Plans For

Jasper citizens justly are en-

RIDES OVER
4O-FT BLUFF
Tragic Death of d. Crit Lasa-
ter Near Tracy City---Hcrse
and Rider Both Killed.

D. Crit Lasater, one of the sub
stantial citizens of Pelham valley was
found last Friday evening with his
horse at the foot of the bluff, just this
side of the old stockade road, about
ak miles from Tracy City, dead
1t seems that Mr.. Lasater had
come to Tracy City Monday and
while here seemed to be drinking
some, and exhibited quite sum #
money and left Tracy City for mis-
home in Pelham about six O'Clock.
When Mr.. Lasater failed to arrive
at his home on Tuesday his wife he
came uneasy abont him and sent one
of her boys to telephone to Tracy City
and see if he had eft there, and the
boy knowing his fathers habit Of
staying off for sever$ days at time
did not pay much attention to his
mothers request But when Mr..
Lasater failed to come home on
Thursday he .telephoned to Tracy
and found his father had left there
Monday evening The boy then
turned in general alarm that his
father could not be found and search.
ing parties were sent out thru the
country. Mr.. Lasater's hat was
found about 4 miles from Trucy on
the sPelham road and tater tracks
were foui leading to the bluff from
which it is supposed Mr.. Lasater and
horse fell some forty feet below.
Mr.. Lasater's head was bursted by
the fall and his horse had large hole
in his chest where he hit a stump
when he hit the ground and was also
dead when found. Monday night
was an unusually dark night and The
supposition is that Mr.. I.asster lost
his way and rode over tho bluff, as
all the money that he had when he
left Tracy was found on MIN.
An inquest was held Friday and
the verdict was that Mr.. Lasater
came TO his death by accident. The
body was brought to Tracy and pre-
pared for burial by E. G. Norvel'
Co. Friday night, and was taken to
Pelham for burial Saturday
Mr.. Lasater was well known thru
Grundy and surrounding counties
and was held In high esteem by all
who knew him and his tragic death
came as a shock to all.--Mrs Grun-
dy, Tracy City

PROGRESS OF THE
WALKER LAKE ROAD

L. B. Spencer, surveyor for
Mineral county, dealing with the
Walker Lake scenic road, says
the engineering forces engaged
on that project have concluded a
compromise by which they will
accept the survey for a low line
boulevard instead of the high line
road as first planned by crew
sent out by the state highway de
partnent. Mineral county was
the first to suggest the feasibility
of road built as close to the wa
ter's edge as justified by the high
est water mark of the lake.
Federal engineers who were
sent in to check up the various
recommendations gave their TN
qualified approval to the low line
which would effect great saw
ing on construction and it is re-
ported that the high way board
has decided to advertise for bids
SO that work may be prosecuted
during the winter.

Big Mining Suit
Now on rial
OWNERSHIP OF OLD NORTHERN LIGHT GROUND
TO BE DETERMINED BY THE COURT

An action to quiet title to what
is generally known as the North
ern Light mine, situated about
10 miles southeast of Yerington,
in Mountain View mining dis
trict, i'll Mineral county, is being
tried this week in Hawthorne be-
fore Judge j. Emmett Walsh.
1t seems that the ground had
been worked several years ago
by the Northern Light Company
and then abandoned by them.
On December %, 1915, f. w.
Montague, one Of the plaintiffs in
the present acton, located five
claims, covering the old North
ern Light ground. Montague
testified that he located the claims
and built the monuments on Dec
ember %, 1915, and that in Janu-
airy 1916, he sent men on the
ground to do the necessary devel-
opment work. He also testified
that these men were prevented
from doing the work by D. W.
Mckenzie, defendant in the ac-
tion.
The contention of the defend
ants, d. w. Mckenzie and others,
is that they secured title to the
ground from R. V. Taylor and
that the ground was not open for
location. That the mine was
worked and ore shipped all of the

OIL CAR OF WINE
BREAKS ELKO DROUGHT

The truth will out. Last Sat-
urday an innocent and dirty look
ing oil car reposed peacefully
along the switching line OF the
Southern Pacific Company in the
eastern yard limits of Elko.
Said oil car had been standing in
statu quo, as the lawyers say, for
several days and no one suspected
that it contained an oasis in the
desert, so to speak. Finally, the
order came to move it and the
switching crew, with their usual
zeal, went after the innocent old
oil car. A switch engine always
aims to hit an oil car with just
the proper amount of force that
will register a big crash but fall
short Of doing any damage. They
hit the oil car with just the pro-
per bump, but it was too much.
Instead Of an oil tap there was
just a good old fashioned bung
in the end of the car and the force
Of the collision loosened it. There
followed a deluge, not OF crude
petroleum, but of genuine claret.
Yes, sir. claret, the original kind
that was once wont to decorate
big, cooling, delicious claret
punches, hcreabouts, before the
dame prohibition blew her wither-
ing breath over the Landscape.
And the red wine flowed and
flowed, dyeing the ground a vel
vety red with its kicky richness.
But that wasn't all. Urged by
longing that knew no bounds
after months of fasting, local men
who were in close proximity i'm
mediately grabbed every sort OF
a container in sight and stopped
that wasteful flow, One fellow
secured ten gallons, another five
another four, etc. Engine buck
cts, tin cans, any thing that was
available, was called into play
and the real wine, welcome as the
flowers in May, was corraled

