DIR. Nielsen said that the quaran-
tine officers held that it was bet
ter policy to establish the quarantine
stations two weeks before the roads
we're open rather than two weeks
after automobile and tourist travel
had started.
Stockmen Swing Into Action
Stockmen of Douglas and Alpine
counties met at Minden again for
the purpose of selecting an advisory
committee to act in conjunction with
the county commissioners in recon-
nending quarantine officers to guard
was agreed that the committee
should compose seven men and the
following were chosen:
State Senator VIM. Dressler, NJ
Mack, Fred Settelmeyer. George f.
Dangberg, L. Stodieek and w. Park
County Clerk Jepsen will act as clerk
OF the advisory committee.
A resolution was also passed for
the appointment of twenty stockmen
% serve without pay, to assist in the
work of maintaining a strict quaran-
tine on all roads leading into Cali
fornla
Representatives from Alpine coun-
ty reported that a quarantine procla-
nation had been passed by the board
Of supervisors AMI as a result four
quarantine stations are to be estab
lished on roads leading into that
county from the west.

only be made through permits.
The meeting was we'll attended by
representative farmers and stockmen
OF this community who are active in
the work of establishing a stirct
quarantine. and II possible to pre-
vent the spread of the foot and
mouth disease to this section.
Cars Get Through
Several instances of auto parties
passing through the lines have been
recorded. At Hazen one party stated
that they had come in over the Dog
Valley grade and had not been inter
fered with and were indignant that
they should submit to fumigation at
HaZen. This party returned to Reno.
Attention has been called to the
Washoe authorities that this condi-
ton exists. and suggests that a sta
ton be placed at Verdi on the Ne
vada line which would take care of
such cases. 1t is beyond the capacity
of the small hire and station at Haz-
en- to look after all OF the cars, hobos
and itinerants that seek entrance
into this valley.
Valley Well Posted
Farmers over this valley have post
ed their farms with keep off signs
and warnings. II is realized that 1t
is going to make short farm hire this
season and that community help will
have to be rendered to handle the
crops. Most of the farmers prefer
taking chance on short crops rath-
er than the disease that would wipe
them ont entirely.
Loyelock Active
County Agent AL Reed, who re-
turned from Loveloek late last week,
states that Lovelock is using prac-
tically the same methods as employed
in this section. Many men have been
rounded up and put through the bath
while cards have been found on many
of them indicating that the fumiga-
ton orders are being enforced.
Nevada Stands Pat
With all the runkus on between
Arizona and California. and the Cali
fornians enlisting the influence of
the president, the Arizona people so
far have stood pat and their action
Is most discouraging to the CalifoY-
mans. SO far Governor Scrugham
has insisted that this state maintain
it's quarantine as originated and he
has the backing of the people with
him. The governor has had one tilt
with the president and insists that
state rights must be considered first.
