STATE FAIR Will PAY
ALL PREMIUMS IN FULL

Secretary Phillips, of the Nevada
Agricultural association, yesterday
completed the formalities necessary to
collect from the state the $4,000 appro-
priation made for the state fair held
recently in Reno, says the Gazette.
In advance of the fair not penny
of the appropriation was available,
but it was necessary to make up a
carefully detailed account of expendi-
lures from the bills received and
premiums awarded. Advertising ex-
penses and premiums only may be paid
from the appl opriation. Premiums on
the livestock alone were $1,000. 1t
was found that all accounts that might
be charged against the $4,000 appro-
priated came within As cents of equal
ling the sum appropriated.
Many reminders of premiums due
have been received from anxious win
ners, but none of the 400 checks will
be sent out until the state has paid
over the appropriation money. Direct
ors of the association have not yet met
to go over the accounts. Money suf-
ficient to meet all obligations is said
to be on hand.

PREVENTION OF TYPHOID FEVER

Much has been written regarding
the common fly as a distributor of dis
ease, particularly of typhoid. Much
more needs to be written regarding
these filthy insects before people will
be adequately aroused to action
against them. Flies breed in filth and
feed upon filth. Feeding as they do
indiscriminately upon manure, sew
age, garbage and upon food destined
for human consumption, they transfer
the micro-organisms from the manure
piles, privy and garbage receptacles to
the food in our kitchens, dining rooms
pantries, stores and markets. A fly
alighting upon food will transfer to !
thousands of bacteria. One fly, strug-
Cling in milk, may leave there humid
reds of thousands of germs. If that
fly was bred in the excreta from ty-
phoid patient, he carries typhoid
bacilli upon his body, and leaves them
upon the food. In this way only may
single cases and small outbreaks of
this disease be accounted for.
IF YOU DON'T KILL THE FLY.
THE FLY WILL KILL YOU.

PARCELS POST CAUSES
SEVERAL RESERVATIONS


Mrs. i. M. Nicely, postmaster at
Deeth; Mrs. Mclaughlin, postmaster
at Charlehton; Oliver Mccall, mail
carrier between Deeth and Jarbidge,
and the postmaster at Jarbidge, have
sent their designations to the postal
department because they refuse to
handle the amount of parcels post
shipped into the mining camp of Jar
bidge.
A merchant at Jarbidge has dis
covered that he can receive his
freight cheaper by parcels post via
Deeth and Charleston than he
can freight and has been ordering
canned goods of all kinds by post.
Last week Mccall carried 1900
pounds of this stuff into Jarbidge
from Deeth and this week started out
with 1900 pounds more, leaving more
than 1000 pounds in the Deeth post
Office. A postal inspector is investi-
eating the matter and an effort is be-
ing made to have a mail line estab-
lished between Twin Falls, Idaho, and
Jarbidge, instead of the line between
Deeth and Jarbidge.

ANOTHER s. P.
UNMFRCING SUIT

The government, through Attorney
General McReynolds, has decided to
institute suit against the Southern
Pacific for the recovery of the Central
Pacific, says the Chronicle.
All doubts as to the government g
intentions relative to Central Pacific
were dispelled yesterday ON receipt of
information that within very brief
period it will have filed suit against
the Southern Pacific under the Sher-
man antitrust act, by means of which
the government expects to prove that
the Southern Pacific, by the ownership
of is lines through Arizona and Texas,
and its Central Pacific line to Ogden
controls combination in restraint of
trade.
The basis on which the new suit will
be filed is not dissimilar to that in
volving the old relationship between
the Southern Pacific and the Union
Pacific.
Competing With Itself.
Comes now the government claiming
that inasmuch as the Southern Pacific
has line through Arizona to Ell Paso,
the Southers Pacific's Ogden line is
competitive and that the Central Pa
cific line from Sacramento to Ogden Is
in reality competing line, bucking
/ tha Sonfharp fiot
Through this relationship, it is
claimed, the Southern Pacific main
tains a railroad combination in re-
straint of trade, and McReynolds, il is
asserted, seeks to turn over to the
Union Pacific the Central Pacific,
thereby giving the Union Pacific q
through line to San Francisco as well
as one of the shortest routes between
that city and Sacramento.
Vice President w. +. Herrin, in
charge of the legal department Of the
Southern Pacific, will defend the rail-
road IS case and he will be assisted
principally by Peter F. Dunno and C.
W. Durbrow, according to information
obtained yesterday. Maxwell Everts
was to have played prominent part
in the prosecution, but his untimely
death upset many plans in which he
figured prominently.
The main defense of the Southern
Pacific in its fight to retain Central
Pacific win be that Central Pacific has
no effect on it's Southern business,
especially in view of the competitive
conditions offered by the Oregon Rail-
road and Navigation company in the
north. AS to its southern lines, the
Southern Pacific will try to prove that
because of the nature of the business
there is no similarity between Ogden
and San Francisco and San Francisco
and Ell Paso.

