of spotted fever and the tick. The
workers OF the u. S. Public Health
Service and of the state + working
every day of the year in the labora-
tory and field in great personal dan
ger in order that a solution may be
reached. They are handling infected
ticks and using the inoculating syringe
daily. Those of US who are now liv-
ing in the presence of this danger
have little conception of what anxi-
ETY. these men and their wives are IN
der. Four laboratory workers have
lost their lives in this investigation.
l believe that the state at large
should be slow in criticizing the rec
ommendation and quick to endorse it,
considering the overwhelming evidence
we have against the goat.
"At a recent meeting of game
wardens of the northwestern states
held at Missoula the subject was pre-
scented and discussed at length All
were very much interested in the sub
ject. No action was taken but it
seemed to be. evident that they believ,
ed that something must be done and
hoped that it would be sufficient to
kill only enough goats to drive them
back into the mountains.
"We should not overlook the fact
that this disease is affecting the repu.
tation of the state as a place to live
in. We are widely known as thu
state where spotted fever is common
The views of many persons in the cas-
are very unreasonable, it is true. The!
do not realize how small part of Mon
tana this dangerous spot is and the!
hear exaggerated statements of tn
number of persons who die. TIL
best way to correct this wrong i'm

ticks. The adults do not feed unon
the smaller rodents such as squirrels
Bears, coyotes, deer and elk are also
hosts of adult ticks but they r very
much less abundant than the goats
and per individual much less used as
a host. More than 500 fever ticks
have been taken from a single goat at
one time, and, since the adults remain
on the host for only about two weeks,
it is clear that several thousand may
feed on one goat in a season. There
is no other large wild animal which
even approaches this record Again,
the percentage of infected ticks among
those found in the goat ranges runs
distinctly higher than for any other
kind of locality and there is no other
kind of country that we know Of which
has So heavy an infestation OF ticks
as the country where the goats
range. We believe that the goat
alone is responsible for from IS to 80
per cent of the tick infestation Of the
locality where they live.
cit is not claimed that the elimin'
alton of the goat will alone solve the
tick problem, but it is evident that the
elimination of the goat is the nex'
step to be taken. Our Investigations
have shown that probably there is nc
one thing that can be done TO gel
rid of the tick. 1t is true that there
are localities, as in Glacier Nationa
Park, where there are goats and nj
spotted fever. This is merely be-
cause the germ Of spotted fever doe
not occur in that locality. We shall
have to meet conditions just as we
find them in each locality.
"The Board of Entomology has no

RELATION Of GOAT
To SPOTTED FEVER

The following article, dealing with
the Rocky Mountain goat as a host
for the dreaded tick which carries
the spotted fever germ, was prepar-
ed by R. A. Cooley, entomologist of
the State College here. Experiments
covering years, in which several inves-
tigators have lost their lives, have
been conducted in an effort to COM
bat the tick which infests the west
side of the Bitter Root valley. 1t has
been learned that the tick feeds upon
the goats, numerous in the rocky
crags of the valley, and steps have
been suggested to control the tick
through driving the goats back into
the deep mountains, away from civil
ization. Mr.. COoley's article follows:
ut is quite unfortunate that the
general public has ir some way gotten
the wrong impression regarding the
recent recommendations of the State
Board of Entomology in the matter
of Rocky Mountain goats. The men,
bers of the Board have been aware
for some years that this animal is of
particular Importance and have given
attention to securing the fullest pos
sible information on the subject. The
recommendation was made only after
a very careful consideration of the
subject.
Rocky Mountain spotted fever is
communicated to man. only by the
bite of the tick. Our investigations
have shown that infected ticks are tt
be found in the Bitter Root Valley
only close along the mountains on the
west side of the valley and particular
" around the mouths of the canyons
The mountains are very rugged ant
the rocks come down quite close Il
the valley. These rocks are inhabited
by the Rocky Mountain goat and II
places and at times they may be seel
in the mountains from the valley
The infected ticks are being fed on
into the valley where peoples live
from the mountains through the mum
erous canyons leading back into tn
mountains.
"The case aginst the mountain goa
may be summarized as follows: Tn
adult ticks must have blood befor
they can lay eggs, and if we coul
prevent the adults from finding host
to feed upon we could get rid of tn

HIRAM JOHNSON

CHICAGO, Nov 28.-A two-fisted tion's foreign policies with a merciless flaying of Secretary Hughes repara tions proposal, were the outstanding features of the speech tonight by Hi ram Johnson, before the Cook County Real Estate Board, formally opening his campaign for the presidency.
 Senator Johnson gave his approval of the Soldier bonus, demanded imme- diate tax reduction, aid for farmers, and the enactment of child labor law and minimum wage law as constitu- tional amendments.
 The Senator tore into Sec. Hughes latest effort 10 get the United States, as he charged, into the cockpit of Europe" and deplored the lack of a genuine American policy at Washing ton.
 America has evils at home which should be corrected" shouted the Sen. ator. Until we show we are able to keep our own house clean, why should be try to show our neighbor how to keep house. A participation into Eu- ropean affairs at this time would mean our entrance into another war. Let Europe lay down the sword and take up the sickle before she calls for help The money spent in armaments and armed invasions of territory would enable them to purchase their own necessities. I am bitterly opposed to mixing into the European muddle al any time, and much more so at the present"

GOVERNOR BONE TELLS
 ALASKA C0AL RESOURCES

JUNEAU, Nov. 2S.-"The fact tha Alaska coal is at last reaching loca markets" said Governor Scott c. Bone before leaving for Seward on the Ad mlral Watson, lis most gratifying to me, as 1t must be to all Alaskans. It mas long been an anomaly that, witk large deposits of excellent coal in many parts of the Territory, Alaskan communities have been compelled to use the imported product. It was my hope that coal from the Matanuska field would be put on the markets of Southeastern Alaska last year. The delay evidently has been unavoidable but now that native coal is available it behooves the people to give it pref. erence. There is no doubt of it's quality.
 "The possibility of coal production, not only in the Matanuska field. but elsewhere in the Territory, are real and promising and the day should not be far distant when Alaska coal shall be exclusively handled and consumed throughout Alaska.
 "Ten years ago at Dutch Harbor witnessed the spectacle of a Norwe gian vessel unloading Australian coal for use by the American Navy. That was an object lesson of short sightedness on the part of the gov ernment in locking up and leaving un developed Alaska's coal deposits and shipping a foreign product across the seas at heavy cost. It is reassuring and a sign of the times that such spectacles are of the best.
