ASOTIN COUNTY AROUSED.
(From the Aso'Hn Sentinel.)
While Asotin county ds making e
strenuous fight to rid Ouia JocaMty, of
hydrophobia that now exists among
the odyoles, it would; seem1 that some
Muling should be done in Nee Perce
county, Idaho, as well as wallow
county, la Oregont and Garfield coun-
'r !n Vashlmgion. In fact, the. first
r'.nor,s of itlhB exlstieiiiioe of hydro
phobia among the coyotes, came
from the Idaho side, dm. the vicinity
of BMy Creek and Captain John
cotmtrv. And starts th ofr.lrtLn.ln of
Asotin county, with, .the aldi of the
state veterinarian and his assistant.
Dr. Baker, hiave shown that hydro
phobia exists, through .thorough exam
ination by Dr. S. B Nelson, the
B'trn'o vetennnaraan at puiimani on
heads of dogs, etc., that have been
aoimt him, it .would' Beera that, the
time La opportune for Nez Perce
county to get busy. UnHess drastic
stops are taken at once to rid
this country of this dreadful disease
among the wild animals, the safety
of the horses, cattle, sheep, hogs
and dogs Is sorlously Jeoardplged;
and 'through them lives of men, worn.

of this malady is going to bq a draw

of it. It would seem that, there had

paid his compliments to Theodore
Roosevelt, discussed the future of the
railroads of the country, and consid
ered the case of the professional
muckraker.

Mr. Hill said the professional muck-
raker Is now, to all intents and pur
poses, out of a Job. The railroads
cannot undertake much needed new
construction until there 1b an entire
change of public sentiment towards
them. Neither English nor French j
bankers, he said, would advance ;
money for railroad bonds in America
under existing conditions. The Amer
ican banks have too heavy demands
on the part of municlDalitles and
other public institutions for bond Is

American roads.
