FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
BREAKS OrT AFRESH

The Nevada quarantine officials
have been advised that a fresh out
break of foot and mouth disease has
occurred in Tuolumne county on the

and cattle have been exposed. This
new outbreak is regarded as serious
and quarantine stations are 10 be

policy of smothering any news that
would be detrimental to travel has
been enforced and all coast papers

does not know Just what the situa-
tion is or has been the past month.

LAST CHANCE OIL co.
ELECTS BOARD DIRECTORS

At a meeting of the Last Chance
OIL & Gas Company held in this city
on July 7th the following board of
directors we're selected who will act
for the ensuing year: DR.. J. w. Hoff-
man. president; c. B. Murray, vice
president and field superintendent;
Geo w Forbes. secretary; Judge
t. A. Jones, treasurer; I. K. Hall.
A. s. Lowman and c. NJ. Way. d.
rectors.
The selection of officers perfects
the company and the finances show
that the subscriptions have been
regular and that work is being prose-
euted at the well.
When the new company took over
the old Calneya holdings the depth
of the well was 1873 feet, this being
on May 30th. On July 7th the depth
was 1863 feet and excellent progress
being made at each shift. This rec
ord will be hard to equal anywhere
in this field or elsewhere in the state
The showings are all that could
be anticipated. as the gas pressure
has increased and those coming from
the we'll declare that the old show
ings are the best that the company
has had since taking hold of the well.
The drilling is being financed 10
cally and all of the stockholders feel
that If there Is oil in this valley that
the Last Chance company will bring

OUT FOR COMMISSIONER

Warren w Miller, one OF the well
known citizens and who has taken a
keen interest in democratic political
moves, has been persuaded by his
political and personal friends to take
chance in the game.
Mr.. Miller will make run for
county commissioner, short term.
and is one of the likely members of
the party who will be about the coun-
ty seeking the nomination. Mr.. Mill
er knows conditions here, is not radi-
cal and has mind of his own, which
is an essential feature in county
management.

be fed direct to cattle on the farms.
Those who have made inquiry have
been informed that there Will be no
cheap hay cut in this valley. 1t Is
realized that the rest of the west ls
shy on alfalfa hay and that they are
turning toward this section for re-
lief. The scare that followed the
weevil quarantine announcement Is
pretty well over and no farmer
should rush to market under the
present conditions over the entire
coast.
Feed Yards Necessary
In many cases there will be some
expense connected with feeding, as
feed yards and racks will be neces
sary, water provision will also have
to be taken care of. Mr.. Cline of the
agricultural department is convinced
that feeding in this valley will be-
come a permanent industry and it
also means larger dairy herds over
the entire project
The lifting of the quarantine as
proposed by the county commission
ers will open the way for all the
surplus hay on the project and prices
will be above the average, is the pre-
diction of all who are interested in
the welfare of the project.
II is expected that DR.. Records will
make an announcement shortly as he
has been flooded with inquiries rela-
tive to the lifting of the ban. As
soon as he goes over the situation
permits will be issued to those who
already have applications for en-
trance into this valley.

The melon was almost of commercial
size and would ripen within ten days

PERMANENT TESTER
ARRIVES ON PROJECT

The arrival of a permanent tester
for the herd testing association OF
this valley last Friday gives that i'm
portant branch of industry a new
start Mr. c. b. Boatright of Arkan-
sas drove in and is on the job.
He is a graduate of the Missouri
agricultural college and is sent in by
the government to assist in the work.
Mr.. Cline. who has been fathering
this organization. feels that this new
man will be a general aid to the
industry and that 1t will go a long
way to building confidence in the
work that has been so successful in
this valley.

RECOVERING FROM ACCIDENT

John Eason, who was badly in

him while putting up hay on his
farm, is convalescing and making
good recovery.
Following the accident 1t was

him on the head IL would have un-
doubtedly killed him.

