OutlR'ake Of Disease Local sheepmen are somewhat n-larmed n-larmed over the outbreak of Hem-morhaglc Hem-morhaglc septicemia,' or stockyard pneumonia. Dr. W. E. Thorpe, a lo' cil veterinarian, has been busy assisting as-sisting veterinarians from Juab Counfiy an vaccinating all sheep that have been exposed to this disease There are types of the disease, each working in a different, way. The vaccination however, immuinizes all animals from all the three types and '"nee it costs only 10 to 15 cents for vaccinating each animal, it is though t, that the outbreak will soon bi checked.

Cold Weather 1 On September 2 3 it was noticed that Mt. Timpan-ogos and the moun-' tains north, as well as the mountains in the Ashley Forest, had a good covering of snow" while the "mountains "moun-tains south of Provo Canyon on tha Uinta, Mt. Nebo, and the . Manti Forest For-est were visited -by rain and hail only. If the temperatures were any lower on the north Uinta, the Wasatch, Wa-satch, and the' Ashley Fores.ts than they were here on the Manti, the Forest users uip that way can with propriety sin.g, "Summer is gone and the days grow cold." Fish Planted The" Fai-view Fish & Game Protective Pro-tective club have this season planted 30 cans of brook trout -from the Federal Hatchery. Ten-cans of these fish were planted in Sanpi ch and 20 cans were -planted in Gooseberry Creek. During the last 3 0 days the State Hatchery, through Deputy Commissioner Poulaen, planted 30 cans of rain'bow trout in Lowei Birch Creek and Sanpitch, 30 cam-in cam-in Boulger, 30 can3 in Huntington Creek, 30 cans in the Beaver Dams, and 30 cans in Gooseberry. These plantirfrs, together with the plantings plant-ings made by Itie Huntington. Castle Dale, Manti, and Gunnison, clubs, hould insure good fishing in the majority ma-jority of our Manti forest streams. Road Work Progressing The. reconstruction- work on th.; Huntington Canyon Road is progressing progress-ing n-to-ely under the su.pe-rvison of William Hitchcock. A five mile sec-j sec-j tion has been completed and work l is being pushed on the other fiv.; i miles of the section on which work i is 'being done. j Ranger Anderson reports wor:k is progressing satisfactorily on the Mil- ,1 lers Flat. Road, however, due to the heavy and almost continuous rains ; during the past week, work was re tarded for two or three days. Owing to the unusual amount, of precipitation precipita-tion .this fail the soil is in excellent shape for road building.
