Got Off Easy

Jay E. Thomas was arrested on COM
plant of VIM. Taylor of Goodsprings,
charged with grand larceny by reason
of the theft of $50 from the cash reg
lister of the saloon of the complaining
witness.
Upon preliminary examination be-
fore Judge Harkins Wednesday. the
testimony showed that the amount of
money stolen was only $49.90. dime
having been left in the sack containing
the $50 change turned over by Taylor
to Thomas, his bartender. Therefore
the charge of grand larceny (the theft
of $50 or more in vafue) would not
stick and new complaint was issued
charging petit larceny. To this
Thomas entered plea of guilty. 1t
appearing that the amount stolen had
been repaid to Taylor and that there
were some extenuating circumstances
connected with the crime, Thomas was
given a suspended sentence.

NEVADA MAY Be
A SUGAR STATE
Company Willing TO Build
Factories in Districts
Signing for BeetS

Nevada is destined to become within
the next few years one of the leading
sugar producing states of the Union.
This prediction was made last night
by F. s. Bramwell. manager of the
Nevada Utah Sugar Company Of
Fallon.
"Fallon has 400 acres of sugar
beets, most of which are in first-class
standing" said BramwelI, with the
growers assured from $50 to S140 an
acre in net return and signed on 81 a
ton contracts for four year terms.
Vast areas in other parts of Nevada
are equally as suited for the production
of sugar beets, and only time is re.
quired to convert the vast arid stretches
into fertile. prosperous farming COM
munities."
The Nevada Utah Sugar Beet COM
pany Is so convinced of the possibilities
of success with the beet farms in
Nevada, Bramwell pointed out last
night, that they will build factories
and sign five year contracts in any
prospective beet areas of 5000 acres.
The company, he pointed out further,
is capitalized at $50, 900, 900 and may
be relied upon to fill its promises.
There are indications of only one
problem in the Fallon DISCREET at the
present time, he said, and that is labor.
Indians, Japanese, Fillipinos, Mexicans
and Hindus being employed with fair
degree of success. Half the thinning
process is completed. The harvest will
begin about September 20 and continue
until Christmas. The refinery will
handle approximately 5000 tons a day.
Improvements involving an expense
of 800, 600 will be made on the factory
next year preparatory to handling an
increased tonnage. Nevada State

WATER PROBLEMS
NEAR SOLUTION
State Engineer SCrusham At.
tempting to Harmonic
Conflicting Interests

Through the efforts of State Engin-
eer j. G. Scrugham to harmonic the
conflicting water interests in the
Moapa Valley and thus obviate the
necessity for long and expensive liti-
cation, hearing was held at Overton
Wednesday.
The upper valley interests were
represented by committee composed
of Messrs. T. H. Fitzgerald, Geo. G.
Baldwin, F. w. Bressette, Joe F.
Perkins and Mr.. Ovard; the lower val
ley by Levi Syphus. S. HI. Wells,
MAIDS Jorgenson, Robt. o. Gibson and
Willard l.. Jones' The Moapa Indian
Reservation was represented by DR..
E. G. Murtaugh, while Gus Holmes
of Salt Lake, also took part in the
deliberations.
Judge Geo. S. Brown of Reno, ap-
peared as attorney for the Muddy
Valley Irrigation Company and Nc
Nance & McNamee for the Upper
Valley. Ira MacFarland of Indian
Springs also took part in the pro-
ceedings.
After a conference lasting most of
the day, during which the various
matters in dispute were gone over in
detail, considerable progress was made
toward a compromise of the vexatious
questions and a tentative agreement
was made along general lines. It was
agreed that the details of the COM
promise should be worked out by
Judge Brown and Frank r. McNamee
acting as committee in conjunction
with State Engineer Scrugham, and
that such plan of compromise as they
might agree upon should be submitted
to the various committees, having the
matter in hand, for final approval.
While the problems involved have
not yet reached settlement whereby
the pending cases in court may be
dismissed. it is felt by all that through
the efforts of the State Engineer fair
settlement will be brought about great.

Lieutenant Governor Maurice j..
Sullivan has complimented Clark county
upon the promptness and completeness
with which it carried out the work of
registration, and the efficiency of the
registration and the registration
agents in various portions of the
county.
Another feature which was pleasing
to the state authorities in this con-
nection was the fact that all services

there was no bill to render the govern

with the registration In Clark county.
