UNION GIVES RECIPE
FOR SQUIRREL POISON

Condor Local No. 80, F. E. &
=. u, recently wrote to R. A.
Ward. assistant in the U. S.
Bureau of Biological Survey, and
asked him for the most effective
recipe for poison for ground
squirrels. The Union also asked
Mr.. Ward to speak to the farm
ers in Condon on April 81 on the
subject of eliminating the squir-
rel pest. Following is the recipe
sent by Mr.. Ward and given here
for the benefit of the farmers:
DIRECTIONS FOR POISONING
GROUND SQUIRRELS
Mix l tablespoonful of gloss
starch in / 2 teacup of cold water
and stir into l 2 pint of boiling
water to make a clear thin paste.
MIX ounce OF powdered strych-
nine (alkaloid) with l ounce of
baking soda (bicarbonate) and
stir the starch to a smooth
creamy mass free of Jumps. Stir
in Ia pint of heavy corn syrup
and l tablespoonful of glycerine
and finally l, scant teaspoonfnl
of saccharine. Apply to 20
quarts of oats or wheat and mix
thoroughly to coat each kernel.
Each quart of poisoned grain
is sufficient for 40 to so bats.
This quantity, scattered l tea
spoonful to place, along squirrel
trains or on clean hard surface
near the holes will not endanger
stock.

AN EXPRESSION ON THE PROPOSED BONDING Bill.

Editor Globe:
In compliance with your re-
quest for an article on the
$6, 900, 600 bond bill for good
roads that will be up for vote of
the people OF this state next
June, | hand to you a brief com.
ment on the same.
The question that is foremost
in the minds of the people in re.
lation to this measure and the
one most frequently asked is this
Where will the $4,000, 900 be
spent and how much road will
it build? Subdivisions /, 4 and
b of Section 6 OF the act provide
that out of the funds derived
from the sale OF bonds enough
thereof to build a paved road in
the counties of Clatsop. Columbia,
Hood River and Jackson be paid
out of the fund, aud this because
the aforesaid counties have been
bonded to almost the constitu
tional limit. The building of the
paved roads in these counties are
az the expense of the people of
the state as a whole and not one
dollar of the money of the var
lous counties last above mention.
ed is 10 be paid for that purpose.
How many miles of road there
are to be paved in those counties
before the roads there are com |
pleted do not know. | DO know
that the roads in these counties
will cost on an average of at least
5000 per mile, as portions of it
in Hood River county will cost
as much as $25, 900 per mile be-
cause of the rugged work to be
done there, and when the matter
IS all averaged up it is question.
able whether $4,000 per mile
will care for the cost.
1t will be noted from the bill
hat there are roads of first i'm.
oortance, but there is nothing in
he bill that provides that roads !;
If first Importance shall be first
constructed. There is opportun-
ty for rank discrimination in the
building of the various roads
designated in the bill. Then
again if the people vote favorably
IN the bill and the money is
partly spent and the next legis.
ature desires to change the law
10 that eastern Oregon is cut out
we are helpless as we
ire in the minority in the vote of
he state. We all believe that
he new State Highway Commits
ion will mete out justice to all
'arts of the state. But they will
'e powerless if the next legisla-
ure passes a law making it COM
to construct certain roads
n western Oregon first. h
There is nothing in the bill I
howing the composition of the

these roads,. except that the
paving companies have provided
that part Of it shall be hard sur
faced. We do not know what
material will be used in the build
ing of the post.roads or forest
roads. If the post.roads are to
be built of ordinary dirt, proper.
ly graded, such road will not do
for eastern Oregon in the rainy
or winter season. 1t will be the
same old sea Of mud that we
have had in the past. If the
material used is dirt and rock it
would be a good road. depending
upon how it is built, but the cost
thereof would be at least several
thousand dollars per mile, and if
so. the bill does not provide for
enough money with which to
build the roads that are designat-
ed in the bill. 1t is true that the
bill seems to promise us much,
but | venture the statement that
they cannot be delivered and it
is questionable whether anyone
that helped father the bill ever
contemplated that it would begin
to build half the road designated
therein.
AS far as Gillian County is
concerned it will not get any
paved road for the simple reason
the bill provides that no paving
shall be done by the Highway
Commission until the base for
such paving has been first laid
at the expense of the county in
which the paving will be done.
And such a base will cost not
less than $4,000 per mile, and
since about 80 miles will be re.
quired from the west to the east
end of the county, we cannot
build it, because it exceeds in
cost the amount of money that
could be raised under the consti-
tutional limit which would be
about 500, 600 hence we wilt have
to content ourselves with post |
roads and at the same time help
pay for the paving of which we
will get nothing in our COUNTY.
Do not understand that | am
against good roads as am heart |
lily in favor of good roads. But
what | contend is that we can. !,
not build a system of roads that /
will cost $50, 00O, 900 for$6. 900, 600
and if not, what is the scheme
behind the bill? l venture to
say. that if this bill passes in its
present form, and the money
provided therein is spent We will
have, in this state a system of
roads partly completed. Then
what will the people do about it?

BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Dour your imagination bring you
JOY or PAIN You are free to invent
for yourself ogres and gobline-or
good fairies. Which do you choose
to summon?
None of thethings we dread is as
bad as our perfervid imaginations
make them. None of our pet horrors
ever torture us as we thought they
would. We use ourselves up and wear
ourselves out, fearing some situation
which lurke behind the black curtain
of the future. Then we go draw the
curtain, and behold! there is light on
the other side and our terror is a
benehcent and kindly ghost!
Have you dreaded losing your job?
Well, you lost it and walked the
streets disconsolately looking for
work for several weeks. At the end
of that time you got far better po-
sition than the one you had SO feared
losing.
If you have gone through the ex-
perience of learning to ride, you know
that if you was at first afrai d of your
mount the horse seemed almost
psychologically aware of it and was
the harder to handle. With courage,
it was fairly easy to keep your seat.
The instructor told you that you were
getting "a good wrist" and splendid
knee grip But you knew that it
was more than that-you had mas
tered your mohst, and he knew it
and acknowledged it by responding to
your will.
Your own fears are exactly like
that. Directly you cease dreading
them, they take orders from you!
When terror is permitted to master
you it rides you mercilessly. But di-
rectly you conquer it the command
Approach your fear, lok at it from
all sides, force yourself to examine it
calmly-it isn't real, is it? What you
have been afraid of is nothing actual
nothing tangible, but just fgment
of your own imagination. And shall
this conquer you?
But why bother with it at all? Why
not invent for yourself radiant and
happy imaginings? You can, you
know.
"As a man thinketh in his heart,
so is he" Never was anything more
deeply beautiful and true than those
lines. We come in the end to be a
little like our dreams. Beautiful as
pirations and equisite hopes leave
their mark on everyone just as ugly
ones do.
Why should anyone invent terror
Omaha daily bee., 1917-09-13
Haze You imagination?

and horror for himself when he is
perfectly free to invent beautiful
things?
Not very many of us could think
of the exquisite fancies which Barrie
makes real for US in his marvellous
fairy tale plays. But all of us are
perfectly capable of making start
in the direction of thinking beautiful
thoughts.
We have way of training our
selves via suspicion and gossip and
ugly innuendo to imagine evil of our
neighborS if they make the tiniest
move in the direction which is not
absolutely conventional and not cas-
lily explicable. Fear, scandal, scorn
and hate are all poisonous emotions
which react on the individual who
sets them free. Long ago | heard
story of gentle old lady who
spoke kindly of everyone. One OF
her friends said to her: "My dear,
| believe you would think of some
thing good to say of Satan himself"
Half deprecatingly and far too
quickly to be the result of desire
to be clever or to pose, the old lady
replied: well, he's really awfully
energetic, you know"
An attitude like that is not a gift
of the fairies or some magic result
OF good fortune; it comes from keep
ing your attitude toward things clean
and sweet and wholesome. 1t is due
to training your heart in kindllness
to cultivate and house pleasant
thoughts.
1t is perfectly possible to make
up a dream world for yourself in
which everything shall be pleasant
and joyous. Vision is the quality
which makes men achieve great
things. Without vision America
would never have been discovered.
The telegraph and the telephone and
the steam engine are all dreams come
true.
If you have not the magnificent
gift of imagination which will fire
you to invent a cotton gin or spur
you to travel in search of the mouth
of an Amazon river. at least you
have imagination enough to look out
at the black clouds of storm-tossed
day and feel back of them the blue
Of kindly sky and the golden sun
light.
You know that the tiniest bud holds
the possibility of an apple blossom
and that apple blossoms promise
luscious fruit. 1t is easy enough to
imagine what you have seen. The
trick lies in imagining the unknown.
And whether you imagine it grim
and dour and threatening or beauti-
full and gentle and kind, is for your
self to decide.
Your imagination lies absolutely
under your control unless you will
fully choose to let it run away with
you. Even when you are dreaming
golden dreams you must remember
that you need force and action to
make them come true.
