I entered the contest, fully determined, if in my power, to win; and from the first week in December to the 10th 'of February, I never found the weather too cold or the roads to long. And oft in the stilly night, and a good many times when it wasn't so still, found me miles from home soliciting subscriptions for Capper's Weekly, with the result that I won, in a tie with 3,208,000 points for first prize.

And the fact that it was a tie makes me feel personally indebted to the 628 men and women who helped me. And while Capper's Weekly at 16 cents a year is amply worth the money, I feel that many of you subscribed for the same more to help a friend than for tbe paper, and I thank you for it, each and eyery one of you, for one subscription less would have lost me first prize. Now, since I have been clear through and fully realize what a person is up against, I would no.t advise any of my friends to get into a contest of this kind, but if you do 1 am ready to reciprocate. I also want to commend Gov. Capper and his contest manager, Mr.

Frantz, for the fair and impartial manner in which they conducted this contest, for none of the 180 contestants knew where they were at, until the votes were opened and counted February loth. We were present and witnessed the counting and when it was discovered Mrs. George Cooper of Moray, Kan sas, and myself were tied for first prize, without provocation, they awarded each of us the same. In conclusion, it seems to mo I will never forget our parting words when I called on you, and which came from practically every one of you, "I hope you wiJl win." Again personally thanking you. Truly and sincerely yours, A.

G. STEELE. Old Tres Found Which Produces Unique Fruit, and the Idea May Spread. Riverside, Cal. -The birthplace ot the seedless apple as well as the seedless orange is the latest claim to! distinction made by Riverside.

Last year P. T. Evans discovered an old tree which produced fruit which was absolutely seedless and coreless and of sweet and attractive taste. He had a number of buds removed and budded into nursery stock. One hundred and fifty of these budded trees are now ready for planting, and in order to give his discovery a thorough test Evans is arranging to distribute them without charge to various parts of the county to growers who wish to assist in the experiment.

The original tree, well cared for, has a good crop this year. GIVES UP AFTER FORTY YEARS Man Wanted for Murder Ccmmitted in Illinois 'in 1879 Surrenders in Louisiana. Springfield, 111.

HT HUB Government to Combat Spread of Disease.

Forest Service and Biological Survey Will Try to Stop Wave of Infection of Wild and Domestic Animals in West. "Washington. The department of agriculture is taking action through the biological survey and the forest service to combat a serious wave of rabies infection of wild and domestic animals that is in danger of becoming widespread in the far West. The fact that the extensive dissemination of the disease is. taking place through the agency of coyotes makes the situation a difficult one to meet.

Outbreaks of rabies among coyotes have been noted from time to time for several years in parts of Washington, Oregon and northern Idaho, and the forest service undertook last year to aid in bringing the disease under control ty employing hunters to make war on coyotes in the national forests of some infected localities. Since, however, the coyotes breed in the foothills and around the outskirts of the forests, a more comprehensive campaign is called for. The eradication of coyotes in sparsely settled or rough country is said to be an exceedingly difficult task. Inasmuch as these animals are always a source cf considerable losses to the live stock industry of the West, congress last year provided a special fund of $125,000 to be spent by the biological survey for the eradication of predatory both in the national forests and on the public do main, and from this fund a special allotment has now been made to provide for fighting the rabies. The disease first appeared in parts of eastern Oregon and Washington and northern Idaho, in a region surrounded by natural barriers which tended to confine the outbreak.

Domestic animals and human beings were bitten, and a good deal of alarm was manifested by residents of the infected districts, many of whom feared for the safety of their children on the roads to and from school. The disease ia now reported as having extended' into northern Nevada and northern California, whence it may easily be carried far. The forest service, the biological survey and the state board of health are working together to meet the situation in California. Modoc and Lassen counties have been put under quarantine by the state board, which has appointed forest rangers inspectors in Modoc county. Funds have been provided by the biological survey for the employment of additional men and the purchase of traps and poiscn.

The public will be enlisted In the campaign, which will be led by the biological survey officials and the forest rangers. ILL Fffi GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC POST No. 259, meets second and fourth Saturday a-fternoons each month. E. S.
