While the railroad agents have
9een busy handling applications for
heir land units in this project, the
government agents have not been
idle. The meanwhile they had re-
ceived about 20 applications up to
last evening for units of the public
domain lying within the project and
applications may be made all day to-
day, the number may be increased
substantially over this figure. In
all 90 units were restored to entry
by the secretary OF the interiors ord
er. who has also by special order
made possible filings on and after the
22nd of this month on all lands not
included in the drawing. which will
be held next Friday. Several units
have been applied for by more than
one applicant.

OFFERS BEING MADE FOR HAY SUGAR MARKET is MUDDLEO
Buyers Are Here Proffering Nine
And Ten Cents a Day For Winter
Feeding Beef.

Hay sales in this valley are in the
doldrums, just as they are in every
other valley in the west, if reports
are to be believed. Cattle buyers
who have appeared to date are Of
fering but nine and ten cents per
day for feeding their hay to stock,
which would make the hay bring the
raisers, after feeding 1t out at their
own expense, about $3.50 to $500
per ton. 1t is said that a concerted
effort will later be made to induce
large shipments of both beef and
mutton to this valley from other
parts of the state for fattening here
for the coast markets. w. A. Ked-
die, manager of the Warren w. Will
liams estate, states that he will
shortly have about 5000 head of
mutton sheep on the ranches near
here, while he is directing efforts to-
wards getting others of the Elko
county stoekmen to ship stock here
for feeding. He is optimistic and
believes that there will be larger
number of feeders here this fall and
winter than at any previous time in
the valleys history.
While $3.50 to $500 per ton for
hay fed at the growers expense,
does not seem like lucrative figure,
yet there is no question but that,
everything figured, it is as good or
better than selling at $500, (. o. b.
the cars in Fallon baled. Just how
general the demand will be at these
figures is difficult to forecast at this
time. AS a matter of fact every hay
raising section within Nevada is
making the same efforts to attract
stockmen as is being put forward To-
cally. Other things, such as the
matter of accessibility and general
feeding conditions will enter into
the stockmens' figuring, and it yet
remains to be determined in just
what measure our valley will find
favor with those Nevada stockmen
who will buy hay this fall.

Johnston Price, son of Rev. |. e.
Price, formerly local NJ. E. pastor,
now in a like position at Cedarville,
Cal, and Miss Janet Parsons, cousin
of Mrs. G. NJ. Gardner, who made
her home with DR.. and Mrs. Gardner
for many years, an estimable and
cultured young lady, were married in
Reno Monday evening. This union is
the elimination of long and con
genial association and is true love
match.
The groom is a student at the
state university, where his excellent
scholarship resulted in his appoint
ment as assistant teacher. 1t is un-
derstood that the newly welded
couple will make their home in Reno
until such time as the groom COM
pletes his university course, when
he plans to enter medical school and
prepare for the practice of medicine,
which profession he has selected as
his life's vocation.

More Uncertain Than For Long
Time And Selling Prices Vary
Greatly.

The sugar market, despite the
high prevailing figures for the COM
modify. is exceedingly slow, accord
ing to reports from over the country.
Last week a raise of 25 cents was
recorded, yet the sales, owing to
general heavy buying, have been at
a low eb from coast to coast. The re-
finers quotations are: cane, s725;
beet, $500. But in the meanwhile,
resales by jobbers are being made
the country over on a basis varying
from 5000 to $6.35, which figure
has really controlled and has added
a decidedly muddled conition to the
market
1t thus appears that there is a diff
ference in sugar prices represented
by book and actual sale values and
somewhere in the process manipu-
lation is occurring that works.
hardship. The unsold product of
the Fallon factory has been moving
extremely slow. Retailers generally
oaded up at the outset of the raise
n price with the result that most of
hem are in a position to care for
heir trade until around January
lst. The result, natural of course,
is that these same tradesmen will
hold off until the last moment from
further buying in the hope that
there will be a break between now
and then, as it is deemed that the
and probably cannot hold up.
1t must seem that the talk of
$1,000 per sack for sugar as result
of the European war is the result of
dreams of fancy pure and simple.

