reka County and Adjacent Sec
tons Cause Stringent Meas
ures to be Taken To Prevent
Its Spread

~SNs VHS iiAoAiS VI JtlC WSch
when it was thought that the infu-
enza situation in Eureka County was
we'll under control, and the people
were beginning to assemble and
meet together, apparently paying
little heed to the instructions of the
County Health officer forbidding pub
JIG gatherings as a precaution against
the spread of the disease, it was de-
cided to allow the schools to reopen
and to remove the restrictions re-
garding the meeting together of peo-
pie in public places. The Eureka
Theatre had also been notified that
it could reopen and a picture show
and dance had been arranged for
Friday evening.
Thursday afternoon and evening
reports we're received in Eureka that
the disease was again spreading in
an alarming way in the north and
western portions of Eureka County.
and in Huntington and Mound VAL
legs in Elko County, adjacent to Eu-
reka County, where a number Of pa
tients had been violently attacked and
several deaths had occurred. The
same afternoon a message was re-
ceived here stating that Miss Char
lotte Laird, teacher Of the school at
Maurice Isaac's, was seriously i'll and
summoning a physician. Her moth
err, Mrs. Abram Laird, with DR.. Bren-
men, her son Albert and son-in-law
Thomas Clifford. Immediately left in
an auto for the Isaac ranch, about IS
miles northwest of Eureka.
In view of these conditions the
County Council of Defense took
steps that evening toward again
guarding against the disease and re-
quested that the trustees again close
the schools. The County Health Of
fcer was asked by the Council. to
notify the saloons to close their
places of business by Friday noon.
rhe schools and saloons we're closed
as ordered. and the moving picture
show and dance called off.
The cooperation of the people is
urgently requested in all measures
that tend toward the prevention of
influenza in this community and its
spread throughout the county. and
that all restrictions be more faithfully
observed than they have been in the
past.
DR.. Bremen and Mrs. Laird re-
turned to Eureka this forenoon from
the Isaac ranch and brought the sad
news of the death of Miss Laird
there at 2::3O this morning. A cas-
ket was sent out for the remains
this afternoon. which will be brought
to Eureka sealed and not be re-
opened. The time has not been set
for the funeral, which will be strict
ly private and only attended by mem
bers of the family.
1t is reported that Robert Raine
and two others at his ranch in Pine
Valley are down with the disease

teacher. of the Pine Valley district
school, is down with the disease at
the Yates ranch, and a doctor from

all of the Isaac family except Mr..
Isaac, where Miss Laird died, have

home for Austin to be with a married
sister. In bidding her folks good bye
she kissed her brother. and she and
the married sister at Austin are now
also reported down with influenza.

President Signs the
 Prohibition Bill

Washington, Nov. 21.-President Wilson today signed the emergency agricultural appropriation bill with its legislative rider providing for na- tional prohibition from next July until the American army is demobilzed.
 Unless the presidential proclama- tion under the food control act is res cinded, the prohibition amendment will affect only the manufacture of wine, for the brewing of ale and beer must cease December l, under the presidents proclamation. The manu- facture of whiskey was stopped soon after the nation entered the war. Under the amendment the manufac- ture of wine will cease next May l, and should brewing of beer be al lowed to continue after December l, it also would stop May l, under the new law.
 After June 30, no intoxicating li- quors of any kind may be sold in this country for beverage purposes except for export, until such time as the president, by proclamation, declares Rehabilitation completed. The amend ment also prohibits the importation of intoxicating beverages into this coun- try from the time the bill is approved by the president until demobilization of the army is completed

OPPOSED TO THE
 WILSON PLAN OF
 CABLESCONTR0L
Republicans Declare That Ii is a Boost For Government Ownership-Also Peace Cen sOrship.

Washington, Nov. 21.-PresiIent Wilson's action in taking over control and operation of marine cable sys- tems and express agencies, were wig orously criticised today in the senate by Republican senators, who sad it was part of a plan to establish per manent government ownership.
 The speakers were Senators Wat son of Indiana, Kellogg of Minnesota, and Sherman of Illinois. In the course of the debate the president was criticised for his decision to go to Europe. and George Creel, chairman of the committee on public informa- tion, who, it has been reported, is to accompany the president, also was attacked.
 Senator Watson denounced the presidents action in taking over the cable lines as a breach of faith and charged that their control was in- spired by desire for government censorship of dispatches during the peace conference so that the repre- sentatives of the European nations at the peace table may not know what is being said in the American congress about the conference.
 In the midst of the debate, Sena- tor Lewis of Illinois, the Democratic whip, sought to reply to the Republi- can senators, but did not get reccgni- tion. He did, however, offer a resolu- tion which would put congress on record as favoring government owner ship of railroads and telegraph and telephone lines.

IEAGUE OF THE
 NATIONS SCHEME
 HAS OPPOSITION
conator Reed of Missouri Criti- c;ses the Presidents Plan as nangerous-Says England is in the Way.

Washington, Nov. 21.-Regarding ,ho league of nations, Senator Reed, :. tbe senate debate today said he rd not know how "dreamers dream :, this subiect," but declared that ,r;rc;nles of international law can ,e settled by treaty without resort to !. league of nations. In discussing the .omposition of the league, he asked if tho "unspeakable Turk" would be in- .lnded with the Roman Catholics, Rus ,;or Jewish and Protestant churches.
 "Does any one believe that England would yield her mighty fleet he asked.
 "England would be the master na- t;on of the world, and all other na- lions would be subject to her if she should choose
 Europe, Senator Reed continued, has often been in war because of the hatred of rival races, and he said this hatred will spring into flame "as long AS there are men and women on the earth" The world war, he asserted, might be traced to this hatred.
 Ambitions of France and Germany to extend their borders, and of Eng land to place it's power in every quar- ter of the world, "are part of the blood of the people," the senator added
 Tn all this maelstrom of ambition, ' he continued, "it is proposed to thrust the United States. It is proposed that every time there appears cloud on he horizon of Europe we shall issue the draft, call our boys from the farm, and pour out their blood on eontroversies that do not affect us one bit"
 The life of the republic may be at stake in the issue, Senator Reed de- clared, adding that the very founda- ton on which the republic stands is involved

LEGISLATURE MUST MAKE
 DEFICIENCY APPROPRIATIONS

Little Rock, Nov. 22.-In spite of the law prohibiting deficiency in any department of the state government, deficiency appropriations must be made by the next legislature for the Confederate Home, the State Hos pital, and several other institutions Because of the increased cost of sup plies, it has been impossible to oper- ate these institutions within the ap- propriations made by the 1917 legis- lature, and to not have exceeded the appropriations would have been crim- inal, as we'll as inhumane, consequent technical violation of the law.
