, QO &
eyers After Barber Asphalt.

Byers After Barber Asphalt.
Attorney General H. w. Byers has
started suit against the Barber
Asphalt company in the name of the
state of Iowa for $1S1.415, alleging
violation of the state foreign corpor.
alton laws.
The grounds for the suit are prac.
tically the same as those set forth in
the million dollar suit brought by the
state against the Western Union
Telegraph company for failure to pay
filing fee, and the penalty imposed
by law for the failure.
The state claims that the Barber
Asphalt company is a foreign corpor-
alton, having it's head offices in Phila-
delphia. The authorized capital OF
he company is $3,90O,OOO, it is al.
legged
The Barber Asphalt company began
to do business in Iowa in 1905, so
it is alleged, and has never paid the
customary filing fee or S25 for tho
first $4,000 of the capital stock and
81 for each additional $1,000 of the
capital. The state asks the payment,
therefore, of a filing fee of $3,915.
The penalty for failure to file articles
OF Incorporation and for operating in
the state without permit has been
fixed by law at 500 for each day..
The Barber company has been operat-
ing in Iowa since 1903, or 1,775 days,
making the total penalty $177,5OO.,
This, coupled with the 1895 claimed
as filing fee, makes $1S1,415 the total
amount demanded by the state.
Another Lodge Suit Looms Up.
Another half million dollar suit
was started in the local courts when
the grand lodge of the Ancient Order
of Workmen of Wisconsin filed a petit.
ton in the district court, charging
the supreme lodge of the order with
various offenses and demanding a sum
of 1927 ,9S7.75, and that the lodge pay
claims amounting to $63,966.
The contention of the state lodge
is that the supreme lodge of the
order has made away with it's guar
antee fund of $427,97875 and that the
supreme lodge has failed to pay legiti
mate claims to the amount of $685.
This demand is made through
contract the state lodge is alleged to
have with the supreme lodge which
makes the latter responsible for all
Indebtedness incurred by any sub.
ordinate lodge, so that when bank
rupt proceedings were started against
the state lodge in 1907 the Wisconsin
lodge says that the supreme lodge
should have protected 1t.
Attorneys Burke Alexander &
Burke, and r. l.. Parish, representing
the Fidelity Trust Co., as trustee
for the Wisconsin lodge, appear in
the case.

Carroll Saloons Must Close.

Carroll Saloons Must Close.
Des Moines.-Attorney General
Byers is in correspondence with Cocn-
ty Attorney e. A. Wissler of Carroll
county with respect to the enforce
ment of the laws in that Jurisdiction
and has directed Injunction proceed
ings to close the saloons.
Mr.. Wissler says that he is pre-
pared to do his duty If proper com.
plants are filed and has put two sa-
looms out of business in the past
year.
The first letter of the series was
written by General Byers under date
or July Z. In it he called Mr.. Wiss-
ler's attention to the fact that several
complaints had been filed with the
attorney general about the manner
in which the saloons of Carroll coun-
ty and the city of Carroll are being
orerated". One of these was EN-.
bodied in letter in which it was
said: Some saloons run open on Sun
day, some are running with two
doors, on Decoration day every saloon
of two In addition on July 6 per-
sons visited the Office of the attorney
general claiming that the saloons ran
open in Carroll on July 4.
IF these things are true" said Gen.
eral Byers to County Attorney Wiss
Ter, Il am sure that you have not
had your attention called to them and
am writing so that you may look
into the matter at once and take such
steps as are necessary to see that
the mulct law is enforced in your city
and county,"
In replying to this letter. Mr.. Wiss-
Ter said he did not believe that any
or the saloons had run on Sunday,
but that he had been informed that
they were open on the 4th of July,
and the violation would be taken be-
fore the grand jury at its next SEES
sion.
To this the attorney general replied
that it was the duty of the attorney
to proceed against the saloons at
once, mot only through the grand
jury, but by injunction proceedings"
Many Big Suits Filed.
Suits amounting to over a million
and a half dollars have been filed in
the Polk county district court within
a week. The exact inquire is $1,656,-
965, which does not include scores of
small suits of $500 and less.
The record day OF the eight was
Saturday, July II, when Attorney
General Byers sprung a sensation by
filing suit for nearly a million dol
lars against the Western Union Tele-
graph company, alleging violation of
the foreign corporation laws as re-
CARDS the proper filing of articles of
incorporation and securing of per-
nit to operate in the state.
The next largest day in point of
money involved and the largest in
number of suits filed was Tuesday,
July IA. On that day five suits were
started, the highest for s1S1,415 and
the lowest for $1,000. The aggregate
of the days actions amounted 10 S24S,-
465.

