ELECTRICITY MASTERS THE
MOUNTAIN BARRIERS.

One of the most stupendous prob
lens of western railroading has been
the mountains. To lift the tremen-
dous tonnage of the transcontinental
trains over the mile-in-the-air crests
of the mountains is a Herculean task
under the most favorable conditions,
and when snow fills the passes, and
cold beleaguers the fire boxes of the
steam locomotive, the difficulties of
mountain operation become we'll
nigh insuperable.
Remarkable, therefore, was the
recent record Of one of the "Milwau-
KEGS" new Electric Locomotives,
pulling the all-steel "Olympian" over
the Notwithstanding the train at
Deer Lodge, Montana, forty-five
minutes late, and having to traverse
the mile-high pass of the Great Con-
tinental Divide in the dead of winter,
it made up the lost time in the run
of lis miles and arrived at Three
Forks, Montana, on scheduled time
This astounding record shows that
the Electric Locomotive has proved
itself Master of the Mountain Bar
riers." Fed with the tremendous
energy of the mountain streams,
making an ally of the cold weather
which aids in keeping the motors
cool-it penetrates the snowdrifts
with comparative ease-hauls heavier
loads with greater dispatch and y
pronounced saving in cost, and opens
a new world of delights to the travel
er.
On your next trip to the Pacific
North Coast, take either of the SUI
perb all-steel trains, THE Olym-
pian," or 1.-The Columbian" over the
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Rail-
way, and enjoy the advantages of
electric travel, combined with unsur-
passed scenery and service.

FIGHT THE GOPHERS.
They Are One of the Big Nuisance
On the Farm.

One of the anomalies OF American
life and character is the extracrdin-
airy patience and long-suffering shown
in submitting to conditions which,
by concerted effort could easily be
disposed Of forever. Rats, for in
stance, gophers and various other
pests.
The common pocket gopher, while
an unmitigated nuisance, can De put
out of business at small expense and
with a comparatively small expendi-
ture of time and effort. For some
months past his gophership has been
Ihibernating cozily in hidden burrows
safely out of reach of Jack Frost's
icy attentions. But the warming sun
of April will stir warnings of indus
try in his head and claws, and soon
the mounds of fresh, finely-worked
soil will begin to disfigure the emer
old beauty of lawns and meadows. It
is the clover fields in May and June
where he gets in his best ticks, or,
more properly speaking, his meanest
| ticks. He can do more mischief in a
given time, size and weight consider
ed, than any other critter that walks
the face of the earth or burrows BE-
meath it. His energy is phenomenal.
| He is no respecter of persons. GA
the contrary like the followers OF
the red flag of anarchy, he appears -
have it in for the opulent and finds
peculiar delight in devastating the
velvety lawns of the millionaire and
the smooth green of golf links.
1t is a simple matter to get rid of
him. An earnest inclination, few
pounds of carbon bisulphide and
reasonable amount of muscular effort
are all that are needed for his conf
plete elimination. The carbon Di-
sulphide is inexpensive. 1t is also
very odorous, to speak conservative
ly. 1t is no wonder geomys busarius
gives up the ghost when assailed with
its fragrance. The process is as fol-
lows: Open the burrow near fresh
iy heaped mound, drop in bit of cot
ton or old rags, pour two or three
tablespoonfuls of the liquid upon it,
close the burrow and seek another.
That is all. The carbon will do the
rest, quickly and effectively. 1t is ex-
tremely volatile, evaporating with in
credible celebrity, forming a dense,
heavy gas, deadly to animal and in
sect life. The gas, being heavier
than the air, seeks always the lower
levels, and Mr.. Gopher can't run fast
enough nor far enough to escape It
The deeper he goes the surer his des-
truction. The process is so ridicd-
lousy simple and easy that the aver
age person is inclined to ignore it
because of its simplicity. If it were
process at once difficult and eXpen-
sive we would probably fall over each
other in the struggle to try it. A
word of caution: keep the stuff away
from fire, or rather keep fire away
from the bisulphide, for it is highly
explosive. 1t is so very impulsiye
that the conservative man will fore
go the pleasure of pipe or cigar while
handling it.
