RABBITS ARE OVER
RUNNING AUSTRALIA

The rabbit evil is again making it
self felt in Victoria. The insignifi-
cant coney defes all efforts at extermi-
nation, and discovers in his marvellous
power of fecundity a means of with
standing all the efforts made for his
extirpation. We maintain in the state
a special department which absorbs
about 100000 a year, and it would
not be easy to estimate the total
amount which rabbit destruction has
cost publicly and privately. great
deal has been done to diminish the ex-
tent of the ravages from this eause,
but with favorable seasons there Is
such revival of the numbers that a
renewal of the difficulty always threat
ems. Thus, at the present time, there
are parts Of the state liable to be over
run by the pest, and farmers are COM
planning bitterly Of the losses inflict-
ed on them. The Upper Murray dis
trict. In the neighborhood of Cudgewa
and Corryong, has been described as
huge rabbit warren; in the Rochester
district the new settlers find them
selves called upon to face an unex-
pected difficulty, and the Mornington
peninsula is very bad. There are wide
powers invested in the department for
the purpose of insuring rabbit exter-
mination, but practically little can be
done except by united effort. FIX
perience has shown that the only eff
feetual way of dealing with the pest
is by wire netting enclosures and by
carrying out the work of destruction
in detail. 1t is useless for any land
owner to go TO large expense in clear
ing his property while it remains liza
tle to be overrun again through the
neglect of his neighbors. Waste
crown lands are a great breeding
place for rabbits, and therefore some
responsibility is east upon the state
to assist in any effort that may be
made for their truction.-Meloburne
Leader.

County Commissioner H. Stoker
departed last evening for Los Angeles.
He will visit there for a few days
and then go north over the Clark

home in Logan, Iowa.
Fifty years ago, Mr.. Stoker, then q
beardless young man in his teens,
squared his shoulders and directed his
course toward the land of the setting
sun. He landed in Nevada. The cabin
where he cast his first vote, and that
for Abraham Lincoln, still stands in
Elko county. Now, after over half a
Gentry in the sagebrush he returns for
the tlrst time to the land of his birth.
He does not expect to return until
time for the regular meeting of the
commissioners in May.-Lovelock Re-

Busy Preparing for 1915.
A very few years ago San Diego
could hardly be described as other
than somnolent. 1t had beautiful
dreams, but it was distinctly asleep.
It decided to hold an exposition, and
at once the people became awake to
the need of getting ready to show q
proper degree of hospitality to those
who should accept the invitation to
come to the exposition. Hospitality is
the strong characteristic of San Die
gans. They would perish of mOrtifica-
tion if they thought that strangers
within their gates had not been shown
proper consideration. So the city at
once built great hotel, the U. 8.
Grant hotel; they raised over $2,O0O,-
900 to finance the exposition; they
built thousands of houses, spending
some $4,000, 900 last year in this way;
and they made things hum and buzz
with industry so that for the first time
in the history of the city the bank
clearings last month-February-
above the sl0,000000 mark.
And the two millions is really be-
ing expended on the exposition right
now The site is alive with grade :
and builders and the placei is being
rapidly transformed bv the busy wosN-
men into the scene of enchantment
which it is to present in 1913.
