EUREKA. NEVADA MARCH 26 1911
THE JARB|DGE SHOOTING
Byrne Was Killed In Townlot
Dispute Resulting From a
Forester's Order

The dispute at Jarbidge last week
which led to tragedy had its inception
in what some arrivals from the camp
are inclined to regard as a blunder on
the part Of forestry officials. A town.
site was laid out in Jarbidge upon
ground which had been located as min
ing claims. No attempt was made to
sell lots-the camp being within Q for
est reserve-but persons were given the
right to occupy the ground by taking
mining leases made out in the regular
form.
When the Forest Supervisor at Elko
learned that townsite had been laid
out. he sent a Ranger. O. L. Buckley.
to the camp to investigate. After Buck
ley had reported his finding to the
Supervisor. he was instructed, 90 he al.
legged. to throw the townsite open to
squatters. This aroused the indigna-
tion of the townsite people and OF the
persons who had paid for leases ON the
ground. An indignation meeting was
held on Friday, when considerable feel
ing was exhibited. There were several
displays Of firearms, but no open hos
tilities resulted at the time.
Byrne and several of his friends were
on their way to their tent that night
when they discovered squatter's wick.
iup on lot claimed by Byrne. The
wickiup was thrown of the lot by
Byrne. Occupants of q nearby tent,
including Miller. saw the action and
commanded Byrne to desist. Byrne
fired two shots from q revolver-his
friends say with the purpose only of
frightening the Miller party-then took
refuge behind large rock.
Miller emerged from his tent with q
rife, took aim at the rock, and when he
saw Byrne's head lifted above it, fred,
the bullet penetrating Byrne's fore
head.
Following the impromptu inquest, the
body Of Byrne was taken to Twin Falls,
where lives his mother and sister. He
was 81 years old and was popular with
his acquaintances.

The Price of Butter.

The discussion given to the subject
of cost Of living has been directing
more or less attention to the federal
oleomargarine tax and the price of
butter. People who are in favor of
repeating the present oleomargarine
law haye taken advantage of the sit
uation to loudly condemn as undem-
ocratic and un-American" this burd-
ensome tax on pure, wholesome
and nutritious food product.
They conveniently forgot to ex-
plain that all oyer 81 per cent of
the oleomargarine put upon the mar
ket is taxed at only one forth cent
per pound. They do not explain
that only that oleomsrgarine that is
artificially colored is taxed at ten
cents per pound.
Even if it were all taxed at ten
cents per pound it would have abso-
lutely nothing to do with the price
of butter after the latter reaches
thirty cents pound retail, 1t costs
about fourteen cents pound to pro-
duce the very best grade of oleomar-
CINE. Add to this a ten cent tax
and the cost of production would he
twenty-four cents. The product
could be retailed at thirty cents at a
handsome profit to manufacturer
and retailer.
Looking at the question from any
view point it is clealy seen that the
oleomargarine law has absolutely
nothing to do with the price of but
ter.
The dairy interests of the country
are not enjoying any benefit through
oleomargarine legislation except as
the integrity of the industry is main
tanned. In this every honest citizen
should feel keen interest. He
should also understand that the eff
fort put forth by the manufacturers
of oleomargarine to secure legisla-
