BEAUTIFY THE LAWN

Hardy Towering shrubs in irregular clumps and masses add greatly to the atractiveness of the lawn, and require but slight care after the first year. There is small initial cost, and while some hoeing is necessary the first year or two little attention will be re- quired afterward except to prune the shrubs each year.
 For such planting the following are recommended as satisfactory: Spirea Van Houtei, hydrangea paniculata grandiflora. Japan snowfall, rugosa rose, lilac, Lady Stanley althea, bush honeysuckle, Morrowii Thunberg's bar berry. Thunberg' g'sspirea and spirea Anthony Waterer. The first seven are medium-sized to large shrubs and should stand at least five feet apart with the United States. He was hand Ter, suitable as a border to any of the preceding ones, and should be placed three feet apart.

BERING COAL TO BE
 MINED IN THE FALL
(Cordova Times)

John Hutchinson, superintendent of the Clark Davis coal mine at Katalla, is in town for couple of days on brsi- ness and he is very optimistic over the mine he is opening up and which he expects to have on a shipping basis this summer.
 Mir Hutchinson is an experienced mining operator and he reports that this property is one of the most pro missing that he has ever handled, and it's product is high grade of anthra- cite coal. which can be marketed in competition with inferior coal from Washington state and British Colum- bia
 A patent has been granted by the government for this claim which is on the east side of Canyon creek in the Bering river field. There are two we'll defined veins or seams, and on No 1, it is six feet in thickness, and has been crosscut for four hun dred feet. While the outcropping is somewhat crushed there is fine body of hard coal On No. ? vein it is four and a half feet thick and in a solid condition.
 For some time past force of ten men has been engaged in opening up this mine, but the crew will soon be increased to forty. The present plan is to ship limited amount of coal this fall. and by next spring to have the mine opened up sufficiently to supply the local market with fuel In order to get it to a market, it will be necessary to haul it by rail to tide water at Controller bay a distance of eighteen miles. During the past year the work of constructing this railroad has been in progress and the grading has all been completed, with the ex- ception of driving some piling. The steel has been ordered. as we'll as cars and locomotives. and these will arrive at Katalla about May l, when the work on the road will be rushed to completion.

Most Of the common house ants OF
Idaho are spoken of as large or small
red ants, reddish brown, black or tiny
yellowish ants All these kinds or
species OF ants usually come from out
doors and must be killed In one of
three ways: % by mechanical de-
struction, which is rather tedious and
not always practical; CD by poison
ing, which takes the most time and
may not always prove successful 3)
by fumiga ton with carbon bi-sul-
This treatment Is not always depend
able II the nest runs under the cement
walk, a house, wall or stump.
Mechanical measures consist of
laying greasy bones or sugared spon-
ges in the ant trails and when the
ants have gathered In numbers,
plunging the bone or sponge into hot
water; or digging up their nests and
widely scattering them among the
chickens. Ant-proof cupboards, food
safes. or the removing of attractive
food from the reach of the ants will
usually cause the ants to stop work in
the house.
Where the nest is not easily found,
poisoned sweets may be set along the
trails SO that the ants will carry the
poison to the hidden nest and feed it
to the laying queen and brood before
they are themselves destroyed by the
poison. This method will in time
completely do away with the ants
since they are attracted to the bait.
Quite an effective poison is a syrup
made by using 3 grains of sodium
arsenite (soluble) In a spoonful of
water. added to 2 lbs. OF sugar dis
solved in "a pint of hot water. The
poison syrup may be soaked on bits
of sponge and placed along the ant
trails, or set sponges inside old tin
cans so dogs can't lap them.
Where the trail of the ants is easily
followed to nest in the SOL carbon
bi-sulphide may be applied prefera-
bly, towards dusk when most of the
workers are at home. With a stick
make three holes from three direc-
tions on the edge of the nest towards
the center. AS quickly as the stick
Is withdrawn each time, pour in an
ounce of the bi-sulphide and imme.
diately close with damp earth SO that
neither ants nor gas can come out
One or more wet sacks laid over the
nest will help to hold the fumes.

The Busy Birds.

One form of national waste which Is
far more serious than the American
people realize Is result of the deplor-
able neglect to conserve bird life in
this needless and ungrateful country.
OrnitholoSists and other intelligent
observers of nature who have made a
study of the subject say with the sane.
ton Of crop experts that insects de-
stroy one-tenth of the products of agri-
culture in the United States. Nearly
all birds destroy insect life. The fed
eral department of agriculture has
found that among the birds which
most effectively aid the farmers are
phoebes kingbirds, catbirds, swallows,
brown thrushes, rosebreasted gros-
beaks, house wrens, vireos, native spar.
rows, cuckoos. orioles, warblers, shore
larks. loggerhead shrikes and meadow
larks. Even the crow and the crow
blackbird, which have rested under sus-
picion so long, do more good than harm
to the farmers.-Chicago News.

