HINTS AT BRIBERY. NO. 10 . A BRICK FACTORY. The New Burine»» now for Dallas. I Assured Saturday the Itemizer Realty concern disposed o f 10 acres of the Evan Evans place east of town to Mr. G. M. Partridge, of Medford, who will within the next ten days establish there an up to date outfit o f machinery for the making o f first class brick and tile. He expects to have a kiln ready for market some time in May, early enough for any buildings which may be erected here thi3 year. Mr. Partridge has been all over our valley looking for a location, but finds no location so ideally suited for the purpose as that right here. It also has the advantage of being right on the railroad | and his product in each line can be shipped whenever he wants it. He expects not only to cater to the local trade for both brick and tile, but also to work up such an outside one as to keep a number of men employed all the season. ---- ----- * m ♦ 1 An Inquiry. i w \ M w u » w r tw w w w \ w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w m w m w Boss Squirrel Poison Kills As the area of cultivated soil has increased in this western country, it has also transpired that not only is the revenue from the land multiplying, but the Squirrels, Gophers and Prairie Dogs have found an enlarged field for their operations. Remedies have been sought for that would eradicate these pests and many have been placed before the public inviting their use. Strychnine, while largely used, has not proven satisfactory in •THE BLST rVER" all cases and the rancher has been looking for other poisons more potent. This caused us to place upon the market our “ B o s s ” S q u ir r e l P oison and the growing demand for this preparation speaks loudly for its merit. The name “ B o‘' 2 ,r is no misnomer, for it has won its way into the favor of an increasing number of patrons each year who are our best advertisers. We have sought diligently to give this problem the attention it demands and are placing before the public, in our ‘‘ B o s s ’ ’ S q u ir r e l P oison , a product which can be relied upon if it is POT OP ONLY BY used according to directions.