Injuries Prove Fatal.

Geo. w. Plant, aged So years,
resident of Nevada for many years,
suffered Injuries near Sand Springs
Thursday morning, when the three
wagons of the j. N. Tedford teaming
outfit, formerly handled by VIM.
Reed, passed over his body, inflict-
ing injuries from which he died Fri
day morning. Here but few days,
during which he occupied a cabin
with j. l.. Buckley, whom Reed shot
to death Wednesday, the deceased
assume the task of handling the uut-
fit formerly in Reeds care. TaGt IL
fate should overtake him when he
had proceeded but few miles seems
strange. He was accompanied by
helper who stated that Plant fell
from the tongue of the wagon from
which vantage point he was urging
horses in his team to greater exer-
tlons. Being an old man he failed
10 avoid the wagons and suffered ter
rible injuries. A widow, a son 23
years of aye, and daughter 10 years
old, all residents OF Stockton, CAL,
survive him. His remains were cared
for here and shipped to that point

Justifable iiom.c:',e Being Held

J. l.. Buckley, a teamster who op.
Grated his freighting outfit out OF
Fallon for several years was shot and
almost instantly killed by VIM. Reed
at Sand Springs at about O'Clock
last Wednesday morning Reed,
who is generally referred TO locally

was released upon bond of $500.

aged about 60 years, was the aggres-

unfortunately ended in his death
An iraseible old man, he arose OIL

drove, had gotten loose and partially

the second entered his abdomen,

minutes after Buckley had been car

from the corrals, where the men
were eneamped for the night.
Several eye witnesses were pres

defendant when arraigned.
The matter of binding an accused

TW|TS HER HUSBAND
IN SUIT FOR DIVORCE
Mrs. Alice L. Reed Denies His
Accusations, and Calls Him
"Wife Deserter."

Mrs. Alice L. Reed filed an answer
in the District Supreme Court today to
the petition of her husband, Richard
B. Reed. a steamboat captain, for a
limited divorce, in which she twits him
for his claim that he is afraid of her,
and calls him wife deserter'' in ad-
dition to making other allegations.
All the principal accusations made by
her husband are denied by Mrs. Reed.
who points out that he is giant in
stature, weighing over 260 pounds"
while she is slight of build and
weighs only 125 pounds. She denies that
she threatened his life with a revolver.
but claims he abused her and deserted
her.
Her life has been one of grief, unhap-
piness and distraction. resulting from
his unreasonable, inexcusable and un-
manly desertion and abandonment of
her and her little Ones" says the
answer, which was filed through Attor-
ney Robert E. Mattingly.
The cuckoo, it's said. Is the most
desDised of birds because it casts off
its responsibilities: the cuckoo father
will become the most despised and re-
jected of men, concludes the answer.
One allegation made by Mrs. Reed
was that she drove from her home "a
paramour of the plaintiff" without
naming the alleged affinity she charac-
terfzes her as "a creature" IAN undesir-
able and lady"
The Washington times., 1914-10-23

Members Of Congress are getting impa-
tient to have a public building bill put
through. The clamor from some of
'the boys" at home for public build
ings will be strong after election time.
The Treasury is holding back various
public building projects just now. in
spite Of the fact they are authorized
and appropriated for. But it cannot
well do this long without exciting much
protest
Temptation To Spend.
Old hands at the business of appro-
priations make the prediction that the
war tax measure is not going TO make
for economy. They admit that it will
cause demand on Congress and the
Administration to go slow in expendi-
lures. But. on the other hand. they
point out that plenty Of revenue Is al
ways great temptation to large ex-
penditures.
Should the European war close in a
few months more or should 1t cause
by it's demand for American products
try would have plenty of funds. 1t Is
the history of Congress that public
officials and members of Congress
have a great weakness for a surplus.
If there Is anything that bears re-
mote resem blance to a surplus, every
man in House and Senate has an eye
out to grab a part of 1t for his par
ticular locality or his particular legis-
lative project. SO, If some Of the wise
ones figure it right. the war tax will
make the existence of the Appropria-
lions Committees even more troubled
than 1T has been, and that is saying
/ good deal.
