OBITUARY

Communicated
Leaves have their time to wither,
And flowers to fade;
But thou hast all seasons
For thine own, o Deathl
Once more death has entered our
widst and snatched from us one in the
flower of manhood whose sudden de-
parture has cast a gloom over the en-
tire countryside.
Frank D., son of David s. and Jen-
ME Z. Gebhart, was born in Sacra-
mento, Cal, September 20, 1894, and
departed this life at the home of his
parents near McDermitt, Nevada, on
the evening of March 2, 1916, aged 21
years, months and days.
Frank was of a pleasant disposition
and was ever ready to stand at his
post and share the duties and rsepon-
sibilities of his home, especially in his
father s shop, where he was an efficient
co-worker. To know him was to feel
that you had friend upon whom you
could rely, one in whom you could
place your trust.
During his brief illness he suffered
intensely, but was not unmindful of
those about him, showing much forti-
tude and patience, not wishing to dis
turb his loved ones by complaint or
murmuring.
Frank viii be greatly missed, not
onlyl in the home but in the wide cir
Gle of friends in which he moved. But
mourn not as those without hope, for
while he wished to live, he was not
afraid to die. He leaves to mourn his
early departure his father, mother, four
brothers, four sistes and an aged gand-
mother, besides many other relatives
and friends.
The circle now is broken.
A voice we loved is stilled,
A chair is vacant in the home
Which never can be filed.
Our hearts are bowed with sorrow
At this parting by the way.
Yet hope of meeting on the morrow
Leads to Gods eternal day.
Funeral services were conducted in
the McDermitt hall Sunday, March 5,
at D. M, followed by interment in
the MeDermitt cemetery. R.D.T.

Tue NeW 1OTh Odlly lfduc hecOfu
of March 9 contains a comprehensive
review of wool eondidtions in the
United States and has the following to
say regarding Nevada and Humboldt
county:
Two Years of Nevada Wool
(U. s. Government Figures)
1914 1915
Pounds of wool. j. 5,502, 900 5,S90,O00
Shrinkage =. . -. 67eo 6Sod
Average fleece (pounds) IA TT
Reports from correspondents in the
larger wool growing counties of Neva-
da would indicate a total clip for the
state this year in excess of 5000. 900
pounds. A statement from the Reno
Commercial club estimates the state
clip at 100000 pounds, giving the
clip last year as S,156,000 pounds.
These figures are far in excess of the
government figures, which were
5,S90,000 pounds, as noted in the above
table.
Not less at variance are the govern
ment's own figures, the Department Of
Agriculture estimating that on Janu-
ary l, 1916, there were 1,532,000 sheep
in Nevada, and the estimate for Jan
uary l, 1915, was precisely the same
Comparing this fgur with the number
of feeces shorn in 1915, would indicate
that only half of Nevada's sheep are
fit for shearing. This is an unusually
small proportion, especially for a state
like Nevada, which is not a feeder
state, most of the sheep being on the
range and presumably wool producers.
Wool men generally have accepted
the government s figures and predict
a clip of the same size this year. Ger
tainly, none of the reports indicates
that Nevada has lost any sheep in the
last year.
There has been considerable con-
tracing in Nevada. The largest single
clip sold was that of John Taylor,
which is said to have changed hands
at % cents a pound Other transac-
tions are reported at 20 to 81 cents
The following summary by counties
are by men prominently identified with
the sheep industry in their communi-
ties:

WHAT THE ADAMsON BILL DOES.

IN his recent Charleston speech Cornwel said:
j t'Not only have the wage workers in this coun-
try the right to ask for increase of wages, but
they have the right to combine and ask for it collec-
lively"
That is just the reason Wilson will lose West Vir-
ginia by not less than %, 900 votes. For Woodrow
Wilson and his Democratic Congress by passing the
Adamson bill, under the guise of an eight hour
Law" took away the right of labor unions to ask
6or anything Collectively Moreover, Wilson
says that the program he outlined in this respect
will be added to the Adamson law, and that pro-
gram includes the following The investing in the
President of the United States the absolute power
to put the trainmen and other railroad operatives
In Uniform and to operate the trains as military
adjunct to the army, and to place the administra-
live officers of the roads over the men as military

Commerce Commission the right to determine
what are just and reasonable wages and what shall
be the hours of labor for all employees of the rail-
