SILVER CLANS ARE
IN NATION CAPITAL

WASHINGTON, December 3.-Offi-
cials of the treasury today held the
first of a series of conferences with
western silver producers, looking to
the ultimate fixing of a standard price
for silver, effective for one year, and
TO government acquisition of options
on practically the entire output of
the United States.
Pressing needs of this country and
the allies for silver coin under the
abnormal war conditions is respon-
sible for the plan, which contemplates
government control of the market for
American silver at fixed price, prob
ably above the market rate of 81 cents
an ounce.
jewelers., manufacturers OF dental
and optical supplies, and other silver
users, would continue to receive a
supply under the tentative government
plan, probably at the standard price.
Details of the arrangement are yet 10
be worked out. officials emphasize
the statement that for the present the
government is interested mainly in
obtaining sufficient silver at far
price for its own and allied coinage
needs, and thereby to stabilize foreign
exchange conditions.
Raymond T. Baker, director of the
mint; Charles S. Samlin, member OF
the Federal reserve board, and ALBEIT
Strauss, foreign exchange expert and
representative of the treasury on the
war trade board, represented the gov
ernment in today's conference. In
addition to the silver producers, most
OF whom were from Nevada, there
were present Senators Pittman, Smoot,
Ashurst. Newlands and Shafroth, and
Governor Emmett d. Boyle of Nevada.
Producers from other Western states
will come here within week.

Medical advisory boards are about
OF be organized throughout the State
by Captain Mckenzie of Reno. These
members each, will decide all cases in
which local boards are in doubt as to
mans physical illness for military
service, and will ais pass upon cases
in which a registra mt is not satisfied
with the findings c,f the local board.
In the latter cases the registrants
desiring the re-exa mination must pay
the costs themselv es.
DR.. G. F. Pope of Winnemucca has
received a telegram from Acting Gov
ernor Sullivan asking him to namo
two other local physicians to serve on
the medical advisory board for this
county under the new regulations
governing the selective draft. DR..
Pope has narned Drs. W. F. Berry and
G. U. Hall. The appointments are to
be made by President Wilson upon
recommendation of the acting Gov
ernor of Nevada. 1t is understood
that this board will have jurisdiction
also over Lander county.

Mr.. and Mrs. ]. L. Workman are
guests at the Commercial hotel. Mr..
Workman has been doing considerable
prospecting for oil in the northern
part of the county, and in the North
Fork range on Beaver creek he has
what seems to be a splendid prospect.
He has large shale deposit with high
oil content, and near by is sandstone
formation which contains oil. On a
lower level the soil is heavily impreg-
mated with oil and Mr. Workman be-
lieves that flowing wells can be struck
at comparatively slight depths.-[ Elko

"GIVE NEVADA PIG A CHANCE"
WAS APPARENTLY GOOD DOPE

For several months the Nevada
Packing Company of Reno has been
asking the people of this State to
Give the Nevada Pig a Chance" and
its campaign has had some effect.
However, few realize the Importance
of increasing the hog-raising industry,
and the profit that goes with 1t.
An Owens Valley man living near
Bishop, California, purchased ranch
last year and began raising hogs. He
marketed a carload of his product the
other day ,eighty-nine hogs of an av-
erage weight of 220 pounds, and re-
ceived $4,000 in cash. He had only
two carloads to sell this fall, but from
the proceeds will manage to live an
other year and buy an automobile

FIND A WOMAN FOR THE JOB
AND THEN TRAIN HER FOR It

the congested centers there is so mucn
need for it, but naturally in our State
there will be comparatively little.
Therefore the national league, with
the sanction of the defense league. has
instructed me to place representa-
tive in each town, whose business it
will be to watch the trend of events
in her locality and report the ne I'd
of any specific training that may arise
in that community. 1t will be her duty
then, backed by the information from
headquarters, to get such classes or
ganized and advertised. The work
should be free, or as nearly free as
possible, to both pupil and teacher;
but strict accountability for good
work is demanded.
Until such need shall arise she il
to do all she can to distribute such
information as shall come to her from
the State chairman of the Council for
Defense and the national league, and
shall do all in her power to induce
women to work for the Red Cross as
a national duty. She is a local mes
senger and agent, and should be sub
ject to call for any patriotic service
Then, when the needs of our State
make the help of the national league
imperative, the nucleus is established
around which the work may grow.
1.-The league is a splendid national
asset, and the opportunities it affords
should be grasped by every unframed
women in the country. II there are
any women here who feel the need ol
training in any line, it will be my duty
to get teachers for them. But no class
should be started without definite as
surance of the sincerity of the womer
who enter it. 1t is a business propo-
sition entirely, and l shall be glad tC
talk seriously with any woman OF
group of women who are determined
to train themselves in any definite
line for future service"
