WE CANNOT DOPE OUT
A HEADLINE FOR THIS

From the Battle Mountain Scout :
We have the raw materials in abun-
dance for the making Of great com
monwealth, but they have been al
lowed to lay fallow and desolate
while, in mounting numbers. recla-
nation and colonization projects in
our neighboring states to the east
and west, and north and south. have
been conceived, launched and car
ried to successful finish with re-
suits that added population. prestige
and increased riches to those pro-
gressive realms. We have too long
been content to pursue the policy of
'laissez faire;" we have wilfully Sc
cluded the light OF our vast re-
sources under the bushel basket of
indifference and buried our talent
of gold in Fabian n.orass. BY fail
ing to provide passage for the Car
of Progress, 1t has but followed the
lines of least resistance and DETECTED
from our border into the territory
of our more enterprising neighbors.
That II is now turning toward Ne
vada is not exactly due to local en-
couragement, but rather to diminish.
ing opportunities in our sister states.

ADJUSTMENTS
BUTLER THEATER

The program tonight at the Butler
will consist of a VIM. Fox production
in which Theda Bara appears in
the leading role. 1t is drama of
present day life, entitled "Destruc-
ton" and deals with woman whose
love of luxury, gratified, plunges thou
sands of workingmen's families into
dlrest poverty and suffering. "Des-
truction" is an educational photo
play; educational from the artisans
viewpoint as well as from that OF the
student of economics. Were it not
for the dramatic story woven through
out it's many scenes, it might pass for
one of the greatest industrial films,
for much of its action takes place in
one Of the largest steel mills in the
country. The blending of the indus
trial and the narrative sides of the
picture, however, is exceptionally well
done and neither suffers thereby, The
preliminary reel will be George
AIDE comedy.
Tomorrow. Charles Chaplin II

comedy, and THE Caveman." BLU

THOUGHTFUL LECTURE
TO THOUGHTFUL MEN
FORMER MAYOR SElDEL OF MIL.
WAUkEE HOLDS AUDIENCE
IN CLOSE ATTENTION

AT large meeting held under the
auspices of the Socialist local In the
Airdome, Emil Seidel from Milwau-
kee, in strong terms condemned the
preparedness" program and held out
to his audience vision OF a future
TO our country which, he said, would
place us second to none. He asked;
How, after you have that army
of 100000 which Garrison demands,
are you going to be able to throw
such body of men with all that goes
with II, from the Atlantic across the
continent to the Pacific with nothing
but an Anticipated railroad system
under control of an inefficient man
agement?"
"What we should have and what we
need for our national family, is line
across the continent built as straight
as the crow flies, cutting down hills.
filling in valleys, bridging streams "a
roadbed planned wide enough to al
low for Is to rs tracks. This is the
economic and Industrial backbone OF
our nation From this backbone you
should build like ribs, lines running
north, south and diagonal. Such a
railroad may cost as high as one to
two million dollars mile. Ii may
take you a century to complete the
sytsem for the country"
He said: What we must do is to
plan in continents and think in cen
turtles. Build as family not for to
day. but for many centuries to come
The loss. due to unemployment, il
eliminated would give us all the
money that we need TO build such q
system" Another thing he asked fol
is that the water which now floods
the lowlands and destroys millions In
property should be turned into cleo
tricity to turn every wheel In the
land.
The audience remained with Mr.
Seidel until long after 10 o'clock.

SOUTHERN NEVADA
CATTLE THRIVING
GRAZERs' GAIN WILL ovERBAL
ANCE SMALL LOSSES
THIS SEASON

The growing importance of cattle
raising in the southern and west
ern part OF the state and particu-
larry in the Goldfield district is evil
denced in the increasing number of
range cattle that are being grazed
on the ranges of this county and the
adjoining district ,r Nye county.
Several shipments OF cattle in large
numbers have been made by the
Humphrey-Reed Cattle company with
in the past few months. The Ka-
wich district, east of Goldfield, is the
principal range for the grazers OF this
district, although the Ida section Is
also coming into prominence. and
several grazers have located herds in
that part OF the county, says the
Tribune.
Jake Humphrey, of the Humphrey
Reed company, in a recent interview
stated that the situation for cattle
men OF the so-called desert stretches
OF the county was more promising this
year than for several seasons past.
The chief reason for the increased
possibilities in grating and fattening
cattle on the desert this year, accord
ing 10 Mr.. Humphrey. il the large
amount of precipitation that has fall.

mise OF plenty OF water far into the
spring and early summer The grass
IN the Pine creek district, where the
Humphrey Reed company has a large
herd Of cattle, is over three inches
high and gives promise of making a
large crop this season.
Commenting on the loss due to the
heavy storms throughout the state and
particularly in this section, Mr.. Hum
phrey stated that the losses will BE-
more than offset by the resultant gain
in the amount of range feed available
this season. The cattle of this sec
ton have not suffered loss in weigh
nor have there been many reports o

Several reports from the Reese rive
section which stated that grazer
there suffered considerable losse

though there is no foundation t
them. Cattle in the northern part o
the state have shrunk considerabl
in weight yet. with but few excer
tons, there has been no serious los
to the ranchers.

BUzzARD NEWSPAPERS
GETTING UNDER WAY

With a national and state political
campaign but a few months away. il
is limited that several new newspa-
pers are TO be established in different
parts OF the state, and the announce
ment coming at this time gives but
one conclusion, and that is the sup
port Of certain candidates. who be-
lieye that they will need favorable
publicity to further their desires.
The late Nevada Democrat is fair
example of the certain end OF politi-
cal sheets, backed and controlled by
out and out politicians, This class OF
publishers carries absolutely no
weight with the rank and file of the
party it is supposed to represent. Sub
sidized as they are. the reading pub
lie soon become acquainted with the
real motives of their existence, and
the end soon follows. However, while
they live, they often work great
hardship to other legitimate news
papers in the immediate vicinity
through unfair competition and price
cutting This they are able to do TO
the time being on account OF the sup
port of the candidates who become
their temporary hackers. For In
stance: If about half the ranchers II
this valley were owned by what ar
known as gentlemen farmers" VIII
farm for pastime and dispose Of thei
crops without profit, the Legitimate
farmers, who would be working for
living for their families, would neces
sarily be unable to cope with the sill
uation and ruin would soon follow
