LOOK OUT FOR
COUNTERFEIT A|CKELS

Counterfeit nickels have made their
appearance in Elko and II would be
well for those handling change to be
on the lookout for them. They bear
the date Of 1896, but are new in ap.
pearance. They are decidedly smooth,
and comparison will show them TO be
smaller In diameter and thickness
than the genuine coin.
They are easily distinguished II a
little care is taken, as the lines are
not sharply cut and the rim is smooth.
This with their smooth feeling will
make them easily distinguishable to
the person who is the least bit care.

DECLARES FLEET WILL GO
THROUGH CANAL IN JULY

WASHINGTON, Apr. 24.-Secretary
Daniels reiterated yesterday without
qualification that the Atlantic fleet will
pass through the Panama canal to the
Pacific in July.
Some doubt had been expressed as
to whether earth movements would
have ceased by that time and enough
dredging would be done to make the
channel of sufficient depth.

through and will be in the canal July

BUYERS AND SELLERS
CANNOT AGREE

There is a deadlock, as it were, be-
tween the wool buyers and the wool
sellers OF this part of the state. There
are said to be seven buyers here from
various parts of the United States,
and all of them want the wool clip of
Northern Nevada, but the difference in
the price they offer and the price that
is asked by the sheepmen, a matter of
several cents per pound, has resulted
in no sales up to the present time.
Local sheepmen learned a costly les
son last year, and undoubtedly they
learned 1t well. II was this: Supply
and demand governs the price of wool,
and it makes little difference whether
we have a republican or a democratic
administration
Huyers from the east came in year
ago last fall, just after the election of
President Wilson, and they set up a
calImity howl which was taken up and
echoed throughout the state until
sheepmen became panicy. They then
proceeded to secure contracts for wool
and many a clip was contracted for
ate eleven and twelve cents. When the
time came for the delivery. conditions
had adjusted themselves in a large
measure, confidence was returning,
and the market price was from sixteen
to eighteen cents. This meant to the
sheepmen collectively lcrs of several
hundred thousand collars. The buy
ers naturally reaped big harvest.
This year the sheep men have found

They therefore, asked for reductions
all along the line.

mittee was appointed, Rinehart,
OF Pennington, objected that the
special committee had no power
tc examine witnesses, and there
seemed to be some disposition to
act on the suggestion till Bielski
saw the point and rcmedied mat
tcrs by suggesting that the speci-
al committee be given these pow
elS.
by the way, there are a large
number of matters pertaining to
the organization of the new
counties that should have legisla-
tive attention, and Mr.. Bielski is
now prepared to introduce in
the house several bills touching
upon these matters. One will
provide IA method for the COM
Inissioners OF the new counties
to qualify. The law is now silent
upon this. Another bill will
fix a basis from which to deter
mine the salaries of the officers
Of the new counties, for which
no provision has heretofore been
made. A third bill will provide
for transcribing the records, at
IA cost fair to the officials and
to the taxpayers of the new

Haakon and jackson counties
representation in the next leg
stature. Another measure would
provide for Haakon county to
remain part OF the Sixth judi

when court shall be held.
