DMH Sept. 16, 1935— 6 mi. W Lakeview, Lake Co., Ore (2) Set 50 mouse traps and 10 gopher traps 6 mi. W Lakeview; in alkali flat amid sagebrush and a salt grass. Many Microtus runs noted, especially at the edge of the flat, which joined an alfalfa field. Sept. 17, 1935— Caught in traps—6 Microtus, 1 Lagurus, 2 Perithodoutomys. It may be that the nights are too cool for maximum activity of the mice. From the sign, I would have assumed that there were more mice present than is indicated by the trapping record. $704 Lagurus: 105-19-17-9 $705 Microtus 170-37-18-14 $706 " 170-46-20-14
