CLAIM fXTRADITION :
PAPERS IRREGULAR

AS Sheriff George X. Quine, of
Roseburg, Ore, was about to enter a
taxicab yesterday noon, accompanied
by Charles Grider, whom he was TAX
ing back to his county, he was serv-
ed with a writ of habeas corpus, com
manding him to produce his prisoner
forthwith before Judge Ducker. Upon
complying with the Court IS order, the
case was set for hearing tomorrow
morning, at 10 o'clock
The prisoner was arrested by local
officials a week ago at the request of
the Oregon authorities, who stated
that he was wanted on charge of
abandoning his wife. He refused to
waive extradition and Sheriff Quine
came with a requisition from the gov
ernor of Oregon, honored by Governor
Oddie. Grider employed Salter &
Robins, who applied to Judge Ducker
for a writ of habeas corpus, and it is
understood that it will be claimed at
the hearing tomorrow that the extra
dition papers are not in accordance
with the statutes.

RAISE SUGAR BETS
IN GRASS VALLEY

Out of Grass valley, near Winnie
mucca, comes lesson that will be
hailed with delight by farmers all
over Nevada, according to Secretary
Stevenson. of the Reno Commercial
club, who has received information on
the remarkable achievements of NJ.
b. johnson who in three years has
transformed a sagebrush waste into
prolific fields. Sugar beets raised this
year were forwarded to the club and
have just been analyzed by Professor
Dinsmore of the university for their
sugar contents.
Mr.. johnson field on the rough land
three years ago. He was cigar
manufacturer in Winnemucca and
knew OF farming in general way, but
was quite willing to learn. At the
time he took up the tract there was no
water on it.
One of the first moves was the
sinking of well and the result was
the watering of 160 acres from an s.
inch pipe using an Avery tractor en-
gine for pumping purposes. This same
engine has been used to clear, plow
and level the land.
This season he has raised sugar
beets, celery, radishes, potatoes, on
ions, rhubarb, horseradish and many
other vegetables and the yield has
been excellent. In addition he has
fine stand of alfalfa.
So great has been Mr.. johnson IS
success that he has attracted many
other settlers to the vicinity and he
is now engaged in clearing their lands
for them with his tractor, leveling
and blowing for from 81 to $15 an
acre, according to the difficulties of
the topography.
The raising of the sugar beets this
year was in the nature of an ex-
pertinent which was highly successful
The speciments sent here were pulled
from the ground on the first of the
month, too early to achieve their full
est sugar content. They were four
teen inches long and six inches in
diameter, but it was said there were
much larger beets in the ground. They
showed 6.3 per cent sugar in the juice
and 6.s in the beet and the purity was
sos per cent. According to Professor
| Dinsmore' report the analysis would
not be a fair criterion of what the
johnson ground can produce in beets
because of the early harvesting of the
samples.-Reno Journal.

WINNtMU((A NORTHERN
ROUTE DISPLEASES NAMPA

The Winnemucca Northern survey
ors, instead of crossing the rocky
ridge, and making straight for Snake
river from the mouth of Succor creek
canyon, as many supposed they would,
are continuing down the creek, with
an apparent intention of striking
Snake river below Roswell Such a
crossing would make the line to Boise
full 80 miles longer than the route by
way of Nampa.
The engineers are now encamped II
miles from Homedale at Isaacs' place
and were in Homedale Saturday buy
ing supplies for the camp which will
probably not be changed until the sur
vey to the Snake river is completed.
The present survey would apparently
take the line to Boise by way of
Parma. Such a route would be
absurd and may only be an attempt to
cut Nampa and Boise out entirely.
President Bush of the Missouri Pa
cific, will soon be here to inspect the
line, clear through from Boise to Win
nemueca, and not until he has passed
on it will it be known what route will
be taken. 1t is matter of unlisput-
ed disappointment both in Nampa and
Boise, that the preliminary survey
runs so far from where il was suppos-
ed it would run.-Nampa Record.
Too bad We tried to convince Mr..
Sheldon, chief engineer of this survey
ing crew, when he was locating the
line of the Winnemucca Northern
railroad through this valley, that the
only proper route for the road was
through the main street of this town
and that the depot should adjoin the
Express office, but he seemed to think
that the best route was to go up Hook
er creek, leaving the town of Jordan
Valley off to one side aohut four miles
1t put such a sour taste in our mouth
that we were afraid to take ealome
for some time, but have come to the
conclusion that railroad within fonl
miles would be better than to be 81

STEEL CARS FOR
WESTERN PACIFIC

In addition to the steel cars and
steel underframe baggage cars and
coaches which the road already oper-
ates, President B. F. Bush, of the
Missouri Pacifc-Iron Mountain has
given instructions to let contracts for
100 additional all-steel cars for passen-
ger service. These cars will be made
of the heaviest quality of steel and
will have six-wheel trucks. They will
be the latest effort for safety and com
fort in steel ear building. They will
have modern insulation to keep them
cool in summer and warm in winter.
The ventilation will also be of the
most approved type and the ears will
also have electric lighting and all
other up-to-date Improvements.
This order for 100 all-steel cars will
include chair cars. coaches, baggage
and express cars. The solid through
trains which are to be run from st.
Louis to the Pacific coast over the
Missouri Pacific, Denver Rio Graade
and Western Pacific railways will be
made up entirely of all-steel cars. The
express trains from st, Louis to Kan
sas City and the west and from st.
Louis to Texas, the Hot Springs
Special from st. Louis, the Hot
Springs Special from Kansas City and
the trains run over the Missouri Pa
cific between Kansas City and Omaha
operating in conjunction with the Chi
cago & Northwestern in the through
service between Kansas City and st.
Paul and Minneapolis will be compos-
ed of all-steel and steel underframes
