WILL PROSECUTE OFFENDERS
Who Presist In Violating
Weights And Measures
Law.

S. c. Dinsmore who has charge of
the enforcement of the pure food and
drugs, and the weights and measures
laws in Nevada, assisted by M. B. Ken
nedy, have returned from Tonopah and
Goldfeld, where several days were
spent in their Investigations.
The sampling of food products and
the Investigation of scales occupied the
attention of both officials and during
the trip over a dozen scales were con-
demned. Careful studies were also
made of the milk sold 10 Goldfeld, Ton
opah and several samples were brought
to Reno for additional analysis.
Dinsmore is working out tolerance
on butter for the Investigations show
that there is quite discrepancy in the
weights of the PRODUCTS of various
ereameries. A certain loss is due to
evaporation and it is with the idea of
determining the loss that the work is
pursued.
When the officials left Reno for the
southern part Of the state they pur-
chased small crate of butter and sub
jected it 10 the regular method of snip
ping It was billed to 1onopah and on
arrival at that place was carefully
weighed and the difference of the
weight at the time of purchase noted.
Half the case was displayed in Tono-
pah store and the balance placed in a
refrigerator. 1t was weighed every
Neutrality-suspicious., and after several
days was shipped to Golddeld. where
the weights were again taken. Upon
leaving Goldfeld the case was shipped
back TO Reno and the weight taken on
arrival in this city.
The result of the Investigations will
be made public shortly and the cream
cries advised MS to the results. During
the Investigations of the pure food and
weights and measures officials it has
been found that outside creameries
have shipped in butter, the rolls being
one or more ounces under weight. AS
soon as the tolerance is decided upon
official action will be taken against the
concerns that persist in shipping in
under weight articles. The prosecution
can be had under both the pure
food and drugs act or the weights
and measures law.-Nevada State
journal.

merly and an the same schedule.
Accompanying him to Reno will be
G. S. Spreyer, his partner in the black
smith and implement business. who will
make the trip on business.

Mrs. w. P. Hambitzer, assisted by
her daughter, Mrs. Katherine Will, de-
lightfully entertained twenty ladies at
the Hambitzer home Monday. The
party occupied the afternoon hours
from to z o'clock, and its nature was
decidedly pleasant. Both April FOOLS

were served with. course after course
of deectable viands, the last to be
presented being a large, handsomely

for each guest extended from the cake,
which when pulled proved to be attach
ed to an Easter chicken. Gold bricks
were in evidence in great profusion,
each guest being favored Opened, the
gold brick was found lined with candy
for sweet teeth.
The afternoons amusement consist
ed of 900" play, game that develop
ed some strong card playing propensi-
ties on the part of the ladies present.

of this community, were united in mar
riage Sunday afternoon by Justice 7.

contracting parties were present. Fol-
lowing the ceremony, the newly welded

unable to learn Of the details. but des-
pite the fact that be has consistently
refused TO divulge his plans, We extend
our hearty congratulations to him and
his estiinable bride along with large
number of other friends.
The bride in this instance is one Of
the valleys handsomest daughters, her
parents being Mr.. and Mrs. c. NJ

this valley, being jointly interested
with his father in the ownership of a
fine ranch south of town.

The Japanese box social given by the
ladies' of the Fernley Improvement Club
was bowling success, socially and fl
nancially.
The people of Fernley are consider
ably wrought up over the attitude Gov
ernor Oddie is taking with reference to
Warden Baker and and the the following letter
was sent to the Warden as an express
sion of the feeling in this valley anent
this matter:
Fernley, New, March 80, 1912.
Warden Ray 7. Baker,
Carson City, New,
My Dear Sir:
At meeting held at Fernley this
evening was instructed to write you
as follows:
The people of this valley irrespective
of political affiliations. desire to express
their hearty appreciation of the good
work you are doing as warden Of Ne
vada State Penitentiary. They further
desire to express their absolute conf
dence in your personal and official in
tegrity and they deprecate the unwar-
ranted attack made upon you by the
chief executive of this state, and il is
their hope and firm conviction that you
will completely yindicate yourself and
be permitted to continue the signal
services you are rendering the good
people of this state.
The governor is reported TO have in
timated at the very inception of this
controversy, that he desired your res
| ignation for the reason that you were
materially injuring his political future.
In-the humble judgment of the citizens
of this valley, the governors present
course and attitude toward you is do
ing more to blast any political ambitions
he may harbor than you might possibly
do, and should he again come before
the people of Nevada as a candidate for
office, he will undoubtedly find that his
farcical conduct in this matter will
prove the worst potent factor in relegat-
ing him to the political junk-pile.
remain. very truly yours,
LEON o. WHITsELL.
Secretary of Meeting.

HAS C0ASLICT WITH HORSE
Mexican Prisoner At Jail Gets

Kindness.

