coined by this enemy of the fly In
his efforts to encourage the elimina-
ton of the pest.
DR.. Howard says there is no
phrase. however unpleasant. that
cannot be applied with some correct
ness to the fly. He declares. how
ever, that actual slaughter of the
fly when found and an elimination
of breeding spots are more import
ant than applying epithets.

Absolute cleanliness will always

few years ago the government built
a bridge at Cayuse and shortly after
wards the road was made public.
The need for bridges both at Thorn
Hollow and Mission is much felt. par.
ticularly in the grain-hauling season
end IL is the devout wish OF every
farmer on the reservation to have the
bridges built by next fall. The Thorn
Hollow road Is used too, by the trav.
el to Bingham Springs. In the win
ter time the lack of bridge at Mis-,
sion makes It very inconvenient for
residents ,of the reservation desiring
to get to the agency. The only way
OF crossing the river now Is by ford
and this becomes dangerous when the
water is high, thus necessitating driv-
ing clear TO Pendleton to cross the
river, In the fall, the farmers have
been put to the trouble and expense
OF building temporary bridges.
The government sent an engineer
here last year to make surveys at
Thorn Hollow and now the same en-
gineer is here to make survey at
Mission. This is taken as very
hopeful indication by farmers on the
reservation.
