FIREBUCS BLAMED
FOR FIVE Big fires

The entire plant of the F. S. Muir
ply Lumber Company at Sloat. Cal.
situated eighteen miles this side of
Quincy. in Plumas county, was de-
stroyed yesterday morning by a fire
that started at 2 o'clock and which is
supposed to have been of incendiary
origin.
This is the fifth disastrous fire OF
mysterious origin to occur within
small area in that part of California
during the past week and department
of justice officials and others who
have been investigating the fires are
of the opinion that they are being
started by the same people.
Many I.W.W. agitators, as well as
pro-Germans, are said to be in the
district. 1t is understood that an ef-
fort is being made to capture the man
or men responsible for the fires.
On Friday grist mill and other
buildings at Greenville were burned
in blaze that was apparently incen-
diary and on Saturday morning half
a mile of snowsheds were burned at
a point where the fire did great dam
age and where the track was nor
guarded, indicating that it was the
work of an incendiary.
On Sunday the operations were
shifted to Taylorville, where several
buildings were destroyed and then
early Monday morning four big build
ings in Portola were burned in a fire
that started mysteriously in an un-
occupied building.
A big barn in Verdi was burned on
Sunday and the origin of this fire is
also a mystery.
| The fact that these fires occurred ir
such rapid succession and that al
have such a mysterious tint has led tt
an extensive investigation and has
caused people to be on the lookout foi
more fires.
Reno had a fire Tuesday morning
that also bears the earmarks of al
incendiary, but the damage in thi.
case was light and it has not beer
connected with the fires in the dis
trict outside of the county.-[Ren'

TO USE IDLERS IN
HARVESTING CROP

Mott Leete, farm help specialist
sent out by the department OF agricul-
ture and working under the superyi-
sion OF c. A. Norcross, director OF
agriculture, extension division. Uni
versity of Nevada, arrived here yes
terday afternoon from the eastern
part of the state. Mr.. Leete has
established free employment Offices
for farm help throughout the state
and through such employment bu-
reaus is endcavoring TO relieve the
shortage of farm labor in some dis
tricts and find employment for men
where there is a surplus of labor.
The department is urging the farm
ers in all communities to get together
and help each other harvest their
crops and unless they display this
spirit OF neighborlyness it may be
that shortage of labor will result
at the very time they will need it
most.
The minimum wage to harvest
hands adopted in the various counties
in the state so far has been SO per
day. Lovelock will probably pay
$3.50
This is equivalent to $5 per day for
harvest hands. Plenty of labor should
be available. especially in view of tbs
activity of the council of defense
which is engaged in an active cam
paign to see that the n-productiv'
and idle men of the state be com
PEELED to do their share of harves
work this season.
Mr.. Leete finds an overwhelming
sentiment among the people agains
the habitual idler and he is rounding
them up and compelling them to q
to work or go to Jail.
He left for Mill City today and will
spend about two days between ther
and Reno.

GOLDFIELD MINERS ON STRIKE
FOR DOLLAR RAISE IN PAY

A strike of all men employed in the
Goldfield Consolidated mine and all
wingfeld properties in Goldfield was
called yesterday morning and the
mines are idle. The Consolidated mill
is stiA running.
The Silver Pick, Florence and Red
Hills mines are running on S5 day
rate. One hundred and fifty men are
affected.
The mine workers have made q
demand on all operators and leasers
for an advance of one dollar day or
an increase of fifty cents a day with a
discount of ten per cent on all mer-
chandise bought from the company
store. The present rate allows five
per cent discount.
The camp wage is $3.50 and the
men say that compare with IS at
Virginia City and SIS and $3.50 at
Tonopah, it is not enough.
The operators cite the cheaper cost
of living in Goldfield, which is famous
for its low rents, and say that condi-
tions will not warrant any increase
in the rate of pay or discount on com
modities.
The state labor commissioners
office had not been informed of the
strike until told of ii yesterday after
noon and Robert F. Cole. state labor
commissioner, said he would prob
ably leave for the southern camp to-
night or tomorrow to make an inyes-
tigation.- Reno Gazette.

DRAFT AGE NOT TO
BE CHANGED YET

Associated Press dispatches from

age limits. Provost Marshal General
Crowder, whose approval of the ex-
tension has been cited by advocates
of the change in the senate, also ap-
peared before the committee to say
that while he was not insistant upon
immediate legislation, he thought ac-
ton should be taken in time to secure
new registrants under the revised age
limits early next year. 1t is probable
that this action will be taken.

Der that was called in June.
