A Correction
The Journal was incorrect last
week in the statement that a recent
decision of the supreme court term
inates the term of county judges
elected in 1912 at the end of the
year 1916.
The judges effected are the ones
elected at the election held in 1910.
at the same time the six year law
for county judges was adopted.
These, the supreme court ruled,
were elected for but four years,
and their respective terms expire
on January 1 , this year.
It effects Crook county in that
Judge Springer will hold until

of work it would take to make a
success of this feature of the meet
ing, especially the banquet. Others
did, however, and came to my relief
in a manner that deeply impressed
me with the thought that we are
more dependent upon one another
than we sometimes think. Such
lessons and such experiences are
what cause us to think more and
more of our homes and our home
people. V. I. Dishman,
Chairman of Entertainment Com.
Prompt Action Necessary
Time and experience have fully
demonstrated the futility of virus
as a rodent exterminator, particu
larly, squirrels, gophers and mice
pests. Nearly all forms of poison
have given way to strychnine, and
for this purpose there is nothing
better than a strychnine coated
wheat. The cupidity of manufac
turers has in many cases led them
to diminish the amount of poison
below the safety point, with the
result that it has proven worthless
in use. Disappointment has also
arisen through improper coating.
Farmers today are depending more
and more on the well-tried, tested
brands of coated wheat for the de
struction of squirrels and gophers
No stock, fruit, grain or alfalfa
grower should jeopardize his crop
by failure to act promptly this
season.
These rodents are now asleep;
soon, with the warm sun's rays
their whistle will be heard and this
is the psychological moment to
sprinkle the poisoned wheat. A
few grains in the early morning,
dropped down each burrow, will
turn the trick. The long fast
makes the creatures ravenous and
the poison is immediately effective.
Fields have been shown, where
thousands of these rodents have
been destroyed in twenty-four
hours by this method-

Cor-
The Baker Morning Democrat of
Saturday last has an interview with
S. 0 Correll, the state secretary of
the Cattle and Horse Raisers' Asso
ciation, which eives something of
that gentleman's ideas of the con
vention just closed here. The in
terview follows:
"Yes, we returned last night
from the most successful cattle and
horse growers' meeting, and I dare
! say the most successful stock grow
ers' meeting of any character that
was ever held in the Northwest, '
said S. 0. Correll last evening.
"We reached Redmond at 7 p. m.
on the 8th instant, and, after a big
dinner, were given a free automo
bile ride to Prineville, some 20
miles distant, where we held a two
days' meeting, during which time
we received 67 new members, all of
whom except three were residents
of Crook county.
"We had a very busy and pros
perous session, and found the peo
ple of Crook county indeed royal
hosts. Fifty automobiles were at
our disposal at all times, and when
ever we could secure a breathing
spell we were taken to view the
many interesting spots in the
vicinity of Prineville. The Prine
ville Commercial Club and Ladies'
Annex tendered us a reception and
smoker on Tuesday evening, and on
Wednesday evening they furnishei
us not only the best but the most
elaborate banquet that it has ever
been my privilege to enjoy.
"Yes, I can furnish you with the
menu, but it would require at least
four columns of your Daper to
print it. Three hundred and ten
plates were laid, and among the
many good things that were served
were 84 roasted chickens. There
was food enough for at least double
the number served. Ex-Congress
man J. IN. Williamson presided as
toastmaster, and in this position he
has but few equals and no superiors.
The responses were numerous and
interesting. The literary and
musical program furnished by the
Prineville orchestra and other local
talent would ha ve been a credit to
any city.
"The next annual meeting will be
held in Baker, the birthplace of the
association, on the second Tuesday
n February, 1916, and I certainly
hope that our community will
furnish our visitors as good enter
tainment as Prineville did for ' us;
in fact, I would be glad if we could
surpass them, but I know that this
is impossible.

brought him as far as Hot Lake,
but found it was necessary to leave
him there a few days that he might
recuperate. Wm. Duby and
