GOVERNMENT TAKES UP FIGHT
Forest Service and Biolericai Survey to Tr,
to Prevent Spread Of Disease

Forest Service and Biological Survey to Try
to Prevent Spread Of Disease
The Department Of Agriculture is
taking action, through the Biological
Survey and the forest service, to COM
bet serious wave Of rabies infection
OF wild and domestic animals that is In
danger Of becoming widespread in the
far west. The fact that the extensive
dissemination Of the disease is taking
place through the agency Of coyotes
makes the situation Q difficult one to
meet.
Outbreaks Of rabies among coyotes
have been noted from time to time for
several years in parts of Washington,
Organ, and northern Idaho. and the
forest service undertook last year to
cid In bringing the disease under con-
troll By employing hunters TO make war
on coyotes in the National Forests Of
some infected localities. Since, how
ever. the coyotes breed In the foothills
and around the outskirts of the forests,
. moro comprehensive campaign is
called for.
The eradication Of coyotes in sparce-
" settled or rough country is said to
be IN exceedingly difficult task. Inas-
much % thsse animals are always a
source OF considerable losses to the
livestock industry Of the west, Con-
grsss last year provided q special fund
Of 5000 to be spent BY the biolog-
ical survey for the eradication of pre-
datory animals both In the National
forests and on the public domain, and
from this fund Q special allotment has
nov bsen made to provide for fighting
the rabies.
The disease first appeared In parts Of
eastern Oregon and Washington and
northern Idaho, In region surround.
Cd By natural barriers which tended tn
conilne the outbreak. Domestic AMI
mails and human beings we're bitten,
and Q good deal Of alarm was mani
tested BY residents Of the infected dis
tricts, many Of whom feared for the
safety Of their children on the roads to
and from school. The disease is now
reported - having extended into
northern Nevada and northern Cali
fornia, whence Il may easily DO carried
fer.
The forest service, the biological
survey, and the state board Of health
are working together TO meet the situ-
alton In California. Modoc and lasseu
counties have bssn put under quarsn-
tins b the state board, which has sp

TALK Of EXTRA SESSION
Proposal Has Come to Governor From Seve-
raj Sources

Proposal Has Come to Governor From Seve-
raj Sources
Pierre, 8. D., Dec. 24.-There is q
strong probability that an extra ses-
sion Of the state legislature may bs
held next month for the purpose Of
fixing an earlier primary date, thus
doing away with the necessity of q
special primary to select delegates to
the republican national convention. 1t
is claimed that the extra session, II
held to making this one adjustment,
would cost only about one-third as
nuch as the special primary.
Governor Byrne may take the ques-
ton up with the members Of the legis.
lsture soon after the holidays for the
purpose Of securing an expression from
them. He would not be disposed to
call the session unless the members
pledge themselves to adjust the pri-
mary date and adjourn without at
tempting to transact other business.
On accout of the busy season on the
farm extending all through April and
we'll up to the first of June. Il is
probable the Legislature will be oppos-
ed to moving the regular primary date
ahead more than one week-changing
from the first Tuesday in June to the
last Tuesday in May. The primary
date question was under discussion
last spring, when the present measure
was adopted. At that time Governor
Byrne urged date In May and II this
suggestion had been followed the pres
ent complication would have been
avoided.
