continues:
"If peace is not made quickly and

tional exchange, however, some of
the members express doubt that they
can finish with their task in such a
short time.

TROUBLE IN RUSSIA
COMING WITH SPRING.

Vladivostok. Feb. 25.-(De-
layed.)-(By the Canadian
Press.)-A careful review of
the situation in Siberia, now
in possession of the Canadian
intelligence officers, predicts
much trouble in the spring and
early summer. due to the fact,
it says, that the masses of the
population are unsympathetic
to the present Omsk govern
ment. The foreign elements
supporting the Omsk. govern
ment share in unpopularity and
also the nations approving the
proposed Princess Island con-
ference have lost prestige
among the Russians. The lead
ing newspaper of Vladivostok
was suppressed Feb. "a for
criticism of the Omsk regime.

VIII Encourage Neighbors.

Encouragement will be given to
have counties adjoining Canyon con-
duct similar campaigns, both for theif
own good and to protect farms on the
county border from having the pests
cross to their land from the other
farms after their land has been
treated.
Excluding the labor cost, which will
necessarily vary, the bait, which is
poisoned wheat, will cost on an aver
age of 81 for enough to traeat 40
acre farm.
In Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska
where the bait to be used here was
tried out, the experiments were sue
cessful and in one trial made here by
Mr.. Zimmerman on a 40-acre farm
infested with IS gophers. 70 were
killed in the first treatment and the
remaining five we're exterminated by
the second application.
Can Enforce Poisoning.
Under the rodent control act where
landowner refuses to kill gophers
on his land after being notified the
county may hire the work done and
charge it against the owner when he
pays his taxes.
At the time lectures are given on
gopher poisoning, the proper way to
exterminate jack rabbits and spar
rows will be explained. Actual cam
paigns against those will, however,
be held later in the year.
