Who Is It That
Struts Sitting Down

Amateur bouts held the boards at
larson during the week, the initial
event being the result of a Carson
newspaperman turning hia editorial
column into a query department and
asking his readers if they could tell
what prominent State official was
able to strut sitting down. No
prize was offered for the solution,
but apparently the solution was
easy. as a few days later n of the
States appointive officers went to
the editor man and claimed he was
the answer to the query. The on
versation drifted into personalities
concerning previous records. Finally
the lie was passed with the result
that the answer was bowled over
by the journalist. Reno Gazette.

SHEEP QUARANTINE QUESTION
FROM THE OTHER SIDE
Wells Herald Implies That "Rab-
les" Is Not Real Reason for
Attempted Quarantine

In last weeks issue and in this is
sue the SENTINEL has given consider
rble space to the recent action taken
by White Pine and Nye County Off
Gals to prevent travelling bands of
sheep from entering the boundaries
of those counties. Last Saturdays
Wells Herald gives the other side of
the question, in reply to an article in
the Ely Recond. in the following
statement:
Aside from the above statement
the Ely paper, press dispatches have
been sent out from White Pine Coun-
ty seat to various papers on the Pa
cific coast, and some of the tales re-
cited in the dispatches are so over
drawn as to be ridiculous in the ex-
IRENE.
The newspaper reports and press
dispatches of this matter tend to
lead those who may not be familiar
with affairs into the conclusion that
conditions in relation to rabies among
the sheep that are being moved south
to Winter ranges are very alarming.
But this is not so; nothing is further
from the real truth.
The Herald has made exhaustive
inquiry among stockmen and has yet
to find the first person who claims
that he has ever seen a rabid sheep
among the many thousands that had
Summered in Elko County. AS far
as can be ascertained, the disease has
not attacked the sheep, and it ap-
pears that there is no such thing, so
far, among the sheep CT this county.
While this matter is being agitated,
a little of the truth should not be
amiss. The Herald opines that it is
not the fear of rabies so much among
the stockmen of White Pine as it is
that they will not have all the free
range to themselves this Winter. as
they have in the years past, that is
prompting them to raise all this howl
about rabies being prevalent among
the bands of sheep from this county
that are being driven south.
Now, let's have a few facts: For
a great many years it has been the
custom of those engaged in the sheep
industry in Elko County-the Nevada
Land & Cattle Company. the O'Neil
Brothers, Chauncey Griswold and
others, to drive their sheep south to
White Pine and Lincoln Counties for
Winter ranging, where the animals
were broused on the white sage.
This year, however. on account OF
the extreme drouth conditions that
prevailed, the usual ranges in the
northern part of White Pine are de-
void of all vegetation that would su-
stain life in a sheep, and the sheep
men have been forced by these cir
cumstances t o seek Winter
quarters. Realizing several months
ago that something must be done.
many of our sheepmen explored the
country and found in the northern
portion of Nye County a splendid
Winter-feed range. a section where
the grass and other vegetation is
prolific. and a section that is what is
known as "open" land, or land that
is pubic domain. owned by no one,
save the State. The locations hav-
ing been made. it was decided to
drive to those regions, fully n hum
dred miles further south than the
regular Winter ranges. Elko Coun-
