New Town. New Paper

But few people in the northern
and central part of Nevada know
that a new town is springing up in
the southern part of Nye County, in
the lower end of the State. Yet
there it is, and it has already risen
to the distinction of being able to
support weekly paper. The name
of the town is Carrara and the paper
will be known as the Obelisk. There
are several industries working in
that section, principal among which
is a marble quarry operated by a
Los Angeles company. and it is ex-
tracing and shipping quality of
marble equal to the Italian product.

THE NATIONAL WOOL GROWERS
SheePmen Are Advised to Try and
Meet the New Conditions

Speeches in which low ebb for
the wool growing industry was
prophesied, were mingled on the pro-
gramme of the National Wool Grow
ers' Association convention in ses-
sion at Salt Lake City last week,
with addresses in which it was de-
clared that flockmasters would rise
to a greater era of prosperity by
adopting more scientific methods to
compete in an open market.
A resolution authorizing the ap-
pointment of a committee to attend
the cattlemen's convention in Denver
next week and to cooperate with
them to obtain national legislation
favorable to the livestock interests
was passed by the convention.
j. E. Cosgriff of Salt Lake said he
believed the wool growing industry
not only would survive under the
free wool schedule, but would COM
pete successfully with the worlds
markets. To do this, he said, CO.
operation in marketing and the in
PRODUCTION of improved methods in
sheep raising would be necessary.
He announced that at his own ex-
pense he had contracted for an Aus
tralian wool-growing exrert to spend
a year in this country, showing the
advanced methods practiced in Aus
tralia.
Steps to reduce or to eliminate en-
tirely the profits of the commission
man were advocated by several
speakers. Former Governor Frank
Gooding of Idaho declared that the
producer was receiving scant consid-
GRAFTON and unless the influence of
selfish manufacturing interests were
curbed, they would destroy the ma
ton. He asserted that Secretary of
State Bryan was responsible for free
wool and added that the industry
could not prosper so long as the ma
tional administration was democratic.
Declaring that Government super
vision of the public domain was in
evitable, Mayor E. o. Selway of Dill
Ion, Montana, urged the members of
the association mot to oppose public
sentiment but to direct all their eff
forts to obtaining the wisest regula-
tions possible"
Instead of taking the stand the
woolmen originally took in opposi
ton to the nearest service" he said,
I'VE should appoint committee to
confer with the cattlemen and to act
in harmony with Congress. We are
going to have Government super
vision of the public domain and we
might as well get in line"
Mayor Selway's address struck the
keynote of a sentiment that has been
growing among the delegates for
change in policy of the organization
by leading federal regulation along
favorable lines rather than by oppos-
ing laws that seemed against their
interests. His address, which fol-
lowed a paper read by Associate
Forester A. F. Potter on Improve
ment in Range Conditions" precipi-
tated a discussion in which there was
argument for and against such
policy.
Those in favor declared that if
bill providing for system of leasing
public ranges was to be passed, ef-
forts should be made to obtain law
that would fit different conditions in
different parts of the country and
work no hardship on any particular

HAS NOxIOUS ANIMAL FARM7
"Trapper" Has Been Drawing
Heavily Upon Treasures of
Several Counties

Fallon Standard: Has Fred Nit
chell. a pleasant hammered gentle
man, who has been in and out of Fal-
Ion for a year past with large consign-
ments of coyote and bobcat scalps,
very much after the fashion of Fin
nigan's on agin' off agin'. noxious
animal farm and preserve, is he inn
porting these scalps from a land
where bounties do not operate against
these animals or is he really catching
the owners of the head gear which
he has been turning into cash via the
different county treasures of the
State? These are the questions just
now agitating the minds of the vari-
Gus members of the Churchill Coun-
ty Board of Commissioners.
1t seems that Mr.. Mitchell, who
may have the small boys put salt
on their tails" plan beat from every
angle in gathering in noxious ami
mails, commenced to feed County
Clerk G.. l.. Noble with scalp bills
about year ago, since when he has
deftly extracted from the county's
exchequer the sum of $533. Now
success in any line of endeavor is
dangerous and this instance is no ex-
ception. Five hundred and thirty
three dollars is tidy sum in these
days of governmental reconstruction
and it is so far beggared the results
obtained by other trappers in the
county that the commissioners and
clerk grew suspicious. Inquiry was
begun with the result that it was de-
termined that Mr.. Mitchell had col
lected scalp money during the year
just closed from the counties of
Ormsby, Lyon, Washoe and Hum
boldt in addition to this county.
Humboldt County paid him during
1918 the sum of $42O, Lyon SAL and
the other counties lesser amounts.
Just how Mr.. Mitchell has come to
be the Coal Oil Jof,nny Of the Nevada
scalp game at one jump is the sub
ject disturbing the aii.lds of local Of
ficialdom.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Mitchell's last con-
signment of 40 bobcat scalps has not
been paid for, but reposes in the
county vault for expert inspection.
If it is shown subsequently by the
claimant that the bobcats from
which the scaIps were taken were
Mr.. Mitchell's honest quarry, he vii!
be paid his two plunks per, but the
burden of proof now rests upon him.
In fact the affair has progressed to
that stage, where the county officials
feel free to invoke the good or bad
offices of the State police, whichever
way one is pleased to term it, to the
end that the genealogy of these bob
cats may be determined.
Just now there is a deep seated
suspicion that they were bred and
grew to maturity at some point in
the wilds of the northwest. Con-
firmatory are the scalps, which it is
claimed do not resemble in the least
the Nevada product, though Mitchell
claims to have found the unusual
species up Carson river within this
county's territory, where though ad-
mitting his residence to be in Reno,
he claims to maintain a trapping
camp.
