auspices of the church, which will
share in the proceeds of the enter

RECORD STORMS IN
WESTERN NEVADA

The present storm promises to ex.
ceed all storm recorus or the State
that are in the possession of the wea.
ther bureau, says the Sparks Tribune.
Already the snow fall Of today is near
the storm record and this article is
written at IL o'clock In the morning
and the storm did not commence until
last night at 1 o'clock. This morning
the record measurement on the Reno
postoffice lawn showed 26 inches of
snow. Deducting the amount that had
previously fallen. this leaves Is inches
Of fresh snow that has fallen since 1
a. M, period Of ten hours.
The record for the greatest fall for
"a hours was made in the big storm Of
1912, when there were 1877 inches of
snow fell. This storm continued for
8 days and the total snowfall for the
entire storm was 39.7 inches. The
present fall is at the rate of an inch
and half of snow an hour, SO that
there is every probability that this
storm will be a record breaker in more
ways than one.

INTERESTING FACTS
ON RABIES

e. X. Sans. biological assistant, To-.
Gated at Winnemucca, has given out
the following interesting facts on the
rabies menace:
After the first appearance of the
disease in humans treatment is de.
clared to be useless. A wound made
by an infected animal should be eau
terized or even extirpated at once.
The cauterizing agents recommended
by the federal officials are fuming
nitric acid, hot iron or 10 per cent
solution of zinc chloride.
Dogs Source of Danger.
Il consider dogs greater menace
to humans and to stock than coyotes.
The dog !s the sc between and Is less
suspected, being domesticated. Unless
we can control the dog We will have
a long siege in eradicating the rabies.
with regard to the spread OF ra-
bies, 1t is supposed that the present

March 81, 1912, of the forty.one
counties of Califarnia south of lati.
tude 80 north, twenty-three had proven
rabies infection. Three years after its
inception in southern California It had
spread up through the San Joaquin
Sacramento drainage to northern Cali
fornia. About three years ago 1t made
its first appearance in Oregon in Wal.
Iowa county. Men were sent out by
the forest service, but not enough, and
the disease made its appearance fifty
or sixty miles to the southwest, and
from there spread rapidly over the
state. This carried 1t to Lake Harney,
Clear and Malheur counties.
"Then the disease spread rapidly
southwark through a number of chan.
nels through Jordan valley over the
Owyhee drainage to northern Nevada.
BY way of the head waters of the
Owyhee the infection crossed over the
north fork Of the Humboldt river and
