Murgia, was executed. form the
subject Of the following bulletin
from the Washington, d. c.. head
quarters Of the National Geographic
Society:
attention was focused upon
Durango in 1916 by the march into
that state OF General Pershing's ex-
peditionary force. Then. and TO
this day, the finding OF worn and
weather beaten carretas, or clumsy
carts. with their solid wooden
wheels. and built without nails or
spikes. recalls the very early COM
munication between Durango City
and New York. In those days II
took a year TO transport freight be-
tween those points.
THE state OF Durango has an
area about equal to that OF Vir-
glnia, and a population estimated at
about that OF New Hampshire. In
normal mining times more than A.
600 mining properties were operat-
ed in Durango. a number exceeded
only in chihuahua, to the north,
and in Sonora. to the northeast
across a strip Of Chihuahua and Sin
aloa. Most OF the Durango mines
were closed in 1915.
THE name OF the little settle
ment, Tepehuantes, recalls one of
the earliest events in Durango's re-
corded history It was the tribe
which gave the name to the village
which, with the Terahumares. arose
against the Spanish settlers four
years before Plymouth Colony was
founded. In that year some $4,000
Indians Of these two tribes march
ed on Durango City. They killed
and burned down
churches as they moved. Not more /
than 500 white people withstood this
siege and even allowing for an ex-
aggeration IN their estimate OF 49,
1000 OF their enemy killed. the white
mans victory was a terrible lesson
o their assailants.
Remnants OF these two tribes
low sprinkle the edges of the Sierra
fadre range which cuts across the
northwest corner OF Durango.

flocks Of sheep have como through the
winter without being troubled with
ticks, lice or scab, L. J. Horlacher. in
charge Of sheep work at the College OF
Agriculture says. Dipping. therefore,
will be necessary this spring on many
farms of the state to control these
pests, he said.
Trials at the Kentucky Agricultur-
al Experiment Station show that ticks
and lice can be controlled effectively
by use Of any of the standard COM
meriacl coal tar or sheep dips but that
a tobacco dip Is best for scab. The
animals should be dipped Immediately
after shearing, and then again ten or
twelve days later. This second dip
ping kills all parasites which have
Matched since the time Of the first dip
ping. Directions given by manufactur-
ers OF the dips should be followed
closely II best results are obtained.
This is particularly true when to-
bacco dip is used. A solution that IS
too strong acts as poison and may
kill the animal. Also, a sheep that is
allowed to remain in the dip too long
may be poisoned"
