UNUSUAL FUNERAL
Jap's Head Sent by Express to Nampa
For Interment.

f. Kunimoto, Jap who committed
suicide over in Owyhee county about
two years ago, wanted to rest in a
Nampa cemetery having formerly
lived here The Jap society had the
body exhumed few days ago and
the head sent to Nampa by ex-
press Tuesday Y. Tsumura, the
head of the organization here received
the gruesome package, which was later
transferred from the pasteboard box to
a zinc case. After securing permit
from the city clerk, the head was bur-
led in Kohlerlawn cemetery in the
presence Of several members of the
Japanese colony.
The shipment of a part Of human
body in a pasteboard box by express
is clearly unlawful and it should not
have been received by the company on
sanitary grounds alone. 1t is reported
the contents of the package was not
suspected until it was delivered here.
The state board of health heard of
the matter and is conducting an inves-
tigation, in the meantime the caput OF
the defunct Jap rests in peace in the
Nampa cemetery, where Gabriel will
no doubt find it on the last day.-Nam-

Government Expert.

At the suggestion of the state live
stock, sanitary board, the governor will

purpose of protecting Twin Falls

ernment has been working for the
past eight months toward the eradica-
tion OF hog cholera in that county,

asked the board to secure some action
that would prevent shipping infected
animals into the country and undoing
the protective work already done. Un-
der the governors proclamation all
hogs consigned to that county must be
inspected and given clean bill of
health.
-, W. A. Sullivan, in charge of
the work the government is conduct
| ing in the Twin Falls section-in its
effort to eradicate hog cholera, ex-
planned the status of the work at
present and the need of proclama-
tion quarantining this section against
the rest Of the state.
He presented prepared proclama-
| ton, which would provide for the ex-
animation by the state veterinarian of
every hog which goes into the district,
the government had hinted that if
such request is not acceded to the
station at Twin Falls will be moved
to either Utah or California, which
are demanding recognition from the
federal government.
According to DR.. Sullivan, before
the government sent him to Twin
Falls, there was an annual loss OF
more than ten thousand hogs and il
has been reduced nearly 80 per cent