Joe Ramon, a Mexican who recently
earned a six months county jail sem
tence for engaging in knife WELDING
aft air with countryman, starred in an
A. Mutt stunt Saturday afternoon, the
consequences of which will keep the
gringo hater in his cot at the Jail for
some time. A fractious mustang had
thrown himself at his hitehing place in
front OF the court house, which Ramon,
now trusty, has come to consider
reserve, which he must police IN his
own discretion, attempted amid the
p.audits OF large and enthusiastic au-
dienee 10 release the horse from his
bonds. Showing scant appreciation for
the favor, the mustang proceeded to
work oil the Mexican's gisage with all
four feet, with the ren,si. that Ramon
took thu count and was carried to the
fail for medical attention.
Upon coming 70, bis first comment
was that he had been in combat with
"muy frioseo eabalio, meaning a
very fierce horse and he is very wroth
that 50 fractions an animal was allowed
standing room on the plaza. In the
future, when Ramon's wounds have
healed he probably will view with sus-
picious oyertuTes for assistance from
horse owners, for he has learned les
son 10 horsemanship that may last him
his natural life time.

Nevada Hills to Resume Operations.


Considerable interest attaches to the
official announcement that the mills of
Nevada Hills mine at Fairview will
start full blast not later than April 15,
on which date the current supplied by
the Hydro Electric Power company,
which has been greatly retarded in its
efforts by the observance of the Pinchot
conservation policy by the United States
forestry service, will be turned on.
The event will unquestionably be fol-
lowed by the resumption of operations
at a number of the other properties of
the district that have been idle for
some time, the owners of (which have
been keeping tab upon the work at the
famous mine.
Ali underground connections in the
Nevada Hills have been made for the
economica handling Of the ores. The
crosseut ftom the new shaft is expect
ed to cut the Fairview Eagle ore body
soon after the mill starts. Work on
this erosscut was stopped as the man.
agement did not wish to cut the ore
body until the mill had been put into
commission, for the reason that a large
volume of water is anticipated which
will be used for milling purposes, as
well as the fact that the l, ,25O, 600 gail
lon storage tanks are full. To tap the
Eagle ore body with its certain large
flow of water before the mill is started
would mean the waste of large amount
of water.
The Nevada Hills company is just
completing hotel for the convenience
of its employees. 1t is furnished in
splendid shape, with hot and cold wa
ter throughout and the appointments
are said to be superior to any similar
house in Nevada.

For School Director Have Ap-
peared in The Field. Five
Names Filed.

More than ordinary interest is being
evinced over the coming school election
which will be held at the school house
in Fallon Saturday. Co-incidently, elee.
tions will be held in all of the II dis

Finally Retrench Al Carson
When Funds Are All
Exhausted.

The long delayed retrenchment by
the republican state administration has
come about. The governor and afili-
atine oflicaldom at Carson are raising
all kinds of fuss in the state capital in
an effort to bully the people into the
notion that they are getting theirs. As
usual the men with the strongest poll
tical pulls are holding their jobs while
those who cannot deliver political goods
find themselves without an income.
a The following formed Mondays press
Dispatch
A general economical surprise hap
pened this afternoon when after a con-
snltation with several heads of depart
ments in state affairs. orders came to
reduce forces and trim up wherever
possible. The heaviest cut came in the
state police. Six of the eleven mem
bers of the state police were cut from
the payroll. Those retained are Capt.
Donnelly. Newguard, Capalan, fravel
and Clark Those going are Stone,
o'Brier. Lacy, Amigo, Taylor and
Buck.
IL was further announced that Com
missioner Norcross had discharged his
stenographer. The state engineer lets
out one man and the state bank exam
iner dspenses with his assistant. Most
of this reduction goes into effect today.
In the case of the state police the selec-
ton of those retained was practically
in the hands of of Captain Donnely,
who made his selections OF the basis Of
efficiency and length of service
In speaking of the matter the gov
ernor said: "This is along the lines of
economy, such as promised and stated
to the legislature, both at the regular
and extra sessions. The reductions
have been made hoping TO bring about
a line of economy such as the state is
in need Of. Personally ! am in hopes
that other reductions may be made and
as in the above cases | will use my
endeayors to bring them about. This
work has been under consideration for
some time. realize that any dis
Enlargement of efficient state employees
is to be regretted, but as at the present
time, ,he state is in need &C strict econ
omy. On this line other departments
arc looking into the matter, and every
little helps. The above cuts represent
a saving of approximately twelve hun
dred dollars month to the state.

TO MANUFACTURE TABLE SALT
Local Parties VIII Install Salt
Grinding Plant In Fallon
During Present Season.

If plans carry. Fallon s list of indus
tries will be added to during the present
season by salt grinding works, that
will be installed by G. w. Kinney, who
owns the Sand Springs salt deposit, one
of the largest and purest undeveloped
salt deposits in the world, and c. A Kolb
who is associated with him both in the
development of the deposits and in the
manufacturing and disposal of the pro-
duet. Presen. plans contemplate the
early installation of machinery in Fallen
that will grind sufficient of the crude
salt to load 10 cars monthly for the
first year, following which if market
conditions justify, further installation
of machinery will be made.
The crude salt will be hauled to Fal-
lon from the salt deposits II miles south
by wagon, the heavy expenses aceru-
ing from this method precluding the ex-
portation of any save the finest of the
product, which will be sacked for dairy
and table uses. Mr.. Kinney has beer
watching the salt markets for long
time and Is familiar with the figures
that govern the production and sale Of
this commodity. He points out that the
coast states import enough salt from
abroad. that If suppIanted by hons
production would absorb many times
what he coalo produce fromhis deposits
and he proposes TO go out and see if be
cannot appreciate part OF the traffic tC
