The Paige-Detroit plant is also work
ing up to the limit night and day. the
same as the Studebaker Corporation. This
company has prepared to produce 600
cars this year. and judging from the
manner in which the orders are coming
in and the agents who were lined up in
the office the other day. there is every
reason to believe that this will be q rec
ord breaker for the company. Their car
this year has been somewhat of a. sensa-
ton and never has there been such a
demand for their line as this year. The
demand for cars is far greater than any
officials of the company expected New

thing is moving along like clockworx
The maximum production a day is about
thirty cars. Ground will be broken next

Coyote BOuntiGS May
Be Collected Twice

Ely Expositor: From the large num-
Der OF coyote scalps brought into Ely
lately by persons who seem to be trap
ping the animals just inside of the Ne.
vada line a question of doubt has arisen
in the minds Of some of the officials as
TO the advisability Of paying the bounty.
White Pine County requires the scalp
OF the animal to be presented and 1t APP
pears that Utah pays bounty on the
front feet. Now, the question is, do
the 'rappers take the front feet Into
Utah. bring the scalps to White Pine
and sell the hides to the furriersf If so
this skin game ought to be worth most
q trapper's time.
When two States put a bounty on a
noxious animal arrangements should be
made to require the same trophy from
the animal. Collecting bounty twice on
the same animal is such a standing Joke
that IL don't seem possible the public
would fall for it again.
