Phantom Lights and Death Ships on

All along the Cornish shores the phan-
tom ship is thoroughly believed in. as
also are the phantom lights. Some years
ago schooner rigged vessel made sig.

Bay. A coble that put out reached her
and one of the seamen made a grasp at
her bulwarks IN order to jump on board ;
but his hand met nothing solid, and as he
tumb.ed back into the boat tho schooner
and her sailing lights disappeared in
the darkness Next morning a schooner
out Of the port OF London was wrecked
within the Same vicinity, and all on
board her perished. The phantom light2

Cornish seamen call them Jack Harrys

The death ship Is superstition pc

her canvas set, against the wind and

times there is seen when the mists are

Reorganizing This Town.

Governor MILLER and the Legisla-
ture will make no mistake to have
two separate and distinct investiga-
tious Of New York city affairs. Graft
and corruption, no new things in this
town, and perhaps always to be with
us in some degree, can be treated with
the usual legislative remedies. But
more expert service by very serious as
well as able men Is needed 10 redeem

from the maladministration, inefi-

gence of public opportunities, privi-
leges and duties.

ton Of the Legislature, has shown how

Of reorganization to do the same thing
with the United States Government
What can be done with the Federal
and the State governments. whose op-
erations for years had been 4 mere
mockery of business methods and
business results, can be done with this
city. 1t must be done unless its tax
burden is to break the public's back.
Its credit is to be utterly lost and
pefhaps its treasury bankrupt.
~ The government of this town leeds

hands OF q receiver. If New York city
does not require wholly new mu-
nicipal structure TO bring the local
system of government up to date, to
get rid of the dead wood and to estab-
lish and enforce economic efficiency,
at least 1t does need to be so changed
in form and in substance that the
local politician and Office holder of the
last several years would never recog-
nize it.
AS the receiver starts afresh with
the decayed and useless business
house, tearing away and dieyirg
down TO the very fcundatirl, no
simple change of municipal adj
ministration or OF party control of
municipal administration can make q
sound proposition out of the business
ruins to which this local government
has been reduced by ignorant as well
as faithless management. reckless as
well as INSCRIPTIONS spending and
selfish as well as sordid politics. THE
whole political crew should be cleaned
ont from cellar TO garret but the mu-
nicipal institution itself should be
torn to pieces, replanned and recre-
nted on the right foundations.
This is a big undertaking. but If

City to Rebuild
Conduit Beneath
Main Street
CHANNEL OF DRY CREEK WILL
BE ENLARGED TO GUARD
AGAINST ANOTHER FLOOD

Enlargement of the conduit which
carries Dry creek under Main street,
i'm the heart of the business section of
Grangeville has been virtually decid-
ed upon by the city council. Rebuild
ing Of the conduit was deemed neces-
saiN in order to carry away flood wa
tiers, which might result from future
downpOur, such as that which caused
much damage to property here on May
2l, when the passageway was not
large enough to drain off water which
backed up behind concrete buildings on
the south side Of Main street.
The city plans to excavate a much
wider channel for the creek, and to
temporarily bridge the creek with
wood. Later a concrete bridge prob
ably win be built.
Owners of store buildings under
which the creek passes quite likely
wiz enlarge the conduit beneath
the stores. The city, it is asserted,
will bear none of the expense of widen
ing the channel Of the creek save
whore it crosses the street.
AT the regular meeting of the city
council, Monday night, the matter was
discussed, and Mayor W. L. Campbell
appointed the membership of the
council committee to investigate the
project. The committee met Tuesday.
and virtually decided upon program
Of action.
At the council meeting, the Grange
Vile Globe was designated to print city |
ordinances for he ensuing two years
at price of > 1-12 cents for each g.

Pavey Gives Formula for
Bait and Instructions to
Farmers for Mixing Poison

Grasshoppers, which two years ago
caused serious damage to crops in
Idaho county, are again appearing on
Camas Prairie Ralph NJ. Pavey, coun-
ty agricultural agent, reports the
poisoning of several acres of newly
Matched grasshoppers on the Charles
Bourland ranch, west of Grangeville.
These hoppers had destroyed growing
grain when discovered.
A field of hoppers on the William
Spencer ranch, north Of Fem, was
poisoned this week. Mr.. Pavey has
advised farmers to carefully watch
their fields for signs of grasshoppers.
The idaho county farm burau has
poison on hand which will be avail
able at the SAME places this year
as it was in 1920. Farmers wishing
TO do so. can obtain poison at the coun-
ty agent S office or at the sheriff S
office in Graageville.
TIL eformula for mixing grasshopper
bait is as follows;
Bran or coarse saw dust, % pounds,
white arsenic | pound, y dozen lemons
or ounce Of amyl acetate, cheap mo-
lasses u gallon, water 3 or 4 gal
Ions In this mash formula anyone
who can obtain coarse saw dust can
substitute it for bran. The substi

Amyl acetate was used last year

tana state college as substitute for
citrus fruits. In. these experiments
