What came near being a very serious affair occured last Saturday evening when Mrs. C. L. O'Neill was cleaning some clothing with gas oline. While vigorously rubbing a cloth garment between her knuckles to remove an obstinate spot tha gas oline ignited from the friction and the flames quickly communicated to Mrs. O'Neill's clothing and also to a partly-filled flve-galloi can of the oil standing near by. Luckily the work was being done in the yaTd and the lady had suf ficient presence of mind to throw herself upon the ground and smother the flames upon her person by rolling on the grass, after which, with the assistance of a neighbor, the fire in the clothing she had been cleaning was extinguished by throwing earth on it, thereby preventing it from communicating with the house. Mrs. O'Neill was quite severely burned about the body and hand3, but not seriously, end considerable clothing was destroyed.

A. C, Corvallis, August 7. l andelions are an erfectlve bait for poisionlng the pocket gopher, the enemy most dreaded by the Willam ette Valley farmers, according to G. T. Skyes, professor of zoology in the Oregon Agriculture College. t "Experiments made during the last two years," said Professor Skyes, "show that the hard baits such as parsnips and carrots, generally rec ommended by state and federal bul letins throughout the country are not greatly appreciated by the pocket gopher. The little animal, it seems, forms a habit of eating some par ticular food, much as human beings do. Gophers in the vetch patch prefer vetch to almost any other food, gophers iu the clover like only clover, while those on the hillside:', eat different food from their relatives iu the valleys. .' "In selecting a bait for foisoning, therefore, it was found necessary to cater to the appetites of the gophers according to the prevalent vegeta tion, or to find one plant that they would take in preference to any other food." Many varieties of food were tried and it was found that on an average gophers of all localities would take dandelion iirst. It was found that the hard baits were picked up anil carried buck to the general storage house where they were seldom if ever touched. Dan delions, however, were eaten at once', tucked under the edge of the nest where they could be easily reached. When the dead gophers were dug up they were alwa;s found near the point in the runway where the Tlan delions had been placed, ot lying by the nest. These feeding experiments have been carried out and brought to a successful completion by H. M. Wight, former instructor in zoology, who is now with the 91st division on his way to France. James M. Leezer, formerly a farm er in the Echo country, died at Port land this week at the age of 77 years. He farmed on the Meadow3 in 1887.

Fruit and Vegetable Evaporation 0. A. C, Corvallis, August 6. "Evaporation of Fruits and Vege tables in the Home," is the title of Extension Hulletin No. 296, just off the press, in which A. F. liarss, assistant professor, of pomology, gives sufficiently detailed informa tion to enable anyone to construct and operate an evaporator and to evaporate satisfactorily most of the fruits and vegetables used in the average homa. , The' object in evaporation IT; to preserve the fruits and vegetables thromrii removal of moisture and to do this with as little change from the i'relli state as possible in taste, odor, nutritive qualities, and general ap pearance. The particular method used may vary, but the object sought Is the same In every case. In some instances there may be a change in color and flavor between the fresh and dried products, but the nutritive value, so far as has been determined, remains practically unaltered, there being merely a concentration of the food material through the removal of water. The principle upon which the process of evaporation is based is that by removing enough of the moisture present In fruits and vege tables, the organisms which cause food to spoil cannot live, and grow, thus bringing about preservation. Evaporation will also arrest the natural processes of ripening and decaying. Ben Griffiths left for Portland Saturday and will take up work in the office of the general superintend ent of the O. W. It. & N. Co. Ben has been freight agent at the local depot for the past two months and now steps into a better position with the company. His place here is being filled by Jasper Crawford.
