THE NEVADA SUGAR COMPANY
Elected New Board of Directors
And Outlined Policy of
Conduct.

The Nevada Sugar Company's an
nual deliberations are over; r. c.
Bailey and Gen. c. r. Hawley, rep
resenting the Michigan contingent of
investors have left for their homes
and the resume of the business
transacted should be wholly satis-
factory to all parties concerned.
At the meeting of the stockholders
last Thursday a board of directors
to serve throughout the fiscal year
was elected as follows: r. c. Bailey
and c. II. Hawley, of Bay City,
Mich, II. w. Hinze, of Santa Ana,
Cal. F. NJ. Lee, of Reno, |. II. Kent,
Thos. Dolf. l.. N. French, John Oats,
II. L. Roe, c. B. Likes and Fred
Hinze. The board was increased
form nine to II, by the addition Of
l.. N. French and John Oats, thus
allowing a quorum of seven for the
transaction of factory business from
among the local resident members.
No general manager was elected
nor Is 1t believed necessary, though
a factory superintendent will be
named later In the season. Mr.. Il. c.
Bailey will also return to Fallon
within the month and TO his person
al charge will develop many of the
duties incumbent upon the factory's
operation. He will probably spend
the greater portion of the year here.
Henry Hinze Ia again the corpora
tion's president and II. e. Roe sue
ceeded himself as secretary. Thos.
Dolf resigned as vice president and
was succeeded by |. II. Kent.
Mr.. Bailey is particularly we'll
pleased with the showing that has
been made this season by the farm
ers of this and nearby valleys, to
whose public spirit and desire to aid
the industry will be due seasonal
crop that is estimated as being about
one-half of what is fully desired.
Next season, it Is figured, this can
be increased to two-thirds with the
probability, that with the previous
object lesson afforded of profit ac-
cruing from sugar beet culture, all
the beets that can be handled by the
local factory will be rendered, from
that time forward.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT
Murder Trials Are On. Henry
Hopkins Found Not
Guilty.

District court commenced ses-
sion extraordinary Monday so far as
local precedent Is concerned, for
three murder trials are on the tapis
in addition to minor criminal mat
ters. Monday the case of the State
of Nevada VS.. Henry Hopkins, charg-
ed with burglary, was bolstered up
with evidence, argued and submit
ted to the jury, which after a few
moments declared him not guilty.
Hopkins appears to be one of Ma
ture's unfortunates who Is scarcely
responsible for his own acts and it
Is understood that relatives in Mas
saehusetts will shortly provide for
his trip east where he will be cared
for This is Hopkins second es-
cape from conviction on penal char
ges.
Yesterday was taken up largely
by the selection of a Jury to decide
the fate of Feliz Andrad, the Mexi-
can, charged jointly with Indian
Wego with the crimes of murder
and rape, the first trial being in con-
nection with the murder charge.
Andrad speaks no English and ac-
cordingly Is provided with an in
terpreter to convey to him the pro-
gress OF the events in court.

LAWS AFFECTING THE SCHOOL
THE HE
Money of State School Fund To
Be Loaned on Farms of
State.

Nevadas state superintendent of
public instruction In review of the
recent legislative accomplishments
affecting the states schools. has the
following to say in a state paper:
Investment of Funds.
"A piece of legislation of especial
interest to the schools of the state
and the university is the statute put
ting into operation the constitutional
amendment providing for the invest
ment of money of the permanent
school fund in county bonds of this
state.
"At the present the fund of the
schools and university is invested to
the extent of about s2.000.0OO in
bonds of the United States, Nevada
and other states.
"The net income received Is but
little over 3 per cent. This fund,
II re-invested in county bonds, will
bring in a net income of at least 5
per cent. which will increase the
state distributive school funds from
$4,000 to $4,000 yearly.
May Invest In Land.
"a third matter of Importance
was the adoption OF a resolution TO
further amend the constitution reia-
tive TO the investment of the school
fund to permit Investment In mort
cages on farm lands, which, It Is
expected, will net, eventually a larg-
er income than Is diverted from the
investment In county bonds.
This move is in line with what is
known as the Oregon plan. In Ore
gon the net income diverted is close
to 7 per cent and has been so for
several years. oregon's school fund
is largely invested In farm lands.
This kind OF investment has the
double advantage of giving the farm
er the needed loans at a reasonable
rate OF interest and of giving the
school a larger return than can be
obtained III any othef manner
Bond Issue Powers.
THE other school legislation OF
interest and Importance has been
along the line of perfecting rights
of school districts to issue bonds for
school purposes and OF the counties
to isue bonds for high school con-
struction.
while the legislature still may
authorize the issuance of such bonds
direct, In both district and county,
a more speedy and equitable way
has been provided for county and
districts, by popular election. to IS
sue such bonds when they so desire.
THE counties, heretofore. have
had no power or direct initiative In
matters of raising bonds for county
high school construction.

