WAR ON PRAIRIE DOGS
TO BE CONTINUED IN 191Q
wa3 distributed at the holes through
out the dog towns, both by fore it
offl.e.s and by forest users. More
time was cons.imed in perfecting
the plan of cJo.ieratiou than had
been antlclpa'ed and much of the
bait was put out too late to obtain
the best results, though several
large dog towns were entirely clean
ed up. Experience hea proven that
Uie grain should be put out very
early In the spring In fact, just as
won as the aiimals appear from
their winter quarters, for the best re
mits may be obtained before green
grass becomes available.

as follows; I
The body of Charles Jessie, who I
was Instantly kl.led at the Paye

by the caving in of a bank of clay,
lies at Gordon's undertaking rooms
and his comrade. Mr. McAuley. has
been telegraphing a brother at Rose
viUe, Cal., of the acclJent and want

remains. The telegrams were report
ed, undelivered a tha brother is a
traveing man and was off In New
Mexico.
On Sunday evening Chief of Police
Farrington received a letter from
Mrs. I. Kimmers of Apartment 1,
1030 Stanyan street, San Francisco,
saying her brother Charles Jeasle
had left for Eugene some time be
fore and on Friday night she had
had a dream th :t he had been badly
hurt. The dream male such a vivid
imprejsion on her mind that she
wrote a letter to the ohlef, partic
ularly describing the young man,
whom she says, wa3 "six feat tall,
with fair complexion, red cheeks,
blue eyes and curly hair and a fine
looking boy," and putting a special
delhery stamp on the outside and
enclosing a 2-cent stamp for a reply
and especially asking the chief to
look Uie young man up and let nor
know of his whereabouts. Tha de
scription tallied exactly with that of
the young man who was killed and as

Mlss.oul, Sept. 6. The govern
ment's work In poisoning prairie dqga
on infected stock ranges in this !
National Forest district has had re
sults this year which forest officers
have decided warrant Its continuance
In 1910. For two years systematic
efforts upon an extensive scale have
bean made by the Forest Service In
cooperation with the stockmen, to
rid the National Forest range in
Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico
of these pests, but this work was not
undertaken In the Northwest until
the spring of 190'J.
Eastern Montana and the Dakotas
seem to be the worst-infested portion
of this district. The National Forest
areas of these regions are compara
tively small, but In some instance
colonies or town of these animals
cover an area of several hundred
acres and the native forage Plant
have been greatly Injured, while some
range areas ouUlde the forests have
been practically devastated.
In the spring of the present year
small allotments of funds were made
to the supervisors of the Custer and
Sioux National Forest for the pur
pose of starting thin work. The funds
were for the rno-vt part expended In
purchasing strychnine and other drugs
used in prepailng grain for bait,
while the groin was furnished by
the settlers.
The poisoned grain, usually wheat,
