TO REDUCE HIGH
COST OF LIVING

An elaborate anti high cost of liv-
ing bill, not only to resist cold stor-
age food but to penalize agreements
for storage, pooling, division of terri
tory, interference with competition
or other restraint of trade in food.
stuffs, was introduced in the house
Saturday by Representative Nickel
lar, of Tennessee.
The new bill, which will be urged
before the house and senate commit
tees, will make the storage limit on
beef products seven months, veal
two months, pork four months, sheer,
or goats four months, lambs or kids
three months, poultry and gams
three months, fish two months, eggs
three months to six months with pro-
vision for labelling all over three
months old after inspection, and but
ter three months.
The bill provides that cold storage
articles must be labeled with the
dates of production, killing, packing
or manufacturing and periods of stor-
age. 1t would bar thawing out cold
storage products and would have regu-
lations issued by the department Of
agriculture and other precautions.
Representative McKellar has re-
Gently conferred frequently with At
torney- General McReynolds on the
cost of living problems and is under
stood to have furnished some informa-
tion which department of justice
agents now are investigating in their
pursuit of an alleged cold storage
combination. 1t was generally infer
red at the capitol his new bill, which
is different from some of his others,
has at least the tacit approval of tho
attorney general.
After providing against long stor-
age of foodstuffs, the bill provides
packers of meat, poultry, butter and
eggs and all cold storage concerns
must furnish to the government daily
statements. For violation of the act
fines ranging from 800 to $1,000 or
prison sentence not exceeding five
years may be imposed.
Representative Fowler, of Illinois,
is collecting data to present to the
judiciary committee when it takes up
a long contemplated investigation of
an alleged beef trust. He intends to
ask the committee to investigate par.
ticularly whether meats kept in cold
storage are treated with chemicals.

INCREASED MINERAL PRO
DUCTION FOR KENTUCKY

The principal mineral product of
Kentucky is coal, which in calue con
stitutes about three-fourths of the
state g total mineral output. In 1912
the total value of Kentucky's mineral
production was 500, 2,452 9s4, of which
the coal output made up $16,s54 ,207,
according to figures compiled by f.
w. Parker of the United States Geo
logical Survey, in cooperation with
the Kentucky State Geological Sur
vey. The increase in the total miner
al production over 1911 is SO, 156,370.
The elay-working industry is second
in Importance in the state, with manu-
faetured products in 1912 valued at
2,443, ,740, against $2,36S,0 ,094 in 1911.
The principal clay products are fire
brick and other forms of refractory
material made from fire clay and com
mon brick.
The quarrying industry is third in
Importance and its principal product
is limestone, most of which is crush
ed for road making, railroad ballast
and concrete.
dueed in Kentucky in 1912 was
s497 900, against $507 $50 in 1911 /,
and that of petroleum s424, ,S42,
against $32s,614 in 1911.
Kentucky is second among the
states in the production of fluorspar
and also produces barytes, aspart, ce-
ment, iron ore, lead, lime, mineral

FALLoN FACTORY HAS $4,000
BAGS OF SUGAR ON HANT

Up TO the present about $4,000
bags of sugar, worth under ordinary
conditions in round figures, $5 per
bag. have been turned out this sea
son by the Nevada Sugar company.
OF this, 5000 bags are in Reno, while
5000 bags are piled up in the factory
wareroom. The total amount of beets
raised for the factory this year is esti-
mated at 10000 tons, of which about
1000 tons remain unharvested and
the late freezing weather has imposed
considerable handicap upon those
engaged in the work of moving beets
from the field to the factory, for un-
til nearly midday the ground has been
so full of frost for the past week that
beets could not be lifted from the
ground with the plows. The weather
moderated considerably yesterday
which should facilitate the work in
hand.
As result of the recent unfavor-
able weather the factory has not been
running up to capacity, though the
usual forces are retained and the va
rious processes are being maintained
When it is known it costs 1000 per
day to operate the Fallon factory, the
itdi VI thN fAS't " '''N@A
Frost is apparent.
The campaign will be concluded in
about fifteen days, when the other
matters incident upon factory conduct
will be taken up by the management.
Naturally the chief task at hand now
is the marketing of the seasons pro
duet of sugar. This must all be mar
keted at home in order to return a
profit TO the factory, for shipping be-
yond the states borders to the out
side markets can only be done at a
loss. Thus the Importance of this
states residents loyalty to the home
product is shown. If Nevadans only
understood what the Fallon factory
means to their state as its greatest in
dustrial enterprise no chance would
be lost in helping make it the great
success conditions warrant. But un-
less home folks will use home manu-
factured sugar within their house
holds the hope of the further opera
tion of the factory during the next
few years is not even a forlorn an
tieipation. 1t will be impossible and
Nevada will be denied its only sugar
plant.-Churchill Standard.

