A steamboat ferry existed on
Washoe lake. Well, what have you
got to say about that? The boat
was built In 1861 by DR.. Simeon
Bishop. who was subsequently SUI
perintendent of the Nevada insane
asylum. 1t was constructed for the
purpose of ferrying ores from the
Comstock to little mills at Washoe
City, which then had a population
of about 1900 The ore was hauled
from the Comstoek in large quartz
wagons and unloaded on the steamer
at about where the windmill now
stands. or formerly stood, and feried
across to Washoe City, and from the
landing point carried by wagons and
carts to the mills. The ferry suf-
fered from a terrible handicap, caused
principally by the fact that after
making few trips the boat went
on a strike and refused to work, and
would listen to no terms of com
promise whatsoever Carson News

SHEEP USED TO
TRAP SPOTTED
FEVER TICKS
NOVEL EXPERIMENT TO RIO A
RANGE or A pEsTRucT.
I'VE PEST.

The free grazing Of $500 head OF
sheep upon the Bitterroot national
forest in the state OF Montana, has
been authorized by the secretary Of
agriculture as part of a novel ex-
pertinent In trapping the deadly spot
ted fever tick. The forest service
and the public health service are
working together in cooperation with
local sheep growers in this new
campaign.
It is the general belief of the lead
Ing medical authorities that the mys-
terious and frequently fatal disease
commonly known as spotted fever is
spread by the tick dermacentor an
dersoni which. in parts Of the Bitter
root forest, occurs in such abundance
that it constitutes real menace to
man and beast Surgeon McCIintic
of the public health service died last
year of spotted fever contracted dur
ing his study Of the disease and its
control.
The plan proposed contemplates the
grazing Of two bands Of sheep upon
the parts Of the forest where the tick
is most abundant, with the idea that
large numbers of the ticks will at
tach themselves to the sheep. Then,
as occasion requires, the sheep will
be freed Of the ticks by being dipped
in an inseeticide solution which viii
kiln the ticks without in any way in
Turing the sheep.
The engorging of the female tick
with blood is one of the essential
Functions Of reproduction, and this
gorging must of necessity take place
upon the larger mammals which
serve as hosts to the tick. The u

There are great many advo-
Gates OF what is known as the
single tax" league. The single
takers believe if a person owns
vacant property it should either
be improved or sold at reason
able price to some one who will
improve it. In other words the
whole burden of taxation should
fall on the land and no tax be
levied on improvements made. At
first thought this does not sound
reasonable, but just stop and
think how it would build up many
a town where few own desirable
lots and refuse to sell at any
reasonable price, figuring on i'm
provements made on adjoining
property making their property
worth more.

Every time an auto tourist makes
the mistake of going south from
Springer,ille, the Phoenix papers
print few yards about the terrible
condition of the Northern Ocean to
Ocean route. The Springerville
Globe road is bad one, but it is
not part of the northern route by
any manner of means. No trav-
eler has road trouble going across
country on the northern route and
many of them are doing it right
along, and praise the road. This
is a much better year round route
than the southern one across the
desert. for in summer there
are a few months when auto
MODELLING in boiling sun through
sand is anything but sport. In
winter there is little overland ira
vel from the east consequently the
north route is not only best and
most practical, but it has the whole
world beaten for scenery.

WANTS TO PRESERVE
NAVAJO INDIAN DWELLINGS.

A movement for the preserva-
ton of the old Navajo Indian
dwellings about Kayenta, in north
ern Arizona, has been set on foot
by Governor George Hunt. He
has written to United States SEN
ator Henry F. Ashurst and taken
the matter up personally with
Congressman Carl Hayden, State
Historian Parish and Prol. A. H !.
Wilde, president OF the university.
There are a number Of ancient
Indian dwellings Of great histori-
cal interest around kayenta, and
they are wholly unprotected.
Tourists carry away relics at their
pleasure, and it is estimated that
within a few years the stone house S
will be torn to pieces unless some-
thing is done to preserve them.
Governor Hunts idea is that an
area about kayenta, including the
dwellings, be included in a ma
tional or state monument, then
that some historical society have
caretaker stationed there. II
not made national monument,
the matter will be brought before
the next state Legislature. Dem

Gentlemen:
This is to inform you that under
the new Revenue Law, passed by
the last State Legislature, cities
and towns may now have their
assessments made by the county
assessor, if they so desire. See
Section SO.
AS the assessing season under
the new law opens the first Mon
day in January and your request
must be made to the county as
SCISSOR on or before that date, the
Commission deemed it advisable
to notify you this early in order
that your Honorable Body might
have ample time to consider
whether you will take advantage
of the opportunity or not.
You are also advised that it is
the intention of this Commission
to strictly enforce the law in all
cities and towns that all assess
ments for the year 1914 must be
made on the full cash value.
By order of the