DEATH OF A GOOD CITIZEN
w. R. Staniger Passed Away
Yesterday After Short
Illness.

w. r. Staniger. resident of Fal-
lon for eight years. passed away at
DR.. Nichols hospital yesterday morn
ing at six o'clock, after an illness of
about week of appendicitis, to re-
lieve which an operation was per-
formed last Thursday by Doctors
Nichols. Ferrell and Dempsey. From
the outset the prognosis of the dis
>lse was alarming and scant hope
was entertained for his recovery
Deceased was a most exemplary
citizen; good husband and father
and his passing marks a distinct loss
to this community. the best inter-
ests of which were always served by
him. He was a member of the Fall
Ion NJ. e. church, having been con-
verted early in life to Christianity.
He was also member of Chur-
chill lodge, f. & A. M, and Ramona
lodge of the Eastern Star.
Deceased left widow and three
children to mourn his untimely TAX
ing away. William, the eldest child,
is seven years of age, Mary aged
three, and Baby, aged eight months
In addition the father. G. E. STAN
iger, is living and is a resident of
Roseburg. Or. j. E.. of Springfield,
Or, ]. A., of Coquille, Or, and Mrs
Will Smith, of Roseburg, Or, are
the remaining members of the I'M
mediate family of the deceased.
The remains were shipped today
to Roseburg, Or, where they will be
inferred in the family plot. Accom-
panying were j. e. staniger. who ar
rived here from Oregon before his
brother passed away and the widow
and the three little children who will
make their future home in Oregon.
The funeral will occur Friday un-
der the auspices of the Masonic or
der.
Had the deceased lived until the
26th of this month he would have
been az years of age. Always re-
markably powerful man, who scarce
ly knew his strength. he seemed the
least marked for death of any. To
his little family he was the embodi-
ment of everything that was good
and manly and he will be sorely
missed; to his friends he gave an
unusual portion of LOYALTY and de-
votion.

THING FOR CONTEMPLATED
DRAINAGE WORK HERE.

Several cars of tiling from Pitts
burg, Kans., are standing ON the
Fallon side track awaiting laborers
for unloading, for whom the local
project authorities are casting about
Twelve cars have already been un-
loaded. The tiling is first class in
quality, of diameter of 10, 10, and
15 inches and with the opening of
the contracts next Tuesday for the
drainage work contemplated, will
shortly be put to use. The govern
ment officials are not sure that any
contractor will come forward with
satisfactory bid, but aver that a
chance is now open for some enter
prising individual who will, if sue
cessful in the completion of the con-
tract now pending be rendered many
more similar jobs.
Should the government not secure
satisfactory proposals its subordin-
ates will set about and after buying
all suitable machinery conduct the
work of their own accord on force
account.

