Quarantine California Cattle

Carson, Nevada, May 2l.-The State
OF Nevada. through Governor T. l..
Oddie. has declered quarantine against
diseased cattle from points in California
south of the Mt. Diablo base line, which
is aoout on line with Stockton and
Mono Lake. Cattle afflicted with
Texas. splenic or tick fever. tubercu.
losis. blackleg or anthrax. are barred
from entering Nevada under this quar-
antine, except to pass through the State
on the railroads en- route to points be.
yond Nevada.
Representation was made to the Gov
ernor by stockmen of Gardnerville and
vicinity that diseased cattle were being
driven from Southern California onto
the ranges Of Nevada to feed, and that
diseased cattle among the herds are a
menace to the greatest industry of this
State. 1t is thought probable that the
California temporary quarantine on Ne.
vada potatoes. because of the eel worm,
prompted some of the complaint against
the California cattle.

FREIGHT RATES ARE CUT
The Nevada Commission and At
torney General Secure Another
Victory For This State

A Washington dispatch says: By an
order just fled the Interstate Commerce
Commission has not only confirmed the
wisdom Of the course OF the Nevada
Railroad Commission In avoiding CON-
promises, but has insured the reducti on
of commodity rates to Nevada points
amounting TO q substantial advantage,
effective June 1.
The commission consents to the fling
Of rate reductions on the initiative of
the railroad amounting to ten or fifteen
per cent in excess Of terminal rates for
shipments originating on Missouri river
points, with suitable increases for ship
ments originating farther east. For
eastern Nevada points the excess over
terminal rates is but five to ten per
cent on Missouri river point shipments.
The granting Of the order will not only
avoid placing the Nevada cases under
the fourth section In jeopardy. but will
also leave the intermountain cases,
which are unoompleted before the com
mission. unim paired by any suggestion
of compromise. The commission has
not passed on the ableness OF the
proposed rates for the interim, but has
merely given permission to file them as
an independent act.
The victory Of the Nevada commits
sion and the attorney general consists in
being sustained as TO the danger of
compromise aud In the refusal of the In
terstate commerce commission to sane
tion the proposed Spokane compromise
which had been used to align Spokane
against the other intermountain ship
pers. The commission refused to reoog.
nize the agreement TO dismiss the Spo-
kane case and the intermountain cases
are therefore still pending for such action
as may be necessary under the decision
to be given In the fourth section cases
before the supreme court.
The rates to be put into effect after
June cover approximately 800 OF the
leading articles which move in carload
lots and while they do not give the full
measure Of relief contended for they
are very substantial.

Geological Survey Issues
New Map of Continent

How many people would guess that
the Atlantic end of the Panama Canal

the Pacific end is on the east coast?
Look at the map aud see how the east
coast OF the isthmus becomes q west

in the publication of a map OF the con-
tinent OF North America. il is worthy OF
note that the United States geological
survey has just issued large map Of
North America. 2S by 3S inches. in three
colors. This is probably the most ac-
curate general map of its character that
has yet been published and is particu-
larly well adapted for school work. 1t
is on a scale of 1853 miles to inch. which
is sufficient to show in considerable de-
tail the major geographic divisions, such
as States and Provinces. Colorado thus
extends 21s inches east and west and
Cuba AZ inches the longest way. The

SOMETHING ABOUT COLDS

One of the commonest as we'll as one
OF the most unpleasant of human expert
ences is that of taking cold. A cold is
one of the easiest things to take and one
OF the hardest things to get rid of that
lies within the average human expert
ence and that. Notwithstanding the fact
that the remedies suggested and recon-
mended are sufficient in number to
make mp a special materia medica.
We are prompted to speak of this sub
Ject by reason of communication to
the Medical Record from DIR. Richard
Ellis. New York physician. which in
sofar as IL suggests preventive OF colds
has the ring CT common sense.
The doctor says that when he feels a
draft blowing on his bald head. he rubs
the bald spot vigorously for few min-
utes. thereby restoring circulation aud
escaping all disagreeable results ia the
form of cold. He goes ON further TO
say that sneezing is always followed by
congestion Of the face, and more especi :
ally when the sneeze is hearty. He ex.
plains that that is mai ure's way Of bring
ing the blood back. / is a protest
against conditions that threaten q cold.
Ii is natures effort to prevent the cold,
bot as most OF us know, 1t is an unsuc-
cessful effort.
The fact suggests that when the ma
sal mucous membrane is first congested
and one feels that he Is taking cold, if
he will only bend forward, as if picking
upa pin, and strain gently until the
face is red. and then straighten up and
breathe vigorously through the con-
gested nasal organ, he will find that
with repetition of the process the con-
gestion will be overcome and a cold will
be avoided.
just as simple as rolling off log, il il
will only work. At all events. it is one
OF those remedies for which there is no
charge. which, by the way, may be its
chief merit.
