FOREST RECEIPTS
SHOW INCREASE

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Receipts
from grazing permits on the national
forests for the season of 1915 will con-
tribute to the public revenues approx
imately $l,200,000, or about 100000
more than last year, according to an
estimate made from the allowances
just authorized by the Secretary of
Agriculture. The forests this year will
furnish forage for 1,9S3,775 cattle and
horses, 8,747,025 sheep and goats, and
64 ,040 swine, the figures indicating a
material increase of meat production
on the government-regulated ranges.
The increase of 92,656 cattle and
horses over the allowances for 1914,
is accompanied by a decrease of 120,-
SS1 sheep and goats, showing that in
many parts of the West sheep are Civ
ing way to cattle. It is thought that
the recent high price of beef has been
encouraging many farmers and former
sheep men to go into the cattle busi-
ness, though it will be the first time
in the last five years that the allow
ance of sheep has not increased over
that of the previous season. There are
localities, however, where the demand
for sheep range is far in excess of the
supply.
The grazing charges are slightly
higher this year. In the West the rates
have been fixed at 4S to 90 cents per
head per year for cattle and horses,
and 12 to 1S cents for sheep and goats;
in the East the rates are frem S5 cents
to $3.50 for cattle, $1.10 to $500 for
horses and 25 to 40 cents for sheep
and goats. Pigs pay from 90 to 43
cents in the West and so to 80 cents in
the East.
The grazing allowances indicate the
relative Importance of the stock busi-
ness in the various parts of the West
in which the national forests are stu
ated. The forests in District No. 2,
which embraces Colorado, Wyoming,
South Dakota, Nebraska, western
Kansas, northern Michigan and north
ern Minnesota, are allowed the largest
number of cattle, 522, $50 head, and
next to the largest number of sheep,
1,397 500 head; District No. A, COM
prising Utah, southern idaho, western
Wyoming, eastern and central Neva-
do and northern Arizona, the second
largest number of cattle, 431 ,150 and
the largest number of sheep, 3,335, 500;
District No. l, comprising Montana,
northwestern Washington northern
Idaho, northwestern South Dakota and
southwestern North Dakota, 193,5l0
head of cattle, and 1,304,500 head of
sheep; District No. 3, comprising Ari-
zona and New Mexico, 41S,900 cattle
and 905, 800 sheep; District 5 embrae-
| ing California and southwestern Neva-
da, 212,2s0 cattle and sos ,050 sheep;
District 6, comprising Washington, Ore
gon and Alaska, 159,250 cattle and
l 12s0, 500 sheep; District 7, which in
cludes Arkansas, Florida, Oklahoma
and the states in New England and the
Southern Appalachian region, where
forest reservations have been purehas-
ed by the government, 46,,1 cattle
and 1850 sheep.

animal PERFORM
ERS WITH CIRCUS

The AL. G. Barnes big three-ring
wild animal circus will exhibit in Win
nemueca on April 30, giving perform
ances at 2 and 8 p m.
Much can be claimed for the origin
ality and genuine merit of this big
circus. There is all the pomp and
splendor of the circuses we have
known in the past. All the glittering
tinsel, sawdust rings, inspiring music
and grand entrance of stately horses,
ponies, elephants, performers and
clowns. Peanut and Pink Lemonade
vendors cry their wares and add to
the general good spirit; yet, when the
ognizes a wide departure from the con-
has prevailed since the earliest days
of tented entertainment.
Instead of the usual, one sees the
very unusual in the Barnes program
The principal acts are done by edu-
Gated wild and domestic animals in
two rings and a big steel-barred arena.
These animal actors number 60 and
are trained to an amazing degree of
proficiency. Such vim and dash dc
they put in to their work that not a
dull moment is experienced from the
grand cavalcade entry until the final
group of man-eating lions are driven
to their cages.
There are acrobats, jugglers, aerial
performers, high divers, bareback
riders and all other forms of circus en-
tertainment but, instead of people ap-
pearing in the acts, wild and domestic
animals take their places. Lions, leop-
ards, pumas and bears ride galloping
horses; sea lions juggle balls and other
articles, dogs and monkeys jump from
the top of the tent into nets; elephants
act as clowns and do many other com
cal things; high school horses and
beautiful ponies appear in brilliant
dances and military drills, in fact al
most every species of animal is shown
as an actor.
Twenty-four man-eating African
lions are introduced in one act, the
most sensational wild animal act ever
shown. Sixty tigers, leopards, pumas,
jaguars and bears are presented by a
coterie of young women trainers.
A great array of clean, clever come
dy permeates. the entire program, pro
vided by dozen really funny clowns
and fifty comedy elephants, dogs
goats, monkeys, ponies, zebus and
Danger, Dynamite-mules
A glittering mile-long street parade
in which four bands take part is pre-
sented to the public at 10:30.

