DISTRICT COURT

The McComb case has made but
little progress since the state rested
Saturday forenoon. At the after
noon session Mr.. Dysart began the
opening statement and had pro-
Iceeded, but little way when he
was interrupted by Judge Curler,
who objected to Mr.. Dysart stating
anything about what the defense
proposed to prove regarding the
trouble over stock between Mr..
Agee and Mr.. Badt. This matter
was threshed out and the opening
statement was finally concluded.
The defense then called J. S.
Badt, but he was not allowed to
take the stand. After considerable
argument Mr.. Dysart made an offer
as to what the defense proposed
to prove by Mr.. Badt.
The state objected 10 the offer
and argument on the objection con-
sumed the rest of the afternoon
and at its close the court took the
matter under advisement until 10
CLOCK Monday.
When court convened this fore
noon Judge Taber read many de-
cisions bearing on the question and
sustained the objection. Then fol.
lowed a discussion on different
points involved in the decision end
the right of the defendant to call
Mr.. Badt and ask him certain ques-
tions touching the alleged i'll feel
ing between Mr.. Agee and Mr.. Nc
Comb. The court held that no
question touching the offer made
by the defendant would be permit
ed and warned the attorneys for
the defense to be careful in ques-
ioning Mr.. Badt if they called him.
In the discussion Judge Curler
accused Mr.. Van Fleet Of sharp
practice the other day and received
a hot reply. The storm blew over
without bloodshed.
Court adjourned until z o'clock
this afternoon with the defense in
the air regarding Mr.. Badt's evil
dence.

MARY'S RIVER
PROJECT NOT DEAD

Your isslt Friday evening pub
lished an extensive article from Mr..

the State Engineer, but the Board
Of Directors of the Carey Act Re-
clamation Association for the fail
ure Of the project to m6terialize on
it's original lines and announcing
that the project was dead and bur
led.
The latter is a misstatement of
facts, the State Engineer did file
the report referred to, but with
it he filed a certificate with the
Commission recommending that
further time be given the project
to determine whether such a pro-
iect would be feasible ON the basis
of a reduced area. so that the pro-
ject is far from dead, as the Board
proposes to proceed along the line
suggested by Mr.. Kearney, the
State Engineer, who has never by
anything we have seen been at all
antagonistic to the enterprise.

BEET SUGAR PROCLAMATION

Governor Oddie has issued the
following proclamation relative to
the beet sugar industry and urging
the people of the state to aid, sup
port and encourage such industry
by becoming consumers of Nevada
sugar:
Whereas, in pursuance of the fol-
lowing communication:
Nevada Bureau of Industry Agri-
culture and Irrigation,
Carson City, Nov. 10, 1918.
Hon. Tasker l.. Oddie, Governor
of Nevada.
Sir: An Investigation by this
bureau Of the status Of the beet
sugar Industry in Nevada, as dis
closed by the Nevada Sugar Com
pany, at FalIon, has resulted in
three conclusions Of urgent public
Importance:
First-That the beet sugar indus
try can be made one of the chief
factors in the agricultural develop
nents of the state if given support
and encouragement, at the crucial
time, by our own people;
Second-That the failure of the
enterprise. on the other hand, will
give Nevada an agricultural set
back since such failure would be at
tributed by the outside world as
due to deficient soil and climatic
conditions and which would react
on all other lines of agricultural
upbuilding; and
ThIrd-That the success Of the
enterprise today rests with the peo-
pie of Nevada as a whole to give
the initial enterprise Of great
prospective Nevada industry now
struggling for success, the benefit
Of the local markets. In other
words that the patriotic and public
spirited people of Nevada give
preference, as sugar consumers to
that grown and confined in the
state, until we get our sugar in
dustry firmly established. If Me-
vada people insist on Nevada sugar
which is as good as the best--all
stores will be glad to handle it and
the needed local market secured.
This commission, therefore, re-
specially presents these conclusions,
and urges that in such manner az
you may deem proper and exped-
lent you call the same to the atten-
ton Of the people Of the state. Re-
spectfully submitted,
Nevada Bureau of Industry, Agri-
culture and Irrigation,

ments to be true and well founded,

term cholera is applied even though

ufacture his own cholera germs, as
up to the present, we are told, no one
