EARLY WOODS"
NEARLY ALL SOLD

Nearly all the large clip of early
woods along the line of the Southern
Pacific, from Elko to Reno, have been
contracted at from IA to 141ac. By
"early wools' is meant those sheared
before lambing, beginning about the
Goth of March and running toward
the latter part of April The "late
wools' are sheared after lambing, dur
ing the latter part of May and month
of June. So far as known about the
only large clip in the territory men
toned that has not been contracted is
that of Thomas Nelson, at Stone
House. In addition to the above, sew
eral Paradise valley clips are report
ed sold.
The contract price this year is about
one cent above that paid last season,
and while many believe that the ad-
vance is due to speculation, the fact
that no offers have been made for the
late wool at any price would seem
to indicate that there is another rea-
son. 1t is considered likely by men
familiar with the situation that the
eastern buyers contemplate having the
product manufactured and sold before
congress has had time to change the
tariff schedules on wool.
1t is reported that this year the
Southern Pacific will erect shearing
pens in the vicinity of the stockyards
for the accommodation of sheepmen in
this vicinity.

WARDEN BAKER
WILL NOT RESIGN

Recently one or two papers in the
state have published statements to the
effect that Warden Ray Baker of the
state penitentiary was contemplating
handing in his resignation. No expla-
nation of such move, its why or
wherefore, was vouchsafed by the
papers referred to. and the whole
story was admitted to be nothing more
than rumor. This morning the Ca
zette asked Warden Baker in regard
to this rumor,' and received the fol-
lowing answer:
am too busy trying to attend to
my job to give any attention to rnmors
and alleged rumors. l have not even
heard this rumor that is referred to-
and one would think I would hear
something about it. But for the bene-
fit of those who are interested I will
say that if there ever were any such
rumor there never was any truth in it.

The board that appoints warden
is composed of Governor Oddie, Attor-
ney General Baker and Secretary of
State Brodigan. When the appoint
ment was made Oddie and Baker stood
together, and there has been no indi-
cation that the governor plans to form
a new alliance and combine with
Brodigan. Of course, there are many
men who would like to take a try at
the job, but tn general opinion seems
to be that the present warden has done

LEAD is NOW LOWEST
IN OVER TEN YEARS

The reduction in the price of lead
by the trust to cents. New York,
which is as low as any price that has
been touchd in over ten years, must
be resulting in large number of or
ders.
The present inquiry is enormous, but
as interests outside of the trusts are
declining to meet the price most of the
orders must be going to the trust. 1t
is felt that the reduction in price has
not been made because of poor demand
and large supply, but because the trust
has an "axe to grind that is, with
view of exciting the ore interests in
America to help them fight their case
at Washington on the proposed tariff
reduction on lead. Meanwhile the ad-
vance of cents per ounce in silver
must have considerably increased the
revenue of the trust and viii 90

which may be suffered from the pres
ent demonstration, if demonstration it

JUICE" FROM THE
. new POWER PLANT

The new powerh house of the Winnie
mucca Water x Light company has
been completed, the machinery is all
in place, and during last evening the
current was turned ON and the town
Lighted from the new plant for a space
of about five minutes. 1t is probable
that the new plant will furnish the
power for tonight's lights for the first
time.
The fact that Winnemucca now has
one Of the finest power plants on the
coast, or In the entire country, for
that matter, is due almost entirely to
the persistent efforts of the Messrs
Reinhart, who are the principal local
stockholders, with the nonresident
members o. the corporation. Last
year one of the most eminent engi-
neers OF the country was sent up from
San Francisco, and after making an
exhaustive study into water and light
conditions, report was submitted to
the company, which called for many
new IMPROVEMENTS. Acting upon these
suggestions, site for a new power
plant was Immediately secured in the
Haviland Il Hoskins addition, near
lHC w CobCIu muse, anu

Francisco engineering firm of Charles
Z. Moore company for the erection of

The office of the corporation has
been removed from the store of Z.
Reinhart e. Co. to the new buildins
and H. o. Rollins is now in charge Of
the collections. Since the company in.
stalled the meter system the service
has been charged for at the rate OF
lie per kilowat-hour, as agniast lie
charged by plants of most of the other
towns of the state. While in the case
of patrons who require the Knight

higher than the former flat rate, tax

Increased Water Supply.
In order TO provide an adequate wa
ter supply for the town the company
has increased the capacity of the
pumping plant situated on Bridge
street, near the river. A new Krough
centrifugal pump has been submerged
in the we'll, which viii be operated by
q s5-horsepower motor. In this man
uer il Is calculated to double the wa
ter supply OF the town during the dry

NATIONAL COR
FURAIION LAWS

A service OF vast Importance is be-
ing rendered to the country at the
present time by the senate committee
ON commerce, l. its hearings upon the
whole subject of the regulation and
control OF large business enterprises.
Senator Cummins of Iowa is chairman
of the subcommittee that is conducting
these hearings. Senator Clapp of Min
nesota is chairman of the full commit
tee. The Sherman antitrust law, as it
now stands, and as it is interpreted by
the courts, is protective neither of big
business nor of little business. 1t has
smashed the tobacco trust, but it has
afforded no satisfaction nor relief to
the smaller competitors of that trust
wno were instrumental in having the
suit brought. No one need fear that
toe small business man, or the plain
citizen, would suffer anything even
from the absolute repeal of the Sher-
iaan antitrust law. 1t will not, Of
course, be repealed in any ease without
the substitution for it of something
tnat would afford vastly better pro
tcct on to every citizen and to every
KIND of legitimate business enterprise.
But even il II were repealed with no
federal law to take its place, there is
some reason for the view that every
one needing protection or remedy
would find himself as safe under the
common law as he is at present under
the so-called sherman statute. 1t
would be absurd to think for IA moment
that we have not enough sense in the
United States to reform our corpora
tion laws, differing as they do in half
a hundred states. Time has /ome when
10 corporation, great or small should
he allowed to do any interstate bust
ness whatsoever until it has complied
with rules aud regulations setting a
national standard at least as high as
the corporation laws of England or of
the state of Massachusetts A step of
this kind would remedy a great part
of our existing business troubles

s. P. NOT FIGHT
ING THE CANAL

Judge Robert S. Lovett, executive
head of the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacific railway systems, in a
recent statement emphatically denied
that his railroads and the powerful in
terests back of them were forming a
lobby in Washington to oppose the
Panama canal.
"Of course,'' he added, "we appre-
ciate that the Panama canal will cre-
ate competition for us, but / can say
that during Mr.. Hartman time and
since I have had charge not one dol
lar has been used in opposin" the
canal. The canal is certain to benefit
California, where we have more miles
of tracks than in any other state. 1t
is certain to benefit the south, where
we have large holdings, and it is logi-
cal to presume that anything which
will benefit the country in which we
operate will benefit us in the long
rum
Judge Lovett, however, does not be-
lieve in the advisability of inland
waterways. He says it is absurd to
talk about the government appropriat-
ing $5,00O,000 for inland waterways,
for, as he views the situation, inland
waterways are dead for all time. "The
reason is simple,' said Judge Lovett.
!" Railroads are far better than inland
aterways, and in the long run are
the cheapest means of transporta-
tion.'
