Mr. Llvors dlod In San Joaquin county, Cal. May 13. 1910. His widow was Immediate lv annotated administratrix of the California property but the Oregon estate has never been probatod. Scatter tho grain with your hands or Angers, much as you would scat tor food for tho chickens, taking pulns hot to put too much In a place so as to oltminate the danger of pot sonlng farm animals. Do not place any of the poison in tho holes, as the squirrels do not take It readily it so placed. Squirrels cover considerable terri tory In feeding, so that It the poison Is scattered, as above Indicated, near their burrows and about the ground where they are accustomed to feed they will readily find it and eat enough to do the work. Drlght, warm days are the best times to scatter poison, avoiding cloudy, cold days and threatening weather, as the squirrels do not feed much at these times and rain or snow may destroy tho poison value ot tho grain.

Marples has 'been putting over a series ot consistent victories and has the reputation of being a hard nut 'to crack. Ritchie realizes that his re-entry into the pugilistic limelight Is going to be strenuous and Is doing some hard, training for the bout. In fac( he has been undergoing a systematic course, ot training for several weeks and is' confident that his condition shows to as good advantage as at any time of his ring career. ' Vm The bout between Billy Huff, local middleweight, and Bob Wagner of Portland, whtle limited to six rounds, promises to share interest with the main bout, and on past performences. If Huff is due to score victory by the knockout route, six rounds will be long enough tor him to do so. Knight is skirmishing about for some good curtain raisers. His ban-' tams in past preliminaries have al ways shown careful selection,- and he promises the fans an equally good choice for the four round bout this time. If he is overwhelmed with mat erial he may put on two preliminaries and give the fans an added run tor their money. WEATHER REPORT. OREGON Tonight and day fair; gentle, mostly winds.
