county and section against the pos
sible introduction of the foot and
mouth disease the county board of
health last week issued an order pro-
hibiting the importation of fruits,
vegetables, dried fruits, flowers and
nursery stock. The decision was
reached after considerable discus
sion by the three county commission
ers, DR.. Ferrell as county health of.
fieer and Attorney Winters. The en-
forcement of the order was placed
la effect and by Saturday this city
was pretty well cleaned of California
vegetables that had been ordered
previous to the passage and enforce
ment of the embargo.
The board of county commission
ers at the same meeting made ar
rangements to take care of cars COM
ing from the south through Terrell
summit, where Jud Terrell will con-
duct a fumigation station. This step
was taken upon petition of people of
the Island district who believed that
the one station at the Giberson ranch
was insufficient. Friday material
was taken to Terrell's by Sheriff
Crane and all autos coming from the
vest will be subjected to treatment
tefore entering this valley.
Douglas County Acts
The Record-Gourier of Gardner
vile has the following which shows
that the people of that section, bor
dering on California, are taking no
chances:
Through the activity of the stock
men of Carson valley, working in
conjunction with officials of Nevada.
all roads leading from California IN
to Douglas county are now either
blocked to travel or closely guarded
by state police in charge of fumlga
tion and disinfection plants. Every
possible barrier against the cattle
scourga. has been established.
Eighteen men have been placed
ut the roads leading into Douglas
county while Alpine county, Calf.
has taken drastic precautions. Many
of the California stock men and
sheep men use this section for sum
mer range.
Fumigation Continues
Work of fumigating men and par
ties who arrive at Hazen continues
and several have been found who
ceme direct from the infected re
glonB. as two have confessed having
been employed on farms that had
suffered heavy losses through the
disease These men had drifted
through the line and reached the
edge Of the project without inter-
ference.
1t is believed that the enforce
inent of fumigation methods by the
other districts and sections leading /
TO this project will have the effect
of relieving the work at Hazen and |
other points.
Federal Control Possible
While the state and the various
counties are carrying on qnarantines
and fumigation plants. 1t seems like
iy that the federal government may
take a hand in the regulations. es-
pecially on regulating embargoes. +
The Gazette Of April 20 has the fol- /
lowing:
Dr. T. E. Records. state quaran- f
tien officer. will leave tomorrow
night for Sacramento to confer Mon
day with DIR. Houck. federal yeter-
marian in charge of the foot and
nouth epidemic in that state.
The conference, to discuss wheth-

TO be given supervision of the quar-
antine regulations as they affect Ne
yada. was arranged by Gov. James
G. Serugham, who announced he Is
willing for the federal authorities
to take over the work providing the
livestock industry of the state is
safeguarded and the government as
sumes the expense.
Makes Travellers Pay
In some of the counties the propo-
sition of making the fumigated par
ties pay for the treatment is being
agitated. This has been ordered in
Inyo county, Calf The Inyo Regis
ter. published at Bishop, Calf. has
the following:
The Supervisors on Monday estab-
lshed a charge of two dollars for
fumlgating each car at Little Lake.
A charge is made in some other
places, and appears to be wholly
fitting under the circumstances.
With Arizona completely barring
travel easterly, the Nevada passes
still closed. and Oregon discouraging
travel out from California. those
from other states who want to get
out of California are being turned
over the Midland Trail Nevada is
accepting the Inyo fumigation certi-
