New Quarantine Orders
Issued BY The Governor
Cattle, Horses, Bees and Alfalfa put
on List. New Law in Force

During the late session of the Leg
islature it was found that Nevada
lacked sufficient quarantine laws in re-
lation to live stock, hay and other
matters. Laws were drawn and pass
ed as suggested by those versed in the
matters and are now to be applied as
the laws provide. Governor Oddie
has issued the following proclama-
tions along the lines mapped out un-
der the present laws
"Whereas. it has been made to ap-
pear to me that the farming industry
in the State is endangered by impor-
tations of alfalfa hay into Nevada
from certain districts of Utah. Idaho
and Wyoming infested with the alfal-
ia weevil:
Now, therefore, 7, Tasker L. Oddie,
Governor of the State of Nevada. un-
der the authority in me vested by
Chapter go, Statutes of Nevada, 1918,
do hereby prohibit the importation
into Nevada OF any alfalfa hay grown
in the following described districts in
adjacent states, and hereby declare
such districts quarantined against by
reason of the presence therein of the
alfalfa weevil. namely: All that GER

THE NEARBY
PEAT FIELD

The mention in the Appeal few
days ago of the discovery of large
acreage of peat in Carson Valley fail
ed to state the location The Gard
nerville Courier gives the following
information relative to the find, which
places the field as near Carson as the
valley settlements:
The Dangberg Land and Live Stock
Company has located on about 500
acres of peat land in this valley and at
this time it is believed that the dis
covery is a most important one The
land is located east of what is known
as the Kirman ranch and extends to-
ward Hot Springs Mountain.
Tests made of the peat have proven
it to be of very good quality Among
those who have tried out the new fuel
is VIM. Hussman He stated to a
reporter of this paper that he gave the
peat trial in the kitchen range and
that the results were very satisfac-
tory.

WORKING
ON PLANT
IN AURORA
Big Mill Under Way
in the Old Camp

The work of construction on the
big milling plant at Aurora has start
ed The grading for the plant is now
under way and the machinery has
been ordered This is to be a 500
ton plant, which will be one of the
largest quartz mills in the state. The
surveys for the railroad from Bodie
to Aurora have been Completed and
the timber for the mill will come from
Mono Mills, near Mono Lake.
Charles Knox, one of the leading
spirits in this big organization has
given out the statement that leases
will be let on the property and is Of
fehng inducements to live leasers
With the big mill in sight the leasers
will be able to treat lower grade ores
than was possible in the past. The
plant is to be run with electric power
making it far less expensive than un-
der the old steam generation.
From appearances aurora will be
one OF the liveliest places in Nevada
during the summer. The advance
ment OF the drain tunnel to the Hum
boldt property is being pushed ahead.
While acting as a drainage tunnel it
will at the same time develop the big
bodies of ore known to exist in this
and other holdings.

NEW SCHEME
ON DODGERS

There are numerous devices by
which the tax shirker circumvents the
assessor and tax collector, but John
T. Gaffey of Los Angeles has devised
a plan by which he believes the tax
collector can bring the tax dodger to
time. This is the substance of what
he would make law.
A man can only will and his heirs
can only inherit the property on which
he paid taxes on the assessment roll
preceding his death. unless such prop
erty can be shown to have been ac-
quired after the assessment roll was
made up.

Cleanup Day Suggestions
Thai Could be Observed
DR.. Yancey Deals With the Subject
From Sanitary Standpoint

The following article on cleanup
day is contributed by DR.. w. L. Van
cey OF this city:
Cleanup Day is near at hand and
everyone who realizes the danger OF
disease-producing microbc organisms
is ready to give every assistance i'll
removing decaying vegetation and
clearing manure piles, from which o5
per cent of our common mouse flies
hatch and grow to the pupal state
whence they emerge as full-grown
flies. the other per cent from kitchen
refuse.
"Dccaycd vegetation OF all kinds pro-
vide favorable media for the growth
and propagation OF many virulent or
ganisms which produce disease to ami
nal lie.
The most essential portion OF the
premises are often overlooked, such
as fence corners. under shrubbery.
cellars, under open porchers, etc.
Sunlight kills many virulent organ
isms, for example,. Bacillus Tubercu-
losis is destroyed by direct sunlight in
two hours.
"Therciore it i, very necessary that
the dark corners be thoroughly clean
ed as they not only harbor bacteria
but provide favorable media for fur
thcr growth and multiplication.
Fresh earth and chlorinatcd lime
are excellent deodorants to use after
removing purifying vegetable mat
ter. a FIVE per cent solution OF
chlorinated lime may be used as a
spray and is both disinfectant and
deodorant.
From previous observation the
writer can but highly compliment the
citizens of Carson in the thorough
manner in which rubbish and manure
are eliminated from the premises each
cleanup day.

of flies and prevent them from carry

illus and many other virulent organ
isms from open vaults to the dwell

are adopting vigilant methods to elm

Nothing is being said or done i'll many
towns and cities in Nevada to raise
the standard of market milk. Two of
the most important food products to
be considered are meat and milk.
Milk should be delivered in separ-
ate containers. and all milk excluded
