too, that the state commission tends
to this belief, as they have requested

Another matter which should be
given attention is that of pasturage.
In an effort TO get from one range

government apportioned the feeding

confusion and each could use al

Mr.. Griswold stated that practical
ly all of the wool in his district has
been shipped. 1t is low this year
and in his opinion will remain SO
until after presidential election. The
price of mutton is high at present
and will continue so until the first
of August in his belief. BY that
time he thinks sheepmen will flood
the market with mutton and prices
will be accordingly lowered.
Mr.. Griswold, who served during
the greater part of the court term
as juror, left yesterday for his
home, having been excused from fur
ther service by the court.

ceptibIe TO plague: in fact, plague may
be regarded as essentially a disease of
rats as much so as fowl cholera is of
poultry or hog cholera is of swine
Unfortunately, plague differs from
these latter in being able to success
fully invade mans tissues. while we
possess a natural immunity to fowl and
hog cholera.
THAT rat flea under ordinary cir-
cumstances does not leave the body of
it's natural host, but after a rat has
died they can. no longer obtain their
food, which is fluid. blood, therefore
they hop off the rats body and go 10

met with they attack it; if man is met
with they sample his blood. but in this
case probably do not remain long upon
him. preferring the rat. Often, how
ever, their short sojourn on mans skin
suffices to infect him with plague.
The details of how this infection
takes place is as follows: The flea
fills himself with the blood of his host;
if that host has plague bacilli in it's
blood at the time, the flea naturally
ingests them as well. Leaving this
host for another, it bites the second
one, and as it does so often soils the
skin with it's excretions which are now
full of plague bacilli. The host,
whether man or another rat, scratches,
and in doing this unconsciously rubs
into the hair follicles a number of
plague bacilli. If the first rat that
died of plague had no f1eas, there is
little proba bility that the disease would
spread to a second victim, and plague
would long since have become extinct,
if indeed it would have ever existed.
Unfortunately, many rats do have
feas upon their bodies. 1t is this COM
bination of circumstances that makes
the rat such a factor in the disease
it is very susceptible to plague, and
it is usually infested; man also is very
susceptible to plague. but, in compar-
ison, is rarely flea-infested, hence sell
dom is the disease transmitted from
man to man. Cats and dogs are also
fea-infested. but neither is susceptible
to plague, or, at leastAto very slitht
extent, hence play No role in its
spread.
1.-The disease is due to a low form of
vegetable life and is oftenest carried
from rat to rat or from rat to man by
means of the flea. While we know its
cause. and by this knowledge can
diagnose it with certainty, yet this
knowledge has not furnished us with
a good method of defense, nor a cura-
tive agent. Our only way of prevent
ing it's spread is by the destruction of

What people come here to see are three

by the public generally to have been erect

This, however. is questionable One of
them bears the name inscription, "A

may be learned that two men by this
name have lived in this neighborhood,
both Of wealth and distinction. and they
died one in the year S44 and the other in

them may have erected these splendid
monolths. The largest is twenty-seven
