A well-knOWn automobile agent OF
this city said yesterday that all cars
would undoubtedly be selling at from
81 per cent to so per cent less than
present list prices within the next
two or three months. He added:
"The trouble with the automobile
business is that the farmers and PEG

as was anticipated. The farmers tlnt
that the cost CT keeping them in re

ANOTHER R|RR|CAT|OND DIS
TR|CT ORGANIZING
Petition Filed by Land Own
ers on Mill Creek--Hear-
ing Set for June IL.

A petition was filed in district court
loch, repres senting landowners on Mill
creek, west of Woodside, praying for
the establishment of district to be
known as "Mill Creek Irrigation Dis
trict." The petitioners have signed
for about 1000 acres snd additional
acreage will doubtless be included
later. The hearing has been set by
Judge Myers for June II, at which
time the boundaries of the district will
be designated and a board of three
commissioners will be, appointed by
the court.
The purpose of the landowners is to
build a system of reservoirs to hold
the f1oodwaters, which will afford
more stable supply of water all through
the irrigation season. After the dis
trict is formed, long term bonds bear
ing low rate of interest may be
issued, under the supervision of the
court, to raise funds to build the reser-
NOlL udIuS.
An irrigation district, which is
formed under the law known locally
as "Senate Bill 49," is a municipal
corporation, similar to school district.
The land owners on Mill creek sew
eral years ago formed stock company
for this purpose but were unable to
raise funds to carry on the work and
the project fell through. This COM
pany will now transfer it's reservoir
sites TO the irrigation district, which
will experience little difficulty floating
its bonds, which are first lien on the
land within the district.
With plenty of funds available an
abundant supply of water-a gilt
edged water right-can be conserved
at cost of between IS and $40 per
acre, payab in a period covering a
term of 80 years.

Spotted Fever Investigator.
Incidents of where persons in a
healthy condition developed the fever a
few days after finding these woodticks
upon their bodies led the physician to
turn his attention to these insects.
His investigations led to the formula
tion of the theory that the ticks be-
came infected from contact with
animals of the lower order and from
other sources and then transmitted
the bacilli to man. Later DIR. Ricketts,
announced his belief that only the
female tick carried the infection, a
long series of experiments showing
that only the female ticks responded
to the test for the disease germ. He
began experiments to find cure for
the malady, which had baff1ed all
efforts of physicians, and last fall he
announced his belief that at last he
was working upon the right principle
and would be able to perfect on anti
toxin that would cure the fever. DR..
Ricketts, went to Mexico to investiga ate
the typhus fever to aid him in his
work in spotted fever investigation.

EMINENT PATHOLOGIST VICTIM OF
DEADLY TYPHUS FEVER.
DIED IN CITY OF MEXICO
Where He Sought to Establish Some
Analogy Between Typhus and Tick
or Spotted Fever.

whether or not there is any analogy
between it and the deadly spotted fever
of the Rocky mountain district, DR..
H. T. Ricketts,, the famous Chicago
pathologist and spotted fever expert,
who was recently rendered the chair
of pathology in the University of
Pennsylvania, died in Mexico City,
Mexico, yesterday.
News of his death was received to-
day by J c, Moore, one of DR.. Rick
etts' assistants in the spotted fever
work in Montana. DR.. Ricketts, was
trying to discover whether there is
any pathological connection between
the fatal typhus of Mexico, which is
transmitted to human beings by the
Mexican louise, and the deadly spotted
fever, which is carried by the Rocky
mountain woodtick, when he became
infected with the disease he was striv.
ing to master, and succumbed to Its
ravages.
Eminent Authority.
DR.. Ricketts, was assistant instruc.
tor in pathology in the Univ versity of
