VALUABLE EXPERIMENTS.
Dipping Is Now Said to Prevent
sprcad Of TexRa Fever.

Elaborate experiments on Texas fever
have been conducted during the past
year by the Missouri state authorities,
cooperating with the Texas Experiment
station. 1t is clearly demonstrated that
the Texas tick is the natural means of
communicating the disease from one
animal to another. Ticks Matched in
the laboratory when put on Missouri
short-horn cows in lots free from any
possible infection, produced fatal cases
of Texas fever in every instance within
from 10 to 1s days after the young ticks
were placed on the animal
The Texas station dipped a carload
of Texan cattle, all of which were Gov
cred with the Texas fever tick, and
shipped the dipped cattle to the Mis-
souri, Experiment station. These cattle
were dipped in West Virginia mineral
oil at cost of less than Ave cents per
head. The Missouri station confined
these dipped Texan cattle in a small lot
with number of short-horn COWS from
the 18th of August until the 1st of No
yember, and made careful daily obser-
,ations and temperature records. with
the result that no Texas fever was COM
muncated. If subsequent experiments
confirm these results. the dipping proc
ess will be regarded MS entirely practi-
cable and feasible. 1t can he easily and
cheaply done on a commercial scale,
and would enable the farmers of the
Mississippi valley to purchase and bring
to their farms with perfect. safety at
any season of the year cheap range
cattle to eat their surplus corn and
grass.
An attempt was made to inoculate
,attle so that they would be proof
against this disease, with very promis-
ing results. These results are in meas
ure confirmed by experiments that DR..
Connaway has just concluded in Mis-
sissippi, on a carload of dairy cattle
shipped there from Kansas. Twelve of
these cattle had died of Texas fever
before the animals We're in iected; none
died afterward. The method is neither
expensive nor difficult. and if il proves
to be successful the entire Texas fever
district comprising dozen states) will
be opened as market for the thorough
bred stock of the north and west, in
asmuch as these animals may then be
shipped to these states with safety

DEATH OF JOSEPH MOORE.
Another Pioneer Crosses the
Great Divide.

Joseph Moore, one OF the pioneers of
White Pine, miner by occupation
and n native of ireland, aged 81 years,
died here Sunday morning, after lin
gering illness OF two months duration.
The deceased came to St. Louis, Mo-,
from Belfast, ireland, when but years
OF age; crossed the plains during the
Fraser river excitement at the age OF
II. came to Nevada In 1864, aud after
a prospecting tour of two years in Ari-
zona, returned again to Nevada, COM
ing to Cherry Creek, this county, in
1868, where he was given the title OF
"Llttie Joe Moore" 10 distinguished
him from another man OF the same
name, and by that name he has ever
since been known. After residence
of i've years in Cherry, during which
time he worked in tho mines OF that
camp, be- removed to Taylor, and in
1888 came to Ely, following through
out his life and up to the time OF his
sick ness, lis chosen occupation-min-
ing. He leaves some valuable mining
interest, in this district.
Joseph Moore was a quiet, unassum.
ing man, possessed of all the sterling
qualities which go to make up good
citizen. Honesty, integrity and fair
dealing with his fellowmen we're the
most ennobling qualities OF his char
acter. Like too many OF the sturdy
pioneers, he was bis own worse enemy,
and soon acquired. an unquenchable
appetite for drink, which brought
bout the cause OF his death; but above
and beyond this fault the character OF
the man won for him many everlast-
lug friends.
The deceased, three days before the
end, foresaw the inevitable, and. cal
ling in witnesses, had will drawn up,
arranged for the settlement OF bis busi-
ness. and htqucathed his property to
residents Of Ely, known only by those
present. No known relatives survive
him.
| The remains were buried in the Ely
Cemetery Monday afternoon, and a
large number OF friends and acqnain'
tances attended the funeral.

