Our new Commissioner of Agriculture
has not been guilty of exceeding the
speed limit in placing himself on record
as TO where he stands on the question
of enforcement of the Immature Fruit
Law. The growers will want 10 know,
Mr.. Commissioned Don't let a few
commission handlers get next TO you
and fool you by telling you the growers
do not want the law enforced. They
do, and they will vote for man who
will agree TO see that il is enforced by
all the power of your otfice.-FloTida
Grower, Tampa.
Our friend the Grower, representing
as it does the citrus fruit growers of
Florida (boih independents and those
who operate through the Citrus
EXCHANGED need not concern itself much
over what the present accidental Com
missioner of Agriculture thinks about
the immature fruit shipping law His
time will expire on January LIST, and he
is surely anchored TO the job until that
time. His successor, however, in all
probability will be the Hon. w. r. Dor
man of Suwannee county. Now The
News doesn't speak for w. r. Dorman,
but il it willing to wager a few dollars 10
fewer doughnuts that when that gentle
man takes hold of the department he
will be for the strict enforcement Of
that law. Dorman is a practical farmer,
and 1t won't take him long TO see the
absolute justice of that law-or any law
that has for its object the building Up Of
the agricultural and horticultural inter
ests Of this state, or that will tend TO
profit the producers.

Bas-ReIiefs of the stons Age.

Some large bas-reliefs dating from
the Stone Age have Just been dis
covered at Lanosel, in the French prov
ince of Dordogne. They are sculp-
tured on the rock of a shallow grot-
to, and solely represent animals. 1t is
thought that the primitive sculptors
probably refrained from introducing
the human figure In art by tabu
similar to the present Mohametan
tabu on such representation. The
animals shown in the reliefs are rein
deer, oxen, bisons, and huge horse
of prehistoric Dimensions.

Snort Of the AntIpodes,

A favorite sport in New Zealand, as
also in Australia and Tasmania, is
competition in wood chopping and
saving; and in these contests, which
attract a great deal Of interest, the
championships are always won through
the use of American tools. In fact
the expert woodsman working for a
prize would never think Of using any
other kind of tools.

Mrs. J. Springer. IS Whitehall street,
Is bitter today in her denunciations of
the justice court system which Atlants

which may eventually be abolished
through a municipal court Two bail
ifs from Justice Jackson's tribunal
had invaded her millinery store and
torn more than $70O worth of willow

to satisfy a claim of SIS. of which Mrs.
Springer declares she had no knowl-
edge.
The raid on the store occurred dur
ing the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Springer, while the store was in the
charge OF several young women clerks.
When Mrs Springer returned she
found the saleswomen weeping hys-
terically and the store looked like a
wreck The bailiffs had ruined goods
amounting to many ines the value of
the alleged debt. she says.
Il don't know why this outrage
should have been committed said
Mrs. Springer THE ba1liff from Judge
Jackson's court called up my husband
on the telephone and said Mr.. Springer
owed them SIS. He was very rough
and wanted the money right then and
wouldn't explain what it was for.
ut was only little time after that
we got the telephone message that they
were in the store and taking out our
things They had said they would
move the whole store unless they got
the money. l never felt so bad about
anything in my life. that they should
humiliate us and take our goods off in

chance to make bond or do anything

'Grubstaked' in 1908. No,v Senator
MAKES MILLIONS ON 5000

RENO. June 28.-There is more or
less romance in the appointment by
Governor Tasker L. eddie of Nevada
of George Wingtield, of Reno. friend
and business associate of the late Sen
ator George S. Nixon, as United States
senator to serve until the meeting of
the legislature in January, 1918. At
that time the legislature will elect a
successor to complete the unexpired
term, which extends until March, 1917.
The appointment was expected.
Senator Wingheld, now known as the
richest man in Nevada, was a cowboy
in the southern part of the state when
Tonopah first acquired prominence as
a mining camp in 1903. He rode into
the boom camp, where 81 bought not. =
ing more to eat than a plate of pork
and beans, with S12 In his pocket
The late Senator George s. Nixon
was then a clerk in a Tonopah bank
and grubstaked Wtngfeld according to
popularity accepted stories, to $500. Five
years later Wingfield was rated a mill
lionaire and today is estimated to be
worth between $120O0,0OO and $4,000, :
900. The greatest single factor in his
financial success has been his control
of Gol1field Consolidated.
Became Partners.
Within few weeks after Nixon had
loaned the 5000, Wingfeld rendered him
the principal, and with it interest in
the sum of $4,000 representing half the
profits in a mining venture. Nixon told
him to keep the $4,000 and use it for
his (Nixons) interest. The partnership
thus formed endured for six years.
Investments and speculations involv-
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars of
capital we're carried on independently
by the partners, and often neither knew
of deal the other was conducting until
its elimination Their partnership,
which never was based upon any writ
ten agreement. was terminated in 1909,
with both men wealthy.
Nixon looked over the banking end
of their business including the j. S.
Cook bank at Goldfeld, through which
the greater part of the tremendous
wealth produced by that camp passed.
Wingf1eld, scraping together all his
available cash and extending his credit
to the uttermost took over their min
ing claims including Goldfeld Con
solidated, then regarded as a worked
out prospect

Ever gambler for high stakes in
the mining camps where thousands
of dollars changed hands on a single

the ground had shown on Goldfeld
Consolidated. Abandoning the shafts
and tunnels which marked the property
for worked out ground, Wingfield
sank 2 new shaft. and S75 feet down
crossed the original rich lode and took
out 5000 in the first hour.
Winiyfield then went East to finance
the property for more extensive devel-
opment, and not only secured the
money he sought, but retained absolute
control of the property.
When a man high in Wall Street at
fairs was suggested as president of the
company, with the question: You will
admit Mr. Wingfield, that this man is
better able than yourself to handle the
intricate financial details of this mer-
ger Ningfield replied emphaticallJ
that he admitted nothing of the sort
Native of Arkansas.
Winyfeld was elected president.
Besides his Nevada mining interests,
Mr.. Wingfeld has large holdings OF
CalifoI MIA oil lands.
Mr.. Wingfield was born at Fort
Smith, Ark, August 1s, 1876. Before
going to Nevada as cowboy and pros
pector, he ran cattle" for his father
who had settled in southeastern Ore
gon.
He was married to Miss Maude A.
Murdoch, of San Francisco, in 1908.
Their residence is in Reno. They have
