PEODLERS ARE
DRIVEN OUT

Walla Walla. May 23-The buggy
peddlers are no more in Walla Walla
and Columbia counties. The last bunch
OF them gave up in despair and crossed
the Columbia river into Benton County
at Wallula several days ago.
The organization of local vehicle
dealers gave them such a hard run for
their business that they were only too
glad to sue for peace on any kind of
terms.
The terms were to the effect that the
peddlers should leave Walla Walla and
Columbia counties, never to return
while engaged in such business. in re-
turn for which the local dealers were
to follow them no further than the
Columbia river. The terms were
eagerly accepted and agreeable to both
sides. While it cost the local dealers
a considerable sum of money they had
the satisfaction of seeing two gangs of
persistent and practical peddlers sneak
out of their territory and promise never
to return.

horses infected with the CHAMBERS are
being slaughtered under the direction
of the state veterinary surgeon. Sew
eral animals have been killed in the
vicinity of Sweetwater and a number
have been killed on Lapwai creek be-
tween Sweetwater and Culdesac. It is
stated that careful inspection Of all
stock will be made and all found in
fected with CHAMBERS will be killed,
while those suffering from mango will
be ordered treated according to the
prescription supplied by the state vet
erinarian.
Until recently all horses infected
with mango have been taken to the
mountains and killed and the bodies
cremated. The state veterinary depart
ment has made numerous tests and has
discovered that the mango can be cured
by several different solutions among
which Is sheepdip and kerosene. The
war against. mango has been prosecuted
with diligence during the past few
years and very few infected horses are
now found on the reservation range.
