reaction from the vaccine is said to
have given favorable indications that
the serum will give persons complete
immunity but the test will not be def
initely proven until the subjects have
been inoculated with the virus.
These experiments have been COR
Quoted successfully on the guinea
pig, the virus having no effects on

DR.. Butler worked with DR.. Nog-
uchi while he was here and has been

that the Japanese scientist has dew

fever and states that many of the
employees of the forest service and
other state departments have been
vaccinated with the serum which DR..
Noguchi developed.
DR.. Noguchi has not announced
when he will inject the virus in his
patients, and it is said, has not fully
decided to carry the experiment that
far.

Dermacentor Verustus are not to
be feared by fishermen and auto
tourists In Montana, according to
DIR. w. j. Butler, state veterinar-
ian and member of the state board
of entomology. 1t is not DIR. But
ler's idea that the average angler
or mountain camper leaves the city
with dread of this creature in his
heart but nearly all who are not
experienced woodsmen fear the
spotted fever carrying wood tick
which is the American alias for
this tiny insect that often carries
death in its bite.
There are many reasons why they
are not to be feared, the chief one
being that it takes tick more than
two hours to imbed itself in human
being, DR.. Butler states, and if the
person who frequents the mountain
forests, sage brush plains or grass
lands will only make an inspection
of himself or have a fellow member
of the party do it even scores of ticks
can be brushed off without serious
results. In case the tick has gotten
started under the skin, however, it
is better to cauterize the sore.
Old time woorsmen or those whose
calling keeps them in the forests
much of the time make it point,
DR.. Butler states, to examine them
selves for ticks every time they get
back to camp. A bath will not suf-
flee alone, he states, because the lit
tie insect hangs on tenaciously.
Even though person is not care
full to brush off ticks which have got
ten onto him, the percentages are all
in favor of his escaping without
catching the spotten fever, DR.. Butler
declares. There are two kinds of in
fected tick, those carrying the Bitter
Root strain, which is very virulent,
and is credited with 80 per cent
fatality record, and the Idaho strain,
which is usually mild, the fever sell
dom proving fatal to adults and never
to children, it is stated. The Bitter
Root strain of Infection is confined
almost exclusively to the west side
of the Bitter Root valley but the
Idaho strain is found throughout this
state, Idaho, Washington, Nevada, |
Colorado, Oregon and Wyoming.
Investigation has developed the
belief that they seldom climb higher

than 18 inches or two feet on a tree
and that they do not drop down on
a person from the higher branches as
once was thought. They confine
themselves to sage brush and other
shrubbery or haunt decayed logs, the
floors of old buildings and often
times cling to wet grass.
Need a Grip First
They cannot get onto person I'M
less that person brushes against
them so that they can get grip with
one or both of their tiny front legs.
Once getting hold of clothing, they
start climbing upward, never down
ward, DR.. Butler states. The neck
is usually the first place where they
encounter flesh, consequently this is
where they usually begin burrow-
ing to get at blood, and it takes two
and half hours to get under the
skin, according to experiments.
The female tick lays from 5000 to
5000 eggs a year and from 10 to 20
per cent of an infected females eggs
are infected but the mortality rate
is high and the insect must pass
through two stages, sometimes TAX
ing two years before it becomes an
adult and is menace to human be-
ings.
After July 4, except in the very
high attitudes where the weather is
cool, ticks are not to be found for
they are in Information. Ticks can
not live in warm weather.
DR.. H. Noguchi, the Japanese sci
entists now in New York, is thought
to have found vaccine serum which
will render human beings immune
from spotted fever. Recently while
near Missou1a, he inoculated
a dozen countrymen with this serum
and later it is said plans to inoculate
some of these, if they are willing,
with the spotted fever virus. The

WOLF POINT STAMPEDE
TO Be WILD AND WOODY

The shaggy buffalo no longer dot
the hills and plains of eastern Mon
tana, or impede the progress of
steamboats, up the Missouri river.
Doughty Sioux warriors no longer
hide down their game and shoot
their winters supply of meat with
bow and arrow, using the hides of
the slain buffalo for tepees or moe
casins and robes. Those days of
trial and adventure have gone, but
each year the spirit of those days is
revived in rodeo and stampede, when
the nerviest cowboys and the widest
outlaw bronchos are pitted against
each other in riding and rop1ng con-
tests that thrill the spectators.
The big stampede at Wolf Point
this year from July IL to IA bids
to be wilder and woolier than any
previous stampede ever pulled off.

Point attracted celebrated riders
from Oklahoma to Canada. This year
