Big Price For Ranch

What is said to be one of the big
gest real estate deals ever transact
ed in Douglas County was consum-
mated last Saturday when Richard
Fricke sold the Virginia ranch to
Chris Hellwinkel for a sum exceed
ing $50, 900, the exact figure not be-
ing made public, says the Gardner
vile Courier. The new owner is to
take possession not later than March
20. At present Mr.. Fricke is feed
ing a large number of beef steers
and the date of the transfer of the
property rests with the shipment of
the steers. The purchase includes
approximately $50 acres of the best
land in Carson Valley, nearly every
acre of which is under the highest
state of cultivation. Also all stock,
farm implements and the like, Mr..

Tom O'Neil Gets Is Months

Thomas O'Neil, who had been en-
gagged in running a dance hall in Ely,
and against whom white slavery
charges have been standing in the
Federal Court at Salt Lake City,
pleaded guilty to the charge on Tees
day last and was Immediately SEN
fenced to Is months in the federal
prison at Fort Leavenworth. Hehad
been tried on two other charges for
the same offense, and was declared
not guilty by the jury. The plea of
guilty in this case came as a surprise
to his friends in Ely, but the SUPPOSE
ton is that a compromise was effect
ed with the Government, whereby
the charges against his business as
~sociate, Miss Ruby, (also under in
dictment for the same offense) will
be dismissed.
The Government has received a
conviction in every case brought in
Nevada under the charge of white
slavery.-Ely Record.

ELKO MERCHANT SHIPS
GRAIN BY PARCEL POST

The Elko Free Press says: The
w. T. Smith Company Wednesday
shipped a ton of grain to the Prim-
eaux Company at Tuscarora, consist
ing of wheat and oats, the shipment
going by parcel post. At this time
of the year there are no freight
teams on the road, and it is a diff
cult task to get through at all. The
stage comes through every day owing
to the fact that they have made prep
arations for the bad roads and at
different stations have extra relays
of horses to replace the exhausted
animals which pull the light vehicle
through the mud. But when Uncle
Sam installed the parcel post and ex-
tended the limit to so pounds he prob
ably did not know that roads ever
got in such condition. The charge
for mailing the grain is SLIP per
hundred, making the total cost of
transporting the ton $22.40. AS this
is less than the regular teamsters
would charge it looks as if the stage
driver will have to put OIL a big line
of teams to haul the freight that will
be sent by parcel post.

Side attended, and with Mrs. Thomas
Kitchen acting as superintendent.
Miss Clara Rosevear as secretary,
Miss Minnie Martin as organist, and
Mrs. James Jurey and Mrs. Richard
Harris as teachers, the school was
carried on in the usual manner. 1t

the people seem anxious to reopen
it, it will probably be continued.

WEDNESDAY, NIGHTS ECLIPSE
Astronomical Wonder That Ar
rived On Time and Pleased a
Large Audience

Witha clear sky, the people of this
section of Nevada had a fine view
Wednesday night of the moons
eclipse. which was observable
throughout North and South Amer
lea, Western Europe and Western
Africa. 1t was visible to millions and
millions of persons.
AS the moon rose over the noun
tain east of Eureka it was seer that
the earth's shadow had already COW
cred about one-third of its surface,
but from that time on until there
was only a small piece of the moon
visible about s o'clock-it was a
most entertaining sight.
Immediately after the height of
the eclipse had been reached the
bright edge began to broaden, and
at ga o'clock, the moon had COM
pletely passed out of the shadow,
three hours and two minutes after
the eclipse began.

New Tax Rolls Satisfactory

Tax Commissioner Emmett d.
Boyle has returned from his official
visit to Washoe, Humboldt and Elko
Counties, where he demonstrated
the feasibility of the new method,
perfected by the Commission for the
County Assessors.
Mr.. Boyle says a better under
standing of the new system resulted
from his visit. The new roll is a de-
cided improvement over the old
method. 1t had already been adopt
ed in four counties in this State and
is in use generally throughout the
United States. The work of the
Auditor is reduced sevenfold and that
of the tax collector in excess of 20
per cent.
Under this arrangement, together
with the budget system which has
been required of each county, the
reduction of the tax rate, where in
creased valuations in assessments re-
suit, will not be defeated by the
claim that the Auditor cannot extend
the changes in the time allowed by
law, an excuse that he could very
legitimately make under the old and
cumbersome system of the past.

PRICE OF WOOL ADVANCING
Market IL On The Jump And Increase
of Is I % 20 Per Cent Expected

Winnemucca Star: The wool mar
ket is on the jump, despite the re-
moval of the tariff. In Nevada the
Eastern buyers got in on the ground
floor and have purchased approx
mately rs per cent of the States
clips before it has been removed
from the sleeps backs. Prices have
averaged considerably higher than
last year, sales having been made as
high as Is cents. Last year few of
the sheepmen realized more than 10
cents a pound for their wool, most of
which was sold while the protective
tariff was still in effect.
Late reports from London indicate
an increase of Z IL per cent on the
prices for merinos and 10 per cent
on other grades.
In Montana the market is very ac-
tive and nearly a million pounds was
sold last week at from 16 to 18 cents,
with an offer of 10 cents refused for
one of the largest clips. The Mon
tana wool is cleaner than the Nevada
and always sells for about three cents
more per pound.
Considering the activity of the
market and the situation as reported
from London, buyers for Eastern
houses who are working in Montana
expect a further increase in price Of
from Is to 20 per cent.
