fected, and only sixty-nine infected
squirrels were found as compared to
902 in 1912 and AT in 1913. The twen-
ty-one ranches were comprised in
seven foci or localities, situated two
in one county, one in a second, three
in a third, and one III the fourth
county. The percentage of infection
has fallen from three per cent in
1912 and 1.S6 per cent in 1918, to 0.3
per cent in 1914. All infected and
adjoining property has been hunted
intensively from two to five times
this summer, and hunters now have
to cover an average Of twenty-siX
acres to obtain n squirrel.
From the experience gained, the fol-
lowing facts were ELECTED:
First: Ground squirrels can be so
reduced in numbers that plague can
not be discovered among them.
Second: Squirrels have been re-
'duced ninety per cent over an area
of 100000 acres.
: Third: Squirrels have been, to all
practical purposes, e%radicated from an
ire of 250,00N acres, which COM
iprised all infected ranches and the
ranches Immediately adjoining.
Fourth: After he completion of
squirrel determination operations on
infected land, in only one instance
has hunting of the most intensive
character revealed the presence Of
plague among the few squirrels that
had ESCAPED destruction.
In view of these facts it is believed
that all ~discoverable plague has been
eliminated from California, and that
danger Of it's further spread has been
removed. Observation will be main
tanned until after the lext breeling
season, which begins in April, 1915,
and ends about July, 1915, when
if no further infection has made it's
appearance-the statement can be
made with certainty that. no plague
exists in California.
Large economic benefits have ac.
crued to farmers as a result of SPUR
rel destruction, and all are now in
terested in finally destroying these
rodents.
The conduct of the campaign has
constituted a. new departure in SAM
tation, in that about twenty-five per
cent of the money expended by the
state will eventually return to the
treasury.
From accurate count kept of in
Hesitation on W 100000 acres, To-
Gated in different places, it was learn
ed that the average infestation was
6.5 squirrels per acre. From this it
is estimated that 2%0,15O,OO9 squirrels
have been killed on the 3,10O, 900
acres TREATED, The average cost for
labor and material has been ia cents
per acre.

HARRISON Makes
APPEAL TO wilson
Head Of Southern Railway Asks
the President to Solve
Problem.

New York, Dec. l2.-An appeal to
President Wilson to solve the railway
problem, or ito establish a 'Consti-
tuition of Peace among the variant
views and interests which menac the
success Of the system Of t%ransporta-
tion," was made by Fairfax Harrison,
president of the Southern Railway,
in an address at the annual dinner Of
the Railway Business Association
here Thursday. The association is a
national organization of manufacture
ers, merchants and engineers dealing
with railways.
mr.. Harrison said:
in the controversy between the
owners of railroads and the %represen-
tatives of the public, the pendulum
has now swung to an extreme on the
side Of irresponsible public power as
it had previously swung to an eX-
IRENE on the side of irresponsible
ownership.
1.-The conception is that in the I'M
position Of burdens, railroad compa-
MES are public concerns and subject
to the public regulating power. but, in
the matter of relief. are private prop
erty and not entitled to be colsid-
cred from the standpoint Of their
public service.
Like the previous stage of ire
sponsible private control the existing
system Of irresponsible, rigid and di.
vided regulation cannot permanently
endure. My present purpose is not
to venture to suggest the solution
but the source from which al ac-
ceptable solution must come.
THE problem is a statesman's op-
portunity. He who solves it must
be trusted by all the people. He must
be above suspicion of selfish motive.
All the lessons OF history must be at
his command. He must be a pro-
found student of human action and of
human government. He must have
power to impress his views upon his
fellowman. He must DE able, with
just and equal hand, to divide unto
capital and unto labor it's living.
"He must be able to assure the
public of the correction of abuses,
the establishment of justice and the
maintenance of facilities adequate for
their needs, and he must be able to
assure the private owner of protec-
ton Of his just interests and of fair
ness to his just rights. He must be
able to reconcile the people to his
philosophy Of regulation and the pol
itician to the loss of a highly valued
political asset. Is there a man among
us who is capable of this?
"I venture to suggest that the pres

"As far as the submarines them
selves are c~oncernedytit ia believed
that our are on a par with any in the
world. In the appropriation made by
the last congress the types for the
first time were included--one of high
surface speed, to accompany the fleet
and one for coast and harbor de-
Tense. In the building of two such
distinct types we are in accord with
what foreign countries are doing, and

these two types. 4# ~"
OF aviation the secretary says:
Air craft have demonstrated in
the present war in Europe that no
military arm is complete which lacks
them. They will not replace vessels
of war, but will extend the field Of
operations to the air, as well as on
the surface and underneath the wa

discovering submarine mines, and
have now become an indispensable
naval adjunct. " 4lsa5s% va a'.

"Ftinancial conditions resulting
from the European war have caused
the department to refrain from ask

says a plan will be presented to %

ton of a competent naval reserve

Secretary Daniels again urges
that the grades of admiral and vice
admiral be restored and giving. cob

in charge of a group of schools in
North Carolina, visited his friend,
Rev. Hugh r. Murchison, the past

church In the afternoon. At the
morning service Mr.. Atkinson took
for his text "And there went with
him a band of men whose hearts God
had touched" 1 Samuel, 10th chap
ter and part of the 26th verse. His
