posed in the next Legislature permit
ting the sale of light wines and beer

hibits the sale of liquor in saloons,
roadhouses and cabarets.

not less than 10 per cent of the total
number of electors voting for Justice

GRAZING FEES ADVANCE SHARPLY
Will Be Increased About 65 Per Cent
Washington Advices Say

Will Be Increased About 65 Per Cent,
Washington Advices Say
Salt Lake Tribune Dec. 8: Graz
ing fees in all National forests will be
advanced about Is per cent, accord
ing to information received from
Washington last night, next year
over rates charged this year and last,
and will be exactly double the rates
that were in force in and prior to
1916. Announcement to this effect
was made by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, who simultaneously an
nounced that. beginning next season,
five-year grazing permits will be is
sued where desired by stockmen and
where conditions permit.
Under the new schedule, all graz
ing fees are to be based on cattle
rates, which will vary from 8 cents
to a dollar and a half per head per
year-long period.
In Utah, Idaho, Wyoming and Mon
tana the rate on cattle for the full
year will range from one dollar to
one dollar and twenty cents. The rate
for sheep and goats will be Is per
cent of the rate for cattle; horses will
be Is per cent more than cattle, and
the swine rate will be rs per cent of
the cattle rate. The old method of
computing proportionate charges for
grazing during only part of each year
will be followed, namely, 10 per cent
of the yearly rate for each month.
Secretary Houston had intended
to raise grazing rates gradually, be-
ginning in 1917 with a 80 1-3 per cent
advance for that year, another third
the next year. and by 1919 put in eff
feet rates double those that pre-
vailed in 1916, but disturbed condi-
tons led the secretary to advance
rates only Is per cent in 1917, since
which time there has been no fur
Their advance. because of war condi-
tions.
The secretary has already begun is
surance of five-year permits, which
are subject to all annual reduction of
not more than 5 per cent to provide
for new settlers.

tees issued a statement to the patrons
of the schools in which it said: From
| the best information we can get we
| believe the number of influenza cases
in Reno is increasing. We believe
| that the attendance at school causes
a part of this increase. Physicians
report that since the opening of the
schools the percentage of cases among
the children has greatly increased,

mental Plant

Winnemucca Star: Experiments
in the extraction of oil from the shale
beds near the town of Elko have been
in progress for some time past and
it is announced that operations in
this line and on a commercial scale
will be started by the Southern Pa

"IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE"
The Rollicking Show at the Colonial
Wednesday Night

It is generally conceded that Roi
Cooper Megrue and Walter Hack
ett's farce 1T Pays to Advertise, )"
which comes to the Colonial We'd
nesday night, is one of the best
comedies seen in many seasons.
cit Pays to Advertise" presents
the very essence of American spirit,
American humor and American char
acter. If you saw the piece trans
lated into French, or any other LAM
guage, there would be no mistakin9
its original, and certainly no more
side-splttiAS farce has been con-
cocted here. AS matter of fact,
at Pays tc Advertise" j. one of
those plays that provoke real breath
bereaving 1nirth, the sorc that makes
you throw your head back until ii
rests on your chair and laugh to
your hearts content
Yes, there is no doubt about it
at Pays to Advertise" is a rarely
amusing, well written and we'll acted
play and like all the best pieces of
it's kind it IS founded on an origina
idea, which we will not here disclose
for fear of spelling the enjoyment of
prospective patrons.
