Week From Henry Bechtel

letti purchased the McDougall ranch in
Newark Valley, White Pine County.
from Henry Bechtel. Both Of the above
parties were 10 town several days, and
the trade was concluded on Tuesday.
The consideration was moi learned.
The Ely Expositor of March 25 has
the following regarding q court order
arranging for transferring the portion
of the McDougall ranch owned by
Willie Thomas, q minor to Henry
Bschtel:
w. B. Graham, guardian Of Willie
Thomas, was authorized in the District
Court this afternoon to dispose Of a 4.
half interest In the McDougall ranch In
Newark Valley. aggregating $50 acres
Two other small tracts OF land are also
included in the order Of sale.
1t 10 understood that the interest OF
the minor in the McDougall ranch will
be purchased by Henry Bechtel. who is
married to Mrs. James McDougall.
The consideration Is said to be In the
neighborhood Of si400.
1t was demonstrated to the satisfac-
ton Of the court that the sale would
be beneficial to Young Thomas. A
partition of the land would not
be ~expedient because the character OF
the land is such hat 1t possesses little
value except for pasturage.

and divided into two squads. One
will work every other week while
the other is at classes. The men,
bers of the squad will be paid from
rs cents to s1.00 per day.
In this way skillful farm labor
will be secured for the college and
at the same til, some worthy boys
will ibe enabled TO prepare themselves
for farming. Only hoys who have
had experience on the farm and in
tend to become farmers will be al
lowed this privilege. A knowledge
of reading, writing and arithmetic
Is the only scholastic requirement
necessary. Any boy interested in
this plan write to President Riggs,
