DOCUMENT HAS IMPORTANT
HEARING on THE CASE
This document has an important
bearing upon the case. since counsel
for the German government contend
that by weight OF authority. such pro-
ceedings should deprive the United
States District Court at Norfolk OF
Jurisdiction in the case. The first libel
against the Appam was fled here Feh-

proceedings had started. according to
the document. Judge waddiIl was OF

TO admit this evidence. either as to

was reserved, to be passed upon later.
The document stated that the Appam
was brought in by the Moewe," while

GOOD PRICE FOR
SACEBRUSH ASHES

Nevada has long been considered
land of wonderful opportunities. 1t has
a long list of infant industries which,
in time are bound to develop into full
grown ones, says the Phoebe Record.
The latest to demand attention is COM
mercializing ashes from sagebrush.
Heretofore farmers who have cleared
off the desert acres have labored under
the assumption that the ashes were
worthless and that the burning of the
brush from the land has made up le-
gitimate bill of expense in preparing
the soil for the planting of grains.
Now it is claimed that the sagebrush
ashes contain potash in commercial
quantity and that they are really worth
money. This fact has recently come to
light and only few days ago M. l..
Lee, cashier of the Bank of Phoebe, re-
ceived letter from a chemical manu-
featuring company operating at Rich
mond, Va, offering him 800 per ton
fob. Phoebe for all the sagebrush ash
sent during the next half year. The
product is to be placed in sacks for
shipment.
It appears that experiments made re-
Gently at the University of Nevada de-
veloped the fact that the ashes from
southern Nevada sagebrush contain
sufficient amount of potash to make it
worth while. These experiments were
conducted by Prof. Romance Adams
and it was through him that the Vir-
ginia chemical company was placed in
touch with Mr.. Lee and bona fde
offer of 800 per ton made for the pro-
duct. It is claimed that samples of the
ashes sent to the laboratory of the
chemical company contained base of
81 per cent of soluble potash, and it is
here that the prospect of launching a
rev industry in this state becames in
teresting
From parties who have read up on
the subject it has been learned that
the extraction of potash from desert
growths is not new; that it is now be-
ing practiced in Australia with con-
siderable degree of success. Authorities
on the subject assert that the burning
Of sagebrush will produce an ash pro.
duct of from to 10 per cent; hence,
based on the lower figure, one ton of
crude sagebrush would burn to 160
pounds of ash, and this product being
worth 5 cents per pound would give n
return of So, out of which would have
to come the expense of cutting and
burning the brush, sacking the product
and delivery to the railroad station.
1t is surprising, to say the least, to
learn that plain sagebrush, which trav-
elers over the desert have been accus-
toned to using for frewood, is actu-
ally valued at So per ton and the ashes
therefrom 800 per ton and a Acton
carload $4,000.
1t would appear from the foregoing
figures that good money can be made
in this brush burning enterprise, if the
undertaking were gone at systematical
ly. 1t would be especially profitable to
persons who might have large area
ef sagebrush land to clear for them
selves, for it is safe to say that the
cost of improvement could be more
than met in commercializing the ashes
retained after burning the brush.