At the regular meeting of the
county commissioners held Saturday
the matter of lifting the quarantine
against California cattle was taken
up For some time IL has been real
lied that the non-infected sections,
such as the Susanyille and Sattley
sections, should be relieved from
drouth conditions.
Mr.. EIDE, who came in here some
months ago and leased lands and
purchased hay for his cattle, has
been prevented from moving in ow-
ing to the state and county quar-
antine.
In order to clearly this matter
and get the quarantine regulations
down to a better point the commits
sioners forwarded the following let
ter TO DR.. Records at Reno, who un-
doubtedly will make arrangements
to admit cattle from certain non
infected sections. The letter is as
follows:
"The commissioners this day have
been giving further consideration to
the quarantine imposed by the state
of Nevada against shipment of cattle
from California to this state. Fully
understanding that we have no legal
powers relative to such shipments,
we have heretofore advised you of
what we consider to be the public
opinion of Churchill county ON this
subject II appears that our people.
or considerable majority of them,
are willing for cattle from northern
California to come in under whatever
restrictions you may see fit to i'm
pose.
'It might be well in any case you
are considering permitting cattle to
come in to give us an opportunity to
let Mr.. Cline confer with you on the
particular shipments or sections oil
California that you propose allowing
shipments to come from"
Others Want In
Mr.. EIDE, who will be among the
first to bring in his cattle under the
new regulations. states that his
neighbors will be following. as II Il

cattle from our own state.
Inquiries at the farm bureau an,
| the federal agricultural office con
firm the opinion that there will b'
plenty OF demand for hay.
Some Hay Sold
During last week some hay wal
sold One lot brought $12 per ton In
the stack. The same offer was ex
tended to others and was turned
down. In one instance an offer oi
s12 was made for the three crops on
the field and to assist in putting up
the croop. Farmers are being ad-
vised to go slow on sales at the pres
ent moment. as there is likely to be
demand from nearby sections In
Nevada and home cattle should have
the preference.
Worked A Joke
The lifting OF the weevil quaran'
tine in certain sections of Lyon coun
ty Is considered joke by those whC
know the situation. Mason and Smitl
valleys will not have enough feed
for their own use let alone exporta

Cream Can Quarantine
Will Be Modified
Application In Hands of DIR. Records. Means
Renewed Business For Dairy In
terests On Project

The question Of modification Of
the quarantine on cream cans shipped
into the project from California
creameries is under consideration
both by the board of health and the
state authorities. A recent communi-
cation from DR. Records to l.. r..
Cline indicates that II proper ar
rangements can be made that some
provision will be made to open up
this avenue of trade TO the local
dairyman.
DIR. Records in his letter states
that there is a movement on foot 60
lift the ban on cream can shipment
in safe points of California and ask
advise from Mr.. Cline.
A representative of the Northern
California Milk Producers Associa
ton appeared before the board o.
county commissioners and made sew
eral suggestions. One that the com
pany would pay for a man named
from this proejct who would super
wise sterilization of all cans returned
thus making safe beyond question
Another plan has been suggested
that all cans be fumigated or steril-
lied at the state line before eomins
in. This would take care of cans
from ell of the ereameries that ar
asking for a chance 70 buy cream
from the. project
Undoubtedly some plan will b.
worked out that Is satisfactory to all
concerned In the letter from Dr.
Records to Mr.. Cline he asks for
opinions from the people of this sec
ton before the ban Is lifted, as thia
is the most important dairy center
In the state.
Bidders for Cream
Undoubtedly there will be some
lively bidding for cream from this
project. Before the quarantine was
established eight outfits wore reeeiy
ing cream from this district. making
a competitive market that was appre-
ciated The commissioners have hest
tated about suggesting lifting the
ban ON cans without the approval o.
the dairy interests. In case II IS
opened To the Sacramento outfit Il
will undoubtedly have TO be thrown
open TO others. as in the one instance
II would give practically a monopoly
on shipments out.

