The French and British are still
holding inspections west of Miles
City, at South St. Paul and at points
south. It is not believed that they
will come into this country again I'm
til another spring. If the wal con-
tinues they will surely want more
North Dakota horses, and in this
event Dickinson will be made an in
| spection point again next spring.
John Krank brought in two loads
of wheat Saturday from the former
Mike Krank farm IL miles south,
which he and his brothers are farm
ing. The Krank boys had a yield of
wheat which ranged from 16 to 27
bushels to the acre. Their oats went
as bushels to the acre, as also did
their barley. They have 100 acres
plowed this fall and expect to raise a
much bigger crop the coming year.
Joe Froelich was in Dickinson the
first of the week from his farm Is
miles southwest of Dickinson to
market his 18th load of wheat. He
had 157 acres of wheat this year that
averaged a little over Fl bushels to
the acre. His oats averaged SIS BUSH
| els and from 2h sacks of seed he
raised 10 bushels of potatoes. Late
in September this farmer sowed. 40
acres of rye, but he thinks now that
it should have been sown early in the
month. Mr.. Froelich has 120 acres
of ground ready for the seed in the
spring.
Joe Essert came up missing the
first of the week and it developed
that he and another fellow had been
getting a few worthless checks
cashed around the city Saturday
night. Essert got out on No. 1, buy
ing a ticket as far as Medora and
paying cash on the train for the bal
ance of his trip to Glendive. So far
as known the officials have no trace
of him beyond Glendive. 1t will be
remembered that this same party de-
serted his wife and three children
! once before during the past year. He
was apprehended and brought back
and the court ordered that he pay SIS
per week toward the support of his
family. This he paid while in Dick
inson rather than go to jail.

this increased activity based on war orders as indicative of
a great wave of prosperity, yet it is contributing much IN
strengthening Our international financial position by piling
up credits abroad and fortifying this country, in a measure
at least, against the disturbing effects of the economic re-
adjustment that ultimately must be experienced as a result
of the enormous destruction of property and life abroad,
and the consequent credit contraction.
So long as the credit situation abroad does not become
so strained as to make it practcallyimpossible for our
manufacturers and bankers to accept the promises to pay
by the European nations, or the volume of credits does not
exceed our capital Indebtedness to Europe, this situation,
according to the view of most bankers and manufacturers,
may be considered satisfactory. This statement of course
is apart from the speculation in "war order stocks and
relates to the material things.
One noticeable feature of the correspondence received,
however, is the absence of anything that can be interpretcl
as a prediction of what is to come, should the war be pro-
logged, or what is to follow a restoration of peace. I'm the
absence OF precedent in financial history concerning such
a war as that going on in Europe, bankers and business
1nen seem to be bent on proceeding with caution, and
therein lies the strength of the American position. Yet
there is IN evidence much of the courage and spirit that has
manifested itself and dominated in other crises affecting
this country.

Rabies Menace in Nevada

The epidemic OF rabies among coyotes and dogs III
the northern part of the state has become so serious that
the situation has been called to the attention OF Governor
Bowie bv the state board of health and members OF the
state university faculty. The Tribune is in receipt OF a
communication from Governor Boyle in which he anudes
to the rabies epidemic as a very grave menace and urges
the necessity OF muzzling all dogs while the epidemic IS
prevalent throughout the state. In reference to this
menace to livestock and human life the state board OF
health saws: Rabies is an infectious disease readily
transmissable to man and practically all animals by the
bites o. injected animals, or by the abrasion OF the skin by
their claws. contaminated with their saliva, but the IN
vasion Of the infection may be insidious, since the licking

President Hendrick of the University OF Nevada, i'll a
communication addressed to the editors OF the state, says
eeyeral citizens have asked the university how the injection
of rabies is spread and what county commissioners should
do with dogs. These questions are answered briefly by
w. Z. Mack. veterinarian and baCterlologist OF the unlver-
s;tv, in the following statement:
I'm a community in which rabies exists. all dogs
should be placed under efficient restraint. This restraint
should be such that ii is impossible for them to bite human
beings or other animals, or in turn to be bitten by injected
animals in towns or cities. The dog is the principal, in
TACT practically the only medium by which rabies are trans
mitted. Restraint of dogs should consist of confinement
in buildings sufficient to keep other dogs from attacking

should be we'll muzzled or led upon leash. The county
commissioners should order such confinement or muzzling

Business Conditions

Fundamental conditions, in the main, in this country
are pronounced sound-or at least are regarded as salts
factory-by the correspondents of the Continental and
Commercial National bank of Chicago. With an agricul-
tural yield probably the greatest in history, and having q
valuation not far from $4,000 100000, with the domestic
credit situation improving, and with labor better employed
than it has been at any time since the outbreak of the
European war, there is sufficient basis for the hope FOR
better things. The one lettering factor apparently is the
uncertainty as to the length of the war and the immediate
and ultimate effect on the worlds business of the tremen-
dous destruction of capital and life in the European con-
flict.
There is a preponderance of evidence of the soundness
of fundamental conditions in our domestic situation, run
ming all through the $500 letters and advices received by
President George Nj. Reynolds, preparatory to the annual
resume of crop and business conditions. Collections are
far more satisfactory, taking business as a whole, than they
were a few months ago. The disposition on the part of
everyone seems to be to liquidate his Indebtedness and to
proceed on a more rational basis. This is the natural out
come of a long period of restricted activity, but it makes
for a fundamentally sounder position when the time is ripe
for a gradual expansion III business. activity.
Here and there are to be found bright spots in the
business world. The enormous volume of war orders, COW
ering munitions and supplies of various kinds required by
the beligerent nations of Europe, has stimulated activity

wear ago seemed practically impossible.
