Large Sum Appropriated

The appropriation by congress in thu

To its existing organization. These men
are to serve in Oregon, Nevada. Califor-

the Nevada rabies commission has signi-
fled its intention of expending large
sum of money under recommendations
made by the biological survey and. it is

Ewise. stockmen and ranch owners are
tco-operati4g by furnishing horses and
Eforage free OF charge. The Importance
Eof preventing the spread Of the disease
is fully realized
\ The coyote has always been pest to
Estockmen. but with the advent of rabies
Eit has become serious danger to per-
sons as well as to stock. IN many sec
tions Of Oregon. Idaho, California and
Nevada, parents are afraid to send their
Fchildren to school unless they are well
guarded, and there is always danger that
domestic dogs will be bitten by the mad
animals and spread the disease to the
families of their owners, In Oregon and
Neyada over one hundred persons have
received the Pasteqr treatment for rabies
within the past three years and stocE
interests have suffered severely. In on'

tyearold beef steers.
I Although this is regarded az the mos
fserious. it is not the first outbreak of ra

In 1911 the disease made its appearance
in Wallowa county, Ore, and sprea
southwark. This infestation still con
tinues. In the spring of 1915 the diseas
made its frst appearances in norther
