James Webb, living near Pembina,
is back in town from the European
war where he has served at the front
in the English army. It was in 1914
that he enlisted at Winnipeg and left
for the front. Webb was wounded five
times in different parts of the body,
but has now wholly recovered from
the wounds. He took part in the ter
rifle fighting around Ypres, Belgium,
where the Canadians were nearly wip-
ed out, and he tells horrible tales of
the battles in the vicinity of chat city.

Nevada SInCreaSed Valuations

Secretary Adamson has just COM
pleted a compilation of figures on
public utilities valuations, but the
compilation has not been formally
passed upon by the commission, says
the Gazette. 1t shows an increase
of SO, 900. 900 in valuations for 1916
over 1915. The increase was brought
about by the general increase of 14.3
per cent. the addition to the rolls of
new properties which hitherto have
escaped assessment and the correc-
tion of erroneous under-assessments
of 1915 as a result of securing more
detailed information by the tax COM
mission than had been available in
past years. Private car line COM
panies which never before have been
assessed in this State will appear on
the 1916 roll to the value of several
hundred thousand dollars.

Coyotes Killing Cattle

Tonopah Times: George Potts. an
Indian, reported having seen two
steers killed by band of coyotes
in Ralston valley last Monday. One
of the steers was 3-year-old and the
other a yearling. The Indian said
that the band of coyotes attacked
the first steer and before he could
reach it. on horseback they had torn
it to pieces. They then boldly at
tackled and killed the second steer.
He reported the coyotes to be fol.
lowing bands of cattle and killing
the stragglers, which are weakened
by the lack of food due to the recent
storms.
Potts declares that the coyotes
have been driven to attack cattle or
account of scarcity of food.
Ralston valley, which, the men
said, is infested with coyotes, runs
from Tonopah to Manhattan, and il
was within Is miles of Tonopah that
George Potts saw the coyotes kill the
two steers.

The Pittman bill to grant to the
State of Nevada seven million acres
of non-mineral lands for use and
benefit of the public schools and

the Senate.
An amendment adopted would

acres was defeated. The minimum

The authorities of Tonopah have
passed an ordinance compelling the
muzzling of dogs and those found on
the streets without nose harness on
will be killed.
The Wells Herald says reports re-
ceived from various parts of Elko
County indicate that the present Sc
we're Winter is rapidly killing off the
rabbits. 1t is beginning to look as
though the pests will be- thing of
the past by Spring.
1t is stated that there are to be
two new banks started in Nevada in
the near future. One of them is to
be at Yerington and will be opened
by Pat Conway of Sweetwafer and
H. S. Pohe of Yerington. The other
will be the Bank of Italy, which will
be located in the quarters now oc-
cupied by the Nixon National Bank
of Reno, as soon as they move into
their new quarters.
All Nevada exhibits which were re-
Gently on exhibition in the Nevada
booths at the San Francisco and San
Diego expositions have been shipped
to Reno and are now stored at the
University. Over 600 packages were
shipped to Reno from both exposi-
tions. The mineral exhibit will be
placed at the Mackay School of Mines
and is reputed to be the finest col
lection of minerals in the world.

Notice To The Public

On account of being compelled to use
an unusual large amount of hay this
Winter in sustaining several bands of
sheep at our Fish Greek ranch, we find
ourselves short of feed and will be COM
PEELED to haul in an additional supply.
For this reason we are compelled to
notify the travelling public that while it
will be welcome to meals and lodging
at the ranch, all travellers must bring
along their own hay, for from this date
on we must refuse to furnish hay to
any one.

the PLANETS IN FEBRUARY

1t is not often that four planets
appear to good advantage in the sky.
That is now the case. Jupiter. Venus,
Saturn and Mars may be seen at the
same time, after sunset, says Cur
rent Events.
Jupiter and Venus are shining In
the west and are brilliant although
not at their best. Venus appears
soon after sunset-about 5:15 p. m.
and sets about 7:30. Towards the
east Saturn and Mars may be seen,
but fainter.
Of the two planets in the western
sky Venus is the one nearer the hori-
zon. Above it is Jupiter. Venus,
although much the smaller, is more
brilliant and seems larger because il
is nearer both to the earth and to
the sun. If Jupiter were as near as
Venus he would rival the moon, for
his surface is more than hundred
times greater than that of Venus.
The latter will be evening star until
late in June. She does not often
favor us with so long stay.
Saturn. the ringed planet, is near
ly overhead, in the constellation
Gemini.
Mars, now low in the eastern sky,
can best be found by his reddish
color. His north pole is now turned
toward US, and with a large telescope
we can see the ice-cap.
OF the planets mentioned, both
Mars and Venus are smaller than the
earth. Jupiter and Saturn are the
largest of all the planets, the for
mer 1900 times and the latter 697
greater in volume than the globe on
which we live.

IMPROVED HAY PRESS


o. M. Bryan, a practical farmer of
Chanute, Kansas, has patented an
automatic hay press and tractor. 1t
is practically the only important ad-
vancement in this line of farm ma
chinery to appear in many years.
While other lines of farm implements
have advanced rapidly to high state
of perfection the hay press is still of
practically the same design.
The Bryan press will move by vir-
tue of its own power unit. under the
control of one man and gather the
hay or alfalfa from the cured wind
row or swath as the machine travels
over the field, and elevate and press
it rapidly into evenly sized round
bales with hole to permit ventila-
ton. No horses or extra labor of
any kind will be required.
The hay or alfalfa lies in the wind
row or swath for. a few hours or un-
til the sun has cured it sufficiently to
allow of its being baled. The press
then moves over the field and the
job is finished. A small amount of
salt can be sprayed intermittently
into the bale as it is formed.