MAY HAVE BEEN
VICTIM OF HOLDUP

J. C. Weir, president of the Hum
boldt Pioneer Mining company, whose
property is located in the vicinity OF
DEMO, arrived in town from the mines
yesterday morning.
Mr.. Weir started from the mine
Sunday, going to Quinn river cross.
ing, expecting to get ride to Winnie
mucca. After waiting for two days,
he took passage in an automobile,
bound for Jungo. When within Is
miles of that town the machine broke
down, and the owner informed Mr..
Weir that he would be obliged to walk
to town. This he declined to do and
climbed into the car, telling the owner
that when he reached Jungo to send a
team for him. At o. clock the next
morning the team arrived and Mr..
Weir went into Jungo.
At an early hour yesterday morning
he took the Western Pacific train for
Winnemucca, arriving here at 4
O'Clock. What happened after he
reached here is considerably mixed. In
any event Mr.. Weir's face is badly
damaged. He states that he remem-
bers stepping off the train, and that
as to the events of the next half hour
his mind is a blank. He was discov-
cred wandering about the yards, with
his face covered with blood, by a
Western Pacific employee, shortly af-
ter No. 2 had left, and was taken to
the Winnemueca hotel, where his in
juries were attended to.
Mr.. Weir is of the opinion that he
was struck across the forehead by
some man prowling about the yards,
who attempted to rob him. However,
he carried no money in his pockets,
his roll being securely sewed in the
back of his clothes.
Mr.. Weir states that ore is being
sacked at the mine, and that ship
ment will be made during the present
month. The ore runs 26 per cent cop
per and between $500 and $1,000 in
gold and silver.

AWAKfN|NC'S SAN
|TARY CONDITIONS

At the meeting of the county com
missioners, held the fore part of the
week, DIR. P. J. Mangan, county health
officer, submitted the following report
on conditions at Awakening:
The superintendent of the county
hospital called my attention to the
fact that patient died recently at
the hospital from typhoid fever, and
that four others are now in the hospi-
tai, all i'll with the same disease. All
these patients came from the camp of
Awakening, indicating that there must
be some condition existing there
which was responsible for what ap-
peared to be an epidemic.
After comforting with Commissioner
iIaviland | visited the camp on Fri
day, October Sd, and after inspection,
submit the following report:
The camp is situated on rising
ground, and consists of some half
dozen tents, arranged in row south
of the mill. At the end of the row of
tents there is frame building, divid-
ed into compartments, one used for
the kitchen and the other for the din
ingroom. The building, which is not
ceiled, looks clean, and the utensils
are as clean as could reasonably be
expected. About 100 feet south is a
wooden privy, the pit of which is
filled to about four feet of the surface.
Flies have ready access. There is a
second privy to the extreme north of
the camp. 1t is a wooden enclosure,
has no roof, and the pit is filed to
about three feet of the surface. Flies
abound outside and inside this privy.
Opposite to and about 100 feet
from the kitchen door to garbage pit.
into which slops, ETC., from the kitch-
en- are thrown by the Chinese cook. A
hog-pen had been at this point, but is
there no longer.
An open gutter leads from the kitch-
en- door conveying dishwater from the
kitchen. Within the kitchen the food
is unscreened, garbage is exposed un-
covered and flies abound. In the din
ingroom flies are numerous, and sew
eral cone-shaped traps, filled with
flies, are conspicuous on a shelf. Ere
ON ba koh1 A.
men arrive, so that the flies have am
pie opportunity to alight upon the
food. All the people in the camp eat
in this room.
1t is established that the typhoid
bacillus is present in the excrement of
those suffering with and recovering
from typhoid fever. 1t is also estab-
lished and proved by the U. S. gov
ernment that the fly, which breeds in
filth, is the carrier of the germ from
the privy to the kitchen.
As the kitchen and mess-room at
Awakening are not provided with
screens, but, on the contrary, having
numerous open spaces, permits an easy
entry of the fly, and in this way the
food is infected, and susceptible per-
sons partaking thereof are infected
with typhoid fever.
| took samples of the water, which
is pumped from depth of 70 feet, and
find it to be perfectly free from or
ganic matter, and does not warrant
the expense of making chemical and
meteorological examination.
While at the camp explained my
reasons for believing that their ty-
phoid cases were due to the Lack of
protection from flies, and gave in
structions as to the most practical way
to better existing conditions and was
assured that the plan outlined would
be carried out.

IDAHO SHEEPMEN Will
MOVE TO SOUTH AMERICA

Fearing that the Democratic tariff
bill, in conjunction with high prices
charged in Idaho for pasture and
ranges, will make the raising of sheep
and wool in that state Improbable, a
company has been formed with eapi-
tai of $250,000 to operate large
sheep ranch in Argentine and Pata-
gonia in South America.
At the head of the company is DR..
H. g. Bettis, of Boise, and associated
large holdings in Idaho sheep. The
taking of the tariff off wool is said to
be the main reason for the exploiting
of the sheep industry in South Amer
lea, as it is said that the wool can be
raised and shipped to Boston from
that continent cheaper than it can be
raised in Idaho or other of the western
states. A land grant of 100000 acres
has been made to the new company. or
to an individual connected with the
company, and as soon as arrangements
are made for incorporation, thous-
ands of sheep in Idaho will be shipped
to the new grazing lands in South
America.
Large Sheep Owner.
DR.. Bettis is one of the largest
sheep owners in the northwest and has
been actively engaged in fighting
against the abolition of the tariff on
wool during the past year. Free
ranges are almost nullity in Idaho
and the charge for grazing has been
repeatedly raised, until at the present
time it is from Is to % cents per head
for sheep pasture. 1t is understood
that the Patagonia and Argentine
grant costs the new company a little
less than four cents per head. The
ranges on which the new company
will pasture its sheep are said to be
open the year around and this will do
away with the necessity of having a
winter range for the sheep.
According to word received in Salt
Lake, meeting was held in Boise last
Friday, at which plans for the moving
of the sheep from Idaho to South
America were discussed. The capital
of the company is represented mostly
by the sheep belonging to those who
are in the corporation. While the
sheepmen received good prices for
their wool this year, there is feeling
that under the operation of the new
tariff law prices will decline very ma
terially during the next six months
and that Australia, New Zealand,
South America and English wool will
drive the American woolgrower from
the field. Australia places an export
duty on wool and this is said to have
deferred many American sheepmen
from going to that country instead of
South Ameriea.-Herald-R Republican.
