The disease first appeared in parts of eastern Oregon and 

 Washington and northern Idaho, in a region surrounded by nat- 

 ural 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 is 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 Califor- 

 nia. Modoc and Lassen counties have been put under quarantine 

 by the state board, which has appointed forest rangers inspec- 

 tors in Modoc county. Funds have been provided by the biologi- 

 cal survey for the employment of additional men and the pur- 

 chase of traps and poison. The public will be enlisted in the 

 campaign, which will be led by the biological survey ofiicials and 

 the forest rangers.
