AND w. N. McGILL TO ATTEND
RABIES DIFFERENTIATION CON-
FERENCE AT WINNEMUCCA.

board OF county commissioners held
on Wednesday, the most important
matter under consideration was the
appointent of representatives from
between county commissioners, state
and federal officers which will be
held at Winnemucca on Tuesday next
for the purpose of organizing a CO.
operative plan for exterminating the
rabies in Nevada. The appointment
of such representative was request
ed by Governor Emmett ID. Boyle in a
telegram to County Clerk Oldfield. in
which the governor states that the
organization OF such plan for the
determination of rabies in this state
Is a practical necessity.
Chairman John Weber. District
Attorney Anthony Zurich and Mr.. w.
N. McGill we're appointed to repre-
sent this county and these gentlemen
will leave for Winnemucca tomorrow
morning. BY casual glance at the
names of those selected 1t will i'm
mediately be seen that White Pine
county will be ably represented at
this important conference. II seems
reasonable to assume that represen-
tatiyes of other counties cannot fail
to be awake to the menace to human
life, as we'll as to one of the most
important industries in this state by
this outbreak OF rabies. and with the
aid of state and federal authorities
no doubt plan will be worked out
at the Winnemucca conference which
will prove effective. Had the officials
In other states been as watehful and
as prompt to act for the protection
of their citizens as we're the officials
of White Pine county. perhaps the
spread of this dreaded disease would
have been checked some months ago.
At the commissioners meeting a
petition signed by about thirty rep
resentatiye citizens of Cherry Greek
was received and considered. In
this the board of commissioners
was petitioned to take suitable mea-
sures to have all dogs In the vicinity
OF Cherry Creek mu7zled. and TO
authorize some one to kill all dogs
found without having n muzzle on.
Commissioner ID. c. Mcdonald. who
is confined to his room by serious
Illness, was unable to attend the
meeting. but II was the opinion of
commissioners Weber and North that
action on the petition had better
be deferred to await the result of
the conference at Winnemucca
where IT is believed a plan will be
worked out to cover the entire state
and take every precaution 70 prevent
The spread of the disease.