Pomeroy, convicted of robbery in
Humboldt county, and sentenced to
serve from two to five years in the
penitentiary,. has been revoked by the
State Board of Pardons, following an

discovered he had succeeded in almost
bringing about a strike of prisoners on
the state prison farm.

NEVADA DIVORCE DECREE

According to a dispatch from Balti-
more the Maryland court of appeals
decision has created CONSERVATION

Maryland, making children of the sec

the decision makes void all remar-
riages based on deerees of Nevada or
other states obtained without bona

Yesterday w. s. O'Brien, known as

ed on a warrant sworn out by J. L..
Stafford Complainant claims that while
he was examining property in the

who claimed the property from having
located it on the last day of Che year.
O'Brien has been living at Sunshine
for the past ten years, being alone

practically the entire district. There
are many people who have observed
the mans erratic actions who believe
that he is deranged and should be re-

MARCEL RAMELLA
SHOT BY A. SfLLA

At about 2 O'Clock this afternoon
Marcel Edmond Ramella was shot by
Adolph Sella, at the latter's Roman
Tavern, on Railroad street.
The sheriff IS office was notified and
Sella was placed under arrest and
taken to the county Jail. Ramella was
taken to the county hospital and Dr.
Giroux was summoned, who upon max
ing an examination found that the in
Injured man had been shot in the left
side, two and half inches below the
nipple, about half an inch below the
heart. No attempt was made to probe
for the bullet and the injured man
was made as comfortable as possible.
District Attorney Powell and Just
ice Dunn visited the hospital few
minutes after Ramella reached the in
stitution, and took an ante-mortem
statement, although it is hardly
thought that the injured man will die.
According to Ramella's version OF
the affair, he and Sella engaged in an
argument as to who was the best
wrestler and took hold of each other
in a friendly scuffle. He claims that
upon perceiving that Sella was becom-
ing angry, he left the saloon, and while
standing in front of the place Sella
came out and shot him.
But one shot was fired, and the bull
let passed through Sella's wrist, strik-
ing Ramella as above stated Upon
arriving at the county Jail Sella re
quested that DIR. Hall be sent for TO
attend to his injured wrist, which was
done.
Sella has conducted the Roman Tav-
ern, in company with A. Pasquale, in
the latter's building on Railroad
street, for the past three or more years,
and has always borne an excellent rep
utation. Ramella, who is young man
evidently between 25 and 30 years of
age, resides in Paradise Valley and
is a brother of Mrs. Lorenzo Reean-
zone.

Great Wheat Boom.
(By Joseph f. Pritchard)

Chicago, Jan. 16.-The more RAM
pant bulls on the Board of Trade are
now talking $1.75 and possibly Il
higher price for wheat on the crop.
The manner in which exporters have
been bidding for this grain as well as
flour and the fact that they have con-
tinued to advance their ideas because
of the competition between millers and
exporters shows to the bulls that
there are many possibilities on their
side of the market. A new high level
was reached yesterday at 1.45l4 for
May wheat, with the low price for
the day 1929. 1t was a difficult
matter to trade in the May futures
because of the small offerings. A
feature of the days business was the
sale of 100000 bushels of Duluth
No. 1 northern spring wheat now
sfloat at Buffalo, to the American
commission for relief in Belgium.
Spring wheat stocks at Buffalo are
reported as largely concentrated in
the hands of a Duluth exporter. This
holder predicted some time ago that
wheat would sell at 1.50 some time
ago and he now says it will reach
LIS and possibly higher. The entire
country seems to be on the bull side
of wheat, as well as flour, and the
latter commodity was taken in good
amounts today for shipment abroad.
