EMPLOYS ARMY OF AGENTS
PAID FROM STATE FUNDS
TO ACETATE SCHEME
Haskell ORIGINATES idea
State Allows Five Cents Per
Name to All Successful
Legislative Bills,

OKLAHOMA CITY, June 10 CSpe-
cial)-In the event that the five
constitutional propositions that are
being circulated by heutenants of At
torney General West are adopted at
the polls the people through the state
trsauery Will assist in financing tho
West campaign.
1t is estimated that West has from
400 TO 500 men out travelling over the
state obtaining signatures to petitions
for the initiation of his proposed
amendments to the constitution. Each
Of these workers will secure a fee of
five cents for each signature obtained
in case the proposition becomes "A part
Of the constitution. While the petit
tions are being circulated each ~
these licutenants is a travelling sales
man for West political stock. II
therefore becomes patent that If the
people endorse the program of the at
toruey general by adopting the pro-
posed amendments they Will also con-
tribute the funds through taxation
which the West Haskell boosters aG-
yanced in travelling about the state.
1t is said that former Governor
Haskell saw the possibilities of tho
situation and through his wise polit-
ical head the scheme was devised
whereby the state could be flooded
with West noutcnauts who at the
same time would stand a good chance
cf having their expenses reimbursed
from the state treasury
The last legislature passed 4 bill
providing for the payment boy the
state Of D cents per name for every
signature 10 a petition circulated un-
der the initiative or referendum which
became a law.
State Senator Campbell Russell,
the champion initiator Of oklahoma.
was first to take advantage Of this
new law. While making his race for
the Democratic nomination for repre-
sentative in congress from the Second
congressional district, ne also cir
culated petitions TO initiate now gen
cral revenue bin to take the place Of
the one which was declared TO be In
valid by the supreme court Now the
EIaskell-Wcst forces are taking advan-
tage Of the scheme which II success
ful will bring I'm something in eX-
cess Of $1,000 with which 10 reim-
bdrsc the West-Haskcll campaign.
Former Governor Haskell visited
oklahoma city sunday and had
second conference with state polite
ians II is said. however, that he
spent most Of his time conferrinR and
advising with the men in charge OF
West headquarters in this city. Tho
former governor tried to line up some
Of the state officials for the attorney
general. but failed to gain any new
converts Two officials whom he sent
for, refused to go to the Haskell par
lors at the hotel Another answered
the summons but came away uucon-
vinccd Ii is reported that the for
NOR governor made an effort TO line
up some Of the members Of the state
election board for West, but failed 20
accomplish any results Tho Cruce
forces have the election board well
in hand and II has not yet been al
lowed to slip into the control Of any
candidates for governor. II Is said.

HENS DO BETTER WITHOUT
ROoSTERS DURING SUM

The music NOT NEEDED
The Music in the Barn Yard Is
Not Appreciated by Insom-
MIA Troubled Persons

The World.-Nour educational cam
paign upon the functions and useful
ness Of the rooster is to be com
mended, as it Is especially appropriate
at the beginning of the hot season
when the entire city is sleeping out
OF doors, or as nearly so as possible.
1t has long been known that a
rooster is not necessary in barn
yard in order to obtain the largest
production of the egg product, indeed,
the department of agriculture has
demonstrated, by long series Of eX-
perimcnts, that the hen will lay
longer and an egg which will preserve
better when there are no roosters
about Also, il Is matter of no re
cent discovery that summer chickens
are a failure, that Is, it is not profit
able TO set her with eggs laid after
June J., and IT IS generally agreed
that the most efficient rooster is the
one Matched during the prior spring
From all Of this the department Of
agriculture has concluded that the
rooster is not only not necessity, but
is not even an advantage during the
months beginning June ! and ending
November !
Aguist keeping the roostcrs during
the summer. particularly in the city,
the following potent reasons have been
found.
First. Fertile eggs do not store
well
Second The hens do not lay with
quite the same regularity, or az least
not go large a number Of eggs are re-
covered.
Third The upkeep OF fowl dur
ing tho months beginning June ! and
ending October I and the fowl &c
kept ls not MS valuable during It's sec
ond year or thereafter as the rooster
Of the preceding spring.
while the agricultural department
Of the United states has investigated
the matter from n purely economic
standpoint there is another view
equally az important, and one which
our good uoighbors often overlook,
namely that the rooster is the
noisicst bird which we come In CON
tact with. and his habits are such
that his noise is greatest at the time
when humanity is seeking It's most
beneficial rest During the summer
period and since II has been found so
necessary TO health that we sleep in
the open air, the rooster beco"'es the
greatest nuisance. oftentime begin
ming his Growing at - o'clock at

Would any chicken owner suffer
financially II he should follow the
course recommended by the depart
ment Of agriculture of the state OF

AMALGAMATED READY
TO INCREASE TONNAGE

During the past week preparations
for mining on the 18th and 14th
levels were completed and r is
now coming from the 18th, 18th
and 14th levels. 1t has been neces-
'sary to hoist on all three shifts of
the twenty-four hours in order to
handle the tonnage which is being
broken. The ore sorting crew has
been increased and a night shift
added. The rejects from the sorting
are placed upon stock piles which
are now growing very rapidly.
A larger number of men are en-
ployed at the mine than at any time
heretofore. and the payroll to be dis
tributed Jan. 10 will be correspond
ingly heavy.
The water flowing into the mine
or the bottom level is gradually d.
minishing Gas the territory which
has just been unwatered drains) and
as a result the pumps are handling
the water with greater ease.
In anticipation of the increased
ore production, additional mine cars
and other equipment YER ordered
and a very large stock of coal has
been laid in.-Pioche Record.

SOCIALIST CANDIDATE
GAINS ON RECOUNT

Judge Somers returned from Ton.
opah last night after closing the
contest for the office Of justice of
the peace for Tonopah townhip.
The contest was initiated by p. J..
Gallagher, democratic and republi-
can candidate for the office against
Harry Dunseath who vas on the face
of the returns reelected. Dunseath
is the socialist leader and has held
the office of justice of the peace for
n term. His majority was report
ed at 35. Gallagher alleged fraud
but was not able t oprove his state
ments, as the final showdown gave
the socialist candidate an added ma.
jority of ten.
The most remarkable feature Of the
recount was that fifty ballots we're
rejected for various reasons and q
snap count of the vote on sheriff
showed the vote stood exactly where
it was before the rejection. A con-
test has been started for the office
of sheriff by Will Thomas, social
list candidate, but 1t is likely that
this will be abandoned in view of
the developments.

NENZEL BUYS CLAIMS

Joseph F. Mcneil. the father OF
Rochester, gaining the paternal title
by virtue of being the locator OF the
lodes which now are producing so
heavily, is in Tonopah for a few
days and is a guest of the Mizpah.
Mr.. Nenzel said this morning: Il
have purchased the Fairday claims
at Cactus Peak, twenty-seven miles
southeast of Goldfield. The ledge
outcrops the entire length of the
holding. A carload of ore was ship
ned from the surface and it gave re-
turns of ST. to the ton. On the
1OO-foot level I am getting values
up to $115. Development work on
the property will be resumed i'm
after the first of the year.
Contrary to current reports, / am
still interested in the Rochester dis
trict and am engaged in running a
tunnel which / believe will cut
veins at depth and be of greater val
than on the surface-BOnanza.