FIRST FREE WOOL ENTER
ED COUNTRY YESTERDAY

lesterday there came into effect one
of the provisions of the new Under
wood tariff law which excited the
most heated discussion while the
measure was pending in congress. This
is the free raw wool clause, which
exempts from duty all wool of sheep,
hair of the camel and the like animals,
all paper twine for binding such pro-
ducts, all wool wastes, including noils,
top, card, slabbing, rowing, ring, yarn,
bur, thread, and garnetted wastes all
shoddies, mungo, flocks, wool extract,
carbonized wool, carbonized noils and
other pastes not specially provided.
One month later the new rates on
wool manufactures provided by the
Underwood law will come into opera
ton.

NASHVILLE STU.
Dents AT NIXON

The lovers of the good old time
melodies will be certainly well enter
tanned next Friday evening, December
5th, at the Nixon opera house, with
the delightful tunes of the old south
ern ballads of the time before the
war. The Nashville Students has al
ways been a company especially select
ed by the management for their sing
ing quality. 1t has long been con-
ceded that none can get the harmony
and music of those songs like the real
negro. There is also added to the en-
tertainment plenty of good clean
comedy and some of the latest and
most popular ballads of the day. The
show is especially for the ladies and
children. There Is nothing so enter
tanning as a good singing show and
management of the Nashville Students
certainly had that in mind when he
selected the present company. From
the time the curtain goes up there is
always something doing either in
singing their old southern ballads for
which the negro is noted for or some
of the latest songs of the present day
with which the entire company sing
in chorus. If you can only afford one
show this year let it be the Nashville
Students.

S.P.RICHT-OF-WAY
TITLES QUIET[D

A Washington press dispatch, under
date of yesterday, says that the Fed
eral law of 1912, validating the con
veyances of land by the Union Pa
cific railroad within its right f-way
and providing for application of local
rules of adverse possession, was up
held today by the Supreme Court, but
interpreted as not being retroactive
as to make effective occupation prior
to its passage. The rights of hund-
reds of settlers are said to be deter
mined by the decision.
In 1864 congress passed law Civ
ing the Pacific railroads a right-of-
way 200 feet from the center of the
track on each side, in addition to
other lands and cash subsidies. When
the country began to settle up and
towns sprung into existence along the
road application was made by many
parties for town lots within the right
of-way. Then the question arose
whether or not the railroad could con
vey title to the property, owing to
the fact that the land had been dedi
Gated by the government for the
specific purpose of railroad use. To
overcome this objection the railroad
decided the land to the Pacific I'm
provement company. which in turn
conveyed to the private owners.
But as the railway officials and
the officers of the Pacific Improve
ment company were practically the
same, titles acquired from the latter
corporation were looked upon as
questionable. To cure this defect
bill was introduced in the senate,
about a year ago, by Senator w. A.
Massey, which was passed by both
houses and signed by President Taft
in short order.
The decision above referred to is
the last chapter in this important
land matter. Owners of lands within
the railroads 200 feet in Golconda,
Winnemucca and Lovelock are now Sc
cure in their titles.

SILVER QUEEN WILL
WORK ALL WINTER

Operations have been started by
the Silver Queen Leasing & Mining
company on the Zadow group near
Hamilton and at least two men will
be employed all winter on develop
ment work, say the Ely Expositor.
The property is situated in Rocco
canyon and is crossed by several fine
assures from which good productions
OF ore has been made. The present
work is being done in the north-south
fissure to reach the main east west
fssure. The distance is 365 feet, of
which 30 feet has been accomplished
and it is expected the east-west fs-
sure will be reached before April of
next year. Near the surface of the
east-west fissure two feet of ore run
ming $50 to 800 is found and as this
fissure is known to contain good ore
at depth it is confidently expected
that production can begin shortly af-
ter the fissure is cut by the tunnel.

THE GUY AT THE CRANK
AT THE NIXON
(By the Guy.)

Did you ever go to a picture show,
To sit in the dark and stare,
And wonder how in creation
The pictures got up there?
1t isn't the soft slick manager
Whom you have got to thank;
It's the half baked, oily son-of-a- gun,
Who cusses and twists the crank.
He goes to his little by-four
Ironedlined like prison cell;
He starts to make the film chase thru,
And soon it's hotter than-welI,
You talk of the steamship stoker,
And the heat of his fires bank,
But the stoker's dream is like ice
cream
To the chump who turns the crank.
To sit in the show is where you go
To sit in the dark and stare;
You forget there's another world out
side
When you're snugly seated there;
You watch the actors play their parts;
To you it's all dream.
But it's very real to the guy at the
wheel
OF the picture show machine.
.i
oh. where do operators go
When they leave this vale of tears?
Is there some cool place in celestial
space
Where they pass their after years?
Or do they mingle with the throng
Where suiphurous fumes are drank,
And hear Old Nick when the flames
are thick
Shout Hey, there. twist the crank.
