RECORDS BRING MUSIC TO ALL The develpoment of phonographic in struments has been wonderful, and the records made by the large companies engaged in such tiusinesg are now the medium of bringing the opera, the pop ular song, ballads and classics to all people. The present season of grand opera at the New York Metropolitan opera house is specially notable for two reas ons: Owing to the great European ,ar New York is the only one of the large operatic centers to give its regu lar projected season of grand opera; the magnificent revival of Carmen with an all star cast, including Farrar, Caruso. A Ida and Amato, has proved one of the greatest successes ever known in tho history of opera. With such unusual interest attaching to thifl revival of Carmen, still tho Vic tor company has offered the public rec ords of the wonderful sours in its Feb ruary list of new records. Indeed, for those who want it, music may be had by anyone now. F.very home can have the kind of music it de sires for the field from which one may i hose selections is unlimited.

C0MMISM"VANTS TO COMPLETE SURVEY The State Highway Commission is eHger to complete the survey of the Columbia Highway through this county. J. A. F.lliott, who has made the survey from the Multnomah county line to the city and who has charge of the high way work in the county, was here Tuesday to see County Judge Stanton, who, however, was away. at the Taco ma fruit growers' meeting. Fngineer F.lliott desires that the court call a special session in order that the work may be begun at once. "We feel that the'eourt ought to ap nrnnriate the funds for I hp u.rrb making the survey in the east end of ine county, says Mr. Elliott, since S. Benson paid fur the entire survey in the west end of the county." The survey cost Mr. Benson some thing like $5,000. The distance of the survey between here and the Wasco line is about four miles and it is estimated that the work can be done for about f 1,000.

S. girls' and hoys' bas kct ball teams won and lost respective ly, to The Dalles aggregations last Friday night. Because of the rivalry existing between the teams the games were hotly contested. The girls' game was played first. 1). H. S. lead off the scoring by utilizing a free throw but that was all they were allowed in the first half and the score ended 9 to 1. In the last half D. H. S. annexed two baskets and two fouls and the H. R. 11. S. feminities added two baskets and three fouls to their substantial lead. The final score was lti-7.

For East Rutherford substitute Hood River, use the word cat owners instead of dog owners and substitute "meouw" for bark. Then enforced it would make a pleasing ordinance in Hood River. J. H.

