IN Mt. RAINIER CASE
States Attorney Accepts Report
Of Sheriff on Death Of Mrs.

Sheriff George Hardy. of Prince
George county. Nd, ordered yesterday
ny States Attorney Clarence M. Rob
erts to inquire into the death OF Mrs.
Clara A. Van Solver. at Mt. Rainier
on New Year night. reported to Mr..
Roberts today that he did not believe
the facts warrant a post-Inortem ex-
animation of the body or an inquest.
The report was made by telephone,
and, after talking with the sheriff. Mr..
Roberts said he would accept the sher-
if's report on the case and take NO
further action.
The sheriff said he had talked with
William IL. Van Solver. husband OF the
Woman. who was remarked on January
10. and with Health Officer Ohlendorf.
who signed the death certificate, which
read that death was due to heart dis
case. Van Solver discovered that his
wife was dead early In the morning of
January 2, and she was buried the fol-
lowing day. Sheriff Hardy said he was
satisfied with the reasons given for the
quick burial.
Neighbors who were called in shortly
after the woman WAS faand ia. u dead
told the sheriff. according to the State =
attorney. that the body appeared to be
in q natural state.

What War MOUeS Mean
BY ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15.-The German
success in driving the French across
the Aisnc, east Of Soissons, is the
most important victory either side
has won In the western war area
since winter began. Its present sig
nificance Is negligible. but, IL the
Germans can maintain their position
on the south Of the river, they will
have a permanent crossing for fu-
ture operations toward Paris.
Whether the spring campaign will
50 develop as to permit q new drive
on Paris cannot be known now to
anyone. But certainly this possibil-
ity exists. and in 1t is the warrant
for Germany's suddenly developed
scissors offensive. The Kaiser. re-
covered from his recent Illness,
seems to have selected the Aisne
front for his convalescent visit to
the firing line. which in itself sug-
gests that more than casual impor-
tance Is attached by the Germans to
the seizure of crossings over the
Aisne. . '..
At no other place have the Ger
mans secured a lodgment south Of
the Aisne. If they hold their newly
won positions. they will be able to
threaten the rear Of the French COM
munications at scissors, and II a Sc
rious German effort is made to reacn'
Paris once more, the difficulty Of
the allies defense Of the Aisne posi-
tions will be much increased.
The Washington times., 1915-01-15

The effort to attribute the French
defeat TO the hooded condition Of the
Aisne Is inappropriate. IT the hood
destroyed French bridges and made
It impossible to send reinforcement
across the river, similar obstruction
ought to have prevented the Ger
mans crossing the stream
1t IL probable that the prime rea-
son for the French defeat was the
existence Of a weak spot In the
French line north Of the Aisne which
wao discovered by the Germans.
Undermanned French trenches and
the inspiration given the German
troops by the presence Of the su-
preme. war lord doubtless caused
what the Berlin official report right
" characteristics as "a brilliant feat
for our troops"
In England. the French reverse
will be received with much private-
ly expressed personal bitterness. The
positions lost by the French were
originally captured from the Ger
mans by Sir John French's army
during the battle Of the Aisnc.
They are q part Of the line north of
the Aisne which cost 80 much Brit
ish blood to occupy. and which en-
phasized the brilliant fighting quail
ties Of the British regulars.
For the ground to be lost once
more after the British army had
been moved elsewhere on the firing
line, Is bound to cause deep chaRrjn

BURLEIGH COUNTY TO BUY POL
SON-MONEY PAID FOR BOUN-
TIES WILL BE USED IN WELL
PLANNED CAMPAIGN.

c. M. Yerington, of the United
Etates Biological Survey, under the
Department Of Agriculture, yesterday
demonstrated to the Burleigh County
Commissioners how the gopher pests
can be exterminated. Mr.. Yerington
in company with the Commissioners
and the county auditor, went out into
the country yesterday afternoon,
where a demonstration was made.
The county commissioners were we'll
pleased with the plans advanced by
Mr.. Yerington for Kidding the county
of the pest and will take the matter
up at their session today.
1t is likely that the county will dis
continue the payment of a bounty on
gophers, and will use the money ex-
pended in that way to carry on a sci
entiic campaign of determination.
The government will assist in the
work, and will furnish the poison, pre-
pared after their own formula, at cost
price.
Do Great Damage.
Over $1,000,000 damage is done an
nually in this state by gophers. If
actual figures could be compiled they
would stagger one unfamiliar with the
condition.
The animal that is the most con-
spicuous offender in this way is the
Richardson ground squirrel or flick
ertail, commonly called the gopher in
North Dakota. This is the yellowish
short-tailed animal which ranges
westward from the western border of
the Red River valley to the Missouri
River, tehnce north and west into
Canada and Montana. The damage

They also arc proving especially dis
astrous to con- and alfalfa and in
this way are seriously interfering with

ture of these two valuable crops.
Exhaustive cxpeilnents have be .r
made at the North Dakota Akricultor-
al Experiment station, and the find

Poison Formula.
AS a result Of these Investigations a
formula is here given for the prepare
ton of the poison-coated grain. This
method has given excellent results
and is the best that has been produced
up to the present time. 1t is recon-
mended for the determination of the
Richardson ground squirrel Or flicke-
rtail. This preparation is equally eff
fective in destroying the Franklin or
gray ground squirrel and the striped
or thirteen-lined ground squirrel.
Formula for Preparation of Poison:
(1) Mix thoroughly 1 ounce strych
nine alkaloid (powderedO and one
ounce of baking soda.
(2) Sift this into 3-4 pint of thin,
hot starch paste and stir to a creamy
mess. The starch paste is made by
disolving one heaping ~teaspoonful of
dry gloss starch in a little cold waiter
which is then added to ga pint of
boiling water. Boil and stir constant
ly until a clear thin paste is formed
(3) Add Ia pint of heavy corn
syrup and a tablespoonful of glycerine
and stir thoroughly.
