WHITE PINE COUNTY
WORKING new INDUSTRY

The Ely Record has observed that
a number of State papers are Of
opinion that an attempt to enforce
the prohibition law will bankrupt the
State, but in White Pine County this
class of law breakers are proving
easy marks for the officers.
Since the last issue Of the Record
the proprietor of the bud" forfeit
ed a bond of $500 cash, and the pro-
prietors of the 'Antler Bar" were
touched for the same amount. The
Coffee House at Ruth also came
across with $500. and then there were
some other forfeiters, making a to-
tai in all during the past two weeks
Of $3.50, which has been received by
the county from bootleggers. In
fact the bootleggers are proving a
source of considerable income to the
county. but the officers have pursued
them so closely they are becoming
discouraged, and will NO doubt
change their lines of business so as
to comply with the law. In addition
to these receipts it is known that the
illicit dispensers of liquor have paid
out $3.50 in attorney fees and have
lost something like $1,000 worth Of

WILL AWAKEN PUBLIC INTEREST

The Manufacturer: After March
Is, next. virtually every individual
and every industry will more fully
realize what taxation means. Here
tofore its burdens have rested lightly
upon thelaverage citizen and touched
only those with larger incomes.
Times have changed and it is a man
with a small business indeed who
does not come under the $1,000 or
$1,000 exemption clause while the
profits of a large business or income
are taken up as high as 80 per cent.
Just what the effect on industry
will be, of this heavy taxation, it is
hard to say but the general impress
sion prevails that it will retard ex-
pansion and development to a con-
siderable extent.
One great good should come from
the high taxes necessitated by the
war, the tax problem will be brought

From Tussdsy's Reno Gazette
Federal control of the open range
proved to be a question over which
live stock men of the State cannot
thoroughly agree. and when Fred
Dangberg made a motion yesterday
afternoon for the Nevada Live Stock
Association to go on record in favor
of the Senate resolution favoring
Federal control of the range, he
opened up a debate that lasted for
several minutes and finally resulted
in the motion being tabled. and the
entire affair turned over to the new
ly elected executive committee of the
association.
Range control was the only ques-
ton taken up yesterday afternoon
following the organization of the as
ISOLATION. and it is the plan of the as
ISOLATION to work out some form of
range control whether it is through
Federal. State or other form. Sew
eral speakers pointed out the neces-
sity for immediate action, as the
ranges were being fast depleted and
not given a chance to reseed.
A telegram from the Paradise Live
Stock Association read at the after
noon session asked the association to
do all in its power to kill the Senate
resolution. as it would be against the
best interests of the stockmen of that
district.
j. H. Sheehan of Winnemucca was
elected president of the association,
C. w. Griswold of Elko first vice.
president. and J. H. Clemens of Reno
second vice-president. Members of
the executive committee represent
ing the sheep industry are: John G.
Taylor of Lovelock, W. N. McGill of
Ely and CHI. Duborg of Reno. Repre-
sentatives of the cattle industry are:
T. j. Bell of Nye County, R. H.
Cowles of Renosand Fred DangberP
of Douglas County. C. L. Ellison OF
Golconda and r. C. Turrittin of Con.
stantia represent both the sheep and
cattle industries on the executive
committee.
Following the open meeting yes
terday afternoon the executive com
mittee met to select a secretary ant
treasurer. but did not fill the places
The main Office of the association
will be in Reno and offices will b.
opened up within a few days.
The committee took up the Senate
resolution of Federal control o.
ranges and after discussing it a
some length appointed asub-commit
tee to visit the Senate, and it is pos
sible that some action will be taker
by the association, either endorsing
or condemning the resolution, be
fore the legislative session is ended.
The purpose of the organization a
set forth in the constitution is Ito Ok

Organization of Nevada Stockmen


~
Tie Nevada Stock Mems Associa-
ton which will have a membership Of
about $50 representing $50. 900. O0C
worth of live stock, was organized
to-day at a meeting in the Reno Com
mercial Club attended by so of the
most prominent cattle and sheep men
in the State.
The meeting was called by Gov.
Boyle for q discussion of the question
of Federal control of the open graz
ing range in the State which was
brought before the Legislature
through a resolution introduced by
Mr.. Chandler. The Governor was
not present at the meeting and Sena-
tor T. ]. Bell presided. Charles A.
Norcross, director of the University
extension work, spoke at length on
the necessity for some kind of con-
troll of Nevada ranges. which he said,
were being fast depleted by not be-
ing allowed to lie idle during any
part Of the year. Sheep and cattle
were allowed to Craze on all ranges
at all times and the forage was being
killed off rapidly, making it neces-
sary that some steps be taken to con-
troll the range.
Mr.. Knipp and Mr.. Metcalf, both
connected with the forest service, de-
clared that in every other Western
State the stockmen had an association
with which the forest service could
cooperate and that much good was
accomplished. This led to the for
nation Of a Nevada association and
the following committee on organi-
cation was appointed:
C. W. Griswold, j. H. Cazier. Geo.
Burk, Isaac Griswold and George
Russell of Elko; John G.. Taylor, ].
Sheehan, ]. B. Ellison, F. ]. Button.
G. M. Southworth of Humboldt; T.

White Pine; George B. Williams and
w. A. Keddie of Churchill; j. H.
Clemens, R. T. Jenkins. R. w. Cowles,
John Etchebarren. R. C. Jensen and
James Raiser of Washoe.
Following the permanent organi.
cation which took place this after
noon the organization discussed the
Chandler resolution providing for
Government control of the range.
The resolution is as follows:
