1t is reported that the little son
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Williams

Mrs. J. T. Garrett was operat-
ed upon again this week to cor

Owing to the films not arriving

of the state legislature makes
this possible provided it goes
through and becomes a law.
1t is further stated that the o.
w. r. & NJ. and the Short Line
will be merged with the Union
Pacific and that j. d. Farrell will
lie president of this entire sys-
tom. The arrangements for such
a change is no doubt responsible
for the delay in issuing any state
ment as 70 further extension of
the line west from Riverside into
this Valley. When these things
are all adjusted it is expected an
annourcen ent will be made as to
the amount provided for this eX-
tension.
With such an arrangement it
will he made as to the early
completion OF the line through
his section to a connection with
the west and when it is all one
system and no competing lines it
will be advantageous to have a
water grade and a more direct
line through from eastern points
to the coast and avoid the heavy
grades in the Blue mountains to
the north.
People who are familiar with
conditions state it is one of the
best moves ever made by the
railroad people to hasten the
completion of the line through
this territory.

from all over the Valley the
reports come that the rabbits are
becoming quite scarce and far
mers are correspondingly happy.
1t is not thought many have been
destroyed since the bounty went
into effect as the scalps do not
sh,w Mt the court house, but
with so many hunting and trap
ping them the rabbits have evil
denly gone back in the hills
,n.re they are not molested and
may come down later when the
crops begin to grow and offer
tempting dinners. However, it
is encouraging to find them dis
appearing and should they return
it is possible they will not be in
such number as will be any
material pest.

Several have reported finding
dead coyotes around over the
country and it is quite evident the
rabies have caused many to dia,
during this and next month many
more may die from the same
cause. However, DIR. White, of
the state health board. in an ad-
dress to the stockmen in Prime
vile last week states it is his
opinion that the condition will
be more critical during the next
( onths than the world has
ever witnessed in connection with
rdnie md that things will be
worse yet before it improves.
Prrh DR.. White has not studi-
ed the situation as it exists in
this section during this particular
time when the coyotes are banded
together and where they are sure
to become infected more than at
any other time of year. Stock
men consider it best to get their
herds on the range and scattered
out early as they considered less
danger in that way than when
stock re kept together.

The warm rains of the week
have made the snow disappear
rapidly and caused the roads to
get bad but as yet the ice in the
river is intact and it is not ex-
pected to cause a flood at this
time unless it continues to rain
for some time. Should this be
the breakup the farmer is going
to have an early season and will

thas peace between the major leagues
and their association is only the begin.

that the plans include reaching re-

The injection of new interests and

series of involved financial transactions
engineered at the behcst of Robbins. foi

sold to Governor Hill.
The testimony was given by Samuel

Hemingway examined the books of the
