United States Senator Mitchell has introduced the following boat-railway bill: " That there be, and hereby is ap propriated, out of any money in the treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the sum of $500,000, in addition to the amount heretofore appropriated, for the construction and equipment of a boat-raizway from the foot of The Dalles rapids to the head of Celilo Falls, in Oregon; the same to be con structed under the direction of the sec retary of wa.r. in accordance with tne t plans and specifications of the engi neer department of the Unhed States', provided, that contracts may be en tered into by the secretary of war for such materials and work as may be necessary to complete the present pro- ject of improvement of the Columbia river at that point by the construction of a boat-railway, as aforesaid, to be paid for as appropriations may from time to time be made by law, not ex ceeding in the aggregate $1,764,467, ex' elusive of the amount herein and here tofore appropriated." If this measure goes through it is claimad by a Washington correspond ent it will be a part of the river and harbor bill, as must all other measures looking to the improvement of waterways. Hermann in the house. and Mitchell in the senate, Tiave intro duced bills, for proposed amendments to the river and harbor bill, covering all the improvements for Oregon. It probably gives some prominence to the improvements to have them pre sented in this way, and calls the atten tion of congress more directly to the big p-ojects on the Pacific coast. Mit chell's bill, however, will first go to the committee on transportation routes to the seaboard, where he is sure to work out a favorable report. This will give the project some standing in the senate. SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING. A Tax of Six Mill Levied In Dalles City School District.

' c Lye Will K1U, Them. C. W. gollis gives the Athena press man some valuable information in re gard to exterminating squirrels. A gentleman who was bothered more or less with these pests, hit upon the novel and inexpensive plan of clearing his place of thorn by the use of concen trated lye. He disolyedthe lye until It was like paste. He then spread a thin coating pn a chip, small flat stone, or anything at hand, which could be conveniently plaoed in the squir rels hole. When the squirrels come out they step in the lie. In a short time their feet begin to burn, when upsets Mr. squirrel, and into the mouth goes the injured foot, and there is one squirrel less on the ranch. Mr. Hollis', informant vouches for the destructive ppwer of lye as a squirrel destroyer, and as (here is considerable difference in the price of lye and strvoh nine and other poisons, - it will cost scarcely anything to experiment. Lye costs but 10c a can, while the price of strychnine is about $1.50 per. ounce. Try lye and see how 1 works.
