SHEEP ARE DYING
STRANGE DISEASE AP-
PEARS IN WYOMING
Many Herds Are Suffering Heavy Loss
from What Appears to be "Grub
in the Hcad"-AnOther Disease
characterized by Ulcers on Lips
and Legs, Also Causes Heavy Losses
in Many Herds.

The Cheyenne Tribune says of a
strange and fatal disease which has
appeared among the sheep Of Wyo-
ming and is now killing them in
large numbers:
Word has been received in the city
that the epidemic of disease which
appeared in a number of the bands
of sheep in central Wyoming year
ago and was at that time thought to
be due to the presence of grubs in
the heads of the affected animals, has
again made its appearance in that
country.
Post mortem examinations of the
sheep which died last year showed
that in the heads of the dead sheep
were large grubs, which had hatched
from the egg of a small fly which en-
tered the nostril of the sheep months
before.
The cause of death at that time was
popularly known as grub in the
head" and the government experts
unged to make an investigation to dis
cover, II possible, cure
Tribune readers from all parts of
the state, upon reading of the epi-
demic wrote many letters TO this pa
per and to the state veterinarian re-
lating similar experiences and suggest
ing cures that had proven efficacious.
The government experts, however,
were inclined to regard the presence
of grubs as merely coincidence and
believed that the deaths among the
sheep which in some bands reached
alarming proportions, were due to
some other cause
The temperance of the disease
this spring in the same locality in
which the greatest losses occurred a
year ago has again alarmed the
sheepmen of that part of the state
and has attracted the attention of
the state veterinarian and his depu-
ties of whom there are large number
in various parts of the state cooper
ating with the government inspectors
and veterinarians in the eradication
of scab, the inspection of dipping
pens and the prevention Of the i'm,
portation of diseased livestock.
The attention of the bureau of ami
NAL industry will again be called to
the conditions now existing and a
further and more thorough study and
urged.
Another disease showing itself in
Of the lips and legs Of

so been reported and DR.. Spiker, a
deputy state veterinarian, has gone
to that place to investigate the dis

TRAINS WILL SOON RUN
ON THE MOSCOW BRANCH
Spokane & Inland Is Rapidly Com
pletlng Track Laying and Grading

Train service on the Spokane & In
land division of the Inland Empire
system will be extended to Moscow,
Idaho, by July /, according to pre-
dictions made by officials Of the com
pany.
Tracklaying has been completed to
a mile south OF Viola. which point is
10 miles south of Palouse, and the
work OF the overhead electric install
latlon is but a day or so behind the
laying Of the rails.
The delay in putting through the
line is that occasioned by the big
cut which begins mile and a half
south Of Viola. This cut, involving
the removal Of $4,000 cubic yards Of
earth, is nearly completed.
The progress of the cut, 1t is ex-
plained. has been slow on account Of
the fact that the dirt excavated has
had to be moved In one direction to
make a long fill to the south, which
required all of IT, With the cut and
fill finished, there will be six miles
of track to be laid into Moscow,
The grading is all done from the
cut south of Viola to Moscow and
with the rails down the company will
inaugurate the initial train service
between Palouse and the terminus
with steam locomotives as the mo-
tive power.
1t is said by Inland Empire Off
cials that the plans contemplate op-
Grating trains by steam during the
next 80 days following the completion
of the tracklayng The electrical in
stallation will then be finished and
the trolley trains will be run through
from Spokane to Moscow.
Between 900 and 400 men are now
at work on the big cut. The Inland
Empire system is sending an average
of 20 men a day from Spokane to
the scene of the heavy work, but the
contractors are experiencing diff

Ruskln, It Is Said has written more
sentences of ihordinate length than
any other classic writer of modern
English prose. Frederic Harrison some
years ago counted the words In a num-
Der of typical sentences, finding that In
the earlier books 1t was no uncommon
thing for Ruskin to run beyond the
page before permitting himself and his
readers the relief of full stop. But In
every case the sense Is clear as day.
Wordsworth's poem on the "Charac-
ter of the Happy Warrior" is a notable
example Of sustained connections.
Apart from the opening and closing
couplets the poem consists Of two very
long compound sentences almost en-
tirely comprised Of adJectival clauses.
The longer Of the two sentences con-
tains fifty-seven decasyllablc lines.
This is probably a record In English
verse.-Argonaut.

years. The boarding school will un-
doubtedly be closed soon. The In
dian department will close almost a
dozen similar schools next month and
the ax will reach Lapwai in another
year. AS soon as the school is closed
the agency work will be lessened and
in a short time the Indians will need

government will have no further use
for the farm. That the Indians have

A recent report sent out from Lew
iston says:
Few citizens of Lewiston and even
fewer in other parts of the state know
Of the gift that Uncle Sam will some
day make to the state, but those whq
do feel proud that Idaho will possess
13OO-acre farm with plenty of
buildings to make it available as an
experiment station, for the Lapwal
Indian agency would be an. ideal ag-
ricultural experiment station and It
will be in reality in a shorter time
than many believe.
Tn a rather narrow valley on lap
wal creek the government maintains
an agency boarding school, where the
youthful Nez Perces receive their ed,
ucatio. Agent 0. H. Lipps, the per-
sonal representative of the "White
Father" has his official family here
also. The first use made of the 1900
acre tract was the establishment Of
an army post. The buildings were
constructed for the accommodation
of an Armp corps. A row of small
cottages used for officers families Is
now used by school employees, while
the great army hospital, with its wide
veranda on both floors, is the home
OF the brown skinned Indian maidens
whose ancestors made 1t necessary for
the existence Of the post.
Other buildings have been built
from time to time until the groups
now contain more than dozen
structures, some of them being mod
ern and suitable for other uses Barns
and outbuildings are already here, for
the government teaches the Indian the
art of husbandry AS an experiment
station the agency school is peculiar
ly fitted for Idaho. In the valley hor-
ticulture can be demonstrated as a
portion of the land is now under irri-

tage is apparent. The 1900 acres rise
gradually until, at the far side, grain
growing can be shown under condi-
tions similar to those found on the
higher grain attitudes.

falling, but by noon the rain had
ceased and tn sky cleared, giving the
visitors a taste of real Idaho wealth

Great excitement prevailed as

that all was ready to proceed with

drawn from the box were as follows;

tinue from day to day until all of the
land is disposed of.
The opening is the most successful
ever held under the Carey act, the
demand for land being much greater
than the supply. When the registra-
tion closed at midnight last night
certified checks to the amount OF

which would represent, II all secured
land, a total investment of 100000

Most of the visitors are from the
irrigated sections of the country. but
many are here from Iowa, Nebraska
and other Mississippi valley states.
Many who did not secure land here
will look elsewhere in the state for
farms.