WASHINGTON, March Goth.
SIR:
I have the honor to acknowledge re-
csipt OF your letter OF the 18th inst. to-
gether with communication and clip
ping from the WHITE PINE NEWS, re-
lative to stage drivers carrying letters
and other mali, in connection with
which your request to be informed If
the printed article Is in error, accord
ing to the postal laws.
In reply, you are advised that the
quotation given is, with the exception
of reference omitted, Section ll4l, Pos
tai Laws and Regulations of 1902. The
Interpretation placed upon that Soc
tion, however, Is measure erroneous,
it being alleged that the only cases in
which letters may be carried outside
the mail by stage drivers are those in
which mail sacks being closed, let
terri, il properly stamped, sealed and
directed, bearing the date OF transmits
sion stamped upon the envelope, may
be taken by the driver for delivery or
enclosure in the mail sack at the next
nearest post Office
And the further explanation that:
''This, OF course, applies only to STA
tions or towns that have within their
limits 4 post-offlce, and any driver who
accepts a letter for delivery and car
ries il out OF the regular locked mail
sack, except letters addressed to inter-
med late points for which local sacks
are provided, is laying himself and en-
ployer liable to the above penalty"
It being further suggested that
THE only safe and sure way for the
stage driver is not to accept any letter
at a place VI here there Is post-office
which does not show the proper can
collation. and date Of despatch of that
Office
The contracts in effect 90 most OF the
route In Nevada require box delivery.
Therefore patrons Of an Office living
along the line OF altar route are en-
titled to have their mail deposited in
boxes erected by them along the side
of the road over which mail is carried, i,
by filing written request with The
post master at the Office to which the
mial is addressed and complying with
certain other requirements OF the De-
partrnent.
Furthermore, Section 1885, Postal
Laws and Regulations of 1902 provides
that ..All letters inclosed 10 stamped

stamp is OF denomina tion sufficient to
cover the postage that would be charge

THE LUMBER TRADE,
Secretary,

The Pacific Lumber Trade Jour-
nal offers this retrospect on the bust
ness of the past year:
"At no time during the past year
has there been any cause to suspect
retrenchment in the demand from
the East, California or foreign ports.
As matter of fact, when the sta
tisuics for this year are published it
will be seen that the demand for
our lumber products this year has
shown greater increase than during
the year 1902. The total Eastern
shipments will show that there will
be an increase of propably not less
than 10000 car loads over 1902, of
which the proportions will be about
6,OOO car loads for lumber and about
1900 car loads for shingles. This in
spite OF the greatest car shortage in
the history OF the trade The Cali
fornia demand will show up fully as
good as the year before, while the
foreign cargo shipments will exceed
those of 1902 by at least rs per cent"

lowing is list of questions and an
swers about the initiative and refer
endum that the Helena Direct Leyis-
latlon League sent out this week.
Voters who have questions that they
can't answer should send them to the
Direct Legislation League, Box 1866,
Helena, Montana.
What i. the initiative and referen-
dun?
1t is the system by which laws or
questions are proposed by the people
and referred to the voters for their
approval or rejection at the ballot
box
What is the initiative?
1t is the proposal of question or
law to all the voters by percentage
OF the voters. It gives small mum
Der of voters the right to have pub
tic question submitted to all the vot-
ers and decided by them.
What is the referendum?
1t ls the submission of question
or law to the voters. 1t enables the
voters to decide public questions at
the ballot box.
Is that an improvement on the
present system Of making laws?
Yes; because it prevents the legis-
lature from killing measures that the
people want and from passing laws
that the people don't want; and it
prevents a member of the legislature
from selling his vote.
Why cant a member of the legis-
lature sell his vote with the initiative
and referendum in use?
Because when the people have the
power to make laws for themselves,
and to veto laws that the legislature
passes, it won't be profitable for any
one to buy votes of Legislators; and
the men who bribe members of the
Legislature won't spend their money
for nothing.
How would we use the initiative
and referendum?
The best way to explain that is to
use as an example the bill advocat ed
by the Direct Legislation League of
Helena. 1t is like the direct legisla-
ton amendment adopted by the vot-
ers of Oregon in 1902.
Suppose the Montana legislature
passes that amendment bill next win
ter, refers it to the voters at tho gen
eral election IN 1906, and it is adopted
by the majority of the voters. Then
II will be part of the Montana con-
stitution.
1t has an initiative clause and a
referendum clause. If few voters
want certain law passed, the bill
for the law is drawn up, and the vot-
ers are asked to sign an initiative Pc
tition to the secretary of state for the
submission Of the law to the voters
ut the next general election. If 5
per cent of the voters sign that in
itlative petition four months before
the next election day, it is filed with
the secretary Of state.
Suppose it is an initiative petition
for law creating a railroad commits
sion. Then when the voter goes to
the voting place he will get a ballot
with this printed on it:
''For the law creating railroad
commission"
against the law creating rail
road commission"
If the majority of those voting on
this proposed law vote for it, the law
creating railroad commission is
passed. The Legislature can't repeal
it and the governor can't veto it.
Does that take the law-making
