History Of Rabies
Narrated By Cline
Disease Infectious Not Spontaneous
Says Government Official; Ad-
vises Greater Care in Vicinity
(By l.. Il. cline)

Because of the numerous inquir-
les regarding rabies, which have
come to me since the recent occur
rences In this vicinity, | feel that it
Is worth while to make a few brief
statements regarding the disease,
so that those who may be unfortu-
nate enough to come in contact
with it, may be better able to pro-
tect themselves.
The rabies disease has been
known from very early times, but
until rather recently the nature of
the disease has not been known and
even at the present time there are
many who believe in the spontane-
Gus development of rabies, due to
lack of water. hot weather. excite
ment, etc. There is no foundation
for such beliefs. The infectious ma
ture of the saliva of rabid dogs was
determined as early as 1904. Other
valuable experiments following in
rapid succession led up to the very
valuable work of Pasteur and his
collaborators In 1889 These scien-
lists made exhaustive studies of
rabies and perfected the method of
protective vaccination against the
disease known as the Pasteur treat
ments are effective in preventing
rabies IL given early enough after
infection by a rabid animal.
Quick and active diagnosis of
rabies was greatly facilitated by a
scientist by the name of Negri In
1908. This scientist demonstrated
the presence of certain bodies in the
brain cells of rabid animals. These

Optimism Prevails
Among All Oil Men
Old Companies Ready to Resume
Operations; Expect Showing In
Near Future Say Many

The feeling of optimism prevails
among all men connected with the
Fallon oil fields and many express
the opinion that as soon as the
weather permits operations will be
started by all companies with a re-
newed vigor that should show actu-
al results within a short time. Work
is practically at stand-still at pres
ent due to bad weather conditions,
but few days of warm weather
should see signs of great activity at
all rigs in the field, is the opinion
of those interested.
The officers of several local COM
panies have promised to show devel-
opment within a short period of
time and an air of mystery. instill-
ed with optimism, is noticeable
among several men prominently con-
nected with the work.
Big Four Is Ready
w. B. Nichols of the Big Four
company states that his organiza-
tion will be ready to begin opera
tions within a few days. weather
permitting. Nichols expressed him
self as being most optimistic con-
cerning the future of the field.
With six consecutive days of good
weather, according to G. E. Porter,
the Union oil company should have
the we'll cleaned out Porter said
that there weresformerly forty-seven
rods In the hole and that all but
three have now been extracted. 1t
should take about six more days to
completely clean the hole, in Port
er'ss opinion, and it should then be
known whether or not the company
has an oil we'll.
Would Call 1t a Well
Porter said that Harry Evans,
formerly a field manager for the
Standard oil company. was in Fal-
Ion last week and after viewing the
Union company's showing stated
that if the same conditions existed
in California they would say that it
was an oil we'll.
The Syndicate men have "re-mud-
ded'' the hole and all indications
point to an early resumption of
work at that location. The Syndi-
cate suspended drilling operations
last fall in order to obtain heavier
rigging. No definite announcement
as to when the rigging is expected
has been made but work on the
field is being done in preparation
of further actions, is the opinion of
several men interested.
Prospects Excellent He Says
The Lahontan oil company is
working at present after having
been delayed to a considerable ex-
tent by bad roads and cold weather.
The Diamond company is expected
to resume drilling by the 18th of
the month and it is thought that the
Calneva company will also be one of
the active organizations within a
few weeks.
II consider the prospects for
bringing in a we'll in the Fallon field
to be more promising today than at
any time in its history" said Por-
ter, although financial conditions
are bad and the companies have
been seriously handicapped by the
weather, the spring should find all
the old companies at work again and
there is little doubt in my mind as
to the probability of proving the
field. +"

accord with the avowed purposes Of
the bill, but that he could not sub

Outlining the 8 for his veto
the President said that Congress had
failed. first Of all. to provide the v
enue from which the bestowal was to
be paid. He added that the ultimate
cost could not be estimated definitely.
but that the treasury figured the to-
tai at S750.O0O.00O for the first four
years with q final charge In excess OF
$4,000. 00O.0 600.
Mr. Harding told Congress the pro-
posed service certificates substituted
for the original cash payment would
constitute borrowing ION the nations
credit Just as truly as though the
loans were made by direct govern
ment borrowing" He added that
this involves a dangerous abuse of
public credit.
The executive stated that 1t was

there is an American-MeXican monop-
oily of sisal, used in making binding

but now a minimum of SIS cents Is

that the Sisal Sales corporation of New
York, and the Commission Exporta-

the sisal trade and fix the prices. There
is an American selling corporation
which controls the Mexican sisal pro-
duction and absolutely dominates the

LLOYD r CRISIS.

Once more David Lloyd George, the

Of Great Britain, finds himself facing

satisfaction with present conditions

political enemies are ut his heels.
They are bent on bringing about a
position In Parliament which may af-
ford tho opportunity Of a test vote,

triumph or his overthrow.
Lloyd George has been the most IN
nuentiai and powerful Premier Great
Britain has had for a century or more.
Hi. reign has been picturesque and
attended by more startling and i'm

INTEREST IN NRW YORK.

Political observers now profess to
see in the pending election campaign
in New York n deliberate move by
Governor Miller to have himself pre-
scented to the Republican National
Convention of 1924 as a candidate for
the Presidential nomination. That Is,
OF course. provided he wins n re-elec-
ton in November, a result that has
been rendered decidedly doubtful by
the wise action of the Democratic
State Convention In accepting former
Governor Alfred Smith as the .party's
State leader.
Governor Miller Is said 20 be in
sidiously recasting the Republican
state machine so that II will he solid
