Attempts made last spring at pois
oning prairie dogs in national forests
cn an extensive scale seem to have
hee-i highly successful In ridding se
lected areas of these small pests, and
j.ians are now being made to carry on
the work much more widely next
year.
The first experiments In this line
v.-re made In New Mexico by a stock,
man who has since entered the forest
service. In 1901 Dr. C. Hart Merri
ll m, chief of the division of biological
survey of the department of agricul
tural, made a report upon "The Pra
irie Dog of the Great Plains," In
whifh the damage done by the dogs
v. as pointed out, and various methods
of poisoning them were suggested.
This report of Dr. Merriam's may be
said to have blazed the way for prac
tical work In prairie dog extermina.
t!on.
Prairie dog are very obnoxious to
,thn stockmen, for they devour much
grass and undermine the surface of
the ground with their burrows. Where
t'.iey establish themselves the destruc
tion of the range Is only a question of
time.
Rar.ge improvement in national for
ests i one of the chief objections of
r trusting grazing. For this reason
the forest service Is leaving no stone
unturned to prevent range deteriora
tion Stockmen who had suffered
heavily from the prairie dog pest were
solicitous to have the work taken up,
and gladly offered to co-operate with
the service in furnishing men and
horses to distribute the poison.
To ascertain what success could bb
hr.d in riding considerable areas of
the west, a selection was made of
parts of the Leadvllle and Pike na.
tional forests which were badly In
fested. The region In these forests
upon which the dogs were located ag
gregated 300 square miles or more.
In order to demonsetrate the effec-

tiveness of the work an area of some
60 or 75 thousand acres of actual
dogtown was selcted for the test.
From $0 to 90 per cent of the dogs
v.ere killed with the first distribution
of. poison. It will be necessary to go
over the ground a second time and by
"spotting" the occupied holes the re.
n.ainlng dogs will easily be killed
with a very small amount of the
poisoning material. The average cost
per acre for the poisoning material
was only one and one-half cents, an.i
even then It was found that more ma
tt rial had been used than was neces
sary. The poison Is prepared by coating
wheat with a preparation ot strych
nine, cyanide of potassium, anise oil,
and molasses. When a sufficient
quantity Is ready, the poisoned wheat
Is carried to the field of operations.
There the stockmen supply men and
horses, the wheat is given out' to the
riders, and distribution begins.
Each rider carries the wheat In a
tin pail supported by a gunny sack
slung across his right shoulder and
hanging at his left side. His left
hand Is free for the reins. With his
right hand he uses a tablespoon to
measure out the poison and drop It
near the entrance of the holes. A
little practice enables the men to
drop the wheat while keeping their
horses at a sharp trot. By crossing
the town, to and fro, like ' a man
sowing grain, they can cover a large
area In a surprisingly short time.
The action of the poison Is almost
Instantaneous. Most of the prairie
dogs In a town are dead within an
hour or two after the bait Is dropped.
The work Is considered to have
demonstrated the entire feasibility of
fighting the prairie dogs In this way.
It was found, however, that to be
successful the poison must be scat
tered In the spring, when the dogs
first come out from their winter
quarters and before the green grass
Is offered to appease their hungry
appetite.
Next spring the poisoning wlli be
undertakn much more extensivly.
Stockmen and others who wish to try
the dog medicine on their own ac
count can obtain the formula for Its
preparation and directions for Its use
from the forest service.

