[[underline]] To Hazen & Fallon [[/underline]]. 

[[underline]] Nov. 14 [[/underline]]. The 6:40 A.M. train did not come until about 11 A.M., so I wrote on report and examined a big field close to town that is full of Microtus. Also talked with one of the county commissioners who owned the field and who told me that the mice were just as bad to where the [[strikethrough]] f [[/strikethrough]] valley narrows up 5 or 6 miles north east of Lovelock. He also said they were reported as numerous at Cosgrove and in the valley north of Winnemucca. He said a few of his apple trees had been girdled and killed and he was afraid more would be killed during the winter.

Reached Hazen about noon and Fallon about 2 P.M. and went to the Hotel Fallon. Telephoned Mr. Means but was not able to see him.