Don't Sign Contracts

This is good business as far as the
creamery is concerned but tough on
the man who breaks II. Court rul.
ings have all been in favor of the
association. Don't sign any contracts,
keep your rights open to ship where
you please and If one creamery does
not tote fair try another. This car

Express losses
One OF the heaviest losses 10 TN
LEGAL express office has been the dis
continuance of cream shipments 10
the coast. In case a station is estab
lished at Verdi or other state line
points for handling the empty cans
ii is believed that the express COM
pany will meet the situation. as it Is
realized that the largest single item
of shipment is cream when the road
are open to the creameries.
Dairymen Willing
Most of the dairymen are willing
To have the ban lifted in the sections
where there has been no foot ami
mouth disease as there is no compe
tition and the local creamery has
been handling the entire product
The lack of bids for cream has un
douhtedly cut down tho price which
has resulted In a general kick ovef
the project.
II is figured that several hundred
dollars a day are lost to the project
through the lack of comparative bid
ding and to establish this IL will be
necessary TO lift the ban on cream
cans which 1t is figured can be done
under plans that will be formulated
by Dr. Records and Mr. Cline.

CALIFORNIA BOUND TOUR

While the real estate dealers and

pen pictures of the wonders of the
golden west, other and less ROSY
reports from disillusioned adven.
turers into that promised land are
being given much prominence in
the journals of the Middle-west.
Here Is something from the Mon,
tie Vista Journal of last week:
The old 40 slogan California or
Bust Is being waited back by for
mer valley residents with Just one
little change. according to letter
received here from Mrs. Belle Wild.
man who resides at Porterfield.
California, midway between Bakers
field and Fresno, one of the most
noted valley regions of the state.
If we are to judge from the sub
stance of Mrs Widman's letter the
1924 version would read California
and Bust"
Conditions are bad here too. All
the oranges, lemons and olives frdze
on the trees, and after the farmers
had sOwed their grain we have not
had rain enough to bring it up.
The sheepmen had to kill their
lambs as they came; no feed for
them. Everything is dead as it is
in the summer time. Water is very
scarce. The Edison people are
turning off all their men and they
are asking people to be saving of
their water and lights and have
even gone to the business men and
asked them not to turn on their
electric signs So you see the valley
is not the only place that is see
ing hard times"
In her letter Mrs. Wtdman adds
the news that W. T. Cyle, an old
time valley resident, one time of

ATLANTIC YELLOWSTONE
PACIFIC HIGHWAY q"
ASSOCIATION FORMED

To promote the construction of q
new east and west route to be
known as the Atlantic Yellowstone
Pacific Highway is the object of a
recently incorporated association OF
that name.
The association sets forth that
there are two transcontinental
roads through Chicago west. The
more northern is the Yellowstone
Trail, extending from Chicago to
Milwaukee. through the Twin Cities
and northwest to Seattle. The
other is the Lincoln Highway, ex.
tending from Chicago southwest to
Omaha. through Cheyenne and on
to San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Where these cross the Missouri
River they are over four hundred
miles apart This leaves ample
room foN another such highway
According to its advocates, the
new route will have several distinct
advantages over either of the
others:
First: 1t traverses section
whose physical characteristics are
more pleasing and inviting.
Second: 1t will be cooler and
not so dusty as the others.
Third: 1t will permit earlier
spring travel and later fall travel
than the others.
Fourth: 1t will show greater
variety of agriculture and indus
tries than either of the others
named.
The selecting of the route and
the marking, with certain advertis-
ing, Is to be accomplished early
this summer from Sioux Falls to
Mississippi River and probably to
Chicago.
The route will extend from the
Atlantic through Chicago, the
great trade center of the continent:
through Sioux Falls, whose public
spirited citizens are financing its
beginning; to the Black Hills, the
outstanding resort east of the
Rockies; by Yellowstone Park. the
Nations greatest playground, to
the Pacific.