With a plate of fresh salmon eggs displayed in the windows of Garrabrant & Parker last week; with a warm sun shining down, bees beginning to buzz and flowers to grow, it was easy to get the fishing fever. Time and experience have fully dem onstrated the futility of virus as a ro dent exterminator, particularly squir rels, gophers and mice pests. Nearly air forms of poison have given way to strychnine, and for this purpose, there is nothing better than . a strychnine coated wheat. The cupidity of manu facturers has in many cases, led them to diminish the amount of poison below the safety point, with the result that it has proven worthless in use. Dis appointment has also arisen through improper coating. Farmers today are depending more and more on the well tried, tested brands of coated wheat fur the destruction of squirrels and gophers. No stock, fruit, grain or alfalfa grower should jeopardize his crop by failure to act promptly this season. These rodents are now asleep; soon, with the warm sun's rays, their whis tle will be heard, and this is the psy chologcial moment to sprinkle the poi soned wheat. A few grains in the early morning, dropped down each bur row, will turn the trick. The long fast makes the creatures ravenous and the poison is immediately effective. Fields have been shown where thousands of these rodents have been destroyed in 24 hours, by this method. "My great animosity against cats was created several years ago, when one of the rascally animal entered my woodhouse where I had put an old hen and 13 little chicks," says D. A. Turn er, who now has a Hood River wide reputation for his ceaseless warfare on wild cats that do so much damage to the song birds of the city. "I do not hate a cat just because he ia a cat, but it is these homeless wild fellows that maraud for a living. I don't like that kind of a cat, nor do I like the home less cur and worthless dog. When the little chickens that I mention above were hatched out we put them in the woodhouso for safe keeping. The cat entered bewteen the rafters and before we found what he was up to be had killed all but two of the chickens. Since that time I have made every effort to cacth and kill all of the cats that have been so unfortunate as to come within my reach." The city of Hood River has no greater sponsor for song birds. He not only speaks in their behalf, but his actions have no doubt saved many. One year Mr. Turner killed as many as 50 cats that were caught in his box traps. His back yard is composed of a deep sandy soil. When be gets a cat he simply digs a hole five or six feet deep, and "down goes Thomas to the bottom of the well." The cat traps are easily made and Mr. Turner recommends the use of more of them in the city. He is wil ling to explain the methods of making and operating them to any one who will visit him at his home on East Sherman avenue. While Hood River people fortunately have never been troubled from coyotes having rabies, the predatory animals have made raids on chickens and pigs of some of the ranchars in the more ROCKFORD STORE Rubber Footwear 10 Clark's Thread, 6 for Castoria Standard Tomatoes, 3 for Old Dutch Cleanser, 3 for Pearlinc Canned Shad PINE GROVE STORE All Shoes 1-4 Kalsomine Shinola Spring Clothes Pins, 3 doz Lighthouse Cleanser Van Camps Spaghetti Monopole Oysters, No. 2 be sent to branch store on special orders Pine Grove remote districts. The fear that the epidemic of rabies has thrown into ranchers of eastern Oregon has caused a widespread horror. In an effort to aid in the destruction of coyotes Supervisor Bingham, of the United StateB, National forest has ad vised the use of poison. He says: "A poison should be selected that will lose its effectiveness in a short time after being placed, so that in case it is not picked up by a coyote it will do no damage. The Northwest Hide & Fur Co., Minneapolis, Minn., sells a poison of this character in the shape of a small capsule containing enough poi son to immediately kill a coyote. The price is $1.75 per 100 capsules. In or dering these capsules, it must be stated for what purpose they are in tended so that the proper size will be Becured. Different sized capsules are required for different animals. These capsules are called, 'Sure death poison capsules.' "To prepare capsules for use, take a roll of old butter, preferably a little rancid. Warm it until it is soft enough to handle well, but not enough to melt it. Care must be used not to touch the butter with the hands. Use a small wooden paddle that has no human scent to it. With this paddle cut off a piece of butter about the size of a marble ; lay it on an uncsented board and flat ten it out; place the capsule on the strip of butter; roll the butter around the capsule, leaving it ia a nearly round as possible. Take a small pair of wooden pincers and place the butter rolls in a jar that is free from scent. Never use metal to handle the butter or capsules-always use wood." Then let the butter rolls freeze or harden and keep them in a cool place until used. The carcass of an old cow or horse should be used as bait a fresh carcass preferred. Place the bait on top of noil or hill, such aa coyotes frequent. Avoid ground cov ered with brush. Do not kill the bait by shooting, but by severing the main arteries in the neck. All operations must be done from horseback so that no odor will be left on the ground to keep the coyotes away. Throw two or three dozen carpsulea around the car cass, either in the snow or under nat ural debris. GEM PROGRAM TODAY The thirteenth and fourteenth epi sodes of "The Perils of Pauline" are being seen at the Gem today. The gypsy girl, to atone for her betrayal of the band, sends Pauline a basket of flowers in which is hidden a live and ar.gry rattlesnake. Pauline hurries her face in the flowers, but Harry dashes the basket to the ground just in time. The snake strikes at him, but he throws a blanket over it and throws it from the window. The gypsy girl ia found hiding in the grounds, but Owen treacherously permits her to escape. Pauline buys a race horse which Owen pursuades her to ride in a steeple chase. Owen has the horse drugged and in the coyrse of the race the ani mal falls but Pauline miraculously es capes. Recovering from the shock, Harry and she set out for a house par ty in the Adirondacks. Owen has the gypsies follow them. Disguised as mountaineers the gypsies decoy Paul ine and Harry from the party and plan to do away with them. After a des perate struggle Harry freea himself from the band and seizing Pauline dashes away with her.

