"Christmas
Lights'
Little lights, glowing "to
light the Christ Child on his
way," Rhine from the win
dowa of the home of Carter
(1. HarrUon of Chicago on
Christmas eve.
The wife or Chicago's for
mer mayor hag observed the
ancient custom every Christ
mas eve within the reached
of her memory.
"There would be something
missing from Christmas eve
If the little lights were for
gotten." Mrs. Harrison said.
"It would be like a Christmas
without a tree."
Joseph Murray, attorney. Is
-another prominent Chieagoao .
w ho never has let Christmas
eve pass without helping to
keep this pretty Christmas
custom alive.
Mrs. William A. Amberg of
the Christ Child society re
gards the revival of the cus
tom as "a pretty tribute to
the Ideals of Christmas."
. The following formula is fur
nished us by the Forest Service for
rabbit poisons.
A. 14 qts oats, 1 ounce strych
nine alklaoidai powder, I ounce
soda-bi-carbonate (baking soda,) 1
pint starch solution.
Place 14 quarts of oats in a
receptacle such as a galvanize J wash
tub. Mix one tablespoonful of ordi
nary dry gloss starch with one tea
cup of cold water. Add this to a
pint of hot water and boil until
clear. This starch should be
smooth and freefrom lumps. Add
the strychnine powder and soda,
then beat until the solution is of
the consistency of cream. A small
teacup of table salt dissolved in the
hot water previous to adding the
solution occasionally increases the
efficiency of the poison. Pour this
cream mixture over the oats and
mix thoroughly until grain is coat
ed. It is a good plan to let the
grain stand a few hours and then
mix again. Distribute in large
tablespoonful about stock yards
or previously baited poison corrals
from which stock is excluded. It is
a good plan to bait these corrals
with a few forkfuls of green al
falfa hay a few nights pervious . to
exposing the pcison and thus get
the rabbits to feeding there re
gularly. Clear cold nights, when
snow is on the ground and the rab-
j bits, natural food supply scarce, is
the best time to expose poison.
Every quart should make from
twenty-five to thirty-five doses.
B. 16 lb. alfalfa hay chopped in
2 inch lengths, 1 ounce strychnine
sulphate. 2 gals, water.
Dissolve the ounce of strychnine
and the two gals, of hot water and
then sprinkle over the chopped hay,
mixing until all the moisture is
absorbed. This poison must be

Vote Polled Peoples Again
Chosen Treasurer
D. F. Stewart was re-elected
mayor on Tuesday, and George P.
Reams. H D. Still and W. J. Pan-
; cake were returned to the council
without opposition.
George F. Euston was elected re
corder over George H. Whiteis by a
vote of 110 to 49. This was the
only contest on the ticket, and as a
result the election was the quietest
; municipal contest held for many
; years in Prineville.
j D. H. Peoples was elected to suc
j ceed himself as treasurer by a vote
i of 144 which was the greatest
) number of votes cast for any of the
! candidates
The Bancroft bonding act and the
j city liability referendum both
i passed by more than a two to
I one vote, the exact figures on the
j former being 110 ves and 44 no,
i and on the la'ter 109 yes and 42 no.
Lack of contest was the cause of
less than one-half the voters going
to the polls.
The vote received by the various

Pancake 141; H. D. Still 142, and
George P. Reams 138.

HAKE STYLISH HATS
Two Philadelphia hatters recent
ly communicated with representa
tive Sinnott and asked him to have
sent them by express 0 Oregon
jackrabbit skins with which they
wish to experiments They had
heard of Mr. Sinnott's now famous
hat and one manufacturer explained
that as there is a decided shortage
this winter in fur suitable for felt
i hat manufacture he and others are
being forced to find some other
supply.
He told Mi . Sinnot that if he
found the Oregon rabbit fur suit
able for making hats he would
place an order for a large number
of pelts. He explained that rabbit
skins should be stretched and dried
on boards before shipment and
asked that this be done with the
skins to be sent him. Mr. Sinnott
telegraphed to Crook County to
have 100 skins prepared and for
warded as soon as possible.
Meantime another consignment
of Oregon rabbit skins has been
ordered for another factory which
has shown renewed interest. Mr.
Sinnott believes that if the Phila
delphia experiment proves satis
factory there will be a large and
profitable market for jackrabbit
skins throughout the remainder of
the Winter.