SHUBERTS Will BE
HEARD TOMORROW

The following is what the Cheyenne
Leader has to say about the Schubert
symphony club:
The concert given last evening at the
Methodist church by the Schubert Sym
phony club marks an epoch in musical
circles in Cheyenne. The musicians
number three, Leeta Corder, soprano;
Lavina Zendt, contralto; and Thomas
Valentine Purcell, basso and violinis.,
and are trio of stars the like of whom
seldom visit Cheyenne.
The program was diadem of gems,
rare and exquisite. In solo, duet or trio,
the three voices are distinct and indi-
vidual and a delight to an audience
that appreciated good singing.
Leeta Corder ranks first with a So
prano voice of marvellous quality and
range which the singer has under the
most perfect control. Slight and slim
of stature, she stood before the audi
enee, and the clear, pure tones, liquid
as a bird IS, seemed to soar to infinite
heights without a visible effort.
No tremor marred the tones which
trilled and thrilled, now in wild abau-
don of expression, again in softest
echo, like an angels whisper.
Her most brilliant number was Bal
letella (Pagliacei) by Leoneavallo, in
which the execution was simply mar.
velous, especially in the upper register
where the tones were sustained with
remarkable strength and purity.
Again in plaintive lullaby, and op-
ordinary triumph.
Lavina Zendt, contraito, was almost
as wonderful, her voice having an un
usual sympathetic quality that mag
netized those who heard her.
Her tone production and enuneiatiof
were faultless. 'The Nightingale ,:
Lullaby,o one of Purcell's compost
tions, was her best number.
| Special mention must be made q
the vocal trios by the soloists, in which
the harmonies of the three voices were
exquisite.
The two ladies also sang a duet
"The Love You Bear Me- from "Tht
| Bohemian Girl" with violin obligato
Mr.. Purcell has a variety of accom-
plishments He is master of the violiI
and the mandolin, possesses a baritone
voice, deep and rich, that was heard
in the splendid trios.
In his violin selections, he displayei
rare genius in technique, and an in
spired Interpretation of the soul of th'
masters as unveiled in such compos
tions as Faust Fantasy, Adagia (fron
Fourth Concerto) and the Hungarian
| Gypsy Dance.
Mr.. Purcell is composer himself
and several of his compositions wer'
included in the program, and given a
encores, which were generously ten
dered at the insistenee of the audience
instrumental numbers were inter
spersed. giving pleasing variety
Leeta Corder played the mandolin, La
vina Zendt the guitar, and Mr.. Purcell
the mandolin.
The closing number was Delibes
Hunting Song, in special arrangement
sung with piano and stringed accompa
niment, and the audience fingered spell
bound after the last thrilling notes ha'
died away.

Heaviest Storm in Years

Ray l.. Fisher, observer of the local
weather bureau station, states that the
present storm, which began early Mon
day morning, is the heaviest for ten
years. At the end of the storm last
night, the snow on the level in Winnie
mueea measured twelve inches, eleven
inches of which had fallen since Sun
day night. The depth of snow on the
ground at this place is greater than az
any time since 1906, when a depth of
147 inches was registered.
The total snowfall since January 1st
is 1874 inches and the precipitation for
the same period is 1.s2 inches. The
normal precipitation for the same pc
riod is 6s of an inch and for the whole
month 1.04 inches. The precipitation
for the present storm amounts to .63
of an inch.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY PIONEER
JOURNALIST DIES IN RENO

Henry A. Waldo, pioneer attorney
and former newspaper man died yester
day in Reno hospital, following lin
gering illness. Judge Waldo, as he was
familiarly known to many friends,
came across the plains from Ohio in
company with T. V. Julien in 1876 and
settled in Winnemucca, where they
formed law partnership. While in
Winnemueea they also engaged in the
newspaper and printing business.
In 1881 they moved TO Reno and es-
tablished a law Office, praetieing in the
local courts for several years. About ID
years ago Judge Waldo was appointed
United States land commissioner and
held the position until 1912, when fail
ing health forced him to give up the
work.
He was prominent in the Masonic
fraternity and well known throughout
the state. He was rs years old.
He is survived by a niece, Mrs Edna
Green, in Toledo, Ohio, his former

Winnemucca is a garden spot compared
with the country that was built through
by the Oregon Short Line thirty years
ago. Development in these days is
much more rapid than it was then. We
now have eighty miles of inter-urban
electrified, running out of Boise, with
in three years we will have two hun
dred and fifty miles of these electric
lines, tapping the most productive dis
tricts. If the Western Pacific would
build into Boise connecting with these
electric lines, they would develop so
much business that this branch alone
would pay the interest on the bonds OF
the main line from Salt Lake to San
Francisco, and / say this without reser-
walton.
cit is the best railroad proposition
in the country today, for the reason
that it would serve the greatest and
most productive undeveloped country
in America now, without transporta-
tion.
"San Francisco needs this line much
more than we do. With the Panama
canal completed, San Francisco should
and doubtless will be the greatest dis
tributing point ON the Pacific coast,
and she needs this great empire for her
customers. believe that when the ca
nal is finally ready for permanent traf-
fic, transportation from the interior
will be revolutionized. Our wool In
tended for Boston viii go to the coast,
and by water through the canal to the
Atlantic seaboard. Great packing
houses viii be established ON the Pa
cife coast and our hogs, cattle and
mutton will 20 there. Heavy merchan-
disc from the East will come from the
Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and
thence by rail to Boise, etc, etc.
"This road is needed and it is going
to be built, or all history win be re-
versed. There never was a necessity
that was not fully realized, and this
road is a great necessity.
"In conclusion, you have my best
wishes, and all the support I can give
you, and this voices the sentiment or
all the people in Southern Idaho.
