The coroners jury that held an in

inquire into the death of James R. Wag-
Wat7
PEASE
ner, find that he came to bia death from
a pistol shot fired by Isaac W. Mills,

Train No. 23, a through freight which

tbe other side of Umatilla. The acci

tially burned and rendered unsafe. The
locomotive crossed in safety, but the five
cars following, loaded with merchandise,
went down and were consumed, with tbe
bridge, by fire. No one was hurt.
Sqairrel Poison.
Among the numerous pests of the
farmer, the squirrels take first rank.
They pull np young corn to get the
kernel in the ground, devastating entire
fields, destroy cabbage and all young
and tender plants, and later eteal the
wheat from a field of grain, carry away
and bury potatoes, eggs, prunes, and in
a thousand different ways harass and an
noy the man who depends upon what he
raises for a livelihood. The .best way to
rid the fields of their presence is by
poison, which is a very thorough meth
od, if persevered in. Among the best
recipes is the following, taken from a
correspondent of the East Oregonian :
"Take one and one-half gallons of
warm water, add two pounds of sugar,
one-half ounce of powdered strychnine
and a small stick of licorice (squirrels
are very fond of the latter), stir the mi
ture until the. poison is entirely dis
solved, then put in what wheat the liq
uid will cover and let it stand over night.
In the morning empty the mixture into a
ucket that has a hole in the bottom and
lace it over the can in which you mixed
be poison until the liquid has drained
ff the wheat and you can utilize it again.
urchase your strychnine at some reli
able druggist's or in the crystalized form
and powder it yourself, as it is ire
quently adulterated. One small tea
spoonful of wheat prepared in the above
manner will destroy eight or ten squirrels
and they go for it every time."

ComparatlT Statement.
There has been some talk of reduc
salaries of teachers in the public schools
of the county. Believing that a com
parative statement of The Dalles with
other cities in this regard will aid the
board in considering the matter,' and
enlighten all citizens interested in the
public schools as well, we give space to
day to as accurate a table as it is possi
ble to get. It is very complete, showing,
besides the salaries of the places named,
which is believed to be representative of
the entire eection of country covered by
them, the census of school children,
average daily attendance, cost per pupil,
montns oi scnooi, etc. xne table is in-
ended to convey all needed information
s regards school work and will be valu-
ble for future reference.

The reason of the cost per pupil being
so low at Eugene is that the university
is located there and that pupils belong
ing to the higher grades are educated in
the higher school at state expense. At
La Grande, a big cut has recently bees
made on salaries, which accounts for the
low cost per pupil there.
