NEVADA MEN
GET CONTROL
WOOL CROP

The Nevada wool clip this coming
able in the history of the state, says
the Reno Gazette. 1t will probably
not be the largest but the net profit
from 1t will be far in excess of any
other year according to sheep men
who have kept close watch on the
situation.
Fifty-eent wool is looked forward
10 by wool buyers and sheep owners,
and at the present time the spring
clip in California is selling around
forty cents and is shipped as fast as
ii is clipped.
Land q Cattle company and the Union
Wool company, refused to sell their
option on the spring clip in certain
Nevada districts for cash offer of
100000. according to reports given
ont by wool growers in San Francisco
Humphrey & Moffat took an option
early last fall for about 100000 lbs.
OF woo! at prices ranging from twen-
ty-iiye To twenty eight cents pound
ii is understood, which means an
outlay of over 100000 when the clip
Is in. II the price remains around
fifty cents the two men stand a
chance To make around 100000 on
their option on wool alone
The same company secured an OPP
tion on unborn lambs during the win
ter at an average of So head for an
estimated 200 900 head of lambs. On
this deal II has been figured the COM
pany will make net gain OF over
forty per cent Judging from present
high price of sheep.
Dealers in wool and sheep on the
coast are pointing to humphrey and
MofIat with considerable pride and
giving them credit for figuring out
the great decline in the production of
American wool during the past ten
years. IL Is estimated that there are
at least 6.o00.o0O sheep less in this
country now than there were ten
years ago and the embargo placed by
England on export wool from Aus
tralia gives the Nevada men clear
market for their wool and lambs.

PROPERTY HOLDERS TO Be GIVEN
FACTS REGARDING PIPE LINE

Through an article recently publish
ed In Reno paper, several property
holders of Gardnerville have gained
the idea that the local fire department
has let contract for the building of
pipe line from the Douglas Power
company's dam to Gardnervile at a
cost of $4,000. 1t is only fair to the
fire department to state that no such
contract has been let; in fact the de-
partment has no such power, and
would not such authority were it in
their power, without first getting con-
sent of the majority property holders
of the town.
For some years there has been more
or less discussion of installing an
adequate system of fire protection.
The matter of purchasing motor
fire engine has been quite thoroughly
investigated and 1t has been found
that such equipment, together with
a suitable building would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000. However, as
the town has no way of securing
water for such an equipment, it being
estimated that an engine throwing
800 gallons of water minute, that any
Of the present fire cisterns would be
emptied in less than ten minutes
To pipe water into these cisterns from
the river would probably cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000, making an.
outlay of at least $4,000.
In this discussion of fire protection.
ii was suggested to the fire depart
ment that the most feasible plan
would be that of piping the water
from the Douglas Power company
dam. A member of the company
stated that satisfactory arrangements
could be made for this privilege. re-
sulting In having Mr.. Burr of the
Nevada Engineering Works come
here and make a survey for the pur-
pose of ascertaining the cost of such
a system, together with the pressure
to be obtained. He found that there
was 1877 feet fall between the dam and
town, which would deliver a pressure
OF 80 pounds at the fire hydrants, thus
doing away with necessity of pumps
This information was given in tele-
gram to the fire department Monday
The complete report of Engineer
Burr is expected within the next few
days.

COACH WEST is TEACHING GRID
IRON MEN THEORY SIDE OF
GAME IN CLASS ROOM.

A course of football instruction has
been inaugurated at the Ottumwa high
school by Coach West and so eagerly
are the boys taking up the work that
Principal W. B. Rice believes that
next year the local school will be
represented by the best athletes it
has ever Mad. The class is held twice
a week and the boys are taught the
rules and science of the game.
Next season when football is called,
the men will not only have the ply
steal powers to exert on the gridiron,
but will also have the science of the
game in hand. The latter feature
will be OF great help to the boys in
doing, at critical times, the right
thing.
Football plays are discussed at this
class, the manner of executing the
play: and defensive tactics to stop
them. BY study and observation
during the winter months the boys
will adapt themselves to what is
| known by gridiron men as Football

lie as pounds Of weight.
II the class proves as successful as
Mr.. Rice thinks it will, spring train
ing season will be. arranged. While
no big plans are being made for this
training. it will probably be a camp
where the boys will be hardened into
the game before the actual start of
the school year. The spirit at the
high school the. past season was very
commendable and while It was not a
successful season from the victory
side. it was successful in that q coach
was found who is willing to devote his
winter months to teaching the game
and that the boys are willing to spend
