CLEANING
UP THE MAD

Mr.. Stine killed coyote that rout-
ed SOW out of her pen and then oc-
cupied the bed himself There is no
doubt but what the SOW was bitten.
Ed Weston and Alvin Groth were
fixing fence in the canyon when Mr..
Weston discovered coyote. He hur-
riedly crawled under the fence and be-
gan throwing stones at the coyote.
tween the two men they stoned him
to death.
Mr.. Groth and c. c Wheeler killed
two coyotes that were undoubtedly in
the first stages of madness. Mr.. Groth
also killed rabid dog that had bitten
a hog for a Basque living above the
Sheep ranch. The hog died, as also
did a COW, and later horse died OF
rabies.
A mad coyote was killed at McDon-
nel's. The coyote rolled their pet dog
over, but on examination it was found
the dog was not hurt, so its life was
spared, but since then another coyote
made its appearance and chewed the
little dog up pretty badly, SO in all
probability, if the dog is not killed
a case of rabies will develop.-Jordan

ONE OF YERINGTON'S
UP TO DATE
THRIVING INDUSTRIES

How many of our citizens have ever
paid a visit of inspection to the only
manufacturing industry we have-the
ice and bottling plant owned and op-
Grated by c. NJ Coddington Since
becoming proprietor he has rearrang-
ed the interior, placing bottling ma
chine, large filter, charging tank,
pumps, motors and other machinery
at considerable expense, and now has
one of the most complete establish
ments in the State. He has added two
cold storage rooms that are perfec-
ton as scuh Also a large storage
room for keg and bottled beers, in
fact everything used in the business
in the different departments is thor
oughly neat and clean and up to date.
The ice that is made is as clear as any
that is cut from natural ponds or
streams. He keeps one team hauling
to and from the depot all the time
and during the hot season two teams
delivering ice, soda and other bot
tied goods in the city and it keeps
them busy. The plant is busy place
form early morning to late at night.

NEWLANDS RANCH
TO BE SOLD
SMALL TRACTS

The Vail, or Newlands ranch on
the Carson River, above the Lahontan
dam, is to be cut into small tracts
and from Is to 40 families settled
upon it, according to announcement
made by p L. Flanagan. The ranch
comprises $500 acres, is cleared and
is in meadow grass and alfalfa.
According to Senator Flanagan,
there isn't a stone on the entire tract;
there is plenty of wood for all pur-
poses and all is river bottom land,
in character a black loan suitable for
intensive farming particularly adapted
to the raising Of vegetables. Flani-
gan guarantees a perfect water right
and offers terms to those who will
settle upon the tracts that are most
attractive.
Senator Flanagan wants to be shown
that a prospective settler on the tract
has sufficient money to buy horses,
farming implements and make the
necessary improvements and he viii
make prices and terms so low and
reasonable that he declares the home
can be purchased from the products
of the farm. He declares that every
section of the State will be tributary
to produce giown on the tract, as it
is within three miles of the railroad.

MANY CHANGES
IN LAWS RELATING TO
HOMESTEADS

A number of laws enacted by the
recent session of Congress, of much
interest to homesteaders or prospec-
tive homesteaders, were SO over
shadowed by the larger public ques-
tons that little publicity has been
given to them. In resume of the
legislation pertaining to the Depart
ment of the Interior, by Secretary
Lane, are enumerated the following
new laws:
Appropriation of $l4,0O0,0O0 to be
expended in reclamation work in 1916.
The creation of Board of Review
in land cases, in the Office of the Sec
retary of the Interior.
Authorizing the President to pro-
vide a method for opening land re-
stored from reservation or with
drawal.
Allowing the husband to select the
residence for both parties in case OF
ntermarriage between homesteaders.
Allowing division into two periods
of the FIVE months absence privilege
of the three-year homestead law.
Heretofore must all be taken n one
continuous period.
Allowing a homestead entrywoman
to perfect her claim, although she may
lose her citizenship by marriage to
alien
Allowing the deserted wife the right
to offer final proof on her husbands
entry and receive patent in her own
name.
Extending to South Dakota part
of the enlarged homestead law per-
mitting 32o-acre entries.
Validating entries under the en-
larged homestead law where parties
had partially exhausted their l6O-acre
homestead rights.

CATTLE RUSTLERs IN TOLLS

The Offices of the Sheriff and the
District Attorney have been particu-
larly active the past few days and as
result seven men have been placed
under arrest for stealing cattle and
sheep All of the arrested parties are
from the vicinity of Wells, where it
is alleged cattle rustling has been
more common than in other parts of
the county, says the Elko lndepend-
ent The Cattle Association of Wells
has determined to make an effort to
wipe out cattle rustling in that sec
ton, and the members collectively and
individually are said to be giving all
the assistance within their power to
the officers to this end. These whole
sale arrests have created considerable
of a sensation, and rumors are rife
that there are more to follow.

ELECTION LAW
CHANGES STARTS AN
EARLY CAMPAIGN

An editorial in the Carson Appeal
few days regarding the political sit
uation and its future has orused con-
siderable comment on the probable
candidates who will be in the running
for United States Senator next year,
says the Elko Free Press This being
the highest Office in the gift of the
people, it naturally follows that they
are wondering why the campaign is
being started so far in advance of the
election.
Under the old primary law any can
didate could get into the running up
to few days before election, but
this law was repealed by the last Leg
islature, and the one now in force Is
along the lines of the old convention
system. In August of even numbered
years the voters are given an oppor-
tunity to elect State and county dele
gates who meet at the county seat IN
September and adopt county plat
form and nominate candidates for the
various county and precinct Offices
On the first Tuesday in September
the State delegates meet at the State
capital and adopt State platform and
nominate candidat for all Offices to
be filled by the electors of the State.
Under the primary election, in force
until last March, party politics were
at low ebb. 1t was every many for
himself, and many were the queer
deals put across. This was the main
objection to the primary election law
1t destroyed party unity and took
away the power of the party leaders
The law now in effect restores their
power, to large degree, and makes i.
possible for each party to center on
candidate and give him loyal support
Ii is the restoration of the party
leaders that is the means of opening
the campaign at this early date. In
stead of the candidates going to the
people with their fight, they must
now look to the delegates who are Sc
lected to the convention, and the pres
ent is none too early to begin the
good work.

FARMERS WHO SUCCEED

Reasonable Methods Are

Those who are interested in devel-
oping the agricultural resources Of
Western Canada in bringing to the
notice OF those whom they desire to
take part in this development present
only the facts. There has never been
given the impression that farming in
Western Canada could be carried on
without effort or labor, but 1t has been
successfully stated that better results
can be secured with less outlay OF
capital, either in money or labor. than
anywhere else on the continent. This
has been proven time and time again.
Hundreds of cases could be cited
where men have taken up farms,
either homestead, or purchased from
railways or land companies, and with
little capital at the start have ac-
quired a competence, have established
good homes for themselves, and pro
vided a sure future. They have COM