This annual event among the
Bsnnock Indians Is Of such an in
1eresting character. that 80 give
the following account Of il a. taken
from the American Falls Press:
The historic sun dance Of the
Bannocks ended Thursday morning
with about six braves left TO have
bestowed upon themselves the ute
OF Official lodgemen for the year
Several cars from American Fall=
made nightly visits to the Bannock
camp few miles west Of Pocatsllo
70 see the weird dancing. hear the
continual chang Of the tom toms
and smell the acrid smoke from the
ever burning fires.
The dance began Monday morn
ing and lasted ~ hours continu-
ously. The dance is not for endur-
ance or yalor or bravery. II IS
guperstitious rite that the Indians
employ TO gain health and longe-
witty from their gods.
When a dancer gives out he Is
hauled from the dancing ring and
is left lying on the ground till ne
RECEIVERS, usually covered with
grass.
The dance takes place In large
ring which is approximately sixty
feet In circumference. In the center
Of the ring large pole is placed
surmounted by an immense bunalo
head. The dancers move from the
outside OF the circle towards the
pole and back again. Their faces
are turned steadily toward the pole
and their eyes never move from IT,
Many old men take part and the en-
durance some OF them exhibit is
marvellous.
Music for the occasion is fnr-
nished by drum and the tribe keep
up d mournful chant while 1t Is In
progress. The Indians are very
reticent about tho dance and refuse
TO talk about It, The strangers
who gather TO watch II are never
noticed. The dance keeps up till
those taking part are forced to stop
from sheer exhaustion Although
monotonous, the dance is most in
teresting and is yearly witnessed
by many people.
The individual who lasts through
the endurance test, which some
times lasts for days. becomes the
chief lodgeman. as 1t were. for the
year.

nothing Of the loss by abrasion, and
the amount which disappears by the

RAtDIk0 THE RATS.

A vigorous campaign Is being waged
In Boston by the Woman's Municipal
league. parallellng the efforts Of Phila-
delphias Civic club and other organ
lzations to get rid OF the rats. The
health authorities OF Philadelphia are
thoroughly awake to the menace the
rodents constantly present to life and
property, says Philadelphia Public Led
ger. This evil is forcefully reiterated
Ia the campaign literature sent out by
the women OF Boston In their newest
effort. Doctor Creel tells Boston that
the clty's 10000 rats cost II about
81, 10000 year directly In destruc-
ton. II the rats should import the bu-
bonic plague the cost would soon er-
ceed calculation. The United States
AT large Is supposed To lose s1S2.OOO,-
900 u year to the NAV OF the rat, OF
which S35OOO.OOO is ascribed TO the
cities the destruction by fire is to the
extent OF S15,0o0,OOO. The rat exceeds
the goat In omnlvorousness. Prom
soap to cream. from gas pipes to gar
bage, from the toughest OF old leather
boots to the daintiest OF eplcurean
dishes, II Is all the same to the rat"
Manufacturers, frulterers, proprietors
OF every sort or warehouse, Will fer
vently agree that the rat Is an unquali-
fed nuisance, an inordinate expense.

HUMAN ELEMENT IN ACCIDENTS.

Close observers are not astounded
by the statement made AT safety"
meeting that 10 per cent only Of in
dustrial accidents are due TO machine
failures. the remaining 90 per cent
being wholly chargeable TO man
failure" Students, however, will not
be satisfied with the simple state
ment, but will want TO know some
thing more. especially as 10 condi-
tions that contribute 10 this appalling
ly large percentage charged directly
TO mans share In the fault. II will
not do to say that In each instance
wanton carelessness is blamable,
says Omaha Bee. Psychologists are
no longer content with that explana-
ton. but are going deeper into the
causatlon Of accidents, seeking to de-
terinne just why the normal mental
processes at times break and the In
terrupted coordination between brain
and body ends Ia disaster. In the mat
ter OF Interpreting railway signals. for
example, II has been set up that reg
istered Impressions vary as TO individ-

arise In the operations OF modern in
dustry similar to those In the trans
portation service, and, while the safety
device may work with mechanical &C
curacy, the human factor cannot be
depended upon.
