The ladies of our city got up
sewing bee and rummage party,
and taking several sewing machines
hied to the opera house which the
managers kindly let them use and
collected all the clothing and poor
children they thought in need and
spent the day in making and re-
pairing clothing which they kindly
donated to the deserving poor of
our city, and many poor little one
went away happy and warm who

Napoleon Bonaparte,--I think, is the
greatest man in the worlds history. He
was a short, heavily built man, rather
dull in appearance. Though many peo-
pie say he treated his wife ~cruelly. he
divorced her merely because of political
differences. When he preached the
subject OF divorce, Josephine fell down
to the floor and cried,

consul for FIVE years and tribune for
life. He defeated the two sons OF Pom

for life and his portrait stamped on the
coins of the realm. The % wounds
from which he died March Is, la, tell

STRANGER LIKES
OUR TOWN

During the time that the trains
were held up here last week on
account of the mud slides, it gave
the passengers a chance to look
over our town. There were several
business men among them who are
interested in the west, and after
looking over the city and finding
out what it's prospects are, they be-
came very much interested in
Whitefsh in particular. One OF
them made a deposit on an i'm
portant piece Of property here. He
has never been in the city before,
but had heard great deal about it
and came to the conclusion that he
could not make better investment
anywhere than in Whitefsh prop.

STOCK LOSSES EXAGGERATED
Prominent Cattleman Says Recent Re-
ports Injure Live Stock Interests

Prominent Cattleman Says Recent Re-
ports Injure Live Stock Interests
Elko Independent, January 26: George
Russell, president of the Russell Land
and Cattle Company. has just returned
from Battle Mountain, where he looked
into the condition of the stock on the
company's ranch. In an interview with
him this forenoon, he informed us that
owing to the Winter setting in so early
his company had been compelled to buy
700 tons of hay at Lovelock and had
shipped 1000 head of cattle there to eat
it. The purchase Of the hay aud the
shipping of the cattle was merely a pre-
c~autionary measure, as no one could tell
how long the Winter would hold on and
he did not propose to take the chances
Of running out of hay.
Asked as to the loss of stock in that
section, he said that Notwithstanding
the severity of the Winter the loss had
been slight among stock that were fed
and taken care of. The report that the
Dunphy estate had lost several thousand
head of cattle was not true.
In regard to sheep, Mr.. Russell said
that where there had been a heavy
snowfall and where sheep could not be
reached with feed, the loss would be
considerable, especially among lambs.
Most Of the sheep had been driven south
in the Fall, and reports from there were
favorable. The loss Of sheep will not
be nearly as great as reported at the
present time. Some sheepmen are ship.
ping in corn and hay, and where they
oan be reached sheep are being cared
for.
In speaking of conditions in this
county, Mr.. Russell said that the re-
ports Of heavy losses of cattle were
greatly exaggerated aud that the county
was being injured by them. That ON
account Of these reports buyers were
here offering IS a head for cattle. The
loss in this county, he said. where cattle
were fed and cared for, was nc greater
this Winter than usual.
The Independent has interviewed
cattlemen from different sections of the
county and all agree that where cattle
are being properly cared for the loss is
no greater than usual. There is nothing
in the reports that have come to this
office to justify any one in reporting
heavy losses of cattle or other stock. So
far as the situation has developed in
Eiko County, there is no cause for alarm
and there is no panic among the stock
men. 1t naturally follows that there
are no cattle for sale at panic prices in
Elko County.
