by the American Red Cross Commis- j Hons," was elimiuated before, adopt

Tho cause of tho great epidemic
Is be.lleved'to be tho lack of adequate!
deluuslng facilities. Poland, for ex
ample, is receiving hundreds of
thousands of Russian refugees, most
I of whom are covered with the vermin
and tilth that curries the typhus
germ. Tho Polish government has
set up delousing stations and is try

authorities estimato that 85 per cent
of tho incoming masses have man

(Ily United Prom to The Bond Bulletin)
WALLA WALLA. Wash., Feb. IS.
Protected by tho laws of both the
state of Washington and the federal
government, tho beavers in the Wnlla
Walla nnd Touchet river valleys, In
south-enste.rii Washington, have be
come so numerous that tho fnrmofs
of that region consider them even
more of a nuisance than the jack
rabbits.
The beavers have destroyed thous
ands of dollars worth of fruit trees
and rendered many acres of land
useless.
Efforts to obtain relief thus far
have proved unsuccessful. The state
law protects tho animals and as they
do not como within the predatory
uaimal law, tho federal officials have
been unable to do anything. Dr. A.
K. Fisher of Washington, D. C,
chief of tho biological service rodont
control bureau of tho department of
agriculture, has boen studying the
situation nnd it Is hoped by the farm
ers that somo solution of the prob
lem may bo worked out.
