FURTHER STEPS
TO KILL PLAGUE
Hunting Barred n Fourteen
Counties Of Ohio
ORDER LIKELY TO Be EXTENDED

Fine Herd Of Beef Cattle on the New
PenItsntlary Farm ordered Slaugh'
tered by Board Of Administration.
Federal inspectors Reaching the
State on Every Train - Crusade
Against Cattle Disease.
Columbus. Nov. 12.-There will be
no hunting in fourteen Ohio counties
this season. Taking quick action on
the proposition of barring hunting in
communities where the foot and
mouth disease is prevalent, the state
agricultural commission issued an or
der against hunting in counties now
under quarantine. These counties
are KnoI, Ottawa, Union. Hardin,
Licking. Fayette, Erie, Lucas, Wy
Rndot. Wood, Henry, Seneca, Hancock
and Marion. The order will be ex-
tended to other counties Il the dis.
ease is discovered In them.
Fearful that its fine herd Of beef
cattle on the new penitentiary farm
at London would become infected, the
state board Of administration now is
having the entire herd of So steers
slaughtered at a local packing plant.
The beef will be distributed among
various state institutions.
Federal inspectors are arriving In
Columbus on practically every train.
Thirty inspectors have arrived to
date. They act in conjunction with
y Ohio inspectors and make daily re-
ports to Dr. lines, who has charge OF
the federal inspection in this state.
State authorities have ordered kill
ed 1873 exposed hogs in the Toledo
stockyards. AS in Chicago, all pigeons
about the yards are being killed.
They are said to be agents in spread

their feet. More than 100 head OF
Licking county cattle and as many
head of smaller stock must be killed,
and war must be waged on trespass-
ing dogs.

TRADE WITH NEUTRALS
Prospects Considerably Improved by
EnaIand's Assurance.


EneIand's Assurance.
Washington, Nov. 10.-The pros
poets Of greater freedom in the con
ditions Of trade between the United
States and the neutral countries ad-
jacent to Germany have been consid-
erably improved The British ambas-
sador brought word to the state de-
partment from his government that
the assurance given by the govern
ments Of Norway, Sweden and Den
mark with respect to prohibiting the
re-exportation of articles Of contra
band imported into those countries,
were satisfactory to Great Britain.
This will restrict interference with
neutral vessels carrying such cargoes
to these countries merely to an exam
ination of papers. The British am
bassador also brought word that the
British government would not regard
tobacco and tobacco products as con-
traband of war.

probable that Bethel is at the presen4

in the state, because the population
has increased approximately 40 per

granite industry in that. community
even as similar industry is to be
given credit for marked growth OF
several other places in Vermont. The
granite business has been a big help
to the little Windsor County village
and it Is bound to make it even more
than ever one of the prosperous, pro-
gessive centers of the state, to which
more and more people will be at

There is one feature about this
kind of growth too, which is some
times overlooked. The increased
population of towns and cities having

SHOCK OFF DEATH.
Ordeal Through Which Archdeacon
Stuck Once Paused.

Archdeacun Stuck, who climbed
Mount Mckinley, the great American
peak, once had his life saved in 4
most extraordinary way.
Late one evening. while exploring in
the arctic regions, he was unlucky
enough to fall through the ice into the
water on his way back TO camp. He
was accompanied by an Eskimo boy
in charge of sledge and n team Of
dogs. and the boy soon had him out
again, but as the thermometer was
then about 10 degrees below zero the
possibility of saving his life seemed
very remote He was wet through,
of course. and before IL fire could have
been got well alight the chances were
that he would have frozen to death.
The resouyceful boy thought Of a
better plan than that The explorer
was already scarcely able to move, but
the boy took one of the dogs ont Of
the traces and forced the archdeacon
to take its place, Then he dashed the
unfortunate mans legs until he was
compelled to run. applying his whip
mercilessly every time the archdeacon
showed signs of tagging.
In this way the boy Kept him NOV
ing rapidly toward their camp. and
by the time they reached 1t the terrible
languor OF death that had threatened
TO overcome the archdeacon had been
shaken off. Parsons Weekly.

Ski Jumping Tomorrow.

Lovers of outdoor sports will
have an opportunity of seeing the
best ski riders in the country in
action at the Curry hill north of
Ironwood tomorrow afternoon. A
good many of the well-known rid
ers prominent in the sport of ski
jumping will take part, including
Ragner Omtvedt, the world S
champion Omtvedt made two SEN
sational jumps at the national
tournament held at Virginia Sun
day and successfully defended his
title of champion jumper. In the
first jump he covered 153 feet and
in the second 161 feet. He failed
however, to equal his mark of l69
feet made on the Ironwood hill last
year, Omtvedt will put forth every
effort to establish another record
tomorrow afternoon, and while he
will be somewhat handicapped on
account Of injuries to his knee re
ceived at Virginia it is expected he
will give a good account OF him
self in addition to being a long
distance jumper he also has the
best of form and to see him per
form will be worth the trip to Curry
hill alone. A large number Of anna
teurs, including boys, have enter
ed for the contests and suitable
prizes have been provided for the
winners. In all $500 in prizes will
be distributed, consisting Of cash,
cups and medals. Those in charge
of arrangements have not left any
thing undone which would tend to
the success of the tournament The
hill is said to be in good shape and
the officers of the club look for
one of the best tournaments pulled
off this year.

With the immense water powe

With the immense water powers
everywhere in Northern Wisconsin
it is only a matter of a very short
time until every farm house will be
lighted by electricity and certain ma
chinery operated. There is not a
town in Chippewa county that has
not a stream running through it that
if damned could not supply the
farmers of the town with light and
power. Through many OF the towns
electric wires are already strung
and it is only a matter of a few years
when the price will be so low that
the farmers will find it profitable
to tap the wires. The uses to which
electricity could be applied are al
most numberless. 1t would furnish
power for operating cream separat-
ors, cnurns, washing machines, ice
cream freeZers, vacuum cleaners,
electric flatirons, and many other
things that might be used upon a
large farm Chippewa Independ-
ent.
The above is an optimistic view
of what is likely to largely prevail
in the water power districts of up
| per Wisconsin.
