Grand Jury Recommends Change

Declaring The present system of
handling all cases concerning vio-
lations of law relative to the illegal
sale of liquors to Indians to be
farcical, the federal grand jury has
presented to United States Judge
Harrington a resolution urging that
congress make material changes in
the procedure in such cases. 1t is
urged that the present law be chang
cd so that violators would be taken
before United Safes commissioners
and have their cases disposed OF
by these officials, instead of plac-
ing an additional expense on the
government by requiring grand jury
action and subsequent trial in the

MYSTERY OF THE
VANISHING FAMILY
(Tonopah Bonanza.

(Tonopah Bonanza).
Goldfield has a kidnapping case
that surpasses the Thaw experience
ir racy incidents and excitement. A
woman Divorce recently stole her
four children right from under the
nose of the father, who was sand
bagged, and the nurse was tied to
a chair, while the mother, 1t is al
legged, and her confederates, boldly
took the youngsters right out OF
the house and then disappeared.
The vanishing act was accomplished
with as much celebrity as though the
entire party had faded into thin
air and gone sailing off on a Zeppc-
lin. The sheriff's office is c%onfound-
ed and mystified by the occurrence,
for the latest reports state that the

sheriff's office is engaged in ex
planning that while all roads do not

down an almost perpendicular preci-
pice to the bottom 1000 feet below.
The driver and owner, H. P. Craig,
jumped in time to escape, while the
front team succeeded in getting a
toe hold and breaking loose from
the wagon. 1t is estimated that
the team that went over the praci-

This department will conduct
two contests during the year, the
Lydia prizes for stories of personal
achievement, and the Robert Nc
Cutcheon Brown Memorial open to
~high-school students and the stu
dents of the county normals for ORR
ginal short stories. For this last
prize this year thru the generosity
of Mr.. Hugh Brown of Tonopah,
we shall be able to offer three prizes,
LIST prize, SIS; End prize, $40; Sd
prize, IS. Within the next week
we shall notify all the high schools
of the state of this contest, giving
details. All manuscripts are due
May 80, and awards will be made
as soon as a committee can go over
them. The library extension depart

do no think it wise to introduce a
bill this session of the legislature
but will secure all the material from
states where this law is in effect
and next year we shall ask each
federated club to have n library
day and we shall try to have some
women well informed upon the sub
ject present it to each club. Then
the clubs will be asked to pass
resolutions for or against such a
plan.
Before this department retires
We shall have drafted a bill which
we shall present to the next legis-
lative committee of the state fedora
ton. asking them to push it vigor-
ously. We may be criticised for
not presenting a bill at this ses-
sion Of the legislature. But the
chairman, with Mr.. Layman, lib
rarian at the university, has pre-
sented two library bills to previous
legislatures and they were lost in
committee because there was not
enough people interested to see that
they were reported out of com
mittee. For this reason we shall
ask all the clubs to plan on one day
as library day on their next pro-
gram.
"In the department Of literature
it is our purpose to send out re-
port sheets asking the clubs what
literary work is being proposed and
Offering to supply outlines, plans
and directing them to available ma
tcrial. BY the time for arranging
next years program we shall be pre-
pared to help materially, and the
clubs will be acquainted with our
department"

she cannot publish further informa-
ton and notes received this week,

J.. M. Neeland, a Los Angeles bust

Goodsprings to investigate the pos
sibilities of Mesquite valley as a
field for the raising of sugar beets.
1t is estimated that $4,000 acres in
the valley will furnish good soil and
that thu natural water conditions
are such that little drilling will be
necessary to secure ample water for
irrigation. Mesquite valley lies
along the Nevada-California bound

To FRUIT GROWERS /:

] have carried you through the first
and second years of the SKOOKUM
history, and now will tell you of the
1915 deal. Along in June of 1915, after
consulting the manager and the sales
staff of our New York office, we de-
cided that we could sell much larger
pack of SKOOKUM than ever before,
as the brand had gotten well under
way, and already there had been in
quiries from BOSTON. CHICAGO,
MILWAUKEE and other cities. Under
the EXCHANGE system of operation
the growers are the master, and the
EXCHANGE is always the servant.
Our contracts throughout carry that
idea. And when it comes to sales and
all other operations, the EXCHANGE
RECOMMENDS, but never attempts
to DICTATE. 1t is up to the growers
to take the advice or not, as they pre-
fer. So, we have system of submit
ting allt orders. offers, etc., to the
shipping associations on blank form
that we call the OPPORTUNITY"

are numbered, and carbon copy is

This is the work of JACK SEARS, a
famous cartoonist in New York, who
used to draw the cartoons that illus
trated ARTHUR BRISBANE'S edi-

has also done lot of illustrating for
other publications and did the amusing
sketches which illustrated Ebert Hub

SEARS got up for SKOOKUM you
will notice carries the most smile COM
pelling cartoon of little Indian kid

out smiling in sympathy. Shortly af-
ter this card began to run in the cars,

yertisement of the largest retail cloth

this manner. late in June, 1915, an

licensed SKO0KUM shippers, asking
for subscriptions to total pack of 200
cars or l26, 900 boxes-an increase OF

OF the 200 cars requisitioned, lS9
cars were subscribed. Then came the
hail and the worms and the total avail
able supply of extra fancy quality was
greatly reduced, though, of course, the
growers could easily have shipped the
full 200 cars under SKO0KUM if they
realized how much better it would
have been for them. OF course, they
realize it now well enough. However,
there were actually shipped 1910
boxes, consisting of Jonathan, Grimes,
