fected by prominent San Francisco,

in most interesting manner. w.
H. Moffat and H. E. Humphrey of
the Union Land and Cattle Company
of Reno have bought the Big Smoke
Greek ranch, sixty miles north of
Reno, for the reported figure of ST.
SOC, 900.
II is said $4,000 sheep on the ranch
went in the bargain at 81 on foot,
and unborn lambs at $5. In arriving
at the general price another element
was considered. namely. the price of
80 cents a pound for unsheared wool.

consumer at 81 and upward a pound.
Another large transaction is the

Cattle Scourse Cost 5000. 900

Washington, Dec. 9.-Nine million
dollars is the sum last year. epidemic

federal and State treasures, accord
ing to the annual report to-day Of
the bureau of animal husbandry.
That, however. does not represent
the full cost, it is declared. as owners
were paid for their animals on a
meat value basis, which did not re-
present the value of thousands of
animals slaughtered.

IS UNIVERSAL TRAINING COMING

All the Army officers seem to think
the militia system has finally broken
down and proved itself a failure.
Major-General Hugh l.. Scott. in his
annual report as Chief of the Gener-
al Staff. brings out this idea at length
and with emphasis. Never will this
country be prepared for the new
military dangers, he says, until it
has universal military training. And
that can only come by compulsion.
His words show a.good deal of
suppressed indignation over our
present state of unpreparedness.
Everybody seems in favor of proper
protection. but everybody wishes to
"let somebo ody else do it." Gen.
Scott thinks Americans mustlearr to
look upon military service as tley
look upon paying taxes, as someth ng
unavoidable and necessary for he
support of our institutions. This is
the case in Germany, France, Japan.
and other countries that have large
interests to protect.
The report says: "The only demo-
cratic method is for every man in
his youth to become trained, in or
der that he may render efficient SER
vice if called upon"

B0NOEO INDEBTEDNESS
OF NEVADA COUNTIES
Eureka and Storey Only Counties
In State That Are Free of
Debt

Clark County's bonded indebted
ness is now nearly half a million dol
lars, the figures being $488. 900, in
cluding the last two bond issues of
$53. 900 for high school and $50, 900
for roads.
About half this amount is made up
of the Indebtedness incurred by Clark
County at the same time of the di-
vision of Lincoln County. for the
construction of the Lincoln County
court house. This amount totals
$261 900. The rest of the total of
$4SS. 900 is made up of $4,000 for
thecourt house and $62, 900 for schools
scattered over the county.
The Clark County Indebtedness is
not exceeded in anv county in the
State, but Washoe County, the larg-
est county in point of property valua-
ton and population. three times as
much as Clark has, and which con-
tains the city of Reno, with $1,000
population. Washoe County has an
indebtedness of $871. .756.35. about
four-ninths greater than that of
Clark County.
Two counties in the State. Eureka
and Storey, have no Indebtedness
whatever. Only one other county
besides Washoe and Clark has an in
debtedness exceeding $500, 900. and
that is Elko, with debts of $2l7, 800.
Four other counties have an Indebted
ness exceeding 100000.

ed that all tho former glories of this
national event will be surpassed next

Not only are the factories and manu-
facturers interested in the climb, but
tho private owners arc showing unusual

the world celebrated motor car drivers
are anxious to negotiate the difficult
representative entry Is not only of
the leading makes of cars, but also Of
justly famous racing pilots.
One of the features of the climb will
be the number of club runs which are
being organised in connection with the
nent eastern motor clubs will send
big delegations. and in order to ac-
commodate these visitors the Wilkes
Barre Automobile Club. which Is con-
Quoting the contest, will arrange q
series OF parking spaces along the en-
tire route.
Several important changes have been
made in the program in order to con-
form with the American Automobile

board, Is so arranged as to afford op-
portunity for both stock" and non

RAT DOGS NOW WANTED
FOR RODENT TRENCH WAR.
Gallieni's Announcement That He
Would Not Surrender Capital
When Government Left.
Copyright. 1s1s.)

PARIS, September 8-A new "af-
hche" has appeared on some of the
blank walls in the more obscure streets
of Paris. 1t is unobtrusive. 1t seems
to shrink from the public eye, with its
few lines of black type on white paper
But 1t is most suggestive. 1t means
that France is completing her prepa-
rations for the third winter of war
Bring your rat dogs to the Central
Halles," it reads. They are needed to
protect our soldiers from the plague
of rats in the trenches"
If Macaulay's New Zealander ever
leaves London bridge to study the con-
dttions that prevailed in France during
the great war he can do no better than
posters that have appeared on the walls
Of Paris during the two past years.
From them he could reconstitute the
social state, as the traditional scientist
is said to have built UP the traditional
animal from the traditional bone.
He would discover from these posters
a people generous. courageous and de-
termined. They offer q cross-section
Of French activities in which the prog
ress of the war can be read. Each has
something of significance.
The best known of all these posters
is of course, that ordering the mobili-
zation of the French army, which bios
somed upon every blank wall in the
first days of August, 1914: At first sight
it is commonplace bit Of printing. But
when one discovers on some of them a
line left blank on which the place and
date Of mobilization was written in, one
realizes that they had been prepared in
advance, to be used as required.
It Is a proof Of the fear Of war In
which France has lived for the past
twenty years. The sword trembled over
her head.
OF greater value to the collector is
the Gallieni poster, in which he declar-
ed his intention of defending Paris after
the government had fed to Bordeaux.
1t is the clue to a bit Of history as yet
unwritten.
The administration thought it wiser
not to defend Paris. If the invaders
succeeded in reaching the city its gates
were to have been opened.
1t was the only hope, in the minds of
the bureaucrats, to save 1t from ravage.
Three socialist deputies Of Paris
thought otherwise.

One Memorable Poster.

The next stage Of the war is shown
by the famous Turn in Your Cold
poster. France had resisted the first
rush. had dug her first trenches, had
settled to wearing down the enemy.
1t was to be fight Of patience, and
money was needed.
The poster showed a German soldier
beaten to his knees by the French
OF vantage in the center of a piece of
French gold.
Since then other appeals have fol-
lowed. The latest gives the reasons
why France must have every gold
piece.
Because" read the inspired words
| of the appeal. "the nation must accu-
cumulate gold to prove its wealth and
to better its credit. Because the ma
tion must be rich II it is to be strong
nation Of saving people who believe to
the last man that to be strong one must
be well-to-do. The wounded men be-
gan to hobble about tho streets, and
France realized that they must be
cared for.
Side by side with the demands of the
minister of the interior that the Wild
ows and orphans of the war make
their demands for pensions now. in

From another two sad and emaciated

Help the sick. and wounded men
who have been fnvalided out Of the
service without pension!" is the cry.
They have done their best"
An increasing efficiency in the work
of war 10 silently proven by these
posters. One Of the latest calls atten-
ton to the danger to be feared from
the house fly, and demands of the
housewife as a patriotic duty that the
| "mouche'' be suppressed. Another tells
of the danger of alcoholism in that
