MANY HORSES DIEING OF
SWAMP FEVER HERE

During the present summer, a
large number of horses in Ely and
vicinity have contracted swamp
fever. About fourteen cases have
been observed during the last two
months and six of these have died or
have been destroyed. At, the pres
ent time there are four cases under
quarantine according to DR.. Thomp-
son, city veterinarian.
Swamp fever is a disease of
horses and is not transmitted to
people, but it is at present time
about the worst uncontrolled dis
ease of horses. 1t has been proved
that the large horse fly is trans
mitter of the disease from one horse
to another. The disease in acute
form may kill the horse in fifteen
days or it may develop into a
chronic form and the animal will
then linger along as much as year
or more. The diseased horse first
shows somewhat a loss of appetite
and lingering gait. The hind legs
may show alternating lameness.
The animal tries to bear most of it's
weight on its fore limbs, and the
owner usually gets an opinion that
the animal has been hurt in the
loins. The general appearance of
the animal becomes very depressed
and soon the horse begins to rapidly
lose flesh. The symptoms of the
chronic stages are too numerous to
mention but any horse showing the
symptoms stated, should Immediate
ly be isolated from the rest of the
stock. The State Livestock Sanitary
Board requires all such animals to
be quarantined and owners of
horses should avoid keeping a
healthy horse in a stall where a
'swampy" horse has been until the
barn has been white washed and
dlslnfected. 1t is a good plan to
make inquiries of road camp as
to the existence of swamp fever be-
fore hiring out horses. All horse
owners should assist by seeing to it
that "swampy" horses are properly
isolated and stables white washed.
1t is interesting to note that no
new cases of swamp fever occur
after the first days of October and
this seems to show that the theory
OF the horse fly transmitting the
disease is correct, because after
that the cold weather kills the flies.
The present means of treating
swamp fever are very unsatisfactory
and nothing but the owners assist
ance in destroying fiji and their
breeding places, and assisting in
quarantine regulations, will prove
of any value.

the loss of a bed roll to the office
of the Miner. The bed roll was an
article of war time days and con-
tanned a large number of war time

FAVOR HIGHER PENSIONS FOR CIVIL
 SERVICE EMPLOYES

Washington, April 6.-Senator Ster- ling, chairman of the senate civil ser vice committee, favors an increase of pensions to civil service employees. He plans to urge the next session of con- gross that the maximum annuity paid employees on retirement be increased from $72o-the present figure-to 5000 or ST ,ooo a year. The minimum annu- ity would be increased from $I8o to $40. There are two reasons why the amounts should be increased, said Senator Sterling. First, because the purchasing power of the dollar makes the present figures inadequate; sec ond, because the retirement fund has developed and increased to an extent, far beyond the expectations of those who fostered the act.
 Ire law has been in operation since August, 1920, and the fund is now something like $I7,ooo,ooo It was expected that after the first year or two the fund would amount only to $8, ,ooo, 900 or perhaps $Io,ooo,ooo.
 Under the law all employees contri- bute 2A per cent of their salaries to the fund. But the maximum annuity after 30 years service after reaching the age of retirement is $72o no mat ter whether the employe has been re- ceiving ST 200 year or $2,5oo. Sen ator Sterling IS considering having the annuities correspond somewhat with the size of the contributions by
