THE INFLUENZA SITUATION
Disease as Developed in Eureka
Not of Violent Form and Is
Not Spreading as
Expected
The influenza patients in Eureka
families and those brought in from
the country during the week are all
reported to be getting along favor
ably and no deaths have occurred
here. The disease as developed here
is not in as violent form as is an
nounced from many other localities.
While the disease has not spread here
as it was expected it would, new
cases are being reported, and it is
thought some have not been report
ed. ,
Among the new cases in Eureka
announced during the weeks are:
Harry Eather, John Cardanelli, Mrs.
James Morrison and three-year-old
child, Mrs. Amelia Fletcher, two
children of Granville Fletcher, James
Rattazzi. /
Three of the W. R. Reynolds fam
ily are reported to have been down
with the disease.
The quarantine placed on the Span
ish Hotel in Eureka has been lifted by
County Health Officer Dr. Brennen,
who personally disinfected and fumi
gated the hotel. The two influenza
cases taken there have been removed
to a building on North Monroe street.
Four men in sheep camps at Deep
Wells, about 60 miles south of Eu
reka, were reported down with the
disease the first of the week.
Mrs. Dominick Cerutti and four
children are reported ill with the dis
ease at their ranch about 40 miles
west of Eureka.
Mrs. William Blair and daughter,
Miss Lizzie, are ill with the disease
at their home in Antelope Valley.
The trustees of the Eureka schools
have ordered them closed for another
week.
Conductor Will Hawkins last night
reported that there is now little or
no influenza in the north end of Eu
reka County.
The State Board of Education has
ordered that the December examin
ation for teachers’ certificates will
be omitted this year.
The Reveille believes that the epi
demic of influenza at Austin has been
broken.
The schools at Reno have again
been closed. Nine teachers are now
down with influenza, and the attend
ance the day before closing was only
a little over 50 per cent. The trus
tees issued a statement to the patrons
of the schools in which it said: “From
the best information we can get we
believe the number of influenza cases
in Reno is increasing. We believe
that the attendance at school causes
a part of this increase. Physicians
report that since the opening of the
schools the percentage of cases among
the children has greatly increased,
but we do not know the exact num
ber of cases of influenza.”
Twenty deaths were reported at
Ely last week with 200 cases in that
city.
Influenza has broken out among
the Indians at Elko and Ruby Valley
and many of them are sick, but no
deaths have been reported.

DEATH OF BASQUE SHEEPMEN
Stricken With Influenza Followed By
Pneumonia at Their Camp* and
Diaeaae Prove* Fatal
Three of the nine men, camp- ten
ders and sheep herders, who were
down with influenza in Antelope val
ley, as stated in last week’s Sentinel,
have since died. The bodies of two
of the men were brought into Eu
reka Monday evening and buried in
the Catholic cemetery the following
day. The news of the third man’s
death was brought into Eureka Fri
day night by Jack Stonelake. Rob
ert Kelley, accompanied by Stone
lake, left this morning to bring the
remains in for burial. Following
are the uames of the three Basque
sheepmen who died:
Jose Maria Unamuno, a native of
Spain, aged 19 years, died November
26. He had been herding sheep here
since his arrival in this country from
his native land. He was of a frugal
and saving disposition and is said to
have accumulated several thousand
dollars. At the time of his death he
was in the employ of Jose Mario
Anaindia.
Juan Louis Ardans, a native of
France, aged 34 years, died Novem
ber 29. He was a partner in the
sheep firm of Marcos Legarra&Com
pany. We understand he is not re
lated to the Ardan boys, brothers of
Mrs. Isadore Sara.
Filiciano Irarabal, a native of Spain,
aged 22 years, died December 6. He
has a brother living at Aberdeen,
Idaho, who has been notified by tele
gram of his death. Deceased was in
terested with Jose Maria Anaindia in
a band of sheep.
Death of Manuel Oecoz
M. Aguirre of Eureka received a
telegram Thursday from Jose Iri
barren at Reno stating that Manuel
Oscoz died in that city Wednesday
night.
Mr. Oscoz was a man well known in
Eureka and this section of Nevada,
where he has been engaged in the
sheep business for a number of
years. The cause of death was not
given, but it is thought influenza
caused his sudden end. He was a
man of large stature, vigorous and
strong, and his sudden passing is a
great surprise to his associates and
friends here. It is understood that
he was in Reno at this time to be
married.
