DEMONSTRATION Train
DUE AT PANACA Soon

The Record has been advised by
officials of the Salt Lake Route that
the demonstration train will be at
Panaca sometime next month, prob
ably about the Goth. On account of
the lateness of the spring it was de-
cided to postpone the trip until May.
The train will be much larger, the
exhibits very materially greater than
last year. According to information
at hand the train will consist of at
least 21 cars and i; is expected that
the exhibits will include everything
in the way of farm implements used
by successful western farmers. The
exhibits of livestock will be an i'm
portant feature of the display to
come from the agricultural college
of the University of Nevada and the
Agricultural College of Utah.
The work of the home economics
departments of these schools will al
so be an attraction well worth see
ing and should interest every house
wife in Lincoln county.

SAYS RECORD Is GOOD
ADVERTISING MEDIUM

Some weeks ago the Records cor
respondent at Groom mentioned that
the transportation of ore from the
mine to Indian Springs had been in
terferred with because the caterpil-
lar tractor could not negotiate the
snow covered road.
Mr.. c. o. Cross, representing the
Holt Manufacturing company Of
Stockton, Cal, declares that the Rec
ord is a good advertising medium
and bases this conclusion upon the
fact that the publicity given on the
occasion mentioned has placed his
company on the defensive. The head
office and statesmen have had to ex-
plain to prospective clients that the
tractor which failed to move in cold
weather was not the product of the
Holt factory

FOOD EXPLOITATION
CAUSE OF SHORTAGE

Enormous increase in the exporta-
ton of staple articles of food without
a corresponding increase in produc-
ton, and lack of intelligent economy
in buying by housewives, are as
scribed by the department of health
Of New York, in a report issued as
the chief reasons for steadily rising
prices.
The department declared: There
does not appear to be any sudden
or recently developed emergency in
the food situation in this city, al
though there has been serious riot
ing in various parts of the city"
While the report asserts there is
obviously less dependency and real
need than has been common for
many years past" it also says, ''it
is apparent that unless the present
| high prices of food are reduced or
controlled, or as an alternative the
income of families which now main
tain themselves on $500 year or
less, is increased by raise Of wages
or through relief agencies, there will
be a constantly increasing number
of people whose health will be jeop-
ardized by their inability to buy suf-

Vlr.-LOuiSC
To Install
Big Plant
COMPANY GETTING READY FOR
CAMPAIGN OF PROJECTION
ENGINEER TO LAY OUT PLANS
FOR EQUIPMENT-A COMING
DIVIDEND PAYER.

The directors and stockholders
of the Virginia-Louise Mining com
pany held several meetings this week
and the Record is informed that
plans have been practically complet-
ed for the commencement of activ-
tiles at this big property; with the
inauguration of an era of produc-
tion.
The next step in the campaign
will be the employment of thor
oughly competent engineer to map
out the program of equipping the
property with modern facilities.
The present hoisting equipment
Consolidated, lying adjacent, the ore
is to be displaced by very much
larger plant; with all Of the acces-
sories necessary to handle ore upon
an extensive scale and at the lowest
possible cost.
1t is understood that the manage
ment is arranging to build a rail
road from the present terminus OF
the Prince Consolidated line to the
mine shaft, together with the re-
quired side tracks, etc, and the
hosting works and ore bins will be
so arranged that as the ore comes
from the mine it will be dumped
extra handling.
The mine is equipped with a YER
tical double compartment shaft, now
down 400 feet. Stations have been
cut at the 800 and 450-foot levels.
from which points drafts nave been
run to the south and the ore BODY
cross-cut las feet. Like. the Prince
Consolidated, lying liacei t the ore
bodies occur in beds, and the first
OF these beds is 120 feet thick There
are several of these beds, one Of
them being 20 feet thick and carrv-
ing higher values.
While there is a tremendous large
tonnage of ore, in character almost
Identical to the Prince Consolidated
now available for extraction; it is
proposed to keep the work of ex
ploitation going forward and with
this object in view the virgin ground
south OF the shaft will be developed
and no doubt in this task diamond
drills will be employed to advantage.
The Virginia-Louise Mining COM
pany was recently re-orgauized with
Judge Chas. Lee Horsey, president,
{. A. Thompson, secretary and treas
urer; who, with VIM. Fl. Pitts, Fl. w.
Rand and Alex. Lloyd constitute the
directorate.
The bringing in of the Virginia
Louise will materially increase the
tonnage of ore going from this dis
trict; which will be very gratifying.
indeed; but more so to the stockhold-
ders of the company, who may look
forward to reaping dividends in the
very near future With the Prince
already a velvet getter and the Vir-
gin about to enter that class, the
part of the district where they are
located will certainly be doing
; things in the right way.

PLAN TO RESTRICT
TRAFFIC. IN LIQUOR

Senators Borah Of Idaho and Jones
of Washington after conferences with
prominent prohibition advocates, have
decided to lead a fight at the present
session of congress for radical nat
ion-wide prohibition legislation and
within a few days will introduce bills
embodying their ideas.
They believe that in view of the
declaration of war the time is at
hand when congress should go far to
stamp out the liquor traffic in thase
states which have not yet enacted
prohibition laws and point to SINH
lar action taken by the various Eu-
ropean governments early in the war,
The senator's first propose, by leg
islation to create Cry zones around
every army post, encampment can
tonment and maneuver grounds, in
which no liquor shall be sold, and
create similarity dry zones around all
naval stations and navy yards. A
second bill will prohibit absolutely
all interstate shipments of intoxi-
eating liquor which is as far as con-
gress can go without amendment to
the constitution. A third bill con-
templated will greatly increase he
internal revenue taxes on all liq-
uors, the purpose being to make this
tax all the traffic will bear.
The two senators realize that no
immediate results would be obtained
from passing a resolution submit
ting constitutional amend tent to
the states for ratification. It would
take at least two years to make such
an amendment effective, wheareas
the legislation they propose can be
made effective Immediately upon it's
passage.
Both senator's are confident o. a
majority can be secured in both
houses Of congress, in support OF
this legislation now that the United
States is at war, and they propose
10 press all three bills in the hope
of securing their early adoption
While this legislation will no. make
the wet states dry, it will require
each wet state to manufacture its
own liquor, and the taxes, the sen.
ators believe, will greatly reduce
consumption because of TIE result.

Unnatural Parents Try
To Abandon Children

The case was brought before JUS
tice of the Peace Palmer; the par
ents repented and were allowed to
go upon the promise that they would
care for the children and leave Lin
coin county for good. A subscription
was taken up, the family put on the
train and away they went.
1t is said that the woman cared
so little for four children by a for
husband that she went away and
left them with hubby No. /.
The couple are lucky, indeed that
they do not have to spend a term
in the penitentiary for their crime

NO INCREASE IN SALOONS
IN THE CITY OF RENO

Last week the Reno city council
on motion of Cuncilman Frisch. de-
clared its opposition to the grant
ing of any more liquor licenses any,
where in the city, except to grant re-
newals to present holders or to rec
ognize the transfer of a license from
its present holder to new owner of
the same business The action of the
COUNSEL came as direct surprise and
was precipitated by the refusal of
the council to grant license to the

Has G. O. Jacobson, Il miner en-
ployed at the Prince Consolidat-
ed mine for several months past
met with foul play?
At any rate, he has dropped
entirely out of sight and no
trace of his whereabouts has
been found.
The theory that the man has
been robbed and murdered is
based upon the fact that when
i he left the Prince mine on the
F. 9th inst, he had about $40O in
i cash with him. Instead of de-
posting his earnings in the bank
for safe keeping; he made it
the custom to carry his money
