Chambers has broken out among the
horses at Centerville and Niles, and the
local and State authorities have a diff
ficult problem before them. State

many others that are showing the same
symptoms District Attorney Allen
sent Veterinary Surgeon G.. J. Donnelly
TO make a special examination. Don
nelly has reported that the disease is
undoubtedly the glanders.
II is not known just what steps
should be taken, and dispatches are
being sent all over the State for the
purpose of locating the State veterin-
airy. He is at present absent from
Sacramento and cannot be found.
Veterinary Donneily says he has no au-
thOrity in the matter and refuses TO do
anything further than give his opinion.
one Lewis, as soon as it was pointed
out 10 him that his horse had the
glanders, killed the animal for fear
that his family might become infected.
Other horse owners refuse to destroy
their animals. Seven of the worst cases,
however, have been held for inspection
for the State veterinary when he ar
rives. Both Niles and Centerville have
cases and il is not known how far the
malady has spread. Owners named
flliERfra and Tl1ZZa11 have horcac nh oh,

Oliveira by White Hat" Mccarthy
That animal is now in an advanced
stage of the disease and two horses
with which it has been working have
both become infected. AS soon as
Blemmer arrives the infected district

BERKELEY, July ia fire that
houses on Ashby avenue at an early
hour this morning developed three
heroines, all equally brave and self
sacrificing To the Misses Louise and
Minnie Chambers and Miss Mary
Judge, the trio that played the role of
fearless young women, do the families
residing in the burned homes owe their
lives Just al the critical moment they
arrived on the scene and with a cour-
age born of desperation saved the in
mates from awful death
The fire was discovered in the resi-
dence of Mrs. Katherine Gilligan at
1926 Ashby avenue at O'Clock this
morning by the Misses Chambers. who
live in the neighborhood. They rushed
to the scene and warned Mrs. Gilligan
and Miss Judge, her sister, and then
hurried next door tC the home of Mr..
and Mrs. William L. Mason, which was
in danger of destruction on account of
its proximity to the burning house
By the time all this was performed
the Gilligan house was a mass of
flames, with absolutely no chance of
saving any of the furnishings 1t was
all that Mrs. Gilligan and Miss Judge
could do to save the five Gilligan chill
dren, in the rescue of wnom Miss Judge
exhibited so much herosm. The three
eldest children were taken to safety
easily enough but in the hurry the two
babes We're almost forgotten. When

ried back into the burning building
and grabbing the children from their
cribs. rushed into the street, Just in
time to escape a crash of falling tim
| bers.
In the meantime. the Masons. who
had responded to the warning of the
! Chambers sisters, had hurriedly
dressed and prepared to remove some
of their things from the house. With
the assistance Of the Misses Chambers
and their neighbors the Masons saved
most of their furniture, but in so doing
Mrs. Mason nearly lost her life, for in
some unaccountable way she got
caught in closet from which she could
not escape without assistance. 1t seems
that catch on the outside was sprung
so that the door was locked, thus defy
ing the frantic efforts OF the imprison-
ed woman to open it.
1t was while Mrs. Mason was in this
dilemma that Miss Louise Chambers
again proved herself a heroine. Above
the roar Of the flames that were fast
devcuring the house Miss Chambers
heard the despairing screams of Mrs.
Mason, and without a thought of the
| danger to herself hurried to the rescue.
She leaped fearlessly through a bank
! Of flames toward the closet and a mo-
ment later sprung the latch back and
freed Mrs. Mason, who was now so
! weak that she had to be half dragged
| and half carried to the street. where
she was revived. Mrs. Mason said aft
erward that it was only Miss Cham
bers' heroism that saved her life.
! The fire left both families homeless
and 1T was necessary for neighbors to
supply them with food and clothing.
The loss is about $4,000, with little in
surance. The Mascns had only occu-
pied their house three weeks.

wants S113,6S4 and fifteen additional
patrolmen. The increase asked is S30,-
553. The rapid strides taken in the
growth of the city and the necessity for
more protection to life and property is

Delta Lahorer wants TO know
what its citizens are doing toward
getting the Western Slope normal
located there That is queer
question. Does its editor not know
that the Western slope normal is
coated at Gunnison and that the
state owns $500 worth Of property
here, large part of it donated by
the enterprisIng citizens OF Gunni-
son. However the misunderstood
ing is probably due TO the fact of
our delightful governor having We
toed bill appropriating money to
start the school. The state uni
versity was located at Boulder
many years, we believe ten years,
before the school was started.
When our Legislators get ready to
start a western slope school, and we
agree with the Laborer that it should
be started Immediately, it will com

One great advantage of bright
descriptive advertisement lies in the
fact that it goes into the home where
1t can be studied and discussed at
leisure with other members of the
family. Many people are timid
about going into a strange store and
deciding off hand on goods with
which they are not familiar. Therein
lies the value of quoting prices, a
thing which local merchants are
often loath about doing in print. The
mail order houses are not slow
about quoting prices, however, and

OF every 100000 persons who die
in this country, over 1000 are
claimed by pneumonia. Consump-
ton has been called "the great
white plague, and is dreaded above
all other diseases, but the close
race made by its sister scourge is
startling.
The latest reliable statistics for
the country a. whole are those of
the census of 1900, and in the year
closing with the beginning Of the
census count, there had been l05,-
97l deaths from pneumonia, while
consumption had scored only 5000
more, or ll,O53
Is it strange, then, or in the least
surprising, that physicians and
sanitarians are sounding a note of
alarm and ceasing to regard tuber-
culosis as the one great enemy to be
met and battled with?
The disease is such an insidious
foe to the race and does its work so
quickly that it has not been as sue
cessfully studied as some others
that are less deadly The medical
profession is fully aroused. however
