Relaxation

Australia is said never to have had
a case of rabies. That country has
vigorously enforced quarantine
against the importation of dogs. Every
dog arriving in that country is held
In quarantine for considerable per-
iod. In this way Australia has been
kept free from the disease.
Rabies could be efrectually eradicat-
ed from well settled communities II
public sentiment would favor effcctu.
al control of dogs. The facts that
rabies, when once thoroughly estab.
lished In such communities persists,
Is due to opposition on the part of dog
owners and dog lovers to muzzling.
Contrary to the opinion held by
many, well fitting muzzle gives a
dog no more inconvenience than hal.
ter or bride gives a horse. MuzzIed
dogs are more peaceable and much
less apt to engage In fights than un.
muzzled ones. In a community where
rabies is prevalent the real dog lov.
ers should seek to protect their dogs
against infection, and 1t seems 10 me
that a muzzling ordinance generally
enforced should meet with the ap.
proval Of all owners aud lovers of
dogs.
In Nevada the situation is much
more difficult because of It's sparsely
settled condition and the presence OF
large number of coyotes and other
Wild animals. Rabies for that reason
Will be much more difficult 10 con.
troll than in thickly settled comniuni.
ties. However, a vigorous campaign
against wild animals with the control
OF dogs above outlined, should natur.
ally reduce the disease in question.
To summarize briefly the county
commissioners should pass ordinances
and enforce them vigorously for the
control OF dogs, and should encourage
In every way possible the destruction
Of coyotes.

HOW IS INFECTION
OF RABIES SPREAD

In most instances rabies is trans.
mitted to men and animals by the
bites of infected animals. Dogs, CO.
votes and animals which naturally
bite as means of offense or defense
are responsible for nearly all cases.
Any infected animal might transmit
the disease, but among domesticated
animals, those most likely to transmit
1t are the Carnivora. Infected horses
or mules might readily do so. There
is likelihood of cattle and sheep trans
mitting it, and know of no cases on
record where rabid men have done
so.
1t is the practice, however, in cases
Of rabies in man to guard effectually
against transmission, as there is no
reason why a rabid man may not
transmit the disease as we'll as infec-
ted animals. That probably accounts
largely for the reason that there are
few or no such instances on record.
The disease may also be transmitted
by the abrasion of the skin by the
claws of infected animals contaminat-
ed by their saliva. In fact any method
by which infection naturally may
gain access to the tissues of an in
dividual may be sufficient for the
transmission of the disease.
About 20@e of human being who are
bitten by rabid animals develop the
disease. This percentage Is much
lower than in animals. Doubtless the
clothing OF man protects him many
times. The disease Is always fatal
once 1t develops.
What Should County
Commissioners Do With Dogs2
In community in which rabies ex.
lists, all dogs should be placed under
efficient restraint. This restraint
should be such that II is impossible
for them to bite human being or 9th.
er animals, or in turn to be bitten by
infected animals In towns or cities.
The dog is the principal, in fact prac-
NhSoiI thc Ohlg IuSuluul ny WHICH,
rabies are transmitted. Restraint Of
dogs should consist Of confinement In
buildings sufficient to keep other dogs
from attacking those confined, or If
dogs are allowed to run at large, they
should be we'll muzgled or led upon
leash. The county commissioners
should order such confinement or muz-
zling and insist upon a rigid enforce
ment of such ordinances. If dogs are
found running at large without a muz-
zle they should be shot or captured
and confined. In the case of farmers,
sheep-herders, etc., visiting town &C.
companied by dogs, the same regula.
tions should apply. If these require
ments are complied with, the danger
from the spread of rabies in towns
will be practically eliminated. AS an
example OF the efficiency OF muzzllng
or keeping dogs on leash In we'll set.

Great Britain Is OF interest. 1 sub.

FIRE WRECKS THE
CIV. GR|SWOLD HOME

Last evening about six O'Clock fire
broke out In the second story of the
c. w. Griswold residence on Idaho
street, and before it was extinguished
the building was badly wrecked. Mr..
Griswold stated this morning, that the
loss sustained was between three
thousand and forty-five hundred dol
lars. Insurance will cover the greater
part of the loss.
The cause of the fire is not posi-
lively known, but il is believed to
have started from a short circuit in
the electric wires. About a month
ago new wire was cut in for an
electric iron In the laundry, and it is
believed that the short occurred in
this wire.
The family was seated at the din.
ner table when the fire started and
they knew nothing about it until in
formed by Wendell Porter. Mr. Girls
void rushed up stairs to find the hall.
way a mass of flames. He and his
sons and Joe Hennen tried to fight
1t with buckets of water, but it was
too far advanced, and they then turn.
ed their attention to saving the fur.
niture on the ground floor
Before the Griswold family knew of
the fire an alarm had been turned in
by two boys who saw the flames from
In front OF the Steele Garage.
The fire boys responded quickly
and in very few minutes had two
good streams Of water playing on the
building. An Independent reporter
was one of the early arrivals on the
scene, and at that time the building
seemed doomed to certain destruction.
The entire upper story was mass OF
flames and fire and smoke were belch.
ing from the windows. Inside It was
seething furnace.
Ready hands assisted in clearing
the lower part of furniture and 1t was
done with slight injury. Mrs. Girls.
void said this morning that 1t was
most remarkable that so little injury
was done. A large sideboard and n
china cupboard were taken out and in
the latter were many pieces Of cut
glass. Not one of these was upset
Only q few glasses on the sideboard
were broken. Two men took the

stairs all OF the clothing and personal

not be given them. But for their ef
