STOVES PRELIMINARY
EXAMINATION IN PROGRESS
State Expects to Present Strong Pfind Fdi Case Against
National (ompdys Former BNkkeepd

Thayer, r. s. Bolam, J. l.. Workman,
Clerk Trousdale and John E. Pelton, all
of whom were called by the State. The
defense also summoned the first four
witnesses and George S. Pelton, Sec
retary of the National Mining Com
pany of Nevada, and a deputy sheriff
left for National by auto yesterday to
bring the last named gentlemen in
Up to noon adjournment but little
progress had been made in the taking
of testimony, owing to the stubborn
fight put up by defendants counsel,
and it is expected that the case will
take up the balance Of the week.
1t is reported that the State will at
tempt to prove that the defendant,
who for some time had been in the en-
ploy of the company at National, dur
ing the latter part of last August, left
the camp with two large suit cases, and
was brought to Winnemucca by Wit
ness Chrisman. That he went from
here to Seattle, where he stopped at the
Hotel Cecil and exhibited the contents
of the suitcases, said to have contained
high grade ore, to Witness Block, chief
clerk at the hotel. That he took the
ore to Boise, Idaho, where he had it
run into gold bricks by an assayer,
Witness Grice, of whom he inquired
where he could sell same. That at the
latter's direction he took the gold
across the street to the government
assay Office, where he sold the bullion
to Witness Farr, chief clerk in the
government assay Office at Boise, to
whom Stowe gave a receipt for the
money.
Should the State prove the above
facts it will undoubtedly have pre-
sented strong prima facie case. All
the evidence has been gathered by E.
E. Thayer, an eminent Reno detective,
who swore to the warrant and is pres
ent at the trial in the capacity of wit
ness for the State

This morning the first load of lumber
for the new cyanide plant to be built
at the old Paradise mine was started
out, and G. w. Culton is loading his

A company composed of C. NJ.
Reynolds, Harry Muma, Felix Poulin
and Joe Remusat has been formed to
erect cyanide plant for the purpose
of handling the $4,000 or 10000 tons

County hoads In Bad shape.

j. r. Wentworth, who arrived from
Goldbanks yesterday, reports the road
nearly impassaole, with gulleys in
places four feet deep. He had so hard
time in getting through that he will
not attempt the return trip for some
days.
C. w. Culton, who arrived yesterday
from DEMO, reports the roads in the
worst condition he has ever seen them.
He was two days in making the four

Springs, and at one time had seven
mules mired all at once.
Haviland & Hoskins have succeeded
in running their Paradise stage prac-

Yesterday morning at 10 o'clock was
the hour set for the preliminary ex
animation of A. w. Stowe, the young
man recently extradited from Seattle
no charge of having stolen quanti
ty of high-grade ore, the property of
the National Mining Company of Ne.
vada.
The defendant, with his counsel, P
A. McCarron, was on hand, as also
were all the witnesses from National
and elsewhere, with the exception of
two who had been summoned from
Boise, Idaho, and were passengers on
delayed No. 3. The case was accord
ingly postponed until 1:30 yesterday
afternoon, at which time a further con-
tinuance was taken until 10 O'Clock
this morning.
At 10 O'Clock this morning, both
sides declaring themselves to be in
readiness, the preliminary examination
commenced. Defendant Stowe was rep
resented by p. A. McCarron, while
District Attorney Ducker conducted the
prosecution, assisted by Attorney L.
G.. Campbell, vicepresident of the Ma
tional Mining Company of Nevada. An

was present, Mrs. Davenport acting in
the capacity of official eouprt reporter,
while Mrs Shewalter, Judge Pixies of
fetal court reporter, took notes for At
torney McCarron. Miss Pauline
Schmidt, who recently returned from
attending a shorthand school at San
Francisco, also took notes, presumably
for the practice. A good-sized crowd
was in attendance, but the audience
was not nearly half as large as the one
recently attracted to Judge Robins

