UTAH GETS
THE TRADE
OF The Southern Mining
Camps. hay and Grain
Landed Cheaper

For number OF years, in fact ever
since the discovery OF the camps OF
Tonopah and Goldneld this part OF the
state has had almost the entire sup
plying OF those camps with hay and
grain But the farmers have pushed
a good thing too far and tnis season
Will have to go to other markets TO
dispose OF their products.
Each year the price OF, farm pro
duce has increased and this year it
has about reached the limit. Sew
eral buyers from the southern coun-
Try have passed through this city IN
the past few weeks and gone into the
valley above after hay and grain fOr
the coming winter. in most cases
they have returned without placing
AN order owing to the eXhorbitant
prices demanded there. From here
tney have gone into Utah and now
trainloads OF hay and grain are being
sent into the southern camps from
that state.
There is no denying the fact that
the southern camps have been a
good market for this sort of produce
and the highest pric. S were paid IN
cash as soon as the material was
delivered. But with the tendency OF
the ranchers to boost the prices Ii
this section of the state they have
been compelled to go into the neigh
boring state after t4eir supply.

WINNEMUCCA, Aug. 27.-One
hundred Greeks employed by Nancy
Bros. and Company quit work on the
Western Pacific construction east of
Iron Point yesterday and came to
Winnemucca to get their pay at the
local Office of the company.
The Greeks were unable to speak a
word of English and did their bus
mess through the services of an in.
terpreter. They assigned no particu
lar cause for the strike except that
they had engaged to work with the
understanding that they should all
work together and that the contract
ors wanted to divide them up over
the work
The real cause of their quitting,
however, has been explained by a
prominent Western Pacific official in
Winnemucca as due to the interpre-
ter they have with them, who also
assumes the role of labor agitatOr.
This interpreter secures work for the
Greeks, and every time he lands a
job for them he draws 81 commission
from each man. When he gets them
work in one place he Immediately be
gins to look around for work in some
other place, and with this secured
he trumps up an excuse why they
should quit, and transfers them tC

A number of people Of this city
have contracted to use the hydro
carbon burner, more commonly
known as the Foss burner. The in
ventor of this process was in this
city a couple of weeks ago and had
many applications for burners to be
installed here. 1t was through this
gentleman that the rates on oil and
distellate were secured and this class
of fuel will be used by the people
who are to install the burners. 1t
is understood that the capitol com
missioners are going to give this
process a trial and the probabilities
are that Orphans Home, government
building and in fact all places where
steam heat is now used will be com
PEELED to install them if the landing
of coal into this section continues to
