HAY IS IN
DEMAND
And California May De-
pend on Nevada
for Supply.

1t is declarei that California is fa,-
ing the most serious h,s :amincrv.r
known in that State s.. "a. Nevada
will undoubtedly be called upon to
come to her relief. 1t is further de-
clared that this famine is due not
alone to the shortage of crop, but to a
manipulation of the market controlled
by certain large dealers of the pro-
duct
The price of this commodity has
consequently gone soaring so high
that, according to the San Francisco
Hay Association, there is probabii-
ity that all the horses and cattle in
rations, and then not preventing the
entire supply of hay giving out by
next March with prices much higher.
While the average price of hay in
California at this season Of the year
is from SIS to SIS ton, the present
price is $22, with indications of a
steady rise, making the situation a
grave one. 1t is anticipated that the
quotation will be at least $26 within
a week.
The crop of hay in Nevada is large
this year and inquiries have already
reached local dealers regarding cost
of the product laid down at the coast.
1t is stated that if the consumption
for the coming six months Is
as low as two-thirds of last years,
which there is no reason to believe,
it will take every available ton of
hay in California, besides all that can
be bought at the present figure in
Nevada, to run the market until next
May. leaving the State bare at that
time.
The short'Ee this year is reported

given tonight.
The opera house was crowded to
the ioors last night and from the rise
TO the fall of the curtain there was
something doing all the time.
The scene is at the presidiO of
military camp and the. soldiers that
greeted the eye were good to look up
on. General Bang as portryed by
Rose Stewart was fine and Mayme
Berning as Captain Bing was the
proper thing. ,Cathryn Muller as Ca
act Gushing made good as usual. Miss
Mabel Stewart as aIToness Van Book

earned the tumultuous applause that
c''owed her singing. Columbia was

LUMsDEN FOUND GUILTY.
Court-Martial Recommends Dis
missal From His Ship.

PORTSMOUTH,, England. June IL
After a long consideration today the
naval court martial into the loss of the
British cruiser Gladiator. as a result OF
her collision with the American liner St.
Paul last April. found that Capt. Lums-
den had hazarded his ship by default
but not by neglect. and adjudged him to
be reprimanded and dismissed from his
ship.
Capt. Lumsden. who was charged with
placing his ship In hazard. testified that
he found the Gladiator unnavigable at a
speed of six knots; therefore the speed of
nine at which she was going before the
collision, was necessary to enable the
Gladiator to clear another vessel which
was approaching at the same speed
When the st. Paul was sighted Capt.
Lumsden declared she appeared to be
heading direct toward the Gladiator. His
turn to port would have carried the Glad
iator out of the liners track had the ST.
Paul reversed her helm instead of keep
ing hard to port. He considered the
liners speed unjustifiable and commended
that the st. Paul should have sounded
earlier warning signals.

was a great impetus given to the use OF
the flag by the order Of PRESIDENT Harri-
