Flocks in Nevada Are Afflicted
With Strange Disease-Gov-
eminent May Investigate.

The sheep ranging on portions of
Spring Valley. White Pine county,
Nevada, are afflicted with peculiar dis
ease. Its origin or ultimate cause is
unknown. No method has been devised
by the wool growers in that section
by which the dread malady can be Grad
icated.
The sheep nen are unable to cope
with the situation, and have applied to
Uncle Sam for assistance in fighting the,
deadly disease, which is making serious
inroads on the different bands in tine
eastern part OF the county, The disease
manifests itself ir an unusual way and
appears to be of a contagious nature.
The animals become bloated shortly
after they are taken sick. They usually
live only about twenty four hours. In
rare instances sheep have been known
to recover.
Ii is probable that the government
will detail representative of the bureau
of animal industry to investigate. Re-
ports are received daily of losses or in
dications of future deaths of the sick an.
imals, and the alarm through all the
sheep-growing sectiC .ti =. Ia is very
manifest, and bodies :, nous conse-
quences if drastic action is not resorted
to Immediately.

Valuable Discovery Made

Mountain Home New Time.)
Commissioner-electR r. d. Gorby has
fortune at his command in material
which has been discovered on his ranch
out OF Glenn's Ferry, sample of which
can be seen in our Office window.
The strata is % inches in thickness
and extends over so acres.
The substance will polish gold, silver
or other metals without injury, showing
that it contains no grit. You can grind
it up, mix with water to a moulding
consistency and kiln burn ana it comes
forth with a glaze and terra Gotta
shade OF brown; or yon can vitrify it,
with salt in the burning, and make fine
brick or building blocks of splendid
quality, which weigh one third less tnan
ordinary brick.
There is no question but that Mr..
Gorby will make use of this material in
commercial manner at some not dis
tant date.

SCHOOL BOARD
BUYS new SITE
-FOUR LOTS ON WILSON STREET
between RANSOM AND WARD
PURCHASED FOR $4,000.

After due consideration of the many
sites offered in South Ottumwa for the
erection of new school building. the
school board has decided upon the pur'
chase of the four lots on Wilson
street, between Ward and Ransom
streets for the sum of $4,000. Al
though the deed has not been trans.
ferred as yet: the purchase is settled
and will be formally completed in a
short time. The board feels that II
has gained a splendid site and at
reasonable price.
Chairman Of the finance committee
j. E. Hull stated that the proposition
for the erection Of a building on the
site would in all probability be placed
before the voters of the city at the
next school election, March, 1912. he
also stated this structure would be
known as the South Ottumwa high
school, although seventh and eighth
grades may be transferred from the
other south side schools to relieve the
overflowing enrolment. The first two
years of the high school course will be
taught in this school, the students then
coming to the north side institution to
complete, their courses. The new
structure such as the school board has
been planning, will cost approximately
$4,000.
