LITTLE PESTS THAT DESTROY SEED Chipmunks and Mice Eat From 30 to 70 Per Cent of Seed Unexpected tliiliculties have been encountered in reforestation, accord ing to facts 11 ported by the Hiological survey. Cases have appeared in which mice and other seed-eating animate fol low tho plantings mid eat the seeds as fust as deposited in tho ground,. "In an attempt to rested a section in the Muck Hill forent." it is reported, "the small animals eat from 30 to 70 per cent of the seeds as soon as they are planted. " The forest service called on tho Hiological survey for help. They tried coating seed with red lead, sul phate of copper or coal tar. Hut the animals, it was found, first husked the seeds and then went on eating them. Then they tried trapping and poi soning the thieves. One experiment was made on half an acre, where 2000 Becd spots were planted. Within 88 days the little animals had got 70 per cent of the seed. Results of trapping were 3 chipmunks and 11 white footed mice. Ono of the chipmunks vistiod 33 seed spots In four minutes, l'oisoned wheat and rolled oats were more eftec- live. But tho olllcers of the hurvey have decided that the only means of safety is in killing these little pests over quite large areas surrounding the reforested ground. Expense will be involved, they say to amounts exceeding tho originul cost of replantation. A Farewell Dinner A farewell dinner waa given at the home of Mr. andMrs. H.W.

However, by Monday noon a . well defined case of erysipelas had developed and a few hours later Mr. Croncmiller hud a fuce on him that would put an ordinal y lob ster to shame, which somo people no doubt wilt consider direct evidence of a kinship they always thought existed. The following day Dr. Daly considered he had the second complication also under control, but as the disease runs In cycles of four days, the result will not be postively determined until to morrow.

Monday had an accident which came near re sulting serioiiply. He wns turning his team of horses on Water street in front of the John Clark residence when ! A. W. Orton approached in his Ford 1 auto. In some way or other the horses I became frightened and started to run up the street until they reached the Thornton house, when they swerved and plunged to one side, running the iole of the wagon into a large locust tree and breaking it. Mr. Card was thrown from his scat and somewhat injured about the legs. He is now confined to his home under the care of lr. Smith, but will perhaps be up and around again in a few days time. A Small Blaze Sunday morning aliout 9 o'clock the local populace was aroused from un usually dense Sabbath day slumber by the loud and continuous ringing of fire bells. The excitement was all caused by n slight fire in Ia-o Hazel's shoe s miring shop, caused by a short rcuit in the gasolene motor. It was extinguished in a few moments witn out the aid of the local volunteers, and resulted in very little damage. Leo state that hereufter he will endeavor to have his fires occur on week days so as to allow us our full allotment of sleep. SHEEPHERDER WAS FOUND DEAD IN CAMP John Sagarday Was Thought to Have Been Murdered But Autopsy Shows He Died a Natural Death Quie e a little excitement reigned here Sunday morning when Manuel Sunders, the stockman, received a tele phone message from Paisley stating that one of his sheep herders had been found dead. Rumors immediately be came rife to the effect that the herder. John Sagarday, hud been murdered and that the sheep had become scattered and were wandering about the Wagon tire country, east of Abert Luke. Oi receipt of the message here Coro ner Wulluce. accompanied by Manuel Sanders and Willard Duncan, imme diately left by auto and proceeded as far as the E. D. Smith residence. It was impossible to go farther with the machine and in company with Mr. Smith they started in a tig for the scene of the affair, which is Bomewhat over one hundred miles from Lakeview. Arriving at the camp late Sunday j afternoon they lound bagarday lying on his bed in the tent, with his shoes, watch, purse and suspenders laid to one side. It was his usual custom to remove these before retiring. The body was first discovered early Friday morning by Bill Thorn, the camp tender. Thorn had just return ed after an absence of seven days, and he i of the opinion that Sagarday Ely to Fly Over Reno Eugene Ely will fly over Reno dur ing the Foutrh of July celebration, dthcrviie he will not receive $2.7)0 that is to be deposited In a local hank and paid to him upon completion of suc cessful flight. Mr. Ely is one of the greatest avia tor of the age. His wonderful feat of lifting his machine far inland, out of sight of wstcr and racing through ' the fog to a United States battleship, whc.e he alight on the deck and a few minutes later leaped again into the nir and returned to his starting place, wan adjuged one of the most successful flight on record. It was positively determined at meeting of the executive committee of the Fourth of July celebration, held l"t evening in the rooms of the Reno .7 ... Commercial lui. that this would be a feature of the big program. Chairman Sadlier of the aviation committee is in correspondence with now the bird man and the details are practically all arranged. illUGH PDTHAN IS SERIOUSLYJNJURED Stumbling; Horse Throws Rider Who Is Now Under the Doctor's Care Every person was startled last Satur day to hear of the dangerous accident which liefell Hugh Putman, brother of Mrs. Coppedge. While coming into town from a sheep camp of Mr. Walter Sherlock he was riding quietly, when his horse suddenly stumbled and fell. Mr. Putman was made unconscious by this fall. His friends riding in a, wagon in front stopped and brought him to the home cf Mr. Johnson. After an auto took Doctor Stiles hastily out to the scene of the accident, Mr. J. A. Yatos started toward Canby for Dr. "r,i"K bo is Mr. Putman's brother-in-law. Mr. Putman was then brought to the doctors home in Altur-as.- Alturas Republican. Senator Weed Here Senator Abner Weed, with his large new Franklin auto, arrived here Sun- j duy from Klamath Falls, having made the trip of 110 miles in six hours. The j car attracted quite a little attention j here and is probably one of the largest j ever seen in these parts. It is this auto that the Senator was speeding when he was arrested in San Francisco several weeks ago, an' account of which was given in the Examiner. The car has 48 H. P., and is an air cooler, costing about $5000. probably came to his death on the night of tho l'.'th. as it was hia usual cus tom to salt the theep punctually on the twentieth of each month and on investigation it was found that this. had not been done. The sacks of salt hud not been opened. Thorn, ufier finding Sagarday, im .mediately proceeded to look for the sheep, expecting to find them scatter ed all over the surrounding country. When he did finally locute them it was found thut a shepherd dog hud faithfully watched and kept them bunched during the entire time with a loss of bui a very smalt number. Another surprising feature of the affair is thut the dog had a litter of small pups, which Ehe had entirely neglected in order to watch the sheep, and which were found in a starving condition when I Coroner Wallace Hiid his men arrived on the scene. An autopsy made over the body of the dead man resluted in the decision ' thut he had come to his death through ! natural causes, probably on or about the nineteenth day of May. The body was cluimed by Pete Sa garday, a brother, who is thought to be the only relative he has In this country. It was taken to Paisey, inter ment being made on Tuesday afternoon.
