HORSE FALLS DOWN 100 FEET
He Master Lets Him Slide Over
Mountain snowdrifts With q
Rope.

Truckee. Cal.-Hank Weber, with
his snowshoe horse, arrived at Truckee
the other day after hair-raising trip
down the mountainside.
After leaving the Southern Pacific
snowsheds at the summit. the way to
the bottom Of the mountain was almost
straight up and down. with many
drifts Of snow nearly fifty feet deep.
The only way over some of the
drifts was to tie Q rope on the horn
Of the saddle and let the horse slide
down. The horse slipped on one Of
the drifts and fell to the bottom, al
most hundred feet below, luckily e.
Gaping injury.

Curious children first discovered the

the mouth Of the cave. and found him
sleeping on leaves and dried vegeta-
ton. His fire smoldered near the en-.
trance to the cave and near at hand
were some primitive cooking utensils,
fashioned out of stone.
During the day he carries load after

struction have not been made public,
1t is understood that the new craft
will be equipped with six 12-cylinder
motors of 300 horsepower each, giving
a total power to the airship of 1900
horsepower.
This power, 1t is believed. will be
easily capable of sending the America
through the air at a speed of 100 miles

In addition to attaining the highest
speed yet reached by any large air

its large size to carry without the

in part is as follows:

ease.
WATcHfUlNEss NOT ADATED
State and Federal Governments
Brought to Better Understanding
Which Will Insure Efficient
Cooperation In Future.

Washington. D. C.-The long Tight
against the foot-and-mouth disease IL
over. The secretary of agriculture
has issued an order removing all foot
and-mouth guarantees and restric-
lions against the shipment and move
ment of live stock. The order speci-
tically removes the quarantine from q
small territory in Christian county.
ILL.,, the last area which was under
suspicion. Along with the removal Of
this local quarantine. the various fed
eral orders restricting shipment of cat
tie are rescinded. so that dealers can
now ship their cattle as before the first
quarantine was imposed.
Upon notification that the United
States is free from the disease, all
foreign governments which have
placed embargoes on American cattle
are expected to remove these en-
bargoes. 80 that cattle raisers will then
be able to resume shipments to these
foreign countries.
The magnitude of the work Of eradi.
cation and control carried on by farm
ers, shippers. and the state and federal
governments is shown by the fact that
before being controlled, the disease had
gained temporary footing in 20 states
and the District of Columbia. The
disease appeared and was controlled
in 269 different counties.
The importance to the stock-raising
industry Of eradicating foot-and-mouth
disease may be Judged from the re-
suits of this plague in Denmark, where
the disease appeared at about the
same time. that 1t broke out in the
United States. The area Of Denmark
is approximately equal to that Of the
three England states-Massachusetts,
Connecticut and Rhode Island. It is.
however. a great dairying country.
and 1t has been estimated that the
losses in milk in one year caused by
the foot-and-mouth disease have
amounted to approximately one-third
of the total cost of eradicating the
pestilence in % states of this country.
The Danish authorities were unable to
carry out their former policy Of slaugh-
ter, and were compelled to resort to
such measures of control as could be
established by guarantees and other
restrictions.
As q result Of better understanding
between the state and national govern
ments, representatives Of the depart
ment believe that many of the OBJ
stacles which confronted the authori-
ties in the past outbreak, would not
be encountered in dealing with any
future occurrence of the disease. The
veterinarians. however, will not abate
their watchfulness for some time. Ex-
animation of animals and animal prod
ucts offered for import will continue
to be unusually strict. The depart
ment. moreover. particularly urges all
farmers and cattle handlers to notify
their state veterinarians and the de-
partment of any suspicious cases Of
sore mouth combined with lameness
in their animals. Those in charge of
the eradication work are confident that
