STAMP OUT RABIES
War On Coyotes Is Declared and Gov,
ernment Force Arrives In Reno
To Start Work

| Through the efforts OF DR.. Hendrick:
of the University of Nevada the Uni
| ted States government has entered up
on the work of helping to extermipate
the coyotes that have become men
ace through the northern part of The
state. The following Is taken from
| last evenings Reno Gazette:
Under the direction of f. R. Sans
( predatory animal inspector of the
| United States bureau of biological
survey, corps of competent men will
be put in the field in the northern,
counties OF Nevada as soon as feasible
TO hunt and trap coyotes.
The move will be in line with the
state and federal plan TO eradicate IA.
bies by wiping out coyotes. Sans ar.
rived in Reno this morning, and for the
| next few days will make his headquar.
ters at the Office of DR.. w. b. Mack,
where lie may be found tomorrow and
| Thursday from 10 IL o'clock
The state and federal governments
will carry OF the operations In the
northern counties through the vetcrin.
airy department of the university.
The situation in the northern coun.
ties, according 10 DR.. Mack. is getting
quite serious. The heads of the ami
mails taken will be examined at the
veterinary department, and eXamina-
tions also will be made of heads sub.
mitted by other persons who believe
animals they kill were suffering from
rabies.
"A coyote head was sent from Ger
ZACH this week, for examination for
rabies. The test, according TO DR..
Mack, showed that the animal had ra-
bes when killed. 1t is the first in
stance of a rabid coyote being killed
in Washoe county.
"a patient was received this week
from the Black-Rock desert, and is be-
ing given the Pasteur treatment. He
was bitten by rabid animal while
working on a cattle range in Humboldt
county. DR.. Mack says the veterinary
department has averaged one head a
day for the last nine days, and in all
but two cases the tests indicated the
presence of rabies"

FOUND AN EGG
WITHIN AN EGG

Verril Black, Of the Deeth Mercan.
tile Co., spent last night in Elko. He
reports his section enjoying peace and
prosperity.
Recently we published an item to
the effect that one of Mr.. Blacks
hens had laid an abnormal egg. It
measured nine inches in its longer
circumference and seven and quar-.
ter inches around the smaller way.
Mr.. Black broke open the shell of
this egg several days ago and to his
surprise found a normal egg within,
also an additional yolk and quantity
OF white matter.
Mr.. Black says that he recently sold
ten tons of alfalfa hay to residents of
Charleston, and 1t Is being shipped by
parcel post. This hay had to be es.
pecially bailed to meet the postoffice
requirements. The original cost was
ten dollars per ton, and the bailing
cost the same amount. The postal
rate from Deeth to Charleston is S1.85
per hundred, 80 It will cost the gov.
ernment $37 per ton to deliver 1t. The
combined cost to the purchasers and
the government will make It decided.
ly expensive. Delivered at It's final
destination It will cost approximate
ly three cents per pound.
Besides the hay about four hun.
dred sacks Of grain are being ship.

The hill at Prospect where consid-
cradle road work has been done dur
ing the past few weeks, was closed to
automobiles this week. Heretofore
cars have been allowed to go up over
the hill, says this weeks bulletin of
the Bangor Automobile club. and this
has interfered with the workmen.
The detour via Winterport, Munroe
and the West Side Of Swan lake is a
good road through picturesque Sec
ton.
The information in the last bulletin
OF the club is varied and is of value to
the motorist. Other items which will
interest tourists and local AUTOMOBILE
lists are:
To Bucksport: The river road to
Bucksport which has been undergoing
repairs at various points is now in
good condition. The Robinson House
and The Wardwell both make a spec
ialty Of meals for auto parties. Ex-
cept for a sandy stretch in Penobscot,
the road to Castine is all right. From
Castine to Bluehill and thence back to
Bucksport gives a fine drive over roads
for the most part good.
In Searsport and Stockton: Road
work is going on in these towns which
means rough travelling.
On the Air Line" Travel following
the heavy rains has made a bad
stretch on the Air Line just beyond
Hardwood Hill. The defect can be
obviated with a little work and the
Bangor Auto club has called the atten-
ton of the state highway commission
to the matter.
To Piscataquis: Reports are that
the road via Kenduskeag, East Cor
NTH and Charleston into Piscataquis
county is In good condition.
Hermon road smoother: Gravel
has been psaced on the rough stretch
in the road through Hermon which
much improves the highway. The
Fuller road detour into Carmel il be-
ing used considerably.
The Bar Harbor detour: The Bar
Harbor detour. via Clifton an Otis.

that any further legislation to restrict
emigration will be attempted. 1t Is OBJ
vious, however, that from natural causes
the number of emigrants will materially
decrease. 1t is impossible for me to
give any exact estimate as to how great
this decrease will be-whether one-fourth
or one-third of the $4,000 men who leave
Russia annually for America. If the war
continues for a long time it may we'll be
that Russia will have to take some
means of keeping her laborers at home.
especially since the first consideration
after the war will be the development of
Russian industry. In that case a sufh-
cient number of men will be retained In
Russia to meet the demands Of business
and if there is a surplus. they will be
allowed to leave the country as formerly.
if they choose to do so.
Russia, to be sure. has a tremendous
population but at the same time she has
great territory to develop and the
number of men which will be available
for this work is being diminished not
only in battle but through disease and
the various ills of war which are visited
upon the non-combatant population.
Russia is too busy with the problems
of the present to have much time for
speculation about future labor condi-
tons or to have definitely formulated
any projects for reconstruction or any
of the numerous issues which will arise
in the future"