Owen and his hired band of gypsies still endeavor to do away with Pauline and Harry. Owen finds an old half ruined mill and in which he sees possi bilities for his dastardly purpose. He orders the gypsy leader to set Harry's factory on fire. This is done and the conflagration spreads over half the city. Harry and Pauline are carried away by the gypsies and put into the cellar of the ruined mill, a room with out windows and the only entranco walled up. The gypsies then blow up the mill race and the water rushes inte the cell until the two prisoners are up to their necks, while swarms of fren zied rats attack them. They escape by diving to the old fireplace and going up the chimney. From thence they go hand over hand by a cable across a river to safety. Good fire scenes and plenty of thrills. Friday and Saturday The stage's greatest comedy star, Marie Dressier, supported by Mabel Norniand and Charles Chaplin in the side splitting six reel comedy. The world's greatest comedy. Prices 10 and 20 cents. "Tillie'a Punctured Romance." Til lie, a country maiden, was throwing blocks of wood for her dog to fetch her. Charlie, a city chap, wanders into range and recieves an unusually large block in the middle of his face. Tillie, seeing the stranger is in distress, drags him to her home. Here the stranger discovers that Tillie's father has a bankroll. With threats and promises, he induces her to get the money and go to the city with him. Their first stop is at a cabaret, where Ti i lie takea the first drink of her young life. Things go along smoothly until they are disturbed by a pretty damsel, named Mabel, who has followed them since their airival in the big city. She turns out to be Charlie's city girl, and he, on getting hold of the money that Tillie kept on her person, leaves with her. Tillie imbibed to freely and was put out into the street. She was arrested and thrown into jail. Her gaolers, dis covering her name to be Tillie Banks, telephone to the big millionaire of the city, Douglas, Banks, and find that she is his niece whom he has never seen. She is escorted to her uncle's beautiful mansion and here creates such a scene that her uhcle disowns her and orders her from the house. No place to go, she looks for a job, and secures one as a waitress. Her uncle being much distressed by the incident, goes away to do some mountain climbing to forget it. Here he takes a terrible fall and his guide, thinking he is dead telephones to Mr. Bank's secretary, who immediately goes looking for Tillie, who is the only known living relative. j In the meantime, Charlie has made use of the bank roll by dolling up Ma bel and himself and they are taking life easy. He and Mabel one day wan der into the reatuarant where Tillie is working and Tilile, meeting the one who is the cause of her downfall, faints. Charlie and Mabel make their escape, and sitting down in the park to rest Charile buys a newspaper, which tells him of the hunt that is on for the missing heiress, Tillie Banks. He im mediately sneaks away from Mabel and goes back to the reatuarant and ex plains matter! to Tillie'a satisfaction and drags her off to a minister where they are married. On going back to the restaurant they are met'by the late millionaire's secre tary, who makes known to Tiilie that she is an heiress. The heiress and tier newly acquired husband proceed to their new home, the Banks mansion. Here they entertain laviahly and a few days later give a grand ball. This ended in a frightful fracas, through the machinations of Mabel, who has managed to secure a position as maid in the household. In the midst of the melee the uncle, who was found to be only slightly injured, returns and has the whole party thrown out into the street. Charlie, discovering that Tillie has nothing in the way of worldly goods, renounces her and grabbing Ma bel's band off they go, pursued by the now vengeful Tillie. In the excitement that ensues the police of th city are called out as well as the river police, as Tillie has pur sued the recreants to the water front and here in the midst of all the excite ment Tillie is struck by an automobile loaded with policemen and she, automo bile and load take an awful drop into the liver below. Here Tillie is finally rescued and Mabel seeing the destruc tion that the conscienceless Charlie has wrought.falla into Tillie's arms, implor ing her forgiveness and they both re nounce Charlie, as he is dragged away by the police.