Miss Margaret Worthington, Leading
Commencing Friday, April 18th,
The Porter Stock Company will op-
en- a three days engagement at the
Temple theatre. The plays this
company will present are three of
the biggest hits the American stage
has ever had. The company is an
unusually strong one. Through all
the intermountain country they have
established themselves as favorites,
and return engagements are open to
them at every place they have play
ed.
The plays to be presented here
have all been seen in the big cities
and each one had long run in New
York and Chicago. And each play
has considerable history attached to
it.
"An Irish-American Cousin, the
first play to be presented, is high

NEVADA SAGE BRUSH WORTH
MORE THAN ALFALFA

A San Francisco press dispatch,
quoting from prominent resident
OF that city says.
II have secured some chemical in
yestigations Of the properties OF sage
brush, and such men as Professor
Sparkling of the Northwest University
of Chicago, Professor James L. Tam
mage, OF Salt Lake, and Professors
Jacobson and Dinsmore of the Uni
versity OF Nevada, unite In the decla-
ration that ton of sage brush con-
tains more than s23 worth of staple
chemical products. charcoal distil-
late, alcohol creosote. ETC.. which
can be extracted at a cost of SO per
ton.
"A railroad is selling land at IS
an acre. and inviting farmers to
come in and clear the land for al
falfa. The land already has 25 tons
of sage brush per acre. and can be
handled at a clear profit of $40 per
ton. Thus every acre OF sage brush
is worth $500. The sage brush is
worth more than the alfalfa. II the
settlers pay SO an acre to clear 1t up
and burn the sage brush instead OF
extracting the values.
THE sage brush is worth more
than all the mines in the west and
will pay a profit of 500 per cent on
the investment. Yet no one will
take 1t for capitalists prefer to invest
in sugar factories that pay per
cent year. when the crops are good.
The sage brush crop is sure. and af-
ter you clear the land II is fully re-
plenished in seven years without any
replanting, cultivation or irrigation.
Congressman Raker has taken
hold of the chemists report and is
bringing the matter to the attention
of congress. Eastern capital is al
ready investigating the matter with a
view of starting dry distillation
plants in Nevada and California.
I'm Michigan millions are invested
in the distillatio of hard woods. They
pay SIS a cord for the wood and make
money. Here they ought to do fair

PITTMAN ASKS FOR
ROAD FUND APPROPRIATION.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Sena-
tor Key Pittman of Nevada, yeter-
day introduced a bill in the Senate
providing for a grant of one mill
lion acres of public land to the state
of Neveda for the benefit of a road
fund
This bill proposes that the million
acres of land shall be under the con-
troll of the state officials the same as
state school lands are controlled and
when sold the money received shall
go into the fund for the construction
and maintenance of public roads
across the state. 1t is expected that
such a land grant will enable the
state to construct two highways
across the state for the use of auto
mobiles and other traffic.
Senator Newlands introduced an
other land grant bill for the benefit
of the University of Nevada. This
bill proposes a grant of 100000
acres to the State of Nevada from
the sale of which the income of the
state institution of learning will be
increased. Both these bills are very
important measures which their
sponsors expect to see enacted into
laws.

MERELY COMMENT

The Daily News yesterday discov-
cred another man who was "jack-
rolled" in the Desplaines street police
district.
The man was told he couldn't get
any more drinks in Rubin's saloon,
South Halsted, staggered out of the
place, and fell and fractured his head
on the sidewalk.
If the Daily News wants to correct
this state of affairs it might advo-
cate prohibition-or else recommend
that Halsted saloonkeepers keep only
the best booze. NJ
incidentally, both the News and
Judge Mahoney ought to get wise as
to what jackrolled really means.

Just at present Lord Roberts is go
ing about England crying out, Join
the militia, and be patriotic, or else
the government will have to enforce
military enlistment" But the Eng
lishmen are only pooh-poohing him
and all such as hold his ideas, for the
Englishman has discovered, during
the past few English wars, that the
average English soldier never fights
for himself, but for the money inter
ests of the lords and mobiles. The
English government is having a hard
time to get people to stand war tax,
and this tax is gradually growing
less.
As soon as the Frenchman and
German take matters into their own
hands, as the Englishman is doing,
the probabilities of war will grow less
and less in Europe. If governments,
who are swayed by banking and COM
mercial interests, cannot find men to
man dreadnaughts and shoot can
non then it will be useless to buy war
