yer State, Mr.. Gould expressed himself
as much impressed with the evidences
of prosperity to be seen in Winnmue-
ca and said many kind words regard
ing our little city. When asked con-
cerning the business outlook through
out the country at large, Mr.. Gould re-
piled:
Business generally throughout the
country is in splendid condition and
there is not as much as a shadow of a
cloud to be seen on the financial horiz-
on. We look forward to several months
of unprecedented prosperity, which
should last well into next year. 1t
has long been the rule in this country
for business to slump off to some ex-
tent during presidential campaign,
and it is probable that next year will
prove no exception to this rule

three primary laterals aggregating 200
miles and 1000 miles of distributing
laterals. The project includes also
five miles of tunnels, large storage res
ervoirs, dams and weirs. Four thous-
and second feet of water will be re-
quired to cover the acreage. The land

SEARCHING FOR
HYBRID WHEATS
Especial to the silver state.)

Especial to the Silver State.)
SPOKANE, WASH, Oct. 2S.--.Scientists
Of prominence ar esearching the grain
belts of the Pacific slope and intr-
mountain country to secure proper
consort for Queen Blustem, the royal
wheat of the Inland Empire and the
northwest. The success of the quest
will mean millions of dollars annually
to farmers in the western country.
The grain is higher in proportion than
other wheats; it makes more flour be-
cause of increased gluten values; con-
sequently, it sells at from two to four
cents more than the next best varie-
ties.
Turkey Red wheat has been com.
bined with Bluestem at the experiment
station farm in connection with the
Washington state college at Pullman,
and produced this year so bushels per
acre. The milling qualities are high,
the only drawback being that the
wheat is dark.
Bluestem is not as prolific in yield
as Red Russian or the hybrid wheats,
which produce from 25 to 40 bushels
per acre. Eighteen to 25 bushels an
acre has been made in the Big Bend
district, west of Spokane. where, if it
can be used in hybrid, the production
would be increased from 100000 to
100000 bushels annually.
Professor Olson, who originated the
new hybrid. called Turkey -Bluestem,
and exhibited specimens at recent
fairs, has not distributed any Of the
seed to farmers, as other tests are to
be made. This also is true of scores
of other new hybrids developed at the
state college.
&c Few persons in the cities realize
the Importance of the wheat and other
Investigations carried on by expert
ment stations, said Arthur Wonsetler,
"but the farmers of the west are
watching the work with interest. just
as the advantageous union promotes
the welfare of the nations concerned so
the proper mating of the varieties Of
wheats will benefit not only the peo-
pipe of the northwest, but all over
America.

TRAINER CASE TO
BE SET FOR TRIAL

Acting upon the recommendation of
the grand jury yesterday afternoon
District Attorney Callahan made appli-
cation to Judge Ducker to have j..
Frank Tramner returned from the
penitentiary, in order that his trial
may be set on Indictment No. 2, which
charges him with the murder of Mrs.
Quilici, at Inlay, last January. The
motion was granted and an order made
to that effect.
TRAINER is at present serving a life
sentence in the penitentiary for the
murder of Jean Quilici, having been
convicted of murder in the first degree
in Washoe county, upon change of
venue from this county. 1t is probable
that his attorneys will ask for another
change of venue when he is arraigned
in court on the second Indictment.

PROGRESS OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE
IN THE UNITED STATES

Let us call the roll of the states
which give the ballot to women on the
same conditions as to men: Wyoming,
Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Washington,
California. This is the order in which
these states made the new departure.
Wyoming had equal suffrage from the
beginning of its territorial days, back
in 1869. Utah, too, had il for while
during the Mormon regime in the ter
ritorial era, but in the conflict with
polygamy congress took the ballot
away from the women. From 1896 nm
til 1910 the four states first mentioned
were the only ones in which women
had the same privileges as men at the
ballot box. the latter Ivear Washing
ton joined this list And now Califor-
MIA writes its name on the equal
suffrage roll.
Thus the suffragists have just made
the largest single conquest in all their
career. California is much more than
twice as populous as the biggest of the
other states which gives the ballot to
women And the state next on he
roll. Washington, was won less than a
year ago. The suffragists have now
more than an eighth of all he states.
Most of those staes are small in mum
Der of Inhabitants. Combined, how
ever. they comprise nearly one-seven-
teenth of the population of the coun-
try. In 1910 woman suffrage was vot-
ed upon in Oregon, South Dakota, Ok
lahoma, New Mexico, Arizona and
Washington, but it was rejected in all
those communities except Washington.
Another attempt to gain this privilege
will be voted upon. by all those com
munities in the next election.
In about two-thirds Of the states,
most of them being in the west.
women are permitted to vote on school
matters. The movement for enfran-
chisement for them is proceeding Wig
orously in several European countries.
Women can vote for all officials in
Great Britain except for members OF
parliament. They have a limited suf-
frage in France, as well as in many of
the provinces of the Dominion of Can
ada. Norway allows them vote for
parliamentary members. In the Isle of
MN. Australia, New Zealand. Iceland
and Finland they have full suffrage, as
in the six American states here men
toned. The agitation for equal suf-
f~age for women began in the United
States sixty years ago, but the slavery
issue, tn eCivil war and reconstruction
pusN ed it into the background for
MANY years. In the United States,
as we'll as abroad, however, it has won
some notable triumphs in recent times.

valued at nearly $7,50o,o00 was re-
covered.
The gold of tn charger channels is
about the size of flaxseed, the largest
nuggets having been found either
within or near quartz veins. OF these
the largest was procured at Carson
hill and weighed 195 pounds Troy.
In general the channels yield from $40
to $500 to the linear foot, which may
be compared with 800 a foot at
Nome, Alaska. $3.50 in the White chan
mel in Klondike, and $440 to $1,293 in
the Berry drift mines in Victoria, Aus
tralia.
The total output of gold in Califor-
MIA is estimated at 81 200, 100000 to
81 500, 100000 about one-ffth of
which has been derived from quartz
veins; 100000 900 from the tertiary
gravels and the remainder from the
quaternary deposits.

OF course, we must raise the money to

We Have Always Been Nonn1ilitary.
II is a safe guess that congress will
not provide the money for any such
increase in the army. even II the SEN
timent Of the country would sustain
its representative in any such action.
Throughout our history as a nation we
have Jagged behind-happily. accord
ing TO most persons-in the interna

given Germany standing army of
$4,000 men. France 100000 soldiers.
Russia a standing force Of 100000

still immense compared to our 10000

and ahead of Germany. When Ger
many's present naval plans are carried
to completion she will be second TO her
