MAN WITH A HARD

Augusta, Dec. 20-Information

Jack Blank" is a fraud. This is
thRunfortunate young man who
wandered into Augusta last Feb
nlary and told a dramatic story
Of having walked several miles in
To the city from the Savannah riv-

had walked from a state of coma,
not knowing where he was Or
how he he got there, or who he
was.
After receiving treatment at
tie University hospital, during
which period he stuck to his orig

Know his own name or whence he
came, he enlisted the sympathy
d- many Augustans who exerted
every effort to aid the man in

MISPLAY IN SENATE
DELAYS DRY BILL

Washington, d. G., Dec, 20. A
parliamentary nlisplay by one Of
its friends late today upset plans
for an immediate vote on Senator
Sheppard's District Of Columbia
prohibition bill, and advocates of
the measure were obliged to agree
that it go over until after the
Christmas holidays, for the final
action.
The senate agreed to a final
vote on the measure on Ian. 9,
alter its opponents had been sus-
tanned by the chair in contending
that 1t lost its place on the senate
calendar by the action Of Senator
Ashurst IN getting unanimous
consent to consider a land bill.
Friends Of the prohibition bill
have admitted a fear that post
ponemcnt Of the vote until after
Christmas recess would imperil
It's chance of passage.

MANY NEGROES RETURN
To Albany, Angry With Labor
Agents

Albany, Dec. 20. The tide of
negro emigration has turned and
it is now estimated that as many
are coming back to Georgia from
the north as are leaving. They are
still going to the north from the
southeastern section Of the state,
however.
The negroes who are returning
have some heart rending tales to
tell Of the cold and hardships en-
eountercd iii the north. They are
so glad to get back home and SO
incensed against the labor agents
who induced them to leave that
it would not be well for one Of the
latter to approach them again.
They say that most Of the
are able to hold a JOB CO
one day in the north.
The bosses give thea :
amount Of work to do, @7 n
/ fall short Of the requirements
they are fired without ceremony
Many Of them are dying from ex-
posture and cold because Of the
fact that they are not acclimated
and clothing and fuel is SO high
Living cost is much higher there
in every way, and the negroes
have not found the promised
land" they sought.

NEXT ATTRACTION
AT NIXON OPERA HOUSE

Leeta Lynn Corder, who is the So
prano soloist of the Schubert Symphony
club of Chicago, and great favorite
in all of the principal American and
Canadian cities, has been spontaneous
" called "The American Tettrazini''
by many capable critics. She sings all
the greatest soprano solos without ap-
parent effort and at all times has per-
feet command of every tone from e
below middle to the third G above
middle G. She studied six years under
Madame Smythe of London, who was a
pupil of Patti Is uncle in the same class
with Patti s sister, besides receiving
further vocal training from such world
famous teachers of DeVries, Arcangeli,
and others. She is one of the really
great voealists of the day and our mu-
sic lovers should not fail to hear her
at the Nixon opera house on January
21st. The great popularity of the Schu-
bert soloists is not altogether on ac-
count of their grand voices, but in part
because they study to please the peo-
pie. All of their encores are either
amusing, or artistic arrangements of
those sweet old melodies so dear to all
American hearts.

the most they have had there for sew.
eral years.

soon as weather conditions will permit.
Deep Creek is situated on the state
line and is the center of rich mineral

let for an immense ore tonnage.

will be resumed about the first of Feb
ruary on the auto speedway from Salt
Lake west to Wendover, and that When
completed this will make the finest
stretch of auto track in the country,

STOCK LOSSES
ON THE RANGES

Within the national forests of Dis
trict 4, embracing Utah, Nevada, Sou
thern Idaho and Southwestern Wyo-
ming, a large majority of all the live
stock raised in this territory is grazed
during the summer season.
During the season of 1915, on the
ranges of these forests, 40,400 sheep,
460 cattle and IA horses were killed by
pr edatory animals, among which the
coyote is the chief offender. Late last
season the u. s. Biological Survey, in
cooperation with the forest service, In
augurated vigorous campaign of ex-
termination against the coyote and his
co-workers, within and adjacent to the
forests. The regular force of forest
rangers, who are able to devote little
time to predatory animal extermina-
ton, in connection with their other du-
ties, report total of 1,168 killed dur
ing 1915. This number, while not
large, means a considerable saving to
the stockmen grazing their herds on
the forest ranges.
Poisonous plants killed 5000 sheep,
$3.50 cattle and IL horses on the for
ests during the past year. Disease has
toll of 5,278 sheep, 655 cattle and 80
horses.
Summarized, the known losses of live
stock on the forests during 1915, from
the three listed causes, amounted to
700 sheep, 1870 cattle and 12c
horses, having total value of $435,000
on an approximate estimate. One-half
of the total number of sheep lost from
the various causes was reported from
the forests in the state of Utah.
Every possible effort is being made
to decrease these annual losses, which,
although very small in proportion to
the total numbers, grazed, still consti
tutes considerable item. With the
several states, the forest service, bio
logical survey, other federal bureaus,
and various stockmen's organizations,
uniting this year to take vigorous steps
against the predatory animal, the
losses next season from this cause are
sure to be much smaller.

TO GUIDE TROOPS AT NIGHT
Prismatlc Compass 10 Declared to Be
Of Great Value TO Military
Commanders.

Leading troops across country by
compass bearing with as much GER
tainty by night as by day is made
possible through the use OF a pris-
matte compass just brought out In
England. The name given this COM
pass is due to the prism lifted to one
side OF the frame. although this is not
the most important feature OF the In
strument- The dial. which is made of
mother-ofpearl. has a center coated
with luminous paint, and In addition to
this there are luminous patches on the
lid by which the instrument is readily
sighted at night. When night march
is to be undertaken the instrument Is
opened and exposed to the daylight for
half an hour. This Is sufficient to
make the dial center and sighting
patches luminous for from six to nine
hours. In the latest form of the in
strument this exposure to daylight is
unnecessary. owing to the use OF

TRAINS DELAYED
BY HEAVY STORM

Nevada received its share of snow
that has been general all over the
United States, with perhaps the ex-
ception of the Gulf states. For three
davs the snow fell intermittently and
as easily as it rains in the Willamette
Valley. Oregon, with the result that
the entire state is covered wlth a man
tie from one to two feet in thickness.
The railroads have been operating
under difficultise, owing to the fact
that a high wind drifted the snow. On
the Western Pacific Nos. l and 2 have
been running, although late. No. 2,
due here from the coast at 3:45 this
morning, did not arrive until 'elock
this afternoon. Unless snother storm
interferes, all trains will be running
On time tomorrow.
Westbound trains on the Southern
Pacific have been running practically
on time, but the last through eastbound
train 10 go through on this road was
yesterday mornings NO.10. However,
a stub No. was made up at Sparks
yesterday morning and again today,
which went through ON time. 1t is
stated that the trouble was caused by
the heavy drifts at Blue canyon,
short distance this side of Colfax, Cal
ifornia, but the tracks were clear
early this afternoon and il is expected
that delayed trains will begin to pass
through Winnemucca during the night.
