WAKEFIELD AND BELAsco
AT THE GRIGSBY SALE

David warieId and David Belasco sat
side by side during the Emile Grigsby
sale in New York last week. and. al
though they bid often, they showed q
nice discrimination in never getting upon
competitive basis. The actor was the
more persistent buyer and paid large
prices for several Of his purchases. In
fact, he almost missed the evening per-
formance Of +The Return OF Peter
Grimm" on account Of the press Of deal
ers who thronged forward at the end of
the sale to hand him their business cards.
bir. Belasco said that some OF his pur-
chases might be used on the stage. Mr..
Warfeld paid t407 for a silver reliquary.

pass one backs onto stub track while
the other passes by. The heads of the
company seem to have idea of the
needs and requirements of this grow
ing territory.
This is the crudest sort of railroad
ing for a company which does the
business that is done by the traction
line here and the people ares getting
wise to the fact.
The wall that is going up against the
service is becoming louder and louder
When one car on the Hammond East
Chicago run had $50 fares rung up on
a single trip one way and people were
packed in so tightly that they couldn't
get out, it is time something was done.
The problem of routing seems to be
the one that requires the most serious
attention. Hammond is getting to have
tribe of strap-hangers. There is no
question about it, And the worst of it
is that the local managers and spon-
sors for the lines are not to blame t
all. The fault lies in Chicago.

Stockmen Object to Infected Cat.

Brought to Nevada.

Governor Oddie was notified
Monday by telephone from Gard.
vile, that meeting of the stock
men of this section had been held
Sunday evening, wherein it was
decided that the Governor be re-
quested to use his efforts in pro-
tecting cattle of the state from The
danger threatened by the importa-
tion OF cattle for feeding purposes
from infected districts in Cali
fornia, says the News. 1t is claim
ed that large cattle company is
sending thousands of head of cat
tie to be pastured and that
these cattle come from a district
where many diseases are prevalent.
This if an infraction of the federal
law and if proven the cattle COM
pany may have heavy fine
imposed upon them.
Governor Oddie took the matter
up with United States Attorney
Platt and as result the governor
issued proclamation prohibiting
rhe shipment or importation into
this state of cattle from the infect
ed districts of California. All
officers, whose duty it is, or may
become, are instructed to rigidly
enforce the quarantine.
For violation Of this order

BIG LAND
DEAL MADE
humphries and MOffat Take Over
Entire Holdings of Hickey
Company.

A ranch deal involving in the
neighborhood of one million dollars
and the transfer of over $4,000
acres of land, was maoe this week
when Moffat g. Humphries, the
we'll known stockmen of Nevada
and California, purchased the en-
tire holdings of the Granite Noun
tain Investment company, which
is no other than the T. B. Rickey
Land and Live Stock company.
Thirty-five thousand acres of the
holdings lie in Antelope Valley,
while the balance of the property
is located in Bridgeport Meadows
and other portions OF Mono county.
Before Thomas B. Hickey get the
banking fever, which resulted 80
disastrous to himself and those
who believed in him, he gave his
entire time to the management of
his ranch. With humble be zin-
ming he advanced rapidly, acquir-
ing adjoining property until he
owned most of the ground in
Antelope Valley, besides thousands
of acres of mountain ranges. His
holdings we're kept in the finest
productive condition. Cattle and
sheep i'm countless numbers were
marketed each year and his in
come was enormous. His property
was that of which la king might
we'll be proud.
Banks are not conducted like
rsehes, which Mr.. Hickey found to
his sorrow, and the sorrow OF his
banks depositors. What he saved
from the wreck is now said to be
small, the property just sold hav-
ing been heavily incumbered with
debt.

Make Survey for
Power Plant

L. Hawkins, the surveyor, has
just completed the preliminary
work of the electric power plant
proposed by the Douglas Mining
and Reduction company and will
soon submit to the company an
estimate Of the cost of the plant.
A member OF the company stated
to this paper that it was his opin-
ion that the power plant would be
installed. The Winters mine,
which is the mine to be operated
justifiss the installation of the
plant. The stockholders, it is
understood, are anxious to have
the property worked and with the
large bodies of medium grade ore
mined and milled with cheap
power, it seems that profit can
be saved.
