PROBLEMS TO BE
SOLVED BY NEW BRICK PLANT

An important factor In the future
building operations of the Ely dis
trict will be the new brick manu-
featuring plant which Is to be erect
ed early next spring at site access
ible to both water and electric power,
most probably In Central Ely.
The project is In conformity with
the plans of Capt. J. j. McDonough,
Councilman o. NJ. Wallace and Joe
Dugan, owners of the silica clay beds
In the east range of Steptoe Valley,
who are already negotiating for the
machinery needed. The enhanced
prosperity of mining districts par
ticularly, which will follow In the
wake of war cessations. the promoters
believe, will cause an unprecedented
demand for brick. Another claim
advanced for the necessity of To-
cal brick plant Is that builders will
lot he as much vexed with delays oi
building material In transit when the
principle article required is produc-
ed at home
At the present time in the country
as q whole, lumber orders greatly
exceed production and shipment.

|DUCKSHOT FOR DESSERT
AT HAMILTON DINNER

On Thanksgiving day Nick Napola
of Hamilton wound up his celebration
in patriotic manner by declaring
war ON his own account As a result
Nick is now heing held In the county
jail to await the result of the injuries
received by two aged Indians In bat
tie. When the authorities we're no.
titled in Ely Sheriff Mclean, with I'm
der Sheriff Newman and County Ply
sician Richardson left for the scene
of the trouble at once.
According to the story as told Ma
pola was entertaining some Indian
friends at dinner in his cabin and
supplied q liberal amount of liquid
refreshments. Just how the fight
started no one seems to know, but 1t
is reasonable to assume that one of
the guests spoke out of his turn.
The two Indians, it is said. both
of whom are over 10 years of age
and known as Bull Creek Charlie and
Chinee Molly, left the cabin. Napola
followed them with a double barrel
shot gun and at close range inflicted
a wound In the head of the old buck
while the squaw was shot in the
shoulder and back
1t was not advisable to attempt to
move the aged Indians to Ely so they
are being cared for at Hamilton. Ac-
cording to the opinion of the physi-
clan at this time the chances of both
for recovery are good.

ELKs WILL GIVE BALL
FOR CHAR|TY's CAUSE

The Stray Elk's of the Ely district
will follow their usual custom this
year of giving a charity ball during
fhe month Of Decembed and the event
fl.is year will by far surpass any pre-
uous affair of the kind ever attempt
ed In this section OF the country.
large sums have been raised by the
"Best People on Earth" each year by
means of a Charity Ball and the pro-
ceeds have been distributed among
lbeir less fortunate fellow men at the
Christmas season when all hearts
should be filed with gladness. This
wear II is safe TO say that very few
families will be found In this district
in need of any assistance co make
the great day what 1t should be To
them.
So the patriotic Elks will use the
money to cheer mp our boys at the
front and make each feel that while
separated from his home and those
dear to him in many cases by 10th
laud and sea, warm hearts reach out
10 him and admire him for hi5 cour-
aye and the ser rice he is rend efpg
10 us all in the preservation OF our
nation. The committee In charge
win obtain the names and addresses
of every White Pine County boy who
has demonstrated his loyalty by
going to the front, no matter whero
he may be located. or In what branch
OF the service. and he will receive
a token OF remembrance that un-
doubtedly will bring Joy to his heart
and further urge him on In his pat
rIotic mission.
The great social event will abound
With novel features and besides the
enjoyment of dancing there will be
flower booths and the like. The Elks
can be depended upon to arrange new
features which while thoroughly en-
joyable will In addition separate the
public spirited citizens from sufficient
cash to remember all our boys and
have a fair size roll as balance.
This will be devided among the Red
Cross and the Y. NJ. c. A. and by
this means every dollar will go where
It will do the most good and those
who are generous enough to support
this worthy cause will be doubly re-
paid In the end. December 18th has
been selected as the date and II Is
safe to say that while many OF us
have been obliged to remain at home
during this great war, we have no
real slackers and every man Will put
his shoulder to the wheel and help
out the local committee In every
way possible.

