oil anise, and 2 quarts
common molasses. The heavy
New Orleans molasses is the
best.
Put the strychnine into one
can, the cyanide into another.
Add one quart of water to each;
put over the fire and bring to a
boil, stirring 50 that it will dis
solve. Care should be used not
to inhale the fumes of the cy-
anide. (The strychnine will
seldom completely dissolve.)
Pour the two into one large can
(large enough to hold two gal
Ions easily); add two quarts of
warm water, and the two quarts
of molasses; put on the fire and
bring to a boil. Set off, allow it
to cool few minutes. pour in
the oil of anise, stir up thor
oughly. Then pour the mixture
over the wheat a little at a time,
stirring the grain as you pour the
mixture over it, so that every
individual grain will be coated.
Set it aside for a couple of
hours to get dry, and then put it
in boxes, barrels or sacks and use
as desired.
Don't think, when you start
in, that this mixture won't go
over bushel, for you will find it
plenty. An iorn tub. to mix the
wheat in is most satisfactory.
Stir it over with a shovel, mix
ing it carefully through and
through, as you pour in the mix
ture.
Be careful where you put the
wheat after this. Pet horses,
pigs and any number of chickens
have been killed by leaving the
tub standing around with the
wheat in it. See that the little
children don't find it lying
about. After all through, take
an ak and chop up every single
utensil used excepting the shovel
and burn them so as to make
sertain they will never be used
again for other purposes.
One bushel of wheat will make
$500 bats. The best time to
use the poison is in the months
of February, March and April.
The dogs are then hungry and
will eat anything. AS soon as
geen grass comes, they are not
so liable to eat the wheat. The
best plan of using it is as fol-
lows:
Take a light wagon and team
as base of supplies, put into it
about four bushels of wheat,
drive out on prairie and beginning
at some defiant point, work q
regular system Of covering the
country. The driver can leave
his team in the middle of thick
village, and taking 9 bucket arc

KILLING PRAIRIE DOGS
A Practical Receipt Prepared By The Govern
ment For Kidding The Country Of
These Animals.

table spoon, drop a spoonful at
at each hole, and always on the
same side of the hole. (This
prevents duplication Of doees.) }
The rest of the party on horse
back, each with a bucket of
wheat and spoon, ride rapidly
from hole to hole in the scattered
places, working up to certain
trails, roads or other natural
boundries, and it is surprising
how rapidly you can cover the
country. One can keep a horse
on 4 good jog trot and fire the
wheat with unerring aim at the
holes and never stop moving un-
less the holes are too thick.
A most convenient way to
carry the wheat for this work is
to take a gunny sack and sling
it over the right shoulder and
resting on the hip, then slip a
ten pound lard bucket into it in
which to carry the wheat. This
gvies your left hand to guide the
horse and the right one to use
the spoon.
Three men can easily put out
four bushels per day or 10000
holes. Work thus across the
country and back, just as a
farmer would SOW wheat. Some
times stakes set up for guides
come in very handy. Select a
period of plesent weather is pos
sible, as a wet snow or rain
weakens the poison.
1t acts at once. Dead dogs
have been founo in thirty min
utes from the time the poision
was put out. You will find lots
of them on the ground, and of
course, the largest number are
dead in the holes. You will also
get grand crop of blue jays,
magpies, skunks, badgers, and
owls. In a month, after a storm,
ride over the country again, and
whenever you find signs of the
dogs, leave fresh dose and you
will surely get them.
1t is we'll to watch the rangers
during the summer, and a year
later work over the same area
and with another dose spot the
holes that show signs of occup-
ancy.
If you have any unused poi.
oned wheat that you want to
keep for another year, it will
not deteriorate in the least; but
be sure and mark it plainly
Poison and place it where the
little ones can't find it and cal
it, for it's a very dangerous
poison, the cyanide of potassium
being almost instantaneous in is
deadly action.

a journalistic baby born this
week. It wilt be the Ismay

some advertising matter for his
enterprise. q
Speaking Of the Ismay Journal
and its future, MIR. Stevens said:
I'VE are net in for politics; in

editorial column in our paper
We propose to cover the news
filed as thoroughly as we can and

j. L. Baugh has just retuned
from Minneapolis where he pur-
chased a $4,000 eight-passenger
Studebaker automobile for use
as a passenger car between
Baker and Ekalaka. Mr.. Baugh
came to Baker last fall and
readily saw the needs of the
community and that the prac-
ticability of good passenger
service between Baker and Eka-
laka could only be secured by
installing a frstclass car. Mr.
Baugh, after looking the field
over, purchased the eight-pas-
senger Studebaker and guar
antees to meet his schedule.
Purchase was made through
Lakin Bros, Studebaker agents
at Miles City. A 81, 400 E. M.

The fire engine and other

was set up today and tested by the
representative of the Waterous
Engine Works Co., Joe Helget.
A line of hose was run out the
length of Main street from
which two streams were sent for
an hour, after which the expert
instructed several fireman in the
operation Of the engine. The
test was satisfactory to the
purchasing committee Of the
Commercial Club and the COM
pany was thenpaid it's money. 1t
is believed that Baker now has a

The Congregational Aid will
meet with Mrs. X. Knudsen next
Wednesday afternoon.
Read the large advertisement of
Chas. Rehfeld. He quotes prices on
meats, a matter of much interest in
these times of so called high prices.
What you find therein will be Of inter
est to you.
Elsewhere in this issue we print
tn. figures secorded by the weather
bureau at Huron showing the amount
of precipitation each year, beginning
with 1882 and extending up to July
20, 1910. As will be seen from the
figures therein contained the season
of 1910 has had less rainfall than any
e since the settlement of this part
of the state. We are short l.98 inches
of rain from March l to July 20, of
this year, as compared with the same
time in 1894, or what vas known as
the dry year. That our grain crops
are not as short this season is prob
ably due to the improved system OF
farming, the use of barnyard fertilizer,
the rotation of small grain, and the
raising of corn. From the tabulated
statement it will also be seen that
our rainfall in the growing a of
1909 was also one of the lowest. For
the two seasons of 1894 and 1895 we
had 3.l3 inches more than in the
growing seasons of 1909 and 1910. If
it is true that the precipitation moves
in cycles, as some claim, and as the
tabulated statement shows, we are now
due to enter into a period Of greater
rainfall. We sincerely hope that
figures do not lie in this case.
