at once. Old Kansans will remem-
Der how the chinch bugs, which 10
or more years ago had become so
numerous that the wheat and corn
crops were ruined season after sea-
son.wer practically exterminated by
similar measures. Today it is pos
sible to send TO the Agricultural
college of that state and secure in
fected bugs with which to scatter
like wildfire a disease which is fa-
tai to every bug in an entire coun-
ty. Acting on the same principle,
we suggest that bench farmers place
injected grasshoppers in air tight
jars for use next year. By following
this practice every year we believe
the farmer will always have at
hand weapon cheaper, more effec-
tive han poison or the hopperdozer.
The experiment is worth trying, any
way.

Fatal Malady Among
the Grasshoppers

According to information received
yesterday from the lower end of the
Mesa, a contagion is spreading a
mong the grasshoppers and they
are dying by the thousands. At the
VanLimburg ranch the disease is
so virulent that the ground is Ii
terally covered with the dead hop
pers.
Here is the opportunity of not
only the bench and slope farmers,
but also of the ranchers on the
butte and across the summit on the
Van Deusen range. Collect guam
tues of the dead insects and
scatter them every place where grass,
hoppers abound, thus spreading the
infection and effectually obliterat-
ing the pests for this season, at
least, and perhaps for many years
to come. Don't wait. Get busy

offices in the Dewey-Scales building.
The following directors were elected
E. H. Dewey, w. c. Dewey, H. A.
Partridge, R. NJ. Esteem, C. r. Hick
ey and A. j. Hede. The officers
were E. H. Dewey, president and
general manager; w. C. Dewey, vice
president; A. j. Hede, secretary;
j. d. Bloomfield, treasurer.
There was no change in the di-
rectorship or the officers as hereto
fore. e. H. Dewey voted 1894
shares of stock out af 10000 share
This gave Mr.. Dewey control in the
election and would indicate that he
has not sold much of his interest
in the road to Hill, Hartman
any other man.

b.dly disorganized condition Sunday
and were easily defeated by Boise,
Score II to 3 Arrangements had
been made with j. L. Jolley and A.

all right with four of the boys, but
Nelson's car was out of commission
on account of the carbuncler being
flooded with oil, and the remainder
of the team had to either walk or
stay at home-and the walking was
poor. The team will play at Cald-
well Sunday.

Settled by Arbitration.

The amount of damages which
should be awarded to the three Full
!ers-father and two sons-on ac-
count of the right of way for the
Payette Valley railroad extension
going through their farms, was
settled Saturday by arbitration.J ohm
B. Davies was selected by the Full
lers and C. P. Bilderback by the
railroad committee. After a per-
sonal investigation, $3.50 was agreed
upon. While the amount of land
required is small, considerable da-
mage is caused by reason of the line
running in front of their residences.

Thunder City Wants Road.

The survey which the Idaho
Northern is making in Long Valley,
follows the river pretty closely and
has left Thunder City out in the
cold. Efforts are being made to in
duce the road to build through that

acres of ground has been offered as
a bonus. Thunder City is nat
ural location for a townsite, being
at the junction of the Payette Lakes
and Thunder Mountain roads, and
and is the outfitting point of min
ing, timber and sheepmen for
large area of country The company
is taking the matter under advise
ment.

FATS VERSUS SLIMS
Annual Battle OF the Heavy and
Lightweights to be Fought.

Unless Governor Brady interferes
the annual baseball contest between
the men of broad girth and the
long, lean, hungry specimens of hu-
manity will be pulled off Friday
of next week, beginning at 8
O'Clock and ending if possible the
same day.
1t will be a fierce contest, for the
memory of the defeat which the
Fats met with last year, still lin
gers in their breasts and the hat
chet has been dug up and Harry
Shropshire has ordered his braves
to put on their war paint, take
their squaws and pappooses to place
of saefty and prepare to defend theii
honor. Enormous additions have
been made to the ranks of the fats
this year. Fred Blasser is one of
them; weight 99S pounds. feet
13 around the waist and 5 feet
high. Blaser went to school to
Johnny Killing, the noted Chicago
catcher and was last year discharged
because he had learned more than
King himself. Willie Bright Eyes
will also be in the ranks, with his
tub. Leslie Mills will again hold
down a sack if he can find one big
enough and Charlie Mclaughlin will
fill the space in the center garden.
There will be others if there is
any room left. The slims-well,
they will all be there if the wind
doesn't blow them into the next
county before that time. They have
been put on a wind pudding and hot
air diet and all will be perfect
specimens of walking cadavers 1--WE
guess that's a good word
There will be a parade at 2:3O,
led by the band and the water wagon
The proceeds will be for the bene-
fit of the band, who have taken
an oath that they really need the
money. So turn out and see the
fun. There will be no maximum
limit to the price of admission. The
minimum will be so cents for grand.
stand, 25 cents for blechers, 80
cents to peek through the fence.No
change will be given.

G. &P. SURVEYORS ARE
CALLED IN.
Entire Force in Payette and
Boise Valleys Laid Off
Indefinitely

Harmon Shannon, who has been
with the G. & P. surveying crew
since early last winter, returned
home Monday to stay. The entire
ofrce, with the exception of the
head draughtsman and level men,
were paid off and relieved from
duty indefinitely. The men who
did not get the axe were ordered
to report to the headquarters of
the company at Armstead, with theii
paraphernalia.
The surveys for this mysterious
road have been in operation
since the first of the year, start
ing work at Emmett and running
lines along both sides of the Pay
ette river to the junction of the
North and South Forks. Then the
crew was transferred to the Boise
river, where a survey was made to
Grimes Pass. A month ago oper-
ations along the Payette were resum
ed, starting at Garden Valley and
working up and down the river
upon orders to tie up with the
Salmon river survey and the Boise
river survey. Ten days more would
have completed the work, according
to Mr.. Shannon, and the sudden
calling off the men was a surprise.
The cause of the orders to discon-
tinue work is attributed to several
reasons, ,one of them being that suftl
cient data had been secured upon
which to base decision as to the
best route to follow. While this
may have had its influence to GER
tain extent, the real reason is pro-
badly contained in yesterdays dis
patches in the daily papers to the
effect that owing to government
Intervention in the general increase
of freight rates by the railroads, a
policy of retrenchment had been de-
cided upon. The Northern Pacific
has given orders to lay. off large
numbers of men and other roads
are uOluS llhCM lC NASptNSNA
says:
Increased taxes; increased prices
for labor and material, and the en-
larged powers of railroad commits
sions all working to reduce the net
earnings of railroad companies so
that it seems prudent for the board
OF directors and railroad officers to
consider most carefully not only the
duty to the travellers and shippers
over their roads, but also their duty
to the very large number OF people
whose money is invested in railroads
and the large class of investors to !!
whom the railroads must go if they
are to obtain money for additions
and improvements and extensions.
1t seems, therefore, the part OF wis
dom not to engage in new enterprises
at the present time and not to un-
dertake too much work.
