and by proper quarantine measures.
No cases have been reported from
Australia, and probably never will be
as long as the present system OF quar-
antine is In vogue. The only way that
rabies can be spread is by the bite
Of an animal. Dogs, being loose and
free to roam, are naturally subject to
it. No dogs have, SO far as my records
or knowledge Of them go, been known
to 20 mad OF their own accord. 1t Is
simply q disease which is carried from
place to place by dogs which have
been bitten by other dogs and which
will bite still other dogs in their turn.
The mad cats which are occasionally
seen have been bitten by mad dogs.
The horses and cattle have been con-
taminated in the same way. II every
dog in the United States were muzzled
and ouarantined as they are restricted
in England and Australia there would
be no rabies.
ut is the ownerless dog which
causes the trouble. He travels far and
wide, fighting over a wide range Of ter
ritory. In one Of the stray flurries he
may be nipped by dog which is In
the early stages Of rabies. He may be
caught by a raving rabies sufferer and
bitten before he can escape. In any
event, he develops the disease.
THE household pet, no matter how
carefully he is watched, may on some
pleasant little jog. when out for exer-
else only q few minutes. perhaps be
cut by q contaminated hound and
doomed. However. these animals rare

More than so per cent of all fires the

IL unnecessary and criminal. Repairs
to dilapidated buildings. the removal
all flre-breeding material, care in burn

". {. WARES PLAN ACCEPTED

The Industrial School commits
sion was in session nearly all day
yesterday and up to noon today,
considering the different plans pre-
sented by the architects. The>task
of selecting the best plan for the
school was not sn easy one, as each
plan had special merit. The plan
submitted by Architect D eLonchant
of Reno, the only Nevadan archi-
tect who competed. was considered
very favorably, but as it did not
provide for a FIRE proof building,
as called for by the board, could
not be selected.
After full Consideration of all the
plans submitted the board unani-
mously accepted the plan submitted
by Ware & Treganza of Salt Lake
City. This plan provides for a two
story and basement f~re-proof
building. The basement is to be 9
feet high, the first story 10 feet
and the second 8 feet. The founda-
ton walls r to be of concrete and
the first and second story exterior
walls of brick, faced with pressed
brick. Stairs and floors to be of
reinforced concrete. Bearing par
titions to be of brick or concrete
and minor partitions of hollow
partition blocks. The kitchen, PAN
tries, etc, are located outside of
the main building. There are two
dormitories and two school rooms
provided in the main buildings, be-
side a sick room, living rooms,
bath rooms, etc.
The plans if faithfully carried
out will give the srate an excellent
building and the unfortunate in
mates all the comforts of a home.

TWO MEN INJURED
BY MOLTEN METAL

A blowout st the smeiter was

jackets; four or FIVE men were in
line and in the panic to get out of

were Knocked off the furnace floor
into the pit, where the Stag pots
run back and forth to serve the

he would have a badly crippled op-
tic. DIR. Knox succeeded in ex-
tracing the exceedingly fine parti-
Gle IF metal Immediately however,
and the eye appears to be uninjured
permanently.
Immediately after the blowout
a stream of cold water was played
upon the opening and the discharge
of metal was stopped in a few min
utts. The blow out was low d1wn
on the furnace so that the dis
charge was largely metal and the
caused by the water
were like rapid-fre guns in action.

A LITTLE HISTORY

The Carson Appeal never misses
an opportunity to harp on Elko
county. 1t claims that its people,
especially the cattlemen, have been
lodging their taxes for years. 1t
still publishes the exploded story
that its tax rate this year will not
exceed 80 cents on the 500 and
claims that it is "a rate never be-
fore heard of in Nevada" In this
the Appeal shows that it does not
know much about the financial his
tory Of Elko county.
For its Information, we will say
that for several years the tax rate
in this county for county purposes
vas SO cents on the 500 and for
State and County it was $3.50 on
the 500. But this was before so
many commissions and other tax
eating jobs were created by the
legislature and fastened upon the
people.
The Appeal seems to think that
these commissions and jobs are
sacred, but that feeling is not
shared by those who pay the taxes.
The state is cursed today with too
many officers drawing fat salaries.
The people are waking up on this
score and the time is not far dis
tant when q good many now at the
public trough will have to rustic
for a living.
The Appeal goes into Mysteries
over what it believes is a scheme of
the cattlcmen to abolish the state
tax commission. At the present
time we are unable to see why the
stoekmen of the state should wan
the tax commission abolished. Has !
! not already favored the cattlemer

ALASKA FARMING

So far as topography, soil and
climate determine the matter Alas
ka has probably 100, 900 square
miles of area on which there are
possibilities for farming and graz
ing. The larger portion Of the
farming land is in the interior in
the Yukon drainage according to
the Department of Agriculture's
new bulleti entitled Possible
Agricultural Development of Alas
ka."
Currant, raspberries, gooseber-
ries, straw berries blueberries and
cranberries are plentiful in Alaska.
Varieties of wheat, oats, rye,
barley, potatoes and many other
vegetables have matured .every
season since the department started
its work at two most northern ex-
pertinent stations. One is on the
Yukon, within rs miles of the Ar
tic circle, another is also in the in
terror, while there is one in the
southeastern and another in the
southwestern portion of the terri
tory.
1t has been positively demon
strated that forage crops may be
grown in the southwestern and
central port ms, as well as potatoes
and other garden vegetables. Chick
en- raising is also proving feasible.
1t has also been estimated that a
great number of farm products are
shipped in that might easily he
raised on the ground.
The new bulletin on Alaska,
while citing so many optumistic
facts, also warns the homesteaders
that th-re are many difficulties to
be encountered.
On the south coast, where the
climate is mild, tillable land is
scarce because of the proximity of
the mountains to the shore line;
elsewhere in Alaska the winters are
long and very cold and frost proof
buildings must be provided for
shelter of family and stock. Bull.
