YET Decided Upon--Proposed EN-
tension Will he Looked Into.

The proposed extension of the Una
tlla project is to be passed upon with
ia a few days by the board Of army
engineers, according to a dispatch
from Washington. This board of en-
gneers was appointed at the recent
congress to examine all government
reclamation projects and it started
westward this morning.
The boards itinerary is not defini-
tely fixed, as the members are not able
to anticipate the amount of time re-
quired on various projects. but their
first inspection will be of the North
Platte project, Nebraska next Mon
day. They then go to Goshen Hole,
Wyo., which is the proposed exten-
sion Of the North Platte project
thence to Bellefourche, Huntley Sho-
shone Dam, Wyoming; Lower Yellow
stone and Williston, y. D.; Milk
River, sun River and St Mary's
Montana; thence to the yakima VAL
ley. where all the subsidiary proit/-s
will be gone over.
The board then goes south to ex-
anime the Umatilla project and par
ticularly the proposed west side ex-
tension.
Turning east, they will inspect the
Poise-Payette and Minidoka projects,
in Idaho, and also stop next at
Strawberry Valley Utah. Beyond
that point their route has not been
mapped.
They may turn back to California
OF decide to go on to Colorado and
rr.
turning to Washington will visit all
projects, including the klamath. 1t
is the present intention of the board
TO make only one report covering all
the projects. The board will travel
as a unit and not divided into two
parties, as first proposed.

COUSIN OF JOHN D.
WANTS TO FORGET

New York.-Charles Miller, a
Brooklyn tradesman who keeps a sta
tionery store in the basement of an
old brownstone house, Is much in-
censed because the newspapers dis
covered that his father, William E.
Miller, who died of heart disease this
week. was related to John d. Rookie
feller.
IF you must publish that fact he
exclaimed to a reporter, "at least ex-
plain that it is but a very distant re-
lationship. That kinship cost my
father thousands of dollars, and II
will probably cost me thousands more.
When the newspapers several
years ago published stories of hiw
Rockefeller made his money, many
people in this neighborhood became
very indignant. Some of them learn
that my father was distantly related to
the oil king and forthwith boycotted
us.
"In vain we insisted that the kin
ship was so far removed that even
my father did not know just how II
started. People would not believe us
and whenever they passed our store
they pointed to it and said: There's
Rockefeller's cousin
My father grew so enraged that
he forbade US ever to speak of the
relationship"

To Kill Lice ON Fowls.

To kill the lice on the chicks paint
the inside of their coops with liquid
killer which can be purchased from
any dealer in poultry supplies. And
at this season of the year lice and
mites are at their worst. In addition
to the above, get some lice killing
powder and fill the plumage and
down of the chicks with it.
To kill the head lice on chicks
grease the heads with carbolic acid
vaseline or lard in which a few drops
OF kerosene are mixed. Keep the
chicks away from the old fowls, and
on clean. fresh grass land. Ventilate
the coops well. To kill the lice on
grown chickens and turkeys, fill their
plumage full of the powder referred
TO three times at intervals of ten
days
To kill the lice in the houses, close
them up tight and burn sulphur on a
shovel until the house is completely
full Of sulphur fumes. This will kill
the mites and lice, but the roosts
should be painted with liquid lice kill
er or kerosene occasionally to keep
down the little pests. The lice pow
der referred TO can be purchased from
the poultry supply dealers.

Cement Walks on Farms.

In many farming communities ce-
ment walks are becoming quite
common. They are easily made and
are everlasting If made right. A good
many farmers are doing without them
because Of the expense, but II the
sand is hauled at odd times and the
walk put down in sections as the time
can be spared the expense will not
be felt. because the cost Of materials
in the country is not very great and
then it is a great satisfaction to have
good walks.
If the subsoil is porous and allows
the water to fall away rapidly so as
t. prevent freezing it is not necessary
to excavate for a foundation, as the
walk will not settle. But where the
subsoi is a stiff clay it is better to ex-
cavate from IA 10 16 inches and fill
TO within - inches with cinders or
gravel 70 make a firm foundation.
Two by fours are used for the sides
OF the form, taking great care to lev
el them.
The surface coating is composed Of
one part cement and two and one
half parts Of sand mixed TO the con-
sistency Of mortar and spread over
the concrete forms and smoOthed with
a trowel Cover the walk to protect
It from the sun and 1t will be ready
for use in three days, and win not get
its ultimate strength before thirty
days.
