Local spot was quoted at q cents
today, with none offered. New hope
was taken by cotton holders at the
sudden sensational rise at time
when it was feared the bear crowd
had about exhausted the ability of
the South to continue holding, and it
was believed that had there been no
limit to the rise possible in one day
mark considerably higher than that
reached would have been recorded.
Sumter county is vitally interested
in the fortunes of cotton, as approx
imately 10000 bales are still held in
warehouse, awaiting the long-hoped
for 35 cents Should the market soon
reach 80 cents again, it is believed
there will be considerable selling,
despite the talk of 35-cent cotton.
L. G. Council, one of the South's
biggest cotton factors, stated today
that the news was very cheering, and
would help the plight OF the south
very materially.
I'VE were getting to the point where
things looked very serious for us" he
said I'm fact, it was getting to
where almost any change would bene>
fit us. The lowering of ocean freight
rates is probably the thing we needed
most of all The next thing that will
help us-and we will have to wait for
that's the development of the world
markets. This is largely dependent
upon the ability of the people of the
nations impoverished by war to buy.
That will come slowly. In the mean
time the lower freight rates should
help us a>great deal.
81 do not look for 30-cent cotton
Immediately. l think we will have
good rise, but it probably will be
gradual"

BRIDGE
TOBEOPENFOR
USE BY MAR. |

The finishing work is being done on
the new'F'fnt-- river bridge between
Sumter and. Dooly counties and it will
be opened for traffic by March /, ac-
cOrding to information today.
The bronze tablet, which will be set
into the concrete, arrived in Americus
Monday and will be taken to the bridge
and placed, This tablet, which is
about 20X30 inches, bears the names of
the Sumter and Dooly county commis>
sioners under whose administration
the bridge was begun and nearly COM
pleted. Its inscription reads:
Erected 1918 jointly by Sumter
and Dooly counties. Commissioners
for Sumter county, Arthur Rylander,
chairman; R. S. Oliver, clerk; T. B
Hooks, N, A. Ray, s. E. Statham. Com
missioners for Dooly County, J. B.
Walton, chairman; ]. D. Lester, w. b.
Ford. Searcy B. Slack. Engineer"
The tablet will be set in the Dooly
county end of the structure in one of
the three concrete monuments which
are a part of the bridge.
The concrete was being poured to-
day in the last two spans of the bridge.
The work is being pushed and it was
stated that, since the amount of work
yet to be done is comparatively small,
and the material is all on hand, it
will be an easy matter to have the
structure ready for use by March l.
The bridge, of solid concrete ex-
cept the center span, which is of struc-
tural steel, is one of the very finest
bridges in the South. The highway
from Americas to the bridge has been
graded. and put in fine condition by
the Sumter board, and the Dooly COM
missioners have put the roadway from
the bridge to Vienna in good shape,
making an excellent stretch of high
way between the two county seats.

Major T. c. McCauley, of Taliaferro
Field, Ft. Worth, who was lost Satur-
day while flying on return trip from
Arcadia, Fla, to Souther Field here,
has been located, uninjured Word that
he had been found was flashed
to Lieut.. Colonel Dickman, comman-
der at Souther Field, last night from
Arcadia This morning the word
came that Major McCauley was un-
hurt and that his plane was only
slightly damaged.
Major McCauley, who was attemp-
ing round trip fight from Americus
in a day, left Arcadia Saturday af-
ternoon in bad weather, hoping to
make Souther Field before night fall.
That was the last heard of him until
yesterday afternoon, when he tele-
graphed Major Hickam, commanding
officer at Carlstrom Field, Arcadia,
from Fort Lauderdale. Fla, stating
that he had been forced to land Sat
urday afternoon.
When Major McCauley had not been
heard from by Sunday afternoon con-
siderable alarm began to be felt for
him at the flying field, and Monday
morning a squadron of six planes was
sent cut from Arcadia to search for
him.
1t is assumed that the place where
he was forced to land was far away
from telegraph station, and that he
remained where he came down to look
after the safety of his plane, instead OF
hurrying away to report.

