Gasoline Ignites From Friction.
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. That the

This Enemy of Farmers In Particular
About What He Euts Result
of Experiments
0. 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. Echo News.

Enjoy Fine Trip.
S. W. Spencer and wife and 'A. L.
Ayers and wife . returned home
Thursday last from a vacation auto
trip of two weeks duration. The
trip took them across the mountains
and down to the coast country, their
destination being Crescent City, Cal
ifornia. Pleasant weather was ex
perienced the entire trip, and they
were especially pleased with the
northern California country where
they visited. Del Nortfl county in
the extreme northwestern portion of
Califrrnia is a oeautiful spot and the
people living there are very pros
perous to -all appearances, having
beautiful homes, fine farms and H)e
fat stock. The harbor at Crescent
City is being greatly improved and
a couple of million dollars is to be
expended in making docks, etc.
These tourists pronounce this the
finest trip they have yet taken.
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

ent of the O. W. It. & N. Co. Ben
