DOG QUARANTINE. 



An outbreak of distemper at the Quarantine Station resulted 

 in the loss of one valuable dog, while the further spread of the 

 disease was checked by the prompt application of distemper vac- 

 cine to all the young dogs on the premises. Without access to 

 this preventive treatment, losses would undoubtedly have been 

 much larger. 



The wire fencing for the new kennels has not yet arrived, but 

 plans and specifications are ready for pushing the work as soon 

 as this material is received. 



Respectfully submitted, 



Victor A. Norgaard, 

 Territorial Veterinarian.
