IN A CRITICAL POINT
United States Will Not Stand
China's OilatOry Policy

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The ne
gotiations with China for a trade
treaty have reached critical phase.
growing out of the demand of the
United States and Japan for the open
ing of ports in Manchuria.
The Russian government has pro-
fessed to entertain no opposition to
this demand. but the Chinese COM
missioners now take the grounds that
the ports mentioned will be opened
to foreign trade in the future when
trade necessities require it. There
fore they propose to let this matter
in obeyance and conclude the trade
convention without this section.
The United States refuses to accept
the suggestion; Japan takes the same
position; the English influence lies in
that direction, and negotiations are
deadlocked pending the contrivance of
some means by the powers named to
bring some pressure upon the Chinese
government.

BEST IN THE WORLD
Alfalfa Grown in Nevada
Shipped to Atlantic Coast

The LovelocK Commercial company
last week shipped two more cars OF
alfalfa to Sheepshead Bay, New York.
This makes some ten or twelve cars
that have been sent back to the AT
lantic coast, three thousand miles
away, says the Lovelock Tribune.
There must be something very po-
tent in the alfalfa growth in this val
ley to make people come so far to
get. The hay is shipped back there
to feed young race horses and 1t has
been found that the Lovelock alfalfa
is the best there is. There is plenty
of alfalfa grown in the eastern state ;
but it has not the nutriment that this
dry mountain climate gives. Our cool
nights and dry warm days are peculi-
arly adapted to the maturing of this
plant, and our soil gives II all the food
il requires. There are places in Kan
sas where they cut four crops a year
and the first crop will far outweigh
ours. But ii has a tough and strlngv
growth and is not fed to horses. II
has not the sugar in ii that there is In
our alfalfa. The same conditions that
make the sugar beets here contain
more saccharine matter than anywhere
else in the world also make perfect
our alfalfa; and it is this quality that
makes the finest honey in the world.
Our valley will ever be prosperous
II 1t never grows anything but alfalfa

GRAMMAR GRADE GRADUATES
Pupils Who Will be in HiQh
School Next Year

This year for the first time in the
school, there is a graduating class
from the grammar grade-not gradu-
ates from the school. but from the
grammar grade into the high school.
This class is the second largest that
has ever gone from this department
into the high school, and no other
mas ever distanced it in thoroughness,
or been more deserving of the promo
ton. This, in the opinion of lne
teachers and principal, is true OF
every individual in the class. The
result of the examination, which, by
the way, was an unusually severe one,
has been a pleasant and gratifying
surprise to the teachers. Without an
exception the pupils have passed a
highly creditable examination, and
not one of them has received the
coveted promotion card with a condi-
ton attached thereto. Not only is this
true, but in addition to having COM
pleted in a satisfactory manner the
work of the grammar grade, the class
has credit of one years study in
two studies that are included in the
course of study in the high school
grade.
This condition reflects credit on the
teachers, and ii also shows that the
boys and girls have worked faith
fully and hard. and have aimed at
thoroughness; and the fact that they
have gone further than the ''law re-
quired," and gained a start ON next
years work is indicative of commend
able ambition. All Winnemucca is
proud of the public school here, but
no less of it's scholars.
The members of this industrious class
are: Irene Conkey. Mamie Brown.
Alma Giroux, .Flossie Pascal, Elena
Edison. Mable Bartlemay. Frank Fell
lows, Ralph Case, Frank Case. Arthur
Cochran, Harold Aldrich. Otto Delhi,
Charley Evans and Forest Bell.