TO IMPROVE
DAIRY STOCK

4 Bull associations are here K
stay. Figures furnished by the
United States department Of Ag-
4 riculture show that there were
/ 778 cooperative bull associations
/ in operation in this country on
lst Of July, 1919, which represents
a gain of "a associations over the
previous year when records show
that there were A associations
active on July /, 1918.
Bull associations have proved
especially popular where dairying
is comparatively new industry.
Many dairymen have been anx-
ious to increase the productivity
Of their cows, but due to the fact
that their herds were small and
their resources limited, it was inn
possible for them to buy and also
maintain sufficiently good pure
bred bulls to accomplish this
to accomplish this purpose. 1t is
in cases Of this kind that the bull
association has proved most valu-
able, says the Department. BY or
ganizing the dairymen into an
association and working cooperat-
lively the purchase of proved
bulls Of high producing ancestry
is made possible. By using
these animals comparatively a
few good bulls can take the place
of all inferior bulls formerly in
the community.
An example of what the bull
association can do in improving
the type Of sires is fuond in the
South Gibson Bull Association,
of Susquehanna County Pa.
This association has 20 members
who own total Of 382 cows.
Before the bull association was
formed there were Is bulls in the
community with a total valuation
of $500. After organizing only
four bulls were needed and these
were purchased at total cost
OF $4,000. The average invest
ment in each of the Is bulls in use
before organizing was S5o1. 81,
but after the association was
formed the average Investment
was 81 200 for each of the good
bulls. In this way the dairymen
had the use of bulls that were
twice as valuable as the ones used
formerly, and at the same time
his investment was SIPS less.
The Southern States have been
found especially well adapted
to bull association work. Dairy
ing in these states is making rapid
strides, and the producers have
shown great interest in improved
dairy cattle. Twenty of the assoc
Citations formed this year are cred
tied to the South, six have been
formed in Mississippi, -four in
North Carolina, three in South
Carolina, two each in Alabama,
Georgia, and Tennessee and one
in Louisiana.

COAL MINES
MUST Be WORKED

The United Mine workers Of
America having threatened the
strike OF 10000 to 10000 miners
OF bituminous coal, to begin Nov.
/, President Wilson issued pub
lie statement, Of which the fol-
lowing is part:
1t is time for plain speaking.
These matters we now deal with
touch not only the welfare Of a
class, but virtually concern the
well-being, the comfort and the
very life of all the people.
Il feel it is my duty in the pub
lie interest to declare that any at
tempt to carry out the purposes
Of this strike and thus to paralyze
industry Of the country with the
consequent suffering and distress
Of all our people must be consid-
cred a grave moral wrong against
the government and the people Of
the United States.
i can do nothing less than to
say that the law viii be enforced,
and means will be found to pro-
tect the interests Of the nation
in any emergency that may arise
out Of this unhappy business
The miners were under con-
tract but on Sept %, at Cleve-
land, in the convention adopted
proposal declaring that "all con-
tracts in the bituminous fields
shall be declared as having auto
matically expired on Nov. l.,
1917 The words he quoted are
from the Presidents statement.
The contract was made with the
sanction OF the Z. S. Fuel Adj
ministration. 1t was to run for
the duration Of the war. (which
has not yet legally ended, but
not beyond April l, 1920.
The miners then made de-
,mands. Their pay should be in q
creased 6 per cent at the same
time, their work day should be
reduced to six hours, and their
week to five days. These are
perhaps the most extreme terms
ever made by unions for the in
crease in wages and shortening
of working hours. IS
Wages Now Paid and Hours.
A statement of the wages now
paid in the coal-mining industry
was lately made, under oath. by
Mr.. N. c. Taylor, president of the
National Coal Association He
was testifying before the. Senate
Committee on Interstate Com
merce. Mr.. Taylor said that the
eight-hour day was adopted gen
orally in the bituminous coal in
dustry in 1917 In that year 49,
900 miners were put on the eight
hour basis, $4,000 on the nine
hour and $4,000 on ten hours.
The wages now paid to the min
ers, he said, vary from S. to SIS
