STOCK FREE FROM
DREADED DISEASE

u HANY reports, all of which have
| N as yet proved on investigation
| AvA to be unfOunded, that the foo
and mouth disease has broken ou
in Montana, have kept the state vet
erinarian, DR.. w. ]. Butler and his
assistants, busy and under somewhat
of nervous strain of late. In 1914
Montana had the foot and mouth dis.
ease and since that time a rigid in
spection has been maintained, DR.
Butler states. For nine years the
state department has required the
burning of all packing and shipping
material in which chinaware and one
or two other commodities have been
imported into this country from Eng
land and China.
While the Montana state veteri-
marian believes that California now
has passed the crisis and will gradu-
ally strengthen the grip it has on
the situation which for time men
aced the livestock of the west, the
vigilance of the Montana officials
will not be relaxed.
Slaughter of cattle, the best meth
cd of opposing the spread of the
dread disease that has yet been dis
covered, still is not a scientific or a
satisfactorily efficient way of COM
batting it, the Montana veterinarian
believes. The fight against the in
fection must go on until serum or
medical preparation is found which
will immunize cattle or eliminate the
disease after it is contracted, he
states. Slaughter will cope with the
disease temporarily but it is the his
tory of European countries, he de-
clares, that the time comes when kill
ing stock no longer will cope with
the situation-when the disease be-
comes so widespread that it is no
longer profitable to kill stock rather
than to yield to the disease and at
tempt to doctor the sick animal.
With more than 500 men of sci
ence studying the disease, in Cali
fornia alone, and the most eminent
scientists of the world working for
serum or medical treatment, the day
will come and possibly soon when
foot and mouth disease will be con-
quered, DR.. Butler predicts.
Foot and mouth disease also is
known as aphthous fever, epizootic
aptha and eczema contagiosa, the de-
partment of agriculture states in a
book devoted to this subject.
The disease has appeared in the
United States on at least six differ
ent occasions prior to the present
outbreak in California. These times
were in 1870, 1880, 1884, 1902, 1908
and 1914. In 1914 it was found in
21 states in addition to Montana.

SERVED 20 YEARS
COUNTY ASSESSOR
MONTANA'S OLDEST OFFICE
HOLDER, 80 YEARS OF
AGE, TO RETIRE
Henry S. Neal, Pioneer of Montana,
Ex-Confederate Soldier and Re-
publican, Has Had Most Interest
ing Career.

| MOntana's oldest office holder is
| Assessor Henry S. Neal of Deer
Lodge county. He is 80 years of
| age, a pioneer of Montana, a form
er Confederate soldier, and re-
| publican. He has served as as
| SCISSOR of Deer Lodge county for
| 20 years, and few days ago an
nounced that at the expiration of
his present term of office he would
retire.
He was born in ante bellum days
in Baltimore, and was cousin OF
former President Grover Cleveland
He was in college when the Civil war
broke out, cast his lot with the south
and enlisted under General Robert E.
Lee.
Shortly after the close of hostili-
ties he decided to locate in the west.
He travelled from Virginia to st.
Louis, Mo-, by rail; thence to Kan
sas City by boat; to Atchison, Kan,
by rail, where he joined with Shrew-
bury's train consisting of "a mule
and OK teams and 80 men. With
that outfit he travelled to Julesburg,
thence up Pole creek to Fort Buford
and then by Green river to Salt Lake,
where he arrived in September, 1865.
He worked there until the following
spring, when he went to Virginia
City, in what is now Montana. The
place failed to hold him, and his next
destination was Last Chance gulch,
site of Montana's present capital. At
that place he began placer mining
and followed it with varied success
for some time.
He then enlisted in the Montana
militia, serving as lieutenant under
Neil Howe. With his company he
made trip to what is now the Yel-
lowstone National park, where
trouble arose in the ranks, and the
entire company, with the exception
of the officers, left the service. With
his fellow officers, Lieutenant Neal
returned to Last Chance, where he
again took up placer mining.
Becoming tired of that occupation,
he turned his attention to stock rails
ing, taking up a claim in the same
He remained there, meet
ing with fair success until 1871,
when he sold his ranch property and
moved to the Deer Lodge valley,
where he leased the Dance ranch.
He remained on the ranch for three
years, then again took up mining
in the Squaw gulch district, and
worked there two years for wages.
Next he returned to the Deer Lodge
valley and leased the Bratton ranch,
which proprty he operated with good
success until 1884, when he sold
out and moved to Anaconda, which
was just being started. He identi-
fled himself with public affairs soon
after locating in the new camp, and
after serving one term as street COM
moved to Granite county
and opened general store and
boarding house. The venture pros
Dered and he remained with it for
live years. In 1890, an opportunity
presented itself for an advantageous
sale and he disposed of his property
and returned to Anaconda. In 1904
le was elected justice of the peace
Ind after filling that office for four
years was elected assessor, which |
position he still retains.
