ALFALFA Will Be KING
At NEVADA STATE FAIR

At meeting of the State Agricul-
tural society's local executive commit
tee, held last Thursday night many
Important matters were decided. This
committee who, in behalf of the state
society, will have practically complete
charge of the state fair at Fallon, are
as follows: Jos Jarvis, Geo. f. Sher-
ran and C. l.. Noble, the latter hav-
ing been appointed to act in place of
Mr.. Headley, who is unable to devote
the time necessary.
The most important matter decided
finally was the construction of an al
falfa palace, as near Clark's pavilion
as possible, as the pavilion will not
hold all exhibits this year.
This building will be 60x60 feet and
about 90 feet nigh on all sides, with Il
dome reaching to the height Of about
3J feet above the ground. The hnild-
ing will be made completely of alfalfa
on substantial supports and will be the
real feature of the State Fair.
1t was further decided by the com
mittee to have gorgeous historical
alfalfa parade. this to be made up IF
historical floats showing the advance
ment of Fallon and Churchill county
the present. Hazen. Fernley, Lovelock
and other towns will he invited to en-
ter floats in this parade, as will the va
rious fraternal societiets of Fallon,
business men and the chamber of com
merce. Governor Boyle, with his staff.
will be asked to lead the parade, which
will be concluded with the local com
mittee s queen float.
The election of the king and queen
mas also been decided upon. The alfalfa
king (the most popular man in Fallol
or Churchill county, and his dairy
queen (the most popular lady here).
will open the fair. 1t is planned tn 1t
they, with Governor Boyle, will open
the alfalfa palace, where they will rule
during state fair week as the supreme
scvereigns of Churchill county. they
leading and opening every function of
the week. A grand bali in their honor
will be given on the opening night.
The executive committee in settling
these three features at this time has
done so in order that arrangements
can be made with the leading moving
picture people of the country to come
here and take pictures of our state fair
and alfalfa celebration for their NOV
ing picture weeklies. This will give
Fsllon and Churchill county a national
advertisement.
The committee ordered 1850 litho-
graphs to be put up i'll the principal
places of business throughout the state
advertising the state fair.
A sub-eomm' ttee to carry out the
committee s alfalfa plans was appoint

uted free to visitors, telling them of
each event of each day. They will also
take charge of the merchants subscrip-
ton list, as it is not provided in the
lsw for expenses to exploit any special
county. Thus subscription is to pay for

STATE HEALTH BOARD
GOING AFTER RABID COYOTES

The prevalence of hydrophobia in
the northern section of Nevada among
coyotes has become so serious, the
health officials of the state say, that
steps must be taken by both state ami
local authorities to arrest the spread
OF rabies, lest 1T extend into the cen
ttrs of population. Since the first Of
June, Is cases where persons have been
attacked and bitten by rabid coyotes
and dogs have been reported to the
state hygienic laboratory, all these pa
tients having been sent to Reno for
| treatment In addition, several other
cases are known where patients were
treated in their own communities or
were sent out of the state to be cared
for
The state board of health is now con-
sidering safeguards. Several weeks ago
II issued an order advising the muz-
zling of all dogs in the sections where
rabies are known to be prevalent. The
order was merely advisory, but it has
been enforced by the local authorities
in several places. Serious attention has
not been paid to it by ranchers and
s-ockmen. however. although the state
health officials believe it is the most
effective means of preventing the ex-
tension of rabies to domesticated ami
mails
All the eases brought to Reno have
been assigned TO the state hygeienic

DIR. W. Fl. Hood. president of the
state board of health, took a similar
view of the situation. To prevent
greater risk to human life. he said. all
dogs should be muzzled, as dogs are
more liable to attack by coyotes than
persons.
Several months ago DR.. w. p. Mack,
director of the state hygienic labora-
tory and state quarantine officer. took
the matter up with the United States
bureau of biological survey and has re-
ceived assurances of government aid in
exterminating coyotes.

c,als will be called to meet with the
state board of health and canvass the

SEARCH FOR TIN IN AMERICA

In view of the interest in an ade-
quate tin supply for the United States
and the discussion of the smelling OF
Bolivian ore on the Atlantic seaboard,
ard possibly on Puget Sound, the publi-
cation by the United States Geological
Survey of special bulletin on tin
mining in Alaska is opportune. 1t is
noteworthy, too, that specimens of
cam tin We're collected by Survey
geologists in Alaska in 1900, before
this was known to occur in the terri
tory. Soon after that time prospecting
for stream tin became active, and two
years late a commercial production OF
TN ore was made.
The Survey was also closely identi-
fed with the finding of lode deposits
of tin. In 1908 two prospeetors brought
to Survey geologists in Alaska some
specimens of float from Lost River
which they thought might be tin ore.
All the specimens but one were worth
less. From this one the geologists OBJ
tanned tin by smelling it in a teacup
in their eookstove, after which both
the geologists and the prospectors went
TO Lost River and discovered vein IF
lode tin This lode ON Lost River has

the Alaska tin ore has been reduced
az Seattle, Wash, within the last two
years.
The report Just issued presents a re-
view of other work by the Geological
Survey and the re-examination of the
more omportant tin deposits by Geolo-
gist Henry NJ. Eakin.
The total tin production for the pc
riod 1902-19l4 amounted to SEQ tons Of
metallic tin, valued at $3s0,000. The