TO DEVELOP ELKO OIL SHALE
Southern Pacific Railroad and Bureau of
Mine* Will Erect Large Experi
mental Plant
Winnemucca Star: Experiments
in the extraction of oil from the shale
beds near the town of Elko have been
in progress for some time past and
it is announced that operations in
this line and on a commercial scale
will be started by the Southern Pa
cific Company, assisted by the pe
troleum department of the bureau
of mines. A reduction plant with a
capacity of twenty-five tonsdaily will
be transported to this plant from
other ground owned by the railroad
company. It is reported that this
plant will cost approximately $20,000
and it is designed on the lines of
Scottish shale oil plants.
Another twenty-ton plant was built
last year for experimental purposes
by the Catlin Shale Company at a
point one mile south of Elko, and so
favorable were the results obtained
that this company is now building a
twenty-five ton plant, and it is said
that equipment will be provided to re
fine the oil produced there. Mana
ger Catlin has been experimenting
with the oil-bearing shales of this
region for the past ten years.
According to the Electrical World,
Glasgow, Scotland, has a suburb
without a single chimney. The
houses, which are of the bungalow
type are all completely equipped
with’electric heating, lighting and
cooking aparatus. This is said to
be the only settlement in the world
in which the use of fuel has been
entirely eliminated._
Fred W Noble, a prominent Nevada
sheepmen, died at Elko last Saturday
following an attack of influenza.

BRAZING FEES ADVANCE SHARPLY
Will Be Increased About 65 Per Cent,
Washington Adrices Sag
Salt Lake Tribune Dec. 3: Graz
ing fees in all National forests will be
advanced about 65 per cent, accord
ing to information received from
Washington last night, next year
over rates charged this year and last,
and will be exactly double the rates
that were in force in and prior to
1916. Announcement to this effect
was made by the Secretary of Agri
culture, who simultaneously an
nounced that, beginning next season,
five-year grazing permits will be is
sued where desired by stockmen and
where conditions permit.
Under the new schedule, all graz
ing fees are to be based on cattle
rates, which will vary from 8 cents
to a dollar and a half per head per
year-long period.
In Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana the rate on cattle for the full
year will range from one dollar to
one dollar and twenty cents. The rate
for sheep and goats will be 25 per
cent of the rate for cattle; horses will
be 25 per cent more than cattle, and
the swine rate will be 75 per cent of
the cattle rate. The old method of
computing proportionate changes for
grazing during only part of each year
will be followed, namely, 10 percent
of the yearly rate for each month.
Secretary Houston had intended
to raise grazing rates gradually, be
ginning in 1917 with a 33 1-3 percent
advance for that year, another third
the next year- and by 1919 put in ef
fect rates double those that pre
vailed in 1916, but disturbed condi
tions led the secretary to advance
rates only 25 per cent in 1917, since
which time there has been no fur
ther advance, because of war condi
tions.
The secretary has already begun is
surance of five-year permits, which
are subject to an annual reduction of
not more than 5 per cent to provide
for new settlers.
New Initiative Act
Talked of in Reno
That an initiative Act will be pro
posed in the next Legislature permit
ting the sale of light wines and beer
exclusively for family consumption
is the report that is being circulated
about Reno.
According to the story, many who
voted for the initiative Act will not
oppose the proposed law in case it
makes its appearance and if it pro
hibits the sale of liquor in saloons,
roadhouses and cabarets.
An initiative Act must be signed by
not less than 10 per cent of the total
number of electors voting for Justice
of the Supreme Court at the last
preceding election and must be pre
sented to the Legislature not less than
thirty days before the session con
venes.—Reno Gazette.
“Flu” Bad at Lovelock
The influenza situation at Lovelock
and Battle Mountain is very serious
and inability to secure sufficient
nurses to care for the sick is making
matters worse, according to urgent
telegrams received by William Wood
burn, United States District Attor
ney, from Rudolph Nenzel, secretary
of the Red Cross at Lovelock. Nen
zel has sent several messages to
Woodburn asking him to make ar
rangements to send nurses to the
two places as soon as possible. Wood
burn is using every effort to get the
required assistance, but is not meet
ing with success.
