Rabies Danger.
Sheep and Cattle near Oak.
ley Affected.

Forest Supervisor Campbell
reports that Rabies or hvdroph
obia IS appearing among cattle
and sheep to an alarming extent.
Four different bands of sheep
grazing on the mountains west
OF Oakley and five head of cattle
are known to have the dread
disease.
The disease is transmitted
through the saliva. meat or milk
OF infected animals and for this
reason there is great danger that
rabies may become an epidemic
ana endanger lives and property
over large scope OF country.
Mr. Campbell has notified the
Governors Office at Boise, and
was assured that n officer from
the State Veterinarian's Office
would be seut at once to make
an investigation.
In the meantime all of our peo-
pie should be on their guard and
40 all III their power to help
stamp out this dreaded disease.
Mr.. Campbell has also made a
request to the District Forester.
at Ogden, Utah. that Doctor
Murray of the US. Bureau of
Animal Industry be requested to
come TO Oakley at once and give
his valuable assistance IN the

COLON|ALS HOLD
GAINS ALONG LINE
AUSTRALIANS HAVE ADVANTAGE
IN DESPERATE ENCOUNTER
WITH GERMANS.
Caught Between Two Forces, Advanc.
ing Teutons Are Compelled to Sur
render--Another Wave of German
Resistance on Russian Front.

London.--Under a merciless concen-
fration of shell fire the Australians
held on to their gains Sunday after
their advance Saturday night on a
front of two miles. The Germans al
ready had delivered three powerful
counter-attacks to retake the lost
ground and all failed.
In one of the counter-attacks the
Germans came forward holding up
guns had placed curtains of shell fire
through which it was impossible for
them to retreat while the Australians
machine guns and rifles, moving
them down, made it hopeless to con
dinue the charge. 1t was death which
ever way they moved--death If they
stood still or laid down in the bullet
swept space and they surrendered
rather than continue their vain ef-
fort
Their last previous attack having
been by the right flank, the British re-
newed the offensive by the left flank
after a week of bombing and sapping
Here the task fell to the Australians,
who added another victory to their
brilliant record in the taking of Po-
zieres. In grilling heat, under a blaz-
Ing sun, they had been working in
continual shell fire, digging their new
trenches in the open beyond Pozieres

attacks.
Since the loss of Brody by the Aus
drians and the successful operations
of the Russians against the Germans,
which resulted in their gaining the
whole of the line along the Stokhod
and the capture of several fortified viii
lagos considerably west of this river
on the direct route to Kovel, the sit
uation on the Russian General Brus-
siloff's front has remained virtually
unaltered
The Russians by no means have lost
control of the initiative, but another
wave of most energetic German re-
sistance has set in and the newly or
ganized German army, which is COM
posed of all available reserves and
fresh recruits, has undertaken the
task of changing it's tactics from pas
sive resistance to most active
counter-offensive. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's personal direction of the
operations in this field is quite ap-
parent, but it is not thought possible
by the Russian observers that he can
more than temporarily check the ad-
vance of the Russian forces upon
Kovel
