commissioners OF ELK0
COUNTY FOUND GUILTY

Elko Free Press: After a trial
lasting II days in the district court,
before Judge Emmett ]. Walsh of
Goldfeld, who was called here by
Judge Taber, a decision was rendered
by the court from the bench at the
conclusion of arguments lasting all
the day, finding the defendants,
County Commissioners H. ]. Jones
and J. G. Gregory, guilty and re-
moving them Immediately from Of
flee.
The decision of the court was a
verbal one, and his review of the
cas- consumed an hour and a quarter,
taking the specifications and group
ing them under four headings. The
court pointed out that the State had
not proven clearly many of the speci-
fications. and that much of the testi-
mony introduced was not material to
the case, and in fact found for the
defendants, generating them of the
suspicion that they had profited fl
nancially in any of the transactions.
AS stated in his decision, which
follows, the court said that the heart
of the whole trial hinged on the
specifications that the commissioners
had violated the laws requiring ad-
vertisements for bids where the
amount involved was over $500, and
that it was clearly shown by the de-
PENDANTS themselves when they took
the stand that, acting under the ad-
vice Of the district attorney, they
had allowed bids in excess of that
sun without advertising, and it was
on this specification that his decision
for removal was based.

Eureka County IL Over Its Quota, With
Instructions to Go a. far a. Possible
Thanks to the efforts of J. E. Sex
ton. who felt that Eureka County's
original quota of $40. 900 was too
high, the quota was reduced to $4O,-
900. Up. to the time of going to
press 62.6O0 has been subscribed,
which makes the county so per cent
over its quota. Instructions from
Washington. however, were to raise
as much as possible as an imperative
measure toward certain and complete
victory. Subscriptions will be closed
at the close of banking hours to-day.
There are 292 subscribers to the
Fourth Liberty Loan, and some of
them have come in by mail. Owing to
the press of business, the committee
will not be able to send a personal let
ter to each subscriber, but the names
will be published in the SENTINEL,
and should any name, through mad
vertence, be omitted, the Committee
wishes it to be called to their atten-
tiop

flee sent in to Eureka on Friday, the
18th. a deputy, to start proceedings
in a certain criminal case in this
county, the cry that went up from
the defendants adherents was ''its a
political frame-up." They did not
stop to consider that the United
States government and the State
government r not sufficiently in
terested in a local county office to
bother with who held the office or
who might be running for it.
The District Attorney. feeling that
the rumor and all it expressed was
both unfair and unjust, wrote to the
war department for facts for publ
cation. The following is the letter
sent to her office from the Adjutant
General in reply:
Carson, Nevada, Oct. Is, 1918.
Mrs. Edna Covert Plummer,
District Attorney of Eureka County,
Eureka, Nevada.
!, Dear Madam:
am in receipt of your letter Of
the 18th inst. requesting a statement
relative to the manner in which the
facts leading to the preferring of
charges against Mr.. w. R. Reynolds
were brought to the attention of the
State and local authorities.
For your information | will say
that a complaint was registered with
the Governor and myself some time
ago by a citizen alleging improper
conduct on the part of Mr.. Reynolds.
The matter was turned over directly
to the Department of Justice for in
vestigation. The investigation on
which the charges were filed was con-
Quoted and completed by an Intelli-
gence Department of the Army. No
local officer of Eureka County and
no citizen of the community Of Eu-
reka was instrumental in bringing
the matter to the attention of the
State. The State acted promptly
after certain proof had been placed
in the hands of the Governor and the
General by the Intelligence
Department heretofore referred to-.
There was nothing political in the
action at any time, which Was taken
in strict accordance with the law and
the merits of the case. on the initia-
tive of the State of Nevada aud the
United States Government.
Very truly yours,
MAURICE J. SULLIVAN.
Adjutant General.
In conclusion | wish to say that |
DID take two certain steps in this
matter: First, | asked to be excused
from prosecuting a case in which
some might claim l had a personal
interest. Second, when talking to
one of the witnesses, | did exactly
what he testified to-, l told him to
tell the truth and nothing but the
truth under all circumstances"
EDNA COVERT PLUMMER,
District Attorney.

CATTLE AND HOG FIGURES.

In line with the general plan of con-
servation formulated by the U. S. Food
Administration Immediately following
the entrance of the United States into
the war the contribution made by the
meat producers of this country to the
war program is of particular signifi-
canoe, as it demonstrates the hearty
cooperation accorded the Food Ad-
mfnistration by the meat producers of
the country. :,
According to reports Of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, there was
an increase in cattle Of ~10,23S,000 head
and 12,441, 900 hogs, these figures com
piled to January 1 last. In the same
period there was a decrease of $4,000
head Of sheep, but indications are this
decrease will show an increase follow
ing the latest reports.
Since January l unofficial informa-
ton indicates an increase in hogs of
not less than eight per cent. and not
more than fifteen per cent. compared
with one year ago, with an increase in
average weight.
Following the request Of the Food
Administration for increase in hog
production for the fall Of 1918 and the
spring of 1919 the increase may yield
not less than LOGO, 100000 pounds
more of pork products than were
available last year. Without this in
crease the shipping program arranged
by Mr.. Hoover regarding animal food
products would have been impossible.
The dressed hog products during the
three months ending September 80,
1917, amounted to 903, 172,000 pounds,
while for the same months of 1913 the
production vas 1~,277,5S9,O00 pounds,
an increase of over 374,000,000 pounds
for the quarter.
During the same period in 1917 in
spected slaughter records of dressed
beef showed 1903, 100000 pounds as
against 1,434, 100000 pounds for the
three month period ending September
1, this year.
We must increase our meat ship
ments, especially our pork products,
to meet the added demands of the mil
lions liberated from German oppres-
sion. And at the same time we must
look forward to the rehabilitation of
the European meat herds. The policy
which guided our meat program in the
past year has been fully justified, for
only the heavy pork production which
it has brought about will enable us
even partly to satisfy the increased
demands on US for the coming year.
There will be a world shortage in fats,
and it is to the United States that Eu-
rope must look to supply it's deficien-
cy. At the same time there will con-
tinue to be heavy demands for beef.
Owing to the limited refrigerator ship
ping capacity European imports Of
beef for some time will be limited.
The United States, Australia and
Argentine will be able to maintain a
supply that will keep all available
freezer vessels operating at capacity.
