The gray squirrels, usually re
ferred to as the “ Digger” squirrels,
are liable soon to renew their trou
blesomeness, and those who want to
grow garden.«- will have the little
pests to contend with. C. C. Shaf-
ford has put out poisoned wheat for
them, and others along the brow of
the hill where the most trouble is
experienced will, perhaps, do like
wise. Of course, it will be necessa
ry to keep the hens and chickens
where they wont get the wheat.
Another New Wood Treating
Factory for. Estacada
A representative of the firm of
Fi::her, Thorsen & Company of the
city of Portland has visited Estaca
da several times lately, and has de
cided to build an establishment here
for the purpose of treating material
from the new sawmill in a manner
that will make it last longer. The
factory is usually called a “ dipper’ ’
and is especially for the treatment
of railroad ties. The site chosen is
near the wood factory.
