ease to their own pzevioas' healthy
herds.
The contagiousness of rhe NStlisease
explains the action of the Federal au-
trorities in quarantining suchNlarge
areas. The practice is to clap
blanket of quarantine on the state in
which case Of the disease has been
found, and then, by careful investi-
cation, determine the exact area in
fected. When an animal suffering
from foot-and- d-mouth disease is dis
covered in herd the whole herd is at
once slaughtered. Otherwise it.
would remain dangerous source Of
infection and be menace to the en-
tire community. It is customary to
appoint an appraiser to value the.
herd. One-half Of the appraised val
ue is paid. to the owner by the FEEDER
al Government and one-half by the
State. The slaughtered animals are
buried in deep trench, their hides
slashed to make it useless for anyone
to dig them up again, and the car
casses are saturated with quicklime.
In this manner previous outbreaks
have been. completely stamped out
and there is every reason to hope
that this. will be the case. this year.
The chief danger is. that there may
be infected herds whose existence is
not reported to the proper authori--t
ties. Farmers are therefore urged,
both for their own protection and as
duty to their neighbors, to report
Immediately all cases of suspicious
sore mouths or lameness among their
stock.
Foot-and-mouth disease affects
chiefly cattle, sheep, goats and swine.
but there are a number of other ami
mails of less commercial Importance
which are also susceptible. Occasion

is not severe in the case of man. Chill
dren, however, may become danger
oEsly i'll if their milk is infected.
The first indications of the disease
are chill followed by high fever,
the temperature rising rapidly, some-
times to 1O6 degrees F. In a short
time vesicules about the size of the
pea appear in the mouth at the end
Of the tongue, on the inside OF the
cheeks, and on the gums. These
vesicles contain yellowish watery
fluid. They spread as the disease
advances and cause the animal to
open and shut it's mouth uneasily
with characteristic smacking sound.
A day or two after the first appear
ance of the eruptions in the mouth
similar indications appear upon the
feet, which are swollen, red, and ten

ouently persists in lying down and
bedsores develop with much rapidity.
In the case of cows the udder and,
more frequently, the teats are affect
ed by similar eruption.

have so far not been accounted for. the
statement says. To the list OF those
saved have been added, the statement

engineer, chief wireless operator, quar-
termaster two deck watchmen and two

was suspected by the officers of the

was mediately stopped and the whistle
was blown once. This signal was an
swered by the Nantucket with two whs-
ties In reply TO this the Monroe whs-
tied twice, being answered in the
same manner by the Nantucket. The
Monroe then kept her whistle going. but
received no further signals. 1t is de-
clared. A few seconds later the vessel

Though some OF the negroes lost their
heads IN the end. there has been notable
commendation Of their conduct generally.
e. p. Lyons said:
THE Monroe's crew behaved splendid :
". There were not very many women
on the ship. but they were allowed TO
get into the boats first There was no
effort on the part OF the men to crowd,
While we were IN the ifeboat we picked
up a man and woman. lie WAS hold
ing her by the hair In his teeth and was
almost exhausted when we pulled him
out.
There were many people who must
have been caught In their stateroorns.
The collision occurred so suddenly and
the boat sank so quickly It's a wonder
that many more were not drowned
THE Nantucket stood by us and those
OF US who could climbed UP the rope lad
der To get on board. Those who were
not able 70 follow us were lifted aboard
the Nantucket by the aid of ropes"

Isolated Saloons
Are to Be Closed

Valdez Prospector: Judge F. M.
Brown today signed an order of
court directing that no more licenses
be issued to applicants for saloon
privileges at towns, camps or road
houses not the headquarters of resi-
dent United States deputy marshal.
The order has been made necessary
because of the abuse of the privil-
eye by many liquor dealers at out Of
the way places, who have been re-
ported to have sold liquor to natives,
resulting in great suffering to the
Indians and their families.
Under the new order the applica-
ton of Andrew Crossword for IL
