dance worthy Of more serious attention, Ooth IN W'

than it has commonly received, so far as the BEACON
is advised, anywhere in this immediate section
The loss to property in the destruction OF young
poultry and eggs and of grain on the farm, and the
damage to merchandise of one kind or announcer IN
stores and warehouses is incalculable.
If the real loss from rats could be correctly ascer'

the part of sanity, in the direction OF protecting
health, and of safety in the prevention of property
loss-fOr our people, generally, to study the question
of rodent determination to familiarize themselves
with the best methods of accomplishing the end de-

and persistently to do the things needed to be done
to bring about a than which, at this
time, scarce anything can. be more devoutly to be

President Sproule
SOuthbOund Saturday

President Sproule of the Southern
Pacific went through Ashland Satur-
day on his return from an inspection
trip north. He states that the pas
senger traffic on his road has fallen
off one million dollars in the past
two months and that the officials are
busy trying to readjust train sched
ules to meet the changed conditions.
He thinks next year will be a great
one in passenger traffic as Americans
heretofore summering in Europe will
come to the coast. He says the tight
condition of the money market will
continue for at least ninety days and
may not become normal for six
months, or until after the stock and
bond market has been again opened
and it is known just how much of
European held securities will be
forced on the market.