STEPHENS yETOES THE
RECIPROCAL FISHING BILL

Nevadans who anticipated a reci-
procal arrangement with California
in the matter of fish and game
licenses have met with disappoint-
ment. When the legislature of Ne
vada last winter reduced the cost OF
licenses to 81, the same as paid by
homefolk, 1t was expected that Cali
fornia would do likewise. A bill to
that effect passed the California leg
islature. but governor Stephens has
vetoed 1t. So, as the matter stands
now. Californians may come to Ne
vada to fish and hunt to their hearts
content by rrocuring license at the
cost of 81, but when Nevadan's step
over the line into California for the
same purpose they are required to
pay SO for the privilege.-[Journal.

MATTHEW KYLE IS LAID
TO REST IN RENO

1t is not often that the Grand Lodge
of Masons of Nevada conducts the
funeral services of a member, for only
some grand officers of the lodge are
accorded this honor. Friday after
noon the grand lodge conducted the
funeral of Matthew Kyle, Reno city
councilman, and the services were
attended by numerous old-time friends
and brother Masons.
Walter j. Harris. a past grand
master, conducted the services as de-
sired by the late brother of the order.
and he was assisted by the grand off,
GERS of the lodge.
A wealth of beautiful floral pieces
surrounded the casket as it rested in
the blue room in the Masonic temple.
Among the floral pieces were several
large wreaths and sprays. The body
was brought from the family home at
noon and taken to the Masonic temple
where it rested until after the services.
AS a tribute to Mr.. Kyle an escort
from the Knights Templars accom-
panied the body to the cemetery. The
city officials attended the funeral in a
body.-[Reno Gazette.

TO LOOK At MINE
|. IS TO Be CONVINCED

That which gives unmistakable con-
viction that mine is being made
close to Winnemucca is a visit to the
Nevada Harmony Mines Company
property. A representative of The Sill
yer State few days ago visited the
holdings of this company. The trip
was made with auto almost to the
top of the collar of the shaft where
work is in progress.
The first thing noticeable on arrival
at camp is the orderly presentation
that greets one. Tents, bunk houses,
boarding and lodging quarters in fine
order; a gallows frame. a gasoline
hoist in action, an evidence that energy
and force is applied to carry out in
good faith the promises of the COM
pany as to development work and
the making of mine. All appeared
in good shape. adapting every SER
vicable utility and work facility to
get the most and best results for the
money expended in making a mine.
A drop into the shaft which is be-
ing sunk. under the direction of
Manager G. b. Williams, gives an i'm
preston and revelation that this is
no wild cat to squander somebody's
money on. but an earnest endeavor
to make the mine that is to be made
here. If like improvement continues
as is shown since sulphides were en-
countered the company will make good
on large scale and prove to the
mining world that in close distance
to Winnemucca mines are being made.
The climb down and up the shaft
shows a clear, distinct fissure vein
from three to eight feet wide, filled

COMPANY PROMISES TO
GRANT WAGE INCREASE

Hopes for a ready settlement of the
threatened Reno Traction Company
strike ran high when Mr.. Balwin, Sec
retary of the Fleishhackers of San
Francisco, owners of the Reno Trac-
tion Company, arrived in Reno and

alton.

BURNING Of CHURCH
RECALLS EARLY DAYS

The news of the burning Of the
Catholic church at Phoebe recalls the
first efforts of the late Bishop Scan
Ian when he came to Las Vegas when
raw country boy as a missionary
direct from Ireland. The camp was
then recognized as one of the roughest
spots in the mining frontier and those
who thought the day would come
when a church could be built and
maintained by the local population
were classed as dreamers. The young
priest was not very well known and,
at first, his ministrations were treated
with lofty contempt by those who
were expected to form the nucles Of a
permanent congregation.
The hostility was not satisfied with
passive resistance to the new order of
things but resulted in an open an
tagonism to the man who did his
best to convince the miners that there
was something higher than the sor-
NA0 kAO0CuAC "a tAC N0AlR " AOOA lOi
ward to- Finally the matter was de-
cided in positive manner that i'm
mediately caused the stock of the
young priest to rise above par and
laid the foundation for one of the
most devoted parishes in the West I
According to the story told by old
timers there was an aggressive young
Milesian who had taken every oppor-
tunity to thrust his obnoxious atten-
tions on the stranger. The time ar
rived when the priest saw that he
had to do something after the fashion
of the church militant and he pro-
ceeded to carry out his own ideas of
chastisement without waiting for the
other side to lead of. The leader of
the opposition happened to speak in
sighting manner of the priest and
all others of the cloth as the pastor
was passing the leading saloon. The
