1gorotte village a Special Feature

Captain Callahan, who IS employed
hv Mr.. Barnes, has had some difficulty
in getting together a and of the strange
Igorrotte wild men for his circus. Cap
tain Callahan left the Philippine
Islands with a band of these missing
link creatures last January; but of
the coast of Japan the ship on which
they were sailing went on the rocks,
and many of the queer people were
lost, neeessitating a return to the
Islands to get another band. These
were transported safely, reaching the
show at Oakland April II.
In their native state, wearing little
or no clothing, the men of this tribe
of human animals have as their prin-
cipal occupation head hunting, with
sack made of straw material large
enough to hold three heads, and armed
with crude shields and spears.
Their diet consists of dog-meat and
tropical fruits. Mr.. Barnes is some
what distressed at times in getting the
dogs for these strange people and they
have not as, yet learned to relish the
salty food of their civilized brothers.
The men of this tribe are great wrest-
lers, and put on some very good exhl-
bitions at the circus. 1t is strange
sight to see these people, and one that
should not be missed.
A few minutes study of these peo-
pie will give you an opportunity to
judge whether the Philippines are
ready for self government or not.

IMPORTANT WATER SUITS
FILED IN DISTRI(T COURT

aaginst w. NJ. Kearney, as state engi-
neer, and Omer V. Cole.
In the first complaint plaintiff al

since 1879, of certain lands situated
in sections 90, 81, % and 81, t. 20 N,
r. 33 f., Humboldt county, Nevada
that during all this time said lands
have been irrigated by waters flowing
from Wright 5 creek, Little Rocky or
Pole creek, East Horse creek and Sac
ramento creek; that contrary to Law,
said w. M. Kearney, state engineer,
after a hearing recently held in Love
lock, cancelled one of plaintiffs per-
mits for the use of the waters men
toned and awarded same to said Omer
V. Cole.
Wherefore, plaintiff prays for tenn
porary injunction restraining said de-
fendant Cole from using said waters,
and that upon a hearing of the case,

permanent, and that said w. M. Kear-
ney, state engineer, be directed to re-
store his permit.

CONTROL OF FLIES.

Warm weather has brought the US
ual horde of flies. This year there is
an unusual interest in their destruc-
ton, because of a strong suspicion
that they convey the germs of infan-
tile paralysis. Everyone is urged to
take energetic measures to prevent
the breeding of flies. The entomo-
logical department of the New Jersey
Agricultural Experiment Station has
been investigating the subject of fly
control and gives the following rec
concentrations.
Since horse manure, garbage and
many other kinds of animal and vege-
table refuse are sought as breeding
places, it is important to remove
these substances or render them i'm
mune to breeding. In towns, the
horse manur and garbage should be
carried to a safe distance Several
miles from the town. at least twice a
week. The garbage should be de-
stroyed in an incinerator or treated
with borax or chloride of lime; the
manure may be spread upon fields.
Horse stalls are prolific breeders if
not provided with cement floors and
cleaned often. Manure pits should be
emptied twice a week. On the farm,
it is advisable to spread each days
output of on the fields or in
the orchard. This not only guards
against fly breeding but also returns
to the soil more of the fertilizing con-
stituents than any other method. If
manure must be composted during the
fly breeding season, it should be
treated with a larvicide such as helle-
bore, at the rate of one-half pound of
the powder to 10 gallons of water.
Such mineral larvicides as boraX and
iron sulfate cannot be recommended
for this purpose because of their pos
sible injurious effects upon the crops.
Earthen privy vaults should be treat
ed with chloride of lime at least once
a week. All dwellings should be pro-
tected with screens
