1t is with much regret we learn
of the death of Grover Walker of
Hoxie, in an auto accident last
Sunday. Mr.. Walker was pres
ident of the Hoxie National Bank
and d man who had a host of
friends because of his open
hearted, genial manner. The
machine was a $4,000 one, and
we understand they were run
ming at a rather high rate of
speed when they struck a mud
hole and the machine went turtle
back. Mr.. Walker was so terri
bly, injured that he lived only a
short time. The other three
men escaped without serious in
jury.

Crosby in his Smith County
Smatterings, gives the following
interesting account of how one
of the largest fortunes in Smith
county was accumulated by Al
bert Jordan who died recently
near Ports: Mr.. Jordan was
one of the very wealthy men of
Smith county. He came here a
poor man and by the most un
natural use of economy, frugal
ity and parsimony, together
with industry, and far beyond
his strength, so we are told, he
amassed large fortune. He Of
ten did the work of two men,
changing teams and working
sometimes all night. This we
have from his own mouth. In
times of rush work as for in
stance, such as blowing corn, he
would work one team until it was
all in, then his wife would take
him lunch and another team and
he would pillow or run machinery
all night. day in and day out,
week in and week out. This was
when the country was new, and
work and frugality and the help
of a frugal, careful, saving, in
duStriOuS wife meant so much.
With only these traits, and being
located in the best county in the
state, Smith county, he made an
immense fortune. We cannot
say as to the amount, but we
have it that Albert Jordan was
one of the three heaviest tax-pay
ers in the great rich county of
Smith, owning as he did not only
quarters but section after Sec
ton of Smith county's richest
land, together with property of
all kinds in Smith Center, Por-
tbs, Lebanon and Bellaire En-
tirely without education, both
| himself and his wife, entirely
without any help from rich rela-
ton or his parents, with only his
brawny hands and the constitu-
ton of mule las we will say in
the way of an illustration) he
gathered a vast amount of the
worlds goods. He had no use
for books, papers, automobiles,
yachts, private cars, flowers,
telephones, talking machines;
nor beautiful walks with beauti-
full fountains, nor brown stone
fronts with mansard roofs. None
of these were of any use to him.
In the stead of these he only
longed for longer days ane more
strength, that he could get more
land, hogs, mules, steers, corn
interest and money. Albert Jor-
| dan is dead without issue. /"

Dr Knowles, the state veterinar-
Ian has returned from Florida where
he was recovering from illness for the
mast two or three months, and i'm
mediately on arrival began investi
eating the outbreak of lip and leg
liberation which in two forms is ram
pant among sheep in parts of the
state.
DIR. Knowles accorded the Journal
an interview on the subject Of the
disease now affecting the sheep in
parts Of this state, Wyoming and
South Dakota and desired that from
the start the fact be impressed emphat-
jcallv on the public that the disease is
what is known as the lip and leg
uIceration'' and should not be in any
wav confounded with the 'foot and
mouth disease, the extinction of
which in the east has recently cost
the state of Pennsylvania alone $500,
600 besides the cost of disinfecting
2,5OO cars and the slaughtering of
many cattle.
The lip and leg liberation made its
first serious appearance in Montana
during the severe winter Of 1906-07
and was thoroughly discussed and ex-
planned at the meeting of the Montana
Stockgrowers association and Eastern
Montana Woolmen and a remedy sug
gested by DR.. Knowles at that time
has proven the most efficacious and is
at the same time simple and inexpen-
sive. In the recent outbreak the disease
appears in>i,5 venereal form which
is the main cause of the confusion
prevailing as to it's exact status among
sheep affiliations.
The remedy proposed by DR..
Knowles was and is:
One part of chemically pure nitric
acid in seven parts Of water, applied
to the afflicted parts with a woolen
swab, preferably after removing the
scab.
In the venereal form clean off the
parts with strong solution Of soda
water. Apply to outside with woolen
sWab and inside with hard rubber
syringe.
This treatment has been followed
by dozens Of sheepmen in various parts
OF the state, list of whom may be
OBTAINED by application by letter to
Or. Knowles office, and in the early
stages one application only is usually
sufficient while varying in the progress
OF the disease, in no case have more
than six applications been necessary.
The venereal form of this disease
has been passed upon by DR.. Mohler
of the U. S. Department Of Agricul-
ture, who is perhaps one of the best
pathologists in the world. His con-

TREATMENT FOR
NEW DISEASE
Dr. Knowles, State Veterinarian, Gives Some
Good Advice to the Flockmasters.

clusiOns as to the cause of the disease
being the same as to which lip anc
/ leg liberation is due is undoubtedly
correct. The experience Of sheepmer
in this state, however, and the treat
ment of the disease by them has shown
that carbolic acid preparations and
carbolic sheep dip are not satisfact-
ory. The only two remedies that are
universally used successfully in these
cases are the nitric acid treatment
above mentioned and powdered sui
phate of copper, or bluestone, the first
named being given the preference. In
cold weather, when there is likelihood
Of freezing, the bluestone remedy is
sometimes preferred as it will not
freeze, while the liquid, nitric solu-
ton may.
'FThe sanitary measures suggested
by DR.. Mohler are such as would be
suggested by my department, said
Dr. Knowles. "Specimens from the
veneral form have been sent to DR..
Emil Starr at Helena, and myself,
and both examinations proved cor
clusively the correctness Of DR.. Mob
ler's Investigations.
"A veterinarian representing the
pathological dept. of the Bureau of
Animal Industry endorsed the treat
ment prescribed by myself in the case
of Peterson Bros. located near Baker,
Montana, who report most success
full results in both the lip and leg
liberation and in the veneral form.
each Of the owners of diseased
sheep will be given written notice of
quarantine, together with full direc-
tions for the nitric acid treatment
and others and owners failing to treat
their sheep or to observe quarantine
will be vigorously prosecuted. The
treatment is relatively easy and GER
tain in effects and the amount of labor
required is comparatively cheap. One
pint of the solution is sufficient to
treat thirty sheep if carefully ap-
pied
DR.. Knowles said that there was
ample evidence in his office to prove
that the lip and leg liberation in its
veneral form existed in Cook county,
Wyo., and in Butte county, S. D.,
before they quarantined against Mon
tana and banker at Pierre, S. D.,
was sending for DR.. Knowles report
on the disease before it was reported
| in Custer county, Montana, and he
had not only received the first reports
but had sent for second installment
before the disease was discovered in
Montana. Applications from all ives.
tern states are being received by DR.
Knowles for copies of this report
