DOLLARS
TO

DID the Nevada stockman make a
profit when he was selling a fatted
steer weighing eleven hundred pounds
for twenty-one dollars? That was
less than W cents a pound.
Only seven years ago the price was
but three cents a pound. Now the
Chicago market is bringing seven and
a half cents and a thousand pound
steer is worth seventy-ive dollars.
The stockman's expenses are no
greater now than they were a dozen
year ago. perhaps a little less. If
ne broke even when he sold at twenty
one dollars then all he now gets above
that sum is profit. This is why near
ly every Elko county stockman comes
10 town in his own automobile.
In 1914 there were 1924 head of
cattle assessed in Elko county. Some
of these were young stock not ready
for the market. If a third of these
are sold each year here is an out
put of three million dollars.
Thus 1t Is that the stock industry
Is Elko's principal source OF income.
The quarantine order number IL that
Governor Boyle has Just issued to
guard against the foot and mouth dis.
ease concerns every resident Of the
county. 1t would be a great calamity
II this disease should get a foothold
among Nevada stock. The governor
Is wise in taking every precaution.

The Note and Bryan.

The Presidents note was carefully
scrutinized tonight for a feature
showing a radical difference from the
preceding notes that led Bryan to re-
fuse to sign IL. No such difference
was found and no reason whatever
Is seen for Bryan's refusal to afflx
his name to it after having signed
the notes Of February 10 and MAY
II.
On the day Of his resignation sir.
Bryan said that his coming statement
would explain why he could not sign
this note after having signed the
two others. Nothing was found in his
statement OF last night furnishing
such an explanation. Consequently
all Washington was looking to the
note itself TO disclose the reason for
his action. Not even Mr.. Brvan's
statement Of tonight is regarded as
explaining why he signed the first two
notes and refused 10 lend his namo
t. the third.
In the note OF February 10. follow
Ing Germany's war zone proclamation,
Mr.. Bryan Is credited with having
warned Germany that she would be
held to a strict accountability" for the
acts Of her naval commanders. Ger
many was also warned over Mr.
Rryan's signature that the United
States would take such steps as were
necessary &c protect Americans In
their rights.

firm and f%orceful. a characteristic

While the President retains the con-
viction expressed in his note of May
Is that submarines cannot properly
be used against merchantmen, he does
not demand that Germany abandon
their use altogether. II she find
"A way to carry on her attacks with
nj violating the principles the United
States is undertaking to uphold.
In this note, as in the previous
one, the Presidents specific demands
relate only to the Safeguarding of
American lives and American ships"
though he again denies the right OF
Germany to endanger the lives of
"non-combatants" in the course OF
her attempts to capture or destroy
unresisting merchantmen.
1t is felt here that the way is open
to Germany to meet the views of the
United States If she will but permit
her submarines to be exposed to the
same risks that a torpedo boat de-
stroyer or other warship daily n
counters.