I lie Mordecal Jones place near
Guler, Wash., sold one day last week
for $$0,000 to a pioneer resident of
Portland, H. McCracken, says an
Item from The Dalles. Mr. Jones i
a wealthy Welchman who owned sev
en hundred acres of valuable tlm
ber and orchard land between Trout
Lake and Huseru, Washington.
He ls'a, great disciple of the chase
and many are the bear and deer hides
that adorn his fine log mansion. He-
had the heads of bear and deer
mounted, and he used them to deco
rate his walls.
Mr. Jones owns five hunters, both
horses and dogs with. which he chased
the bep.r, the grizzly. At one time
here he owned a hundred fox hounds
which greeted the visitor arriving at
his gates, with loud baying that was
ulmost deafening.
as a usual tning tno dogs were
kept In an enclosure, and here they
were fed. It Is said that feeding
time for the hounds was quite a'n
event, and worth seeing; a hundred
dogs enjoying their meal, at one time,
Is something not seen every day In
America.
Mr. Jones and his wife were al
ways splendid entertainers at their
place known as "Hunter's Hill" and
many a wayfarer has enjoyed their
English hospitality. Just now Mrs.
Jones and sons are In England where
the latter are attending school, and
Mr. Jones has Just returned from an
extended hunting trip to Alaska. '
Last spring a year ago, it was no
uncommon sight to see Mr. and Mrs
Jones and a party of other hunters
out In the Trout Lake section, chas
ing cross country after bear, accom
panied by their trained hounds. Mrs.
Jones Is as enthusiastic a hunter as is
her husband, and the sound ,of the
horns when the game was brought to
lair, was musical, and quite English.
The people In this section will miss
Mr. Jones when he shall have left for
good, as he Is among them consid
ered a prince of good fellows.
' Defend Hypnotism.
New York, Aug. 26. A plea for
the use of hypnotism in the treat
ment of nervous ailments was made
today at the convention of the Na
tional Medical association.
To prevent the encroachments of
the sturdy lodge pole pino .and to
eliminate this conifer weed of the na
tional forests so that Its near rela
tion, the valuable yellow pine of
commerce, may have a chance to mul
tiply, Is the purpose of a visit to Ore
gon by T. T. Munger, an export In
sylvlcs, especially detailed by the for
estry department to make an exhauB-
tlvo study of the great Deschutes and
Fremont timber belts In central Ore'
gon.
These forests comprise more than
7000 square miles of territory In a
strip 120 miles long by 60 miles wide.
Now practically overrun by the use
less lodge pole, It Is the Intention of
the forestry department to replace
this timber with yellow pine which
will add millions of dollars to the vast
resources of the Beaver state.
Mr. Munger Is a graduate of tho
Yale forestry school. He has had
wide experience in the practical study
of sylvlcs and was selected by the de
partment at Washington for" his
knowledge of pine tree culture, to
make the Investigation of conditions
In Oregon.
As he has not as yet made any ex
tensive research Into the growing
timber In this state Just how the de
partment will carry out Its plans
with, regards to the progagatlon of
the commercial pine. He said:
Smim1 Three Months In Forests.
"I expect to be gone about three
months on my trip Into the Deschutes
country and will In that time go over
the ground thoroughly. We are as
yet unable to say why lodge pole pine
should reproduce more rapidly than
other species, but It is probably due
In large part to forest fires which dry
out the ground and change the soil
so that the lodge pole variety Is bet
ter adapted to the region In which
it Is now crowding out other trees.
"The government expects to find
some way to Improve conditions down
there by cutting the trees In a differ
ent manner. Of course It will take a
long time to bring about the change,
say 60 or 100 years, but Uncle Sant
Is In the forestry business for all time
to come and he has become accustom
ed to looking a long way ahead.
"In the. timber country east of the
Mississippi, both in the Adlrondacks
and the mountains of the south, we
find that after forest fires hardwood
trees, such as birch and others, re
produce more rapidly than pine. We
have successfully solved the problem
ot eliminating the growth of these
and supplanting them with commer
cial timber and have no doubt that
we will be able to solve the lodge
pole pine problem In a satisfactory
manner also. '
LtMlgp Polo Useful.
"This Is the first time In the his
tory of the forest service that this
particular phase of sylvaculture has
been presented and consequently It Is
hurd to say Just now what steps we
shall take to upbuild tho forests In
this section.
"In Idaho and other parts of the
northwest the lodge pole pine (rows
just as thickly as down here In Ore
gon, but in those districts the tree Is
valuable for lagging and other pur
poses, vto the mining Industry. So
the department does not worry over
the crowding out of other varieties
of pine where the lodge pole species
is of value to the country." .

Advances are made all along the

who now gets $15 per month, to a

whereas, there were over 4,000,000
