NEVADA POTATOES ARE
BEST ON THE MARKET

Nevada potatoes are in demand on
coast markets and are bringing $40 a
ton more than any other spud. Cali
fornia Salinas are the standard Cali
fornia potatoes, and Oregons are the
next coast tuber in demand and these
two potatoes are only bringing $40 on
coast markets, while the Nevada po-
tato is bringing $50, says the Sparks
Tribune
+. S. Gunter shipped carload to
Sacramento to Wood, Curtis & Co.,
last Saturday and secured the latter
price.
The Nevada potato is always in de-
mand on the coast and the price that
is received is invariably higher than
the price paid Cor another potato.

zion ranks the same The soil in this
state is heavier than the soil in other

WILL PROBABLY INCLUDE
WOMEN IN NEXT JURY LIST

Editor of Silver State:
Win you kindly tell the women of
this county, if you can, why some steps
have not been taken by our county Of
ficials so as to allow women to sit ON
iuriesl | notice from the newspapers
that women are already sitting as ju-
rors at Tonopah and other parts of the
state. 1t seems to me that our county
officials are not up-to-date in this mat
ter. Is it because they are all men that
they don't recognize the fact that we
are entitled to all the rights and privi-
leges of free born American citizensl
Why have we been given the franchise
without all the privileges that go
therewith2 From what | am told by
the lawyers, there are occasionally
both civil and criminal cases arising
in our district court where the parties
are women, and surely if that be the
case, we should be allowed to exercise
the precious privilege of sitting on
juries, privilege handed down to as
for centuries by our Anglo-Saxon an
eestors.
This is not our only grievance, and
some of the gentlemen who are now
warming themselves in the chair of
public office, irrespective of their party
affiliations, viii realize after the COM
ing election that we are of at least
some Importance. FAIR PLAY.

ELKo COUNTY RANCHER
ACCUSED OF HORSE STEALING

Sam Baehman, a ell-known resident
of Ruby valley, was arrested yesterday
at Ottumwa, Iowa, on two indictments
brought by the grand jury last week,
says the Free Press. One charge is for
horse stealing and the other is for
driving horses out of the state without
inspection.
On November 25, 1915, Bachman
drove a bunch of horses from Ruby
valley to Wendover, Utah, which is
Just over the Utah line on the Western
Pacific, and shipped them to Ottumwa,
Iowa. where they now are. Sheriff Har-
ris was notified and he took the matter
up with the sheriff at that place, and
it has been just recently that the de-
sired information has been obtained
which led to Bachman s arrest. The
Iowa sheriff reports that out of the
bunch of 25 horses four of the animals
have been sold, the four bearing the
following brands:
Bar s, brand of ]. w. Smith, of Ru-
by Valley.
JK connected, brands of Gigs &
Agee, of Glover Valley.
Diamond, brand of Ike WoodhOuse,
of Ruby Valley.
V, brand unknown, but thought to
be that of Pete Wallman, of Ruby
Valley
Last Saturday when the grand jury
finished and reported to Judge Taber
a bench warrant was issued and the
sheriff at Ottumwa was wired to place
Bachman under arrest and place him
in jail until requisition papers could
be obtained. He replied yesterday that
he had the man and Governor Boyle
was requested to make out the neees-
sary papers, which will arrive here to-
morrow morning, when Sheriff Harris
and j. A. Steele, of Glove Valley, will
immediately start for the east, the lat
ter to replevin the animals and bring
them back, as it is believed that the
majority of them belong to the ranch
ers in the eastern part of the county.
The ease will come up for trial at
the April term of court.

Will REORCANIzE
FISH COMMISSION

Governor Boyle yesterday afternoon
accepted the verbal resignation of
Fish Commissioner George T. Mills and
also revoked the appointment of Com
missioner Bertram Nixon on account of
absence from the state.
Quite an exchange of words occurred
between Governor Boyle and Commits
sioner Mills in the morning at the Vir-
ginia and Truekee railway station, and
the governors authority was question
ed by Mr.. Mills, who stated to the gov
ernor that he, the governor, did not
have anything to do with the Fish COM
mission and that if any meeting of the
commission was called it would be oy
him in his office at Carson City and
not in Reno. This reply was prompted
by the governor, when, Immediately
after getting off the train, approached
Mr. Mills and said something about
calling a meeting of the Fish commits
| sion at Reno on next Saturday.
In an Appeal interview the governor
said that repeated efforts had been
made to get a meeting of the Fish com
mission that he might go over the busi-
ness and find out what was going to
be done this year, and also what had
been done and was doing, but all ef-
forts had failed, as Mr.. Mills and DR..
Starr, also a member of the commits
sion, were at outs and Bert Nixon was
in California and could not be heard
from, and that Mr.. Mills was going il
alone, not consulting anyone and doing
as he pleased. The governor further
said that in order that there may be no
misunderstanding in the matter he had
determined on Mr.. Mills removal
whether he resigned or not.
| When the governor was asked the
question whether he had anyone in
mind to appoint in Mr.. Mills place,
he said that possibly Sam Doten of the
state university would be named, as

the Western Pacific railroad, now in
the hands of receivers, virtually was
assured yesterday by a decision of the
United States circuit court of appeals
which overturned two orders issued oy
Judge William c. Van Fleet, of the
United State district court. Recently
Judge Van Fleet announced that if the
circuit court revoked his orders, the
way would be cleared for decree of
sale.
Attorneys for the railroad reorgan-
ization committee, who were allied with
counsel for the Equitable Trust com
pany of New York in the contest for \
sale of the road, said that Judge Van
Fleet undoubtedly would be asked i'm
mediately fer a decree of sale. Elab

Once there was Young Jay from n

Remembering that Abe got to be

County Commissioner Hoskins and
District Attorney Powell, when asked
by the Silver State why no women are
on the jury list this year, stated that
the names for the year are drawn at
the January meeting of the commits
sioners from the poll books, and that
at that time there had been no women
voters registered in the county. 1t is
not improbable that the names Of some
women will be placed on the jury list
next year, although the law exempts
all married women from jury duty
which vii! probably exclude nearly all
women over 81 years of age.
