SALEM. Or, April 10. (Special.)
To prevent the spreading of rabies, the
6tte Livestock Sanitary Board, at a
meeting held here today. Issued an
order placing 11 counties under quar
antine. It was announced that the dis

Included In the quarantine are Lake,
Harnev. Crook, Baker, Umatilla. Mal
heur. Wheeler and Union, where rabies
prevails, and Multnomah, Clackamas
and Jackson, to which it is feared the
disease may spread.
The order requires that all dogs, un
less used in herding livestock, be muz
xled. State Veterinarian Lytle. who at
tended the meeting, eaid that all
violators of the quarantine would be
punished to the fullest extent of the
law. the penalties being fines from 150
to $100 tor each offense. Mr. Lytle an
Bonnced that all peace officers would
be called upon for assistance in en
orcing the order. The veterinarian
declared that conditions were especially
alarming in Lake County, rabid coy
otes and dogs running the range in
large numbers. He said that many
cattle and a number of persons had
keen bitten there.
"We shall try to get the city author
ities of Portland to enforce the order
there," continued Dr. Lytle. "It will re
quire that dogs be muzzled, and, when
on the street, in leash. The board will
sea that it is enforced in Multnomah
County outside the city.
"Stock owners have suffered severely
in eastern counties. The situation is
specially hard for the poor homestead
ers, where some of them have lost their
only cow through being bitten by a
hydrophobic coyote or dog. Even cats
are becoming afflicted with the dis
ease and they are being killed by fear
etrlcken owners."

experiments Dein& maae uj mo -haeuser
Timber Company in clearing
360 acres of logged-off land about three

known at this time. An exact expense
account is being kept of the cost, and
when the land is ready for the plow

others who have such land to clear.
It will work out something like this:
A owns 40 acres of improved land.

Here Is Good News
for Stomach Victims
Some very remarkable results ar
being "obtained by treating stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles with purs
vegetable oils, which tzert a cleansing,
soothing and purifying action upon the
lower bowels, removing the obstruc
tions of poisonous fecal matter and
gases and preventing their absorption
by the blood. This done, tha food la
allowed free passage from the stomach,
fermentation ceases and stomach
troubles quickly disappear.
Oeorg. II. Mayr. for 20 years a lead
ing Chicago druggist, cured himself
and many of his friends of stomach,
liver and intestinal troubles of years'
standing by this treatment, and so suc
cessful was the remedy he devised that
It has since been placed in the hands of
druggists all over the country, who
have sold thousands of bottles.
Though absolutely harmless the ef
fect of the medicine is sufficient to
convince any one of Ha remarkable
effectiveness, and within !4 hours the
sufferer feels like a new person. Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy is sold by leading
druggists everywhere with the positive
understanding that your money will b
refunded without question or quibble If
