SHEEP STATES
THIRD INDUSTRY

That the sheep inrustry in Nevada
is third in its Importance, although
closly pressed by the cattle business,
and exceeded only by railroading and
mining, is evidenced by figures COM
piled with great care by this paper,
which for days has been receiving re-
ports from sheep men and officials. In
coses where the figures varied, an
average was struck, says the Gazette.
Although the tax commission found
fewer than 100000 sheep in Nevada,
there are other sources of information
which fix the number at 1,490, 900.
These latter figures seem to more
nearly approach the correct number,
for it is of record than annually
there are $4,000 slaughtered here or
sold beyond the borders of the state.
The approximate value of these
sheep and lambs slaughtered or sold
is 1915 head, making a total Of
about $2,0OO,000.
Wool produced in Nevada per year
will average 11,500,000 pounds, and
the average price in 1914 thus far
has been $13.25 per 100 pounds, al
though contracts have been written
for as high as IL cents. The total
amount received for wool was in the
vicinity of $1,500,000. In the figures
thus far given no computation is made
of the money received for rams or
other breeding stock.
Sheepmen employ directly 1000
men, paying them an average wage
oe $46.50 per month, including board,
or total labor account spent in Ne
vada in one year of about $1,000, 900.
Labor employed in handling, shearing
and feeding will easily add 5000, 900
t. this total annually.
This does not include supplies, land
holdings, winter ranches or summer
homes of the owners.
Next to the cattle business, the
sheep business is Nevada's largest
used for range purposes are almost en-
comprise the outskirting sections Of
mountain valleys, sagsbrush flats
where irrigation is not practiced thus
far and where snow and winter rains
provide the necessary water supply.
Nevada, according to several au-
thorities questioned, has almost reach
ed its limit in wool and mutton pro-
duction on open range but the pos
sibilities of close-fence sheep raising
have not even been prospected yet.
This line~-of developments, together
| with the general tendency toward
bettering conditions, is expected 20
improve the gross receipts yer ma
terially from the sheep industry in
this state.

WOULD ESTABLISH SUMMER
WHITE HOUSE AT RENO

Although the divorce laws of the
state of Nevada have been amended
so that the city of Reno is no longer
IN the news columns every day, Rep.
-esentative Roberts, of that state
managed to boom the towns fading
memory yesterday by introducing a
bill to establish summer White
house at the former divorce colony
site. Mr.. Roberts figures that the
town which could stage such an event
as the Johnson-J Jeffries prize fight
would do excellently as the summer
home for the chief executive of this
nation.
The bill carries an appropriation Of
$780, 900, and was referred to the com.

And will not be insulted;
So when the editor gets smart,

Occasional encounters between l..
w. w. and members of the Western
Federation of Miners is all that re-
mained yesterday of the fight in
Miners Union hall at Tonopah, in
which one man was shot in the leg.
The trouble began when mem
bers of the Western Federation of
Miners tore from the walls "unfair'
placards against three hotels, posted
by Industrial Workers of the World.
Three organizers of that body
were jailed. One gave the name of
Pensier' The others, Stephens and
McGuigen, arrived from Goldfeld,
and replaced the posters torn down.
The police ordered them to stop and
locked them up when they refused.
Justice of the Peace Dunsneath
obtained bail for them, but they pre-
ferred remaining in Jail. The town
is much wrought up over the affair.

Sawtelle, "Brother Bill' and all
around good fellow, they were met at
the train by large crowd of repre-
Narder's Ragtime band.
The special consisted of nine cars
and was en- route to Denver to the Su-
preme Lodge meeting. When the
train stopped it was greeted by many
cheers and the music of the band and
lit was but a moment until they were
all on the platform shaking hands
with Winnemucca.
After couple of selections had
been rendered by the band, the visit
ors were invited to board the waiting
autos and take a trip around town,
which they gladly accepted, after ar
rangements had. been made to hold
the train until o'clock, and they
were shown around the "city by gas
light and upon their return they
were almost violent in their express
sions of appreciation for the courtesy
shown them, as it seems it was the
first of any kind they had received on
the trip.
Those who so kindly assisted are to
be commended for the interest that
was taken, as these little stunts -

"WIlD WEST SHOW"

made its appearance in Winnemucca
today, giving a street parade shortly
after clock This afternoon it is
playing at the show grounds, near
the Southern Pacific stock corrals, to
a small number of people, no doubt
attracted more by the sight of a can
vas top than by any merit the show
may possess.
It's principal exhibit is its nerve in
bringing such phony show to a
county where a hundred or more men
hold records of some sort as riders
