NATIONAL CEMENT
MEN RESOLVE TO
LOAD TO CAPACITY

Local cement men were informed
today that the Portland Cement AS
sociation, comprising practically
every cement manufacturer in the
United States, with tonnage of raw
and finished product and fuel amount
ing to over forty million tons an
nually, had passed resolutions urg-
ing that carries be required by law
to give preference in supplying cars
to the shippers who load heaviest and
release cars the promptest.
The resolutions were adopted at
the Chicago convention and forward
ed to Judge r. S. Lovett, in charge
OF priority shipments and to the Ex-
Gcutive Committee of the National
Car Service Commission. The reso-
lutions express the belief that if all
the shippers do their best in utiliz-
ing equipment to the best advantage
there will be plenty of cars and To-
comotives to meet all needs

A Fatal Shooting ARRAY.


John Winters, a well known stock
man OF Whiterock, Nevada, was shot
and killed during the first week of
the present month-we haven't been
able to learn the exact date--by an
other stock man named Parish, whose
given name is unknown to many per-
sons here who still have intimate
knowledge Of the man. As much as
has been learned we give as follows;
For long Winters suspected his
slayer of doctoring brands to his
own benefit, a trick rendered quite
simple by reason of the similarity
of the Winter and Parish irons. On
the morning of the tragedy Winters
came across a calf which convinced
him, evidently, of the truth of his
suspicion, so he drove the animal in
the direction of his own corral En-
route he was confronted by Parish
who halted and declared his purpose
to kill him. In spite of Winters plea,
Parish is reported to have fired five
shots, three Of which took effect and
any one would have proven mortal
The first shot struck the murdered
man in the neck, the second tore into
his heart and the third penetrated
sed the mark.
Feeling against the murderer is
said to be intense, and it is believed
the providential presence in the vici-
nifty of the deputy sheriff of Blko
county alone saved Parish from mob
violence He was arrested and taken
to the county jail at Elko. Bruneau

CROPS AND PRICES
AT HAMMETT ARE
GOOD THIS FALL

A. E. Kerr was in the city Thurs
day from Hammett. He states that
several stock men from the northern
part of the county have been in
Hammett the past week making ar
rangemcnts to winter there. Last
season every house in the town was
occupied and all the hay in the val
ley bought by stockholders, who in
many cases were so well satisfied
that they contracted in the spring
for this seasons hay at the current
price in the fall. AS the water sup
ply has been unusually good this year
the hay crop was large and will bring
much prosperity to the Medbury val
ley.

With a Week Left to Secure
Subscriptions, $4,000, ,000-
900 Must be Advanced to
Reach Limit Set.
ELMORE COUNTY IN
WITH SMALL PART
Private Subscriptions to Friday
Noon We're Only About $4,000.
Government Must Have Money to
Garry on War and Will Raise it,

Elmore county's part of the liberty
loan is being subscribed but slowly
With only a week left to get in the
required $15O,OOO there has been
subscribed by private investors not
more than $14, 900, which means that
the last week of the drive must be
speeded up to not less than that
amount every day. The banks will
take a good slice of the bonds but
the people of the county must do
their share in furnishing the money
to finance the war.
No one is asked to give his money
to the government but he is assured
of the best security on earth and a
reasonable return on his investment.
If patriotism does not urge man to
invest self interest surely will. If
the government cannot borrow the
amount it needs from the people, it
VIII surely levy IdACo Iuul WIZ VI il6
in the money, and in that case the
cost of the war will be paid at once,
by those who were reluctant to loan,
instead of being distributed over a
period of thirty years.
Pro-German agents in the United
States, according to reports to the
treasury department, have directed
their energies toward defeating the
Liberty Loan. Their organized pro-
paganda has borne fruit from Mime
sofa to Texas, it is asserted, in locali-
ties. where weak efforts have been
made, not openly, but by indirect
methods, to discourage subscriptions.
The work of the pro-German
agents, officials assert, has been car
ried on for more than two weeks.
Some of the workers have had the
temerity, reports to the treasury in
dicate, to conduct their operations
here in the national capital.
Official recognition of the propa-
ganda against the loan was voiced
Wednesday by Colonel Herbert NJ
Lord, representing the war depart
ment, at the war risk insurance con
ference, at which details of the new
soldiers and sailors insurance law
are being explained to officers and
enlisted men from the various can
tonments.
"There has been an organized
effort" said Colonel Lord who was
chairman of Wednesdays meeting,
'to discourage and defeat the loan.
This effort, he added, has been
made by seeking to misrepresent
the patriotism of the new national
army" An official account of the
proceedings of the conference, which
was behind closed doors, issued We'd
nesday night by the treasury depart
ment, reads as follows:
"In convincing refutations of the
slander, which was to the erect that
the men of the new national army
opposed the war, Colonel Lord an
nounced that subscriptions from the
army to the loan already aggregated
100000. The announcement caus-
ed great enthusiasm among the dele
gates, from the army and navy, ma
rine corps, coast guard (attending
the conference), 500 of whom swarm
ed up to the platform following the
address and signed was insurance
applications, all of which, except 40,
were for the maximum of $4,000.
