SHEEP ALONG IRRIGATION
CANAL.

The National Irrigation Journal
SAYS:
THE experiment which it is said
will be undertaken on the canals OF
the Sunnysids project of the recla-
nation service. of using flock OF
five hundred shoep TO assist in keep
ing the canal banks in order during
the present season, has in it the
promise of success. The plan is TO
keep down weeds and grass growth
by running the sheep over the ter
ritory three times during the sea-
son, end then seeding to white clover
and blue grass similar plan for
& slightly different purpose has been
employed in Washington Park. Chi
csgo. for several years. The turf was
never in better condition and the
woolly lawn mowers are relieved to
be the best ard least expensive the
park board ever employed. In the
case OF keeping canal banks in order
there is the further advantage that
the close cropping that sheep always
give will have a tendency to
strengthen the growth of the roots
and thus cause the formation of a
pe rmanent bank thoroughly held to-
gether"

INFANT PARALYSIS
CURE IS IN SIGHT
Harvard Medical investigator
Believes He Has Found
Virus of Disease.

A cure for that frightfuI disease,
infantile paralysis, will soon be given
to the world. it is confidently expect
ed.
After four years study and inyes-
tigation at Harvard medical school,
Dr. Philips A T. Shepherd is con-
yinced that ne has isolated the micro
scopic, infectious virus that attacks
the spinal cord and causes infantile
paralysis, with all it's hideous symp-
toms.
/ Now that the virus, morbid poison,
has been isolated, it viii be compare
lively easy 10 find an anti-toxin TO
combat it.
DR.. Shepherd, special investigat-
or for the state board Of health, de-
ciares that dust, particularly, and the
horse fly carry the virus OF infantile
paralysis and play the most important
part in its propagation and distri-
button.
Cause Found, Cure Will Follow.
suit Of the virus DR.. Shepherd said
the other day:
1T must be remembered that all
our experiments seek a specific cure
for the dreadful disease. The first
step must be the absolute demonstrate
ion of the cause of infection, for to
know the cause is about half way TO
finding a cure.
"A peculiar feature Of the disease,
so far as my observations show, is
that it has been found to occur in
all classes Of the community regard
less of the sanitary status, though
in the majority of cases the sanitary
conditions we're below par
Dust figures to certain extent in
every case that has come to our at
tention. 1t is interesting as matter |
of record to note that more than so |
per cent of the cases have occurred /
in houses that have been built and |
occupied more than ten years.
Has Been Tried on Monkeys.
The disease is often transmitted 1
by insects, particularly the biting fly /
or horse fly. The common house lily
IS not believed to be in any extent
for the spread of the
disease.
The Massachusetts board of health
which is ranked in the Vanguard so
far as experiments with a view to a
cure for this disease are concerned,
has experiments extensively with
which have been inoculated
With the virus.
The disease las been successfully
implanted in mcnkcys e. introducing
he virus into the braiI and other
parts of the body"

Supt. l.. II. Phetteplace, in company

took horseback ride trip last week
over the proposed 40-mile extension of
that line from Dante, Va, to Elkhorn

mostly under ground and over bridges.

B. Thomas, one of the most prominent
business men of this city, died very sud-
denly at four o'clock this afternoon, fol-
lowing an attack of heart disease. Mr..
Thomas had not been sick at all, and
had been walking around and attend
ing TO business affairs just few min.
utes before the end came.
The deceased, who was forty seven
years of age, is survived by a widow
and six children. He was large land
owner and farmer, and did very ex-
tensive business as dealer in machin-
cry and farming implements. Funeral

TO THE CITIZENS
OF JOHNSON CITY

Reports are being circulated that |
am working to again become the chief
of police of Johnson City; that the
holding of the mass-meeting on last
Friday night was part Of the scheme
to elect me; that the candidates nomi-
mated were chosen in my interest; and
certain enemies of mine and opposeFs
of those candidates are making these
assertions in sly and underhand way
in order to injure them and me.
That such assertions are Contempt
BILE falsehoods should be evident to ev-
cry one, since not one of those people
will come out in the open and make
them. Men do not fear to tell the
truth. 1t is only when they are lying
that they secretly whisper such things
into the ears of their fellow-cltizens.
Not one of these slanderers will face P.
H. Wohord, j. B. Morley, NJ. b. Mar
tin or J. H. Pierce and make such as
sertions, and, until they will do that,
no good man should attach any impor-
lance to what they say. ! challenge
any man to cone forward with the
proof.
AS for myself, under existing condi-
tions and with the salary attached, |
would not have the place. l owe my
family living and the salary is not
sufficient for that. Then, toe, there
are many conditions that should be
changed to make the police depart
nent efficient-changes in the ordi-
nances and rules governing the depart
ment, as well as an increase of the
force, which changes I doubt if the
town can now make-and the position
of chief of police has no attraction for
me SO long as the force can not be
made thoroughly efficient.
If the gentlemen who were nominal
ed at the mass convention are so much
my friends as to wish to give me the
position of chief of police, and if the
large number of citizens at that con-
vention are SO friendly toward me as
to wish me to have the place, L feel
highly honored, since it would be the
expression of a sentiment in my favor
by majority of our best citizens; but
they are men of too high character to
choose officials for the government of
the city in the interest of any man or
set of men, and / would not have been
guilty of such folly as to ask that they
nominate candidates in my interest.
Respectfully,
GEO. +. CAMPBELL.

For West Tennessee, David A. Num-,
Brownsville.
The vice-presidents are to name COM
mittees in their respective counties and
grand divisions to aid and cooperate
with them in the work of raising funds.
Each vice-president is TO exercise his
discretion as to the number to compose
his own committee.
The association is to have certificates
of membership engraved in an artistic
manner, and each contributor of one
dollar or more to the fund will have
mailed to his address one of these to be
kept as token of his connection with
the movement.
A fund is already at the disposal of
President Tyler for stationery, postage,
stenographer, ETC., and an active cam
paign is TO be launched to bring to con-
summation this work which all recog-
nize rs most fitting recognition of the
long years of faithful and successful
service of the late congressman.
There is to be no limit, minimum or
maximum, on the size of contributions.
Already single contributions as large
as 500 and $50 are in sight. No other
Tennessean ever did more favors to in
dividuals and communities than Col.
BrOwnlow; and, if that be Il token,
thousands of the benefciaries of his
labors will be glad to volunteer their
influence and support to the Iaudable
movement.
The next meeting of the association
will be held in Johnson City on July 4.
Contributions volunteered may be
mailed to the treasurer at Johnson City.

Edwin Hawley's Dream.

Behind this project lies the dream OF
Edwin Hawley for the G, and o. and
its allied branches in the middle west
to get direct line from the great lakes
to the south Atlantic seaboard pre-
liminary to the opening of the Panama
canal in 1915.
&. and o. officials here do not deny
that the way is being paved to put
these plans into effect. 1t is regarded
as significant that M. J. Caples, who
came with the &. and o. last winter
from the c., &. and O., of which he
had been vice president and general
manager for several years, is slated
for the presidency of the G. and o., as
soon as President Stevens retires.
The latter recently underwent severe
operation, and it is rumored that he
may give up active duties at an early
date.
Caples holds the position of fourth
vice president of the G. and o. He
has charge of transportation, main
tenance and construction. He is also
vice president of the Hockey Valley,
an adjunct of the &. and o., and Incl
dentally the road by which the
through route to the Great Lakes is to
be consummated.