NOVEL PLAN FOR
FEMALE SUFFRAGE
(Contributed.l

| Yesterday was Women's day
throughout the United States. 1t
was a day of discussion, schem-
ing and resoluting to determine
the surest and speediest way women
may attain the right to vote, sit on
juries and participate in riots upon an
equality with men. There is no ques
tion but limited franchise should be
granted women, until it could be de-
termined whether or not to grant full
rights. The following is called by its
author the Nevada plan, and it looks
perfectly safe and feasible:
1t is a well-known fact that thous-
ands of men, qualified voters, take but
little interest in voting. Unless some
thing very important is to be decided
remain away from the polls. Some even
neglect to register. This is proven by
the records. Often we read that "there
was very heavy vote,o or Every
light vote'' polled. There are many
Democrats who haven't voted for
years, for want of some worthy candi-
date to vote for, who would have some
show of being elected, and so it goes.
The Nevada plan is to allow voting
by proxy. That is, if the husband is
careless or Indifferent about voting his
wife shall have the right to cast the
vote. If the man is unmarried, he shall
have the right to delegate his proxy to
some woman, but no woman shall vote
more than one proxy. The proxy shall
be in the form of card, issued to any
competent voter, by the board Of regis
trations, which shall contain date of
election, name and address of the
voter, age nationality, etc, and his
registration number. When this card
is voted it must be punched at the
proper place, marked voted. On the re-
verse side should be printed blank
for filling out the proxy. If it is the
wife, write in the word "wife,' and
the address on front of card is sufi-
cient. If not wife, the name of
proxy, address and full Identification
should be filed in on the card. When
voted, it should be properly punched
and recorded, which completes the
record.
By the "Nevada plan' the total
number of voters are not increased,
but it insures full vote at every
election. 1t goes without saying that
if the ladies get onto their occupation
this Nevada plan is equal to about
what they are fighting for. If
they cannot in this way control the
election there will be no use present
ing each with little vote of their own
to use only when the spirit moves
them. In one way the Nevada plan is
better for women than a general fran
chise. Where women and men have
each vote one must Offset the other.
Under the Nevada plan there is but
one set of voters and if the women are
very good and sweet, also diplomatic,
it is possible for them to secure aa ev-
cry election 55 to 80 per cent of all
the votes cast, as they would have the
men corraled and helpless. One elec-
tion would make them solid. In about
three elections they could disfranehise
the men and pass a universal merger
law permitting women to propose and
making it felony for man to refuse
to marry, with severe fine, imprison-
ment or both, to be determined by a
female jury.

UNIQUE PLAN FOR
HEATING ORCHARDS

IL. II. burley, general passenger
agent Of the Oregon Short Line, ha,
issued a pamphlet on "orchard heat
ing," to overcome late spring frosts
which embodies the results of exten
sive experiments which have beer
made along the line of his road. A,
late frosts are the most serious draw
back to the successful cultivation OF
fruit in Humboldt county, the follow
ing extracts from the book will nc
doubt be read with interest by oul
ranchers:
Principles Of Orchard Heating.
l. The appliance for heating must
be simple, easily controlled and adjust
ed, and capable of quick application.
2. The object is not to raise the
temperature in the orchard, but tc
maintain it. 1t is agreed that it is
much easier to maintain a safe tenn
perature in the orchard, with falling
temperature outside, than to raise the
temperature after it has declined.
3. The danger period covers the
time from the first swelling of the
bud to six weeks, making allowances
for the different varieties and the
variation in time of blooming.
4. Heating appliances should be
placed in position in the orchard at the
first indication of swelling buds, pro.
vided with fuel and be ready to fire
at a moment s notice. In cases where
there are no trees or other windbreak
on the windward side of the orchard
double row Of pots should be placed
slightly to the outside of the outer
row of trees, as a safeguard against
the DETECTION of the heat waves by
passing wind currents.
The average danger point is thirty
degrees, but when the temperature is
falling it is best to start the fires when
thirty four, and regulate the fires to
the temperature.
5. Each orchard should be provided
with number of tested thermometers,
which should be hung at an elevation
of about four and a half feet from
the ground. One or two thermometers
should be hung outside of the heated
AREA 10 Sufue the HTeHtn as 10 ACTUAL
conditions around the orchard.
6. The heaters should be so con.
structed as to provide an adequate sup
ply of fuel for seven to ten hours
burning. Oil pots should have a
capacity of from two to three gallons
of oil or there should be enough un-
lighted pots in reserve to provide for
every contingency. The critical time
is usually just before sunrise in the
morning, and there must be certainty
of ample fuel left for that time. The
greater the capacity Of the heater, the
fewer will be required per acre.
Z. Eternal watehfulness is the price
of success in orchard heating. Take
no chances, but when the temperature
is going down and is reaching towards
the danger point, light up. Do not
trust patent thermostats with electric
bells. When there is danger in the
air keep yenr eye ep the Thermometer
and be ready for quick work.
Cost of Heating.
Estimated on cost of equipment fer
ten acres of orchard with supply of oily
for eight nights:
500 heaters at As cents each. -. 1925
Two l200-gal. storage tanks $50. 100
Wagon tank and oil ...r..... 55

TRUCK GROWERS TO ORGANIZE.

We notice that the farmers of this
community are planning to hold a
meeting next Saturday, July 23, for
the purpose of organizing a truck
growers association. We are in
formed that Hon. Harry D. Wilson
of Roseland, La, will be present to
deliver an address on the subject of
truck growing and dairying. We
presume that there will also be other
speakers who will talk along the
same lines. We earnestly hope that
all of the farmers and business men
of the town and surrounding COM
munity will come out and hear what
our friend Wilson of Tangipahoa
Parish has to say, for we know that
he will talk from experience.
Mr.. Wilson is farmer himself,
and has made great success of
Roseland, La. He is the present
truck growing near Roseland,
Louisiana. He is the present
Representative of Tangipahoa Par
ish, but he has been known to the
people of the State of Louisiana for
many years. He is the man who in
troduced into our Legislature the
bill which resulted in the "Jim
Grow" law. He has led many fights
in the House of Representatives in
the cause of good government. He
is leader in he truck growing bus
mess and we believe that his advice
and assistance will be of great benefit
to those who come out to hear him.
