On Tuesday some miscreant stole
the $6.00 new guide rope from the

will probably be able to track the
thief and recover the rope. Last
Sunday night the old rope was cut
in such a way that if gravel teams
were to cross, it would part in mid
stream, allowing boat teams and
all to go down the -river. It was
discovered in time and a new rope
purchased to take the place of the
old one. The rope cost $6.00 and
is just such a rope as needed in
logging and mining camps. It is
thought that it was a deliberate
scheme on the part of some one
needing the rope to get it in this

Dr. Cross, of Portland, delivered
the Commencement Day address on
Wedneeday morning. In a. clear
and masterful way he showed the
preeminence of wisdom over money.
Money is a partial defense against
many of the ills of life but wisdom
is a more complete defense. Many
of the greatest blessings of life
rooney cannot buy, but wisdom be
stows them upon those who seek
after her. Lay not up riches for
your child unless your child is lay
ing up wisdom for himself.
Rats by the Thousands
E. J. Dunn, of the firm of
Dunn & Thatcher, in this city,
has received several letters and
newspaper clippings from his old
home in Illinois giving accounts
of an unprecedented migration of
rats. Millions of rats have sud
denly made their appearance,
doing great damage to cattle and
grain. Where the invaders came
from is a mystery to the farmers.
The rats appear to be most
numerous in Mercei county, but
there are many thousands in the
adjoining counties.
An idea of the magnitude of
the pests can be gained from the
fact that F. N. Montgomery, of
Preemption, in two weeks sue
ceeded in capturing and killing
3435 of the rodents, using steel
traps to catch them. In spite of
this enormous slaughter his farm
is still over-run, and there ap
pears to be no diminishing ot the
number. The rats attack droves of
hogs, biting them and tearing
their flesh, which results in blood
poisoniag. Hundreds of hogs are
being killed in this manner. The
rats also kill little pigs outright
and devour them. These com
plaints come from all parts of
three counties. Poisons have been
used, catsiby the hundreds have
been imported into the counties,
but there is no abatement ot the
plague, and the farmers are great
ly worried over the outcome. r