DIXIE SECURE.
TIES COMPANY
MAKINGFI
SHOWING

The automobile industry is the
second in big business in the United
States, and it is growing all the
time. Farsighted businessmen have
realized that an immense amount of
indebtedness was being incurred by
people who buy Oh time payments
and that this phase of the business,
while perfectly sound and secure,
st.ll was drain on the resources OF
agencies and companies and limited
to some extent the amount of bus
ness to be carried.
The Dixie Securities Corporation
of New Orleans was formed recent
ly FOR the purpose of purchasing time
payment notes taken by dealers in
the sale of trucks, tractors and pleas
ure cars. This makes it possible for
any responsible person to buy autos
on the periodical payment plan. The
venture was success from the start.
The bus ness seems limited only by
the amount of capital that can be
secured, and the company is increas-
ing it's capital stock from time to
time by the sale of stock. Quite
a number of ST. Tammany people
have become interested IN this com
pany. The following are the officers
and board Of directors: E. B. Ellis,
pres dent; B. NJ. Grunewald, Jeff. D.
Hardin, Jr., vice presidents; F. j.
Keller, secretary-treasurer Lewis L.
Morgan, F. NJ. Cordell, E. R. Green
law, NJ. J. Harston, E. A. Leonyal,
w. P. Farmhouse, Oscar E. Reeh.
The first quarterly report of the
company showed a net earning OF
19 per cent on the outstanding cap
ital stock. In fact, the company has
more paper offered than it can
handle.

WHATTHESHEEP
INDUSTRY MAY
BE BROUGHT
TO HERE
A Stranger from Kentucky
Views It AS a Fine
Proposition.
GIVES SOME FIGURES
WORTH CONSIDERING
Industry Should Bring In
Three and a Half
Million.
Editor The Farmer:

Editor The Farmer:
Dear Sir:-As stranger from
Kentucky, see many things in your
State that attract attention, and one
in particular here in ST. Tammany
parish, to which | would be glad to
call attention through your valuable
paper, in the hope of stirring up
your farmers and business men to a
great field of opportunity that Us
open to them. The subject to which
l refer is the enormous number of
worthless dogs your parish supports,
and the very small number of sheep
and hogs you raise. The facts and
figures in the case, as l have collect
ed them, are simply astonishing, and
will surprise every man who reads
this article. Let us see.
st. Tammany parish has 597 $40
acres of land; 72,36S acres of which
is supposed to be in farms, leaving
525, ,472 acres of open grazing land
for cattle and sheep. The assess
ment list of this parish shows that
you have in 1917. 14,517 head of
cattle, and only 5000 head Of sheep
in 1916, while in 1907 you had TO-,
GOO head of sheep. This shows a
decline of 5,S43 head of sheep in
ten years, while there should have
been a very large increase, and your
hogs are scarcely worth mentioning.
but the dog is to be found in nearly
every family, yes, from one to four
or five in some families. Cur dogs,
hound dogs, bird dogs, bull dogs,
Shepherd dogs, poodle dogs, every
tmaginable mixture of cross breeds.
Dogs yelping down the road after
your auto, your buggy, your wagon,
your horse, sometimes three or more
at once. Everywhere you go you
find the dog, or dogs. Under the
house, under the beds, sprawled out
on the front porch.
Visit farm house and eet one
bark at you, and here they come
forth from unseen places until you
begin to fear for your. own safety.
Dogs on the f1treets, in some of the
stores, in almost every house in
town. There is enough open land
here inside the corporate on OF Sill
dell to support 500 head Of sheep,
worth at least $4,000, but not
sheep rs to be seen. and if they We're
here, there would not be sheep left
alive in a week.
Now, OF what benefit are these
dogs? Nine out of every ten are
absolutely worthless. How many
dogs have you in the parish You
have about 1000 families in this
parish and 5000 dogs-one dog to
every three sheep, at least, and not
one single dog in this parish has
been listed for taxes IN ten years.
Incorporated towns collect some city
taxes from dogs, but not one pays
taxes to the State, as your sheep,
cattle and hogs, but the town dog is
