STONE LEAVES THE
STATE POLICE FORCE

Charles P. Stone, for number
of years in charge of the Bertillon
and finger print system at the State
prison, has been relieved from duty
by Warden Dickerson, the reason
given that it was necessary to re-
duce expenditures and Stone being
the highest salaried man in the en-
ploy of the State police his services
would have to be dispensed with.
Charles Stone is regarded as one
of the most efficient men ever en-
ployed on the State police. His
knowledge of criminals and their
antecedents has made him known
to every officer in the State and al
most every police department in the
West. Politically Stone has always
been a Democrat, though he served
for four years under the Oddie ad-
ministration.

SUGAR FACTORY SOLD TO DETROIT
BONDHOLDERS FOR S245,Sl6.l3

have been permitted to drag along
throughout the year, thus in a great
measure placing the farmer in po-
sition of uncertainty as to the prep
aration of his land for the 1916
crop, those best informed are of the
opinion that there still remains
plenty of time for yne contracting
of sufficient acreage to assure a
profitable run of the factory next
season, provided assurances are
forthcoming that the financial sta
bility of the new organization is be-
yond conjecture and the placing in
the field of a corps of active agents
to interview the farmers and con-
vince them that they will be amply
financed to carry the crop through
to harvest.
Ii is a recognized part of the bus
mess in the East, where the manu-
faeture of beet sugar has reached
its most practical stage in this
country. that 1t is essential to the
success of the campaign that the
farmers must be advanced sufficient
funds at the various stages in the
cultivation of the beets, from the
preparation of the land and seeding
to the thinning and harvesting. TO
enable them to carry the crop
through season.
Prior TO the sale of the property
the stockholders of the Nevada Sug-
ar company held a meeting at the
Office OF the company at the factory
at which a resolution was passed
ordering the Board of directors to
sell all the assets of the company,
real, personal and mixed that might
not be covered by the bonds, 10 Wal
ter E. Oxtoby for the sum of $1,000,
and that the money SO obtained
should be pro rated among the var
ious creditors of the insolvent COM
pany. The principal asset thus dis
posed of was the right of possession
period permitted for redemption un-
der the statutes of Nevada. II was
plain to the stockholders that there
was no possibility of the company
being able to meet its obligations
and they had no desire TO hinder the
new owners in obtaining immediate
possession of all the property and
fixtures to the end that the factory
might be put in condition for run
during the forthcoming season. The
transfer of the right of redemption
to Mr.. Oxtoby subject to the mort
gage and sale disposed of the last
remaining bar to the passing of i'm
mediate possession and title to the
property.
Immediately following the sale
Sheriff Coniff and the several attor-
neys departed for Reno and on Sat
urday Mr.. oxtoby and Sheriff Con-
in we're in Carson, where the con-
firmation of the sale was made by
Federal Judge Harrington. This
prompt action was taken by the pub
lie as an indication that from now
on things may be expected to move
rapidly and that but few days will
elapse before the personnel and
plans of the new organization Will
be made public.

Preditcs High Prices

w. +. Rich, wool expert from
Utah recently visited Winnemucca
and stated that he expected the
price of wool to advance in the near
future The scarcity of foreign wool
will affect the market conditions
materially he said. The mills of
Europe are not demanding the reg
ular supply of wool and are not
working at all, except in a few cases.
When these factories begin to de-
mand bigger quantities the price
should advance.
