Quarantine Against California
Will Not Be Relaxed by Nevada
Governor Holds to Original Decision; Survey
of County Now Under Way; Better
Reports Come From Coast

cidlS 10 nOulIy the emDa1 go against
shipments which might possibly car
ry the dread disease from California
into this state, thus making the Me-
vada quarantine equal in scope and
severity to the federal quarantine
established with the outbreak on the
coast
Despite the opportunities of Mr.
Duffey the governor and the state
quarantine officer were obdurate and
the quarantine, which prohibits the
import of beef, pork and mutton, on
the hoof or in the can and all parts
or parcels there of even to the hoofs.
the horns or the hides, and to the
| secondary products of the minor sub
divisions of the respective animals,
like glue and hair, will stand indef-
initely and "as is."
Such speaking acquaintance as
might be possessed in barnyard social
circles between the ruminates and
the poultry has been deemed suffi-
cient to bar the latter even unto the
third and fourth generation, and the
quarantine has even reached out to
put stop to the nomadic habits Of
the migratory milk can.
Mr.. Duffey, now employed by the
state board of control of California,
represented that only four counties
in California were actually infected
with foot and mouth disease and that
as far as appearances may be accept
ed as indicating anything, the plague
has been stamped out there. The
federal authorities, he said, had quar-
antfned only small area of Cali
fornia but that Nevada had closed
her doors on every part of the state.
Appearing first near Vallejo, In
Solano county. and ascribed to the
feeding of swill from a ship In the
| oriental trade to local livestock, the
plague was found within a few days
in slaughterhouse in West Berk-
eley. California promptly quaran-
tined four counties, Solano, Alameda,
Napa and Contra Costa and began a
relentless fight on the infection, kill
ing and destroying the carcasses of
thousands of head of stock.
The federal government establish
ed its quarantine over the area seq
regated by California but later ex-
tended it to include all coast coun-
! ties from the south line of Monterey
. to the north line of Humboldt, en-
bracing Humboldt, Mendocino, So
noma, Yolo. Sacramento, San Joa-
quin, Stanislaus, Merced, Santa
Clara, San Benito, San Francisco,
San Mateo. Santa Cruz and Monterey
In addition to the four counties iso-
lated by the California quarantine
authorities.
The governor and Dr. Records de-
cided to take no chances and things
will remain closed until everybody is
certain how much of California Is
clean of the disease.
