County Agent Notes

A fresh supply of gopher poison
has been mixed this week and will
be ready for distribution within the
next few days. A new formula
has been used in the mixing process
and it is expected that much better
results will be secured this year.
The same agencies as last year
will again handle the poison. In
this way it will make it more con
yenient for those living in different
parts of The country to secure the
poison. The places where the 60
Dher poison may be secured are:
County Agents office, Plenty
wood; Farmers Elevator Co., Red.
stone; Farmers Elevator Co, Out
look; RAYMOND Hardware, Ray
mond, Jacob Tweet, Comertown
Farmers Grain 4 Trading Co.
westby; Farmers Elevator, Homt
stead; Farmers Elevator, Medicine
Lake; Farmers Elevator, Reserve
Farmers Grain & Shipping Co., An
telope; Farmers Cooperative Store
Dagmar,
Gopher poison should be spreac
early, before the breeding season
BY killing one gopher early in tht
year it will mean the elimination O
many later on.

Disastrous Fire Visits
SCObey for Second Time

Daniels County Leade--Another
conflagration which tor time
threatened TO exceed the property
loss of the Battleson fire jus, three
weeks ago, destroyed another Of
Scobeys mercantile establishments
last Thursday evening when the
Outlet company store owned by
David and Ben Shaich, was left in
ruins.
Starting from undetermined cause
III the basement the blaze spread
quickly, seeking an outlet in the
building and when il was discovered
by one of the clerks smoke was so
deuse he quickly retreated aud gave
the alarm.
Chief Dalquist and his crew were
on the job III remarkably short time
with both chemical and main hose
lines. Lack of openings through
which to do effective work hamper
ed the firemen who quickly drown
ed out the first blaze viSabIe through
the dense smoke However. the
flames had crept up into the walls,
covered inside and outside with gall
vanized iron and the cutting of the
| first few holes in the walls which
revealed 10 fire or heat deceived
the boys into thinking they had the
fire under control.
Making hole in the floor of the
store to oveTcome basement parti-
tions. gave the smothering flames a
draft and from then on the fight
was waged to prevent the spread of
the fire to adjoining buildings.
The David Brothers and Ben and
Mrs. Shaich were driven from the
building before they had an oppor-
tunity TO save their books or close
| the safe After several unsucceSs-
full attempts by the owners to gain
an entrance through the smoke
Ralph Greeneard produced a war
time gas mask and with this pro-
lection Geo. Ruth and the property
owners took turns in entering the
office and all of the books were fin
ally rescued and the safe locked.
The mask was also used by nozzle
men who entered the basement and
drowned out all visible embers fur
ther work being prevented by the
many partitions of store rooms
where big stocks of canned goods,
potatoes and other stocks were
stored.
| About this time flames broke
through the roof of the building and
! occupants of adjoining buildings
began moving their stocks. Post
master Bennett got all the contents
of the Office loaded onto trucks and
had engaged the only vacant build
ing in the city in case it was need
ed Mike Skadron soon had his
grocery stock on the street and on
TO trucks. Skadron carries no in
surance His loss from broken,
otherwise damaged and missing
goods will run oyer $500. His open
candy case, sitting on the street,
made the fire a sweet night for the
small boys.
Harry South began moving his
stock until the Fire Chief advised
him it would be unnecessary. The
strong wind from the south made it
advisable to move the library and
records from the county buildings
occupied by the county attorney
and the sheriff, which later proved
unnecessary work.
Ben Shach informed the Leader
that he, could not say for certain
until his brother returnd whether or
not they would rebuild, but lack of
other suitable buildings for their
growing business would almost make
it necessary TO start building at
once.

FOUR MILLION TONS OF
 ORE KNOCKED DOWN

It was not an earthquake that rocked Juneau at an early hour Tues day morning. It was just big shot, the result of touching off 13 tons of powder where it would do the most good in dislodging ore.
 Superintendent L. H. Metzgar is authority for the statement that the big shot performed the duty expect ed of it in that it dis1odged what is estimated to be four and half mil lion tons of ore. As the capacity of the tram system of the company is upwards of 12,0OO tons every 24 hours, the ore dislodged is sufficient to furnish a supply for at least 300 days.
 The Alaska Juneau company was never on such a substantial and pros porous basis as at present and it is a safe prediction that the future holds even bigger and better things for it. The A. J. is a monument to its management, a credit and boon to the mmunity.-Stroller' Week. ly.

Big game is plentiful in he country and the aviator believes in time it will attract sportsmen from near and far. Claims have been staked right from the landing field to a point five miles up the river, but there is plenty of ground to be staked yet.

Jack Wilson, whose official duties consist in seeing that Indians look not upon red flicker" when it stand eth alright in the glass, came to town this week from Port Walter, where he spent several weeks in connection with his duties. Jack tells of a party of strangers who came to Port Wal ter to engage in fishing and, having heard that Alaska is the Mecca of all hunters, sallied forth one day in quest of game. They had gone but a short distance when they spied a flock of goats, six in all The men were good shots and all the goats fell before their unerring aim.
