The Fallon standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1920-1958, 1924-04-23

Following the meeting In Reno o.
last week the state of Nevada tight
ened up materially on quarantine
regulations and at present practical
ly every county is main aiming tight
er rules and regulations
Churchill county SO far has led In
the vanguard OF enforcement and haf
taken the most drastic methods Of
enforcing rules against the itineranl
farm hand and hoboB, while auto
travel is feeling the efforts of the
regulations that have been put inta
operation.
Hazen Buffer Point
Hazen, on the Churchill line &c
the west, is at present the buffer
point and 1t is here that the bulk ol
the work is going on. The barrier
that was ordered erected last week
Is in force and while the two men
employed need assistance they arc
doing more work than at any sec
ton in the state.
Touring parties from the west are
stopped and either submit to fumiga-
tion or turn back. Most of the par
ties submit to the disinfecting of the
cars and personal fumigation, but in
one or two instances the parties de-
cided to return rather than go
through the ordeal. There is a ques-
ton as to this method, as such par
ties If they are a menace have al
ready trayersed a large section Of
the state coming through Reno or
other western points and return In
the same condition. It is understood
that this matter is to be looked into.
Many Without Cards
A visit to the barrier line at Hazen
Sunday revealed the fact that many
men pass through Reno without
cards indicating that they have been
fumigated Out of so men handled
at this station but one had a card.
In several instances the men had
come through Fernley where there
seems to be free traffic rules as they
were not stopped Most of the men,
however, dropped off the trains and
were rounded up at Hazen and i'm
mediately taken care of Sunday
eight men were fumigated which was
a slack day.
Guarding Mountain Lines
Real ling that one OF the danger
points VIII be Alpine and Mono eoun-
ties of California. the farmers and
dairymen of Douglas county have
taken necessary precautions.
The fact that summer range Is
owned and used by California cattle
and sheepmen in Alpine and Mono
counties. which adjoin Carson valley,
and which is the headwater of the
Carson river, which in turn feeds
into the Lahontan reservoir. this sec
tion is almost as directly interested
as Is Carson valley. Every effort is
being made TO keep the mountain
roads closed to travel for the uext
few weeks. and thus prevent tourist
travel through the west end of the
state. Unfortunately the slack snow
deposit will open these lines of COM
munication several weeks earlier
than usual.
to fli1itt quarantine
The Reeord-Courier IN speaking
of the meeting OF the Carson valley
stoekmen says.
E. Nielsen. veterinarian of the
state quarantine board. was present
and gave the stoekmen valuable in
formation relative TO the disease and
the methods adopted to combat it.
He informed the stoekaen of Alpine
county that unless that county estab-
lished a strict quarantine of their
own. 1t would be necessary to tight
en- the restrictions on the Nevada
line. That II new outbreaks occurred
in any of the California counties ad-
joining Alpine. all products from Al
pine county would be barred from
entering Nevada. lie urged that the
board of supervisors of that county
call a meeting Immediately and pass
strict quarantine ordinance and see
that it Is enforced
DR. Nielsen told the stockmen that
guards and state police were being
recruited and that all roads leading
into Nevada from California would
be Immediately blocked r fumiga-
ton and disinfeetion stations estab-
lished This has already been done
and yesterday the lake Tahoe road
and the Alpine road were placed un-
Ger quarantine. A station has also
been established at Sweetwater and
one near the state line on the Ante
lope valley road. Other roads not
frequently travelled have been block
ed. These stations will be operated
day and night and no one will be
allowed to pass without fumigation
unless they have card showing that
the same has been done at other
quarantine stations, This of course
applies to those entering Nevada
