USE OF SPAWN NOT TO
BE ALLOWED AT ALL

The use of spawn for bait, whether
brought from another state or taken
locally, is illegal, according to l.. X.
Gregory, fish and game warden of
this county, who announced yester-
day that he would arrest and prose
cute any persons caught using it
when the fishing season opens next
Saturday. Gregory's announcement
followed inquiries by a number of
fishermen, who had the idea that
spawn brought from another state
could be used.
The fishing tackle business is
booming. according to the proprietors
of sporting good stoores, and the dis.
ciples of Isaac Walton are all ready
to cast their lines into the Truckee
and other Nevada streams early Sat
urday morning. The river rose
again Tuesday night. and Wednesday
morning, but not enough to injure
chances for good catches on Satur-
day. 1t is expected that a noticeable
drop will take place by the time the
season opens.-Journal.

poultry products of eleven western
states and the territory of Alaska was
contaminated here today, when the
stockholders of the Jensen Creamery

The new concern. as its name indi
Gates, is to be a mutual organization
The "producer-stockholde and the
patronage dividend" are to be two
leading features of its working plan
Every producer with who the company
does business will be a stockholder
in the concern, the articles of incor

EFFECTS Of THE
HARRISON LAW

When the Harrison law became eff.
fective. March /, II was widely pre-.
dicted that the result would be a be.
sieging of hospitals by crazed drug
addicts. crime wave of national
scope and trail of suicide and death
across the country. A month has
passed, and while the results have not
been as terrible as the early hysteria
painted them, have not even approx.
mated the glaring headline predictions
of the yellow press, they have never.
theless been apparent to physicians
and to others who come in daily con.
tact with drug traffic. From two cities
come reports which are evidence of
this fact. In the PHILADELPHIA General
Hospital--and this is true of practic.
ally every hospital in the country in
which drug addictions are treated
the number of admissions has greatly
increased. Without doubt the law has
forced numerous habitues, who other
wise might have been satisfied to con.
tinue as such, TO apply to physicians
and institutions for treatment. Furth-
er, there is no doubt that the large
majority OF these unfortunates will be
freed of their habit.
The increased admissions to these
hospitals do not represent an increase
in drug addictions; they are simply an
objective manifestation of the opera
uon OF the Harrison law. The re-
port from the Sock County coroner's
office presents the opposite side of
the picture. 1t points to the suicide
who anticipates his suffering as his
supply of drugs ceases; it indicates
the ever-hopeful victims who seek sur
cease of pain in deadly nostrums, and
1t hints at the deaths from sevondary
causes in weakened tand collapsed
bodies. 1t should again be ampha-
sized, says The Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical association. that these re-
ports are not evidence of the exist
ence of enormous numbers of drug
habits; rather they represent the toll
o. a new law and the throwing of
light on hidden evil.

STRAnGER DIES At
THE HOT HOLE

About noon today boy notified the
sheriff's office that there was a sick
man at the hot hole west Of Elko, and
that he believed him to be dying.
Sheriff Harris accompanied by Justice
Castle went to the hole and when they
arrived they found the man dead. He
had evidently suffered stroke of ap-
poplexy.
From papers found on the deceased
1t Is believed that his name is Cor
nelius O'Connell. He is a stranger
and was evidently tramping through
the country. From several men who
were at the hole it was learned that
OConnell had been washing his
clothes and bathing. Suddenly he fell
over as If in a faint and those who
were with him applied snow to his
face and otherwise attempted to re-
store him, but he did not recover con-
sciousness and in a few minutes pass
ed away.
His body was taken to the morgue
and an effort will be made to locate
his relatives. Justice of the Peace
Castle will probably hold an inquest.

UNIVERSITY MAN TO
ASSIST IN EXPERIMENTS

Archie Trabert, Is. is the first Ne.
vada man to obtain a position install.
ing the new pumping experiment
plants. Trabert left for Elko Tues
day night, where he is to assist l.. X.
Kinney, '12. in installing two expert
mental plants. The industrial school
at Elko is to be the first site used
under the new proposition, says the
U. of N. Sagebrush
The idea of the pumping expert
ments, as explained by Dean ]. G.
Scrugham, the originator and sponsor
OF the plan. is to determine accurate
ly the exact cost of a second foot of
water ,as obtained by pumping. After
the cost is obtained, by cooperating
with the various power companies
through higher efficiency and reduced
power rates, the cost of the second
foot of water is to be reduced to a
point where the actual benefit will
exceed the cost.
After some little difficulty, Dean
Scrugham has arranged to employ
half the men on these plants, the
other half to come from Washington
as federal employees. Needless to say,
the half Dean Scrugham will secure
will be University of Nevada men.

CIRCUS WILL AAIVE
THIS AFTERNOON

On account of the big storm that
was raging in Wlnnemucca this morn
ing when the Barnes Circus arrived at
that place. 1t was not considered pos
sible to show there today as adver-
tised and as a consequence the circus
trains did not unload but continued
on their way to this place. They viii
arrive here between four and Ave
o'clock and a number of the tents will
be pitched this evening for the shell
ter of tic animals and actors.
The advance agent advised an In
dependent reporter today that there
is little doubt that the circus viii be
held here. The storm so far will not
materially interfere, and unless a
heavy wind should come up everything
will be held as advertised.
AS all of the circus people and the
followers will be here all night 1t
would be well for those living in the
residence portions of town particular
ly to take extra precaution to guard
against burglaries.

RECENT WORK
ON CANCER

The remarkable studies of Maud
Slye on the inheritance Of cancer in
mice are yielding positive results Of
great significance and interest Miss
Slye's work shows that in mice the
tendency to develop cancer is trans
mitted from generation to generation
in exact accord with the laws of he
redity 80 that it can be bred into and
out of strains of mice at will. She
has bred cancer through ten genera
tions, and in the stock of ten thous-
and mice under observation at present
spontaneous cancer Is always present,
arising almost without exception in
strains Of known cancerous ancestry.
The proper representatives Of such
strains of mice "carry cancer into a
strain with which they are hybridlzed
as inevitably as all albino mouse car.
ries albinism into q pigmented strain
with which It is hybridized, and with
exactly parallel behavior of the char
acter."
IL is not cancer as such that is trans.
mitted, but the tendency OF the cells
to produce cancer under suitable con-
ditIons, which appear to arise especial.
ly as the results of all kinds Of local
irritation, reminding us of the un.
doubted role that chronic irritation
plays in human cancer.
The mass OF evidence presented
warrants the generalization that in
mice cancer tendency Is a transmits
sible character, whatever the actual
cause of cancer may be. This Is
positive result, the full significance
OF which makes It one Of the great
contributions to our knowledge OF can.
Ger. While the exact study Of the In
fluence OF heredity in human cancer
at present is practically blocked be-
cause not enough facts can be obtain.
cd, there are no known exceptions or
notifications to the laws of heredity
which would Justify an opinion that
