bilities of $4,000, Forced
to Suspend Business.

Although not entirely unexpected. the
announcement given out locally Satur.

firm of Matthews e goilihoss had closed
its doors came as a shock to the com
munlty. The firm was known to be

would pull through.
THE total liabilities of the defunct
firm is said to be around s25, 900 with
unknown assets. Last year it is said

than $4,000
The sequel came when on Dec. 29th,
G. w. Goble, John Oats, J. A. Eason
and c. L. Benadum, sureties on a
note, which together with interest
amounts to $24s1. 33, placed an attach
ment on the store contents, which on
the following day was followed by an
attachmen for $2844 Sc placed by Sac
ramento wholesalers, through S. M.
Tobin. Peter Mori, the local produce
man placed an attachment on the same
day for $403. 25.
Just what proceedings will be followed
by the bankruptcy case is not yet de-
termined, nor is it known whether the
place will reopen under new auspices.

The bleak whiteness of the mountains
that rim Fallon's horizon is not needed
to convince local residents that winter
is here. The thermometer, which has
b, en- huggng zero at night for week
or more, affords ample confirmatory
evidence.
But it is colder in other parts Of the
state. In Elko county 40 deg. below
is reported, and other sections report
weather nearly as cold.
bitches and ponds are frozen over, of
course, but no damage to water pipes
or mains is reported in town. There is
not enough frost in the ground to en-
danger them, and beside the days are
comparatively pleasant.
Both Carson and Washoe lakes are
frozen over, and good skating on both
is reported.

would indicate there is something of a
string tied to CALIFORNIA; revoke of the
quarantine:
"a dispatch was received by prom
inent potato grower Of this valley, the
other day, that the quarantine placed
on Nevada potatoes by California had
been raised and that all potatoes could
be shipped. This was quite Christ
mas present from California, but Ne
vada was allowed to play with the gift
only short time. The gift had a string
tied to it, for a few days later word
was received here that Nevada spuds
shipped to California would still have
to undergo the same rigid inspection in
California as before, and II any eel
worms were found the spuds were to be
shipped beck. The conditions were
even made a little more severe than
formerly, We are told. in that shippers
here would be obliged to prepay freight
on the spuds and give a guarantee that
the return freight would be paid if the
potatoes were condemned.

In connection with the new law DR..

weights and measures, has issued the
following notice:
Presidents Office
University OF Nevada.
Reno, New. Dec 26 1911.
To the Public.
The act of the twenty-fifth legisla-
ture fixing the standard weights aud
measures and regulating the sale of
commodities and articles of merchan-
disc according to such standards will
become effective January |, 1912.
Section 18 of this act presents some
difficulties in its Interpretation. but the
meaning of this section has been de-
termined after careful consultation and
will probably stand the test.
The unit of standard measure of
length, surface of solid; the unit of
standard of weights; the unit of stand
ard measure of capacity for liquids
and the unit of standard capacity of
commodities other than liquids are in
accordance with the standards of
weights and measures adopted and
provided for by the government of the
United States. Inc University OF Ne
yada has ordered set of each of these
standard weights and measures. which
will be sealed by the bureau of stand
ards and kept for comparison at the
university.
The working sets of these weights
and measures, together with a stamp
for sealing the scales that are approved
by the deputy sealers of weights ard
measures are provided for everyday
work.
Sections IL. 10, IA, Is, Is and IL can
be readily understood. 1t was probably
the intention of the Legislature that
section l8 should not be interpreted in

POTATO QUARANTINE is RAISED
But, At the Same Time, Califor-
ria Seems to Have a String
Tied to the Proposition.

The following press dispatch from
Sacramento is of interest to local potato
growers:
Estate horticultural Commissioner
Cook today raised the quarantine placed
some tifae ago against three Nevada
counties, prohibiting them shipping po-
tatoes into California.
I'm announcing this action Mr. Cook
went on to explain: President Stubs
having az freed to send experts to the
sections infested by eel worm, | prom
.sed that districts free from the pest
would not be subject to quarantine.
The ranches free from eel worm are so
scattered that it would be well-nigh i'm
possible to raise the quarantine on them
alone. Therefore, in justice to all,
have decided to raise the quarantine,
but have instructed our inspectors to
make a thorough inspection of every
car shipped to California. "

IT WAIT FOR DOCTOR

w lille pollce and hospital clerks
were quarreling as to which of
them were liars, a baby was born
to Mrs. Mary Nogledski, 1909 w.
18th street, without medical at
tendance.
Mrs. Nogledski's husband says
the dispensary of the Chicago
Lying-In hospital, 1886 Newber-
ny avenue, had promised to fur
nish a doctor when needed.
When they failed to do SO,
Nogdleski called up the Maxwell
street police and told them OF his
trouble. The police telephoned
three times to the dispensary to
send physician. They say that
the clerk at the dispensary refus-
ed to send a physician and refus-
ed to give any reason. for not do
ing so.
Today the dispensary say they
did not send doctor, but because
there was not one available. The
night clerk also says the police
called him liar.
Whatever the merits of the
controversy between the police
and the dispensary, the baby was
born to Mrs. Nogledski without
medical attention while they were
calling each other names.
