RABBITS SLAIN BY THOUSANDS
Deep Snow and Lack of Food
Forcing Them Into Valleys
Consuming Much Hay

Elko Independent: From every
part of the country comes complaint
of great destruction done by rabbits.
The deep snow in the mountains has
covered up their food and they have
come down into the valleys where
they gather about hay stacks by
thousands.
In conversation with Mr.. j. H. Ca
zier of Starr valley several days ago,
he stated that the rabbits we're more
numerous than he had ever seen them.
Even in the Fall of 1889 he doubts if
there were as many as now. They
gather about stacks half a dozen deep
and fight their way into the hay.
Half a dozen a be killed at a shot
with a shotgun, and recently on his
place rs were killed in ten shots. His
IL year-old son killed 20 a few days
ago with a % rifle.
Fritz Kliner, whose ranch is at the
mouth of the South Fork. has en-
closed his hay yards with wire net
ting. Several days ago he left the
gate open and he succeeded in trap
ping five hundred. which he killed
with clubs.
Everywhere dead rabbits can be
found. but it is not known whether
they are dying of starvation or of a
disease.
In the "Artic Prairies," by Ernest
Thompson Siton. interesting refer
ence is made to rabbits and the
remedy that nature has adopetd to
get rid of them when they become
too numerous, The plague he men,
tons overlook the rabbits here in
1883 and 1889. and it is evidently
among the rabbits now. A para
graph from the book is as follows:
This is rabbit history as far back
as is known: they are spread over
some great area; conditions are fav-
orable; some unknown influence en-
dows the female with unusual fecun-
dity they bear not n but two or
three broods in a season, and these
number s or 10 to the brood. The
species increases far beyond the
powers of predaceous birds or beasts
to check, and the rabbits after z or
8 years of this are multiplied into
untold millions. On such occasions
every little thicket has a rabbit in it;
they jump out at every 8 or 10 feet;
they number not less than 100 to the
acre on desirable ground. which
means 5000 to the square mile, and a
region as large as Alberta would con-
tain not less than 100, 600, 600. At
this time one mar can readily kill
100 or 200 rabbits a day, and beasts
of prey are slaughtering them with
out restraint. Still they increase.
Finally, they are so extraordinarily
superintendent that they threaten
their own food supply. as well as
poison all the ground. A new in
fluence appears on the scene. it is
commonly known as the plague,
though it is not one disease. but many
run epidemic riot, and in a few weeks
usually, the rabbits are wiped out"
1t will be remembered that after
the plague in rabbits here in 1889,
the species appeared to be almost ex-
tinct for a number of years. If the
rabbits are now dying from plague
and not from starvation as many be-
lieve, it is probable that they will be
practically exterminated, and for the
next several years they will give
little or no bother.

William McGrath Weds
At State Capital

Miss Marie Mills of Chicago and Mr..
William McGrath of Hayden were mar
ried at Phoenix February 10. The we'd
ding was the elimination of romance
in which all the attractions of wealthy
home lost to the little boy with the
bow and arrows, and in which distance
failed to upset the course of true love.
The young people evidently had their
arrangements all made, and the clever
plan worked out admirably.
Miss Mills made the long trip across
the country alone. She did not even
notify relatives in Phoenix that she
was coming. Upon her arrival at
Phoenix she was met by Mr.. McGrath,
who had left Hayden telling friends he
was going on business trip ITO the
capital. They were married few hours
later, and arrived at their new home in
Hayden the following day.

Ralph Dorsey Weds
Miss Kathleen Knapp

Miss Kathleen Knapp and Mr.. Ralph
Dorsey, both of Hayden, were married
IN Phoenix last Monday evening, the
Rev. Father Novatus of st. Mary's
Catholic Church officiating. The man
ager Of the smelter team and his bride
left the following day for Los Angeles,
where the honeymoon will be spent.
Rumor has it that Ralph will combine
search for ball players with his
honeymoon, and that he will be able
to line up few strong players for
Hayden while on the coast. In speak
ing of Dorsey's propensity for picking
players, the Phoenix Republican said
recently:
"It is second nature with Dorsey to
pick players and he believes he will
be able to line up a few for Hayden
without having business interfere with
his honeymoon. He is an old hand
at the ball game having been former
manager of the Globe team before he
became responsible for the smelter out
fit"

Phoenix Church Scene of
Haffner- Kinsey Nuptials

Miss Florence Kinsey, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs Charles Kinsey of Ray
and Mr. J. Barnhard Haffner were
married Tuesday, February 8, at the
Episcopal Church in Phoenix, the Rev.
Bertram Cocks officiating. The cere-
mony was performed in the presence
of the families and only a few friends
of the bride and groom.
After the wedding, Mr.. Charles Kin
sey, the father of the bride, gave
wedding dinner at the Hotel Adams.
Mr.. and Mrs Haffner left Tuesday for
a visit to the coast. Upon their return
they will make their home in Ray. The
bride and groom are both well known
here and a host of friends wish them
much happiness. Miss Kinsey has been
teaching school in Salt Lake City and
resigned her position to become the
bride of Mr.. Haffner. She made the
Journey from the Utah capital to
Phoenix where she was met by her
parents. The bride is a young woman
of charming personality. Mr.. Haffner
is one of Rays most popular young
men, and is employed as engineer at
the Ray Con company's shaft.

DEFLECIDRS Will
TAME TURBULENCE
Of MINERAL CREEK

The recent floods at Ray have i'm
pressed the management the necessity
of better controlling the waters which
are prone to come down the creek in
various seasons of the year and tend
to lash the wooden bulkhead which pro-
tects the lower yard at the No. 1 mine.
In some instances this has given way
and caused damage and loss of time
The latest innovation to be tried, is the
Dean River Current Deflector, of which
six have been installed on the west side
of Mineral creek at a position about
opposite the warehouse for the first
one and the others to the south at in
tervals of about seventy five feet.
Mr.. F. N. Holmquist, the representa-
tive of the Deflector has been at Ray
for the past three weeks making the
installation, and from what he saw of
rampage, he feels these instruments
will do the work. The Deflectors which
have been installed are patented by the
inventor and work on the principle of
fighting current with a current They
are SO designed that when placed
against the bulkhead or bank, they
turn the greater portion of the current
in the stream away from the bank,
thereby preventing any cutting. At the
rpo0 ir0on
the water to filter through and under
the structure, thus retarding the prog
ress of the water so that the sediment
is deposited below the deflectors. The
water passing under the machines i'm
mediately rises and thus equalizes the
water level on both sides and at the
same time forming cushion or space
of dead water against the bulkhead
The instruments used at Ray are
larger and stronger than any that have
been applied elsewhere; they are made
this way in order to withstand the
shock of the rush of water and the
boulders, etc., which usually come down
with it. They are V shaped and five
of them are 1S feet long by about six
feet high and the sixth one is "a feet
long. These have been tried under most
all conditions elsewhere, but while they
have proven success wherever tried,
it is not known how they will act here,
but we sincerely hope that they will be
successful in this instance as the creek
has been source of annoyance during
each period of high water.
The fleet of the deflectors have been
dubbed the Ray Navy" and each one
has been given name, some of them
two or three names, but for the want
OF more appropriate ones, they shall
henceforth be known as the 81. S. c."
the W. S. b." the Judge" "Hubb,"
DAD and the 'Ray Con Queen"
Some one suggested that one be given
the name peace Ship" or oscar H." as
they thought it would be failure, but
most Of those who have passed their
opinion are inclined to the belief they
will be material aid in saving the
lower yard and as that is the object
In putting them in, if they accomplish
that, they will have done wonders.
