SlRsC RIrTlON RATES
CHANGES SUGGESTED.

The Times-Herald has had the
condition of the bridges and cul-
verts called to its attention re-
Gently by an auto driver. This
man took the pains to count
the number of bridges between
Burns and Wright's Point on the
Narrows road and there are
30 in less than II miles Of the
road. But two of these are such
that one can get oyer them with
out coming down to very slow
pace. All the others are raised
from three inches to higher above
the grade and the approaches
are abrupt. This prevents a
machine attaining any speed, in
fact this gentleman says it is
almost impossible to average a
speed of Is miles an hour be
tween this city and Wrights
Point with out danger of damag-
ing the machine.
The other approaches to the
city by the Korten place, the
Standcliff lane and out toward
Potter Swamp are in the same
condition.
Just why road workers have
all seen fit to raise these culyerts
above the level Of the grade
seems a mystery. 1t doesn't
seem to help in anyway, while on
the other hand it is a detrimcnt,
With vehicles coming on the APP
proaches with a bump it naturally
wears the plank and each year
these have to be replaced for this
reason. These approaches are
refilled from time to time with
loose dirt but it doesn't stay but
a short time. 1t may not be
practical to lower these culycrts
by rebuilding the foundation
but with the rock crusher it
would seem a stroke Of economy
to fill these approaches with such
material as would be permanent
and thus avoid broken spring

POISONED BATS TO KILL BUGS

Poisoned bats are desirable
for destroying grasshoppers. cut
worms and n few other insects. -
says M. +. Wilson, entomolcgist
at the Oregon Agriculture Col
legc, in Il new bulletin on insect
cides for the garden, which will
soon be Off the press.
Such bats are most effective
if used in early spring" he says.
Poisoned sliced of potatoes or
some similar vegetables treated
with strong solution of arsen-
ate of lead or Paris green are
used to poison sow-bugs and
wire worn.
TO make a bran arsenic
mash mix thoroughly a pound Of
white arsenic, half n pound of
brown sugar, six pounds Of bran
and add enough water to make a
wet mash. A spoonful should
be placed at the base of each tree
or vine. For cut-worms Il still
better bait may be prepared by
throughly a pound of
Paris green, 10 pounds of mid
dlings and 10 pounds of bran,
dry, and sowing it broadcast
upon the vegetation, about the
borders of cultivated fields or
gardens. 1t may also be sown
with a seed drill along the rows
of plants to be protected, So
used it has been found especially
valuable for destroying cut
worms in onion field" "

Gently purchased at Portland.
The animals were shipped over
the Oregon Trunk to Opal city
and driven in from that place.

SAVES GPAIN FROM RABBITS.

John Eichner has been demon
strating to his neighbors that it
is not so expensive to save crops
from rabbit pests if it is properly
handled. He has in about &
acres Of wheat and has built a
sage brush fence around it to the
heighth of some 16 inches. At
points he has openings in the
fence permitting the rabbits com
ing through and at these open
ings Mr.. Eichner has set small
steel traps. He places a stick
across the opening at the right
distance and the rabbit has to
jump this stick and the trap is
ON the other side to receive him.
Mr.. Eichner has caugh 1876
rabbits since lst, of May and his
grain has not been bothered.
This method should be tried by
others for Mr.. Eichner and his
neighbors state it is "A success.

ON GUARD.

The man who does his duty
when no man is watching, when
no swift punishment will follow
its neglect, is a true hero.
The man who insures his life
for the protection of his family
and pays the premiums through
much self denial has more honor
in the eyes of Heaven than the
man who is ready to risk his life
unnecessarily for the plaudits of
the multitude. The husband is
like "A sentinel standing guard
over a camp upon whose vigilance
its safety depends. If he neg
lects insurinR his life, he is like Il
sentinel who is found asleep at
his post. The punishment which
goes with such a crime is the
severest that can be given. On
the other hand, if a sentinel
while on duty is killed in the
effort to protect the camp, ne is
regarded as worthy of the Cross
Of the Legion Of Honor for his
faithfulness. The man who dies
and leaves his family protected
by a policy Of Life Insurance, is
like the faithful sentinel, who is
killed, but who has sounded the
alarm. If you are not insured,

CANYON CREEK ROAD.

NJ. Spears, the county survey

proposed new road around what
is known as the Humbolt hill on
the Canyon creek road This
Improvement will be made this
summer. Already there has been
a heavy freight travel through
here to Burns and the Humbolt
hill has been an obstacle much
complained Of. The cutting down
Of this grade will tend to stimu-
late the travel this way. Another
grade on this road that freighters
complain of is what is known as
the Soda mountain hill and it is
likely that before long some
effort will be made to eliminate

vehicles of that character and
avoid the necessity of lifts and
iolting to heavy loaded teams.
This complaint is not confined
to motorists. nor is the suggestion
for Improvement in their interest
alone, 1t is a matter of concern
to every farmer, freighter or
man who drives any kind of
a vehicle over the road. We
had Just as well have these roads
fixed for convenience and com
fort for all as to have them n
constant menace and annoyance
to all who have to travel them.