Elko Couaiy's Mineral Resources

An option has been given by w. D.
Higginbotham and ]: j. Hyltop to w.
81. Tibbals, broker of Salt Lake City,
and member of the governing board of
the Salt Lake City stock exchange, on the
property of the White Rock Mining
Company, in the Bull Run range of
mountains, about 100 miles north of
Elko. While no figures are given, it. is
understood that the purchase price is
around $4,000. H. Wisener Hammond,
the mining engineer of Boston, who is
making Elko his temporary headquar-
tiers, when interviewed regarding the
matter stated:
Yes, it is true examined the min
ing property of Hylton and Higginboth-
am, and advised its purchase I further
wish to say that in all my fourteen
years experience in examining mines,
in California, Nevada and Utah, with
four years in Old Mexico, I have never
met two better and more intelligent
men to do business with than Messrs
Higginbotham and Hylton. If Elko
county had few more citizens as
enterprising, especially i'll mining mat
tiers, there would be more money in
vested in Elko county.
II find the mineral resources of
northern Ellko county, and at Gold
Circle sufficient to make several new
'Goldtields', and the great mineralized
belt at Contact would make u second,
and even better Butte, if developed on
sufficient capital, which eventually will
be furnished from the east. If the citi-
zens of Elko county would invest half of
the money in their own sounty mineral
resources that they have spent in buying
mining stock of inflated values in other
camps. the financial results personally
to themselves, not to speak of the help
to Elko county, would be too great for
me to even outline just now"

The State Farm

Professor s. B. Doten of the Univers.
lty of Nevada returned Wednesday
evening from the State Experiment
Farm at Logan in Lincoln county.
He states that the farm has made
much progress during the last two years
and that it is now in shape for q long
course of profitable experimental work.
A new two story house of cement blocks
OF eight rooms and a basement with
bath and modern plumbing was built
last summer. The whole farm is now
nnder fence and ditch and most of the
land is uuder cultivation
Anyone not informed as to the
peculiar climatic conditions of south
eastern Nevada would be surprised at
the midwinter beauty of the country
surrounding the farm. There is snow
in sight on the distant mountains, but
none in, the Muddy Valley. In the
valley there has been enough frost to
stop plant growth for the winter, but
not enough to freeze the ground, and
spring blowing is now in progress all
over the valley.
Along the river stretch a series of
fields alternating with patches of I'M
cleaned brush-land all dotted here and
there with great cottonwoods many of
which stand green as in midsummer in
the midst of green fields of wheat or
oats
The Muddy Valley and the adjcent
lands along the Virgin River are des-
tined to be the richest agricultural
region in Nevada for there is no such
soil or climate in any other part of the
state. On the Station Farm at Logan
last summer the Superintendent, Chas.
Arney had u garden patch whose crops
were so varied that list of them
would astonish farmer of the colder
northern part of Nevada. Side by side
with corn, pumpkins, and cucumbers
grew peanuts, Spanish peppers and
sweet potatoes; here row of lettuce,
there one of olzra; here cabbage, there
cotton. Beyond the patch of garden
stuff, Il young orchard showed an
equally curious mixture; rows of apple
trees alternating with figs; in one row,
choice table grapes; in the next plums
or pears or pomegranates. All this
goes to show the variety OF products
grown in Lincoln county. AS to the
quality, it is of interest to note that of
thirty-five products exhibited last Sep
tember in the Reno. State Fair, twenty
four took first prizes, and the exhibition
took the first prize, silver medal, fol
horticulture.
The Salt Lake, Los Angeles and Sar
Pedro road plans to put spur dowr
through the Muddy Valley to Rioville
on the Colorado, 1t will prove to bt
the most profitable section on their rail
road; for with the transportation
problem solved southeastern Nevada
will develop in a few years to her full
productiveness and that full productive
ness will mean an immense traffic in or,
and salt and in all the varied product
of field and garden.

Bloodhounds Find the Body.

Spokane, WASH, Nov. Sam and
Brady, four year old Cuban blood
hounds, owned by Harry MeDermott,
of Spokane, followed a seven days
old scent more than 10 hours and
found the body of Fred K%loeber, on
Rooster Comb mountain, near Green
river, southwest Of Spokane. Kloeber
and M. Kumle, formerly chef in a
Spokane hotel, were caught in q
blizzard in the hills 10 days ago
and persisted. Kloeber evidently
stumbled v a fallen tree and was
frozen before he could him
self. McDermott's dogs have figured
in more than 400 cases in the north
west, the most important being the
running down of four safe blowers
at Asotin, Wash, who had 10 hours
start. They also freed Frank Smith,
a desperate of the Harry Tracy type,
who escaped from the penitentiary
at Salem, Ore, taking up the scent
when 1T was thirty-siX hours old, and
they cleared up the mystery of a
murder at Medical Lake, Wash, when
an innocent man was suspected of the
crime.
