COLONIZATION

There are, according to the gov
eminent survey, $4,000 acres OF
irrigable land in the Walker Rived
Basin. There are but 10000 acres
of this land under the often and
cultivation at the present time
Walker Lake, which is IS miles
long an 10 miles wide, and having
a depth OF 100 feet at its greatest
depth, is the receptical for waste
water of the Walker River Basin.
With sufficient water to irrigate
he vast area going to waste it
seems shame and neglect Of OPP
portunity on the part of some one
here, that there is not something
done to promote colonization
scheme to populate this land with
thrifty farmers. Cut this land up
into 80 acre farms, with farmers
raising 40 acres of alfalfa, 10 OF
which left to seed, the balance to
feed 10 cows, Is head of hogs, and
800 chickens. Figure the income,
to the man who bought this land
at $500 per acre. Think what this
would mean to this country, OPP
psrtunity is knocking at the door.
If Nevada is ever to advance ag-
riculturally, the next few years
will prove it.
There is no other part OF the
west in which good productive
land can be purchased as cheap
as in Nevada. The climatic con-
ditions are ideal for alfalfa and
potatoes especially, which will
make very profitable crops for
some years to come. A merchant
must display his wares and adver-
tise in order to sell them. In or
der to induce settlers to come to
Nevada, the people here must pre-
pare land for them and then
spread broadcast the wonderful
possibilities of soil and opportuni-
ty awainting any one who will
come and settle in this land Of
plenty.

HOW ABOUT THIS

We are in receipt of a letter
from the Reno Commercial Club
asking us to furnish the names Of
the officers of the Yerington
Commercial Club, as it is the de-
sire of the Reno organization to
cooperate with commercial bodies
throughout the State in general
publicity campaign. This letter
contends, and rightly too, that by
combined effort more efficient re-
suits can be accomplished. Also
it will cost the citizens less money
to adequately advertise the excel
lent opportunitis that are within
the confines of this common
wealth. 1t is further stated that
in order to accomplish the largest
measure of success, there must be
the fullest coordination in
thought and cooperation of pur-
pose. The Times is in quandry
Here is town of nearly thous-
and population, a surrounding
country of wonderful resources,
and no commercial club or argani'
zation OF any character for the
furtherance Of the best interests oil
this commonwealth.
Do you want a reply sent to this
live body of Nevada boosters, tell
ing them that this section of the
State is dead, and all it needs is a
burial? Where is your pride

Are YOU all devoid of such? The

names of several citizens of spirit
and enterprise. Unless. some one
shows more interest in this town
and country, we will be unable to
furnish the desired information.
Somebody wake up. Forget that
all-absorbing game Of solo and
rally to the defense Of the integri-
ty of this commonwealth.

ANIMAL DISEASE CONTROL
(By DR.. Mack

While every one knows that
many of the infectious diseases
are communicable from one in
dividual to another, the real reas-
on for such communicability IS
not so generally understood. That
is doubtless due to the fact that
the organisms which cause those
diseases are too small to be viible
by ordinary methods of observa-
ton, thus escaping notice except
by we'll equipped observers.
An Infectious disease is one
caused by the entrance of micro
organisms, that is living plant Oh
animal organisms so small that
the higher powers OF the micro
scope are necessary for their OBJ
servation, into the tissues of a
susceptible individual, and by
their increase in numbers and life
processes there producing 'phe-
nomena detrimental to the health
we'll being or life of the invaded
individual. OF the numerous
forms of microscopic life, but few
species are capable of surviving
in an environment of living ami
NAL tissue. Those which do thus
survive and thrive there we know
as parasitic, also designating them
as pathogenic, that is capable of
producing disease. Such condi-
ton is as truly parasitic as is one
caused by organisms large enough
to be readily seen, such as lice,
ticks or worms.
! Where an infectious disease is
communicated from one individ-
ual to another, what actually oc-
ours is the transfer of the disease
producing heterogeneous from
the sick to the well Individual.
The homely old-time designation
Catching" applied to such condi-
|tions conveys the clearest idea of
what. actually occurs. Some OF
this class Of heterogeneous can
survive either within or without
the animal body; others can live
and reproduce themselves only in
animal tissues. 1t is apparent
that in order to understand the
infectious diseases and be able to
control them a knowledge of the
life history of the injecting micro
organisms is essential, constitute
ing the reason for extensive bac-
THEOLOGICAL studies.

RABIES
m (
mi

The disease called rabies is AMI
,lahas been for some time prevalent
hover the greater part of this State.
,sThe newspapers have continually
advocated that action be taken in
order to stamp out this disease.
Editorially and otherwise the peo-
pie have been told the horrors OF
this disease and what it means to
them financially should it appear
among their cattle. County Com
missioners and City Councils have
taken steps in various counties
|, which have become infected, and
are doing much to control the dis
Please. Governor Boyle has spent
considerable study Of the subject
Nand covered the State organizing
rabies commissions, and straining
5 every effort to wake the people to
realization of the danger fac
Ding them.
"a Yet no one will take action un.
Mess compelled by law. Will it
always be necessary for people to
be compelled by law to protect
/. themselves from diseases? If you
hswere on a steamer in mid-ocean
eand it sprang leak and was sink
raing, the law Of preservation would
cause you to act for yourself. The
eilaw of man in its more confined
sense is a rule of human action,
Wand is and has been set forth by
ldthe strong to protect the weak,
bf Yet, should it really be necessary
a in this enlightened age to compel
!, people to protect themselves? If
"a burglar entered your home and
a you possessed a revolver you
\, would not hesitate to shoot him
|, to protect your valuables. Is
the life of your wife and children
of less value than your personal
], belongings? If the small pox were
sin your vicinity you would stay
shy Of it. Why do you hesitate to
muzzle your dogs in order to pro-
lttect yourselves against a disease
ethat is every bit as bad if not
worse than small pox? Is it be-
= cause you consider the muzzling
" of a dog an inhumane action
