SUPREME COURTS
ACTION Is AWAITED

Unless the Supreme Court of Ne
yada. at the hearing next Wednesday,
makes some decision regarding the
binding force and effect, or lack OF ii,
of the act of the Legislature creating
Pershing County. Nevada, confusion
worse confounded promises to obtain
in the affairs of Humboldt county.
Yesterday, as expected, Pershing
county took preliminary steps to pre-
vent the holding of the special refer
endum election ordered by the County
Commissioners to be held May 13.
This action was brought into the
district court here on complaint of
Zoe Palmer. whose married name is
Zoe Palmer Oden, who is resident
of Lovelock and owns property IN
Winnemucca, according to the COM
plant Notice was served that COM
plainant would ask, next Saturday,
for restraining order directed
against Humboldt county officers, to
prevent the election being held.
In the meantime County Clerk
Davey is busy today sending out
notices Of close of registration "a
copy of which appears in the fourth
rage of this issue) to all deputy regis
trars-and this includes all those who
held that office in Humboldt county
in what is now the alleged and pre-
tended" county of Pershing. So far
as the county clerk and registrar is
concerned, there is no Pershing
county.
Judge Hart of Fallon, sitting in
this district court for Judge Callahan.
has postponed the hearing on the re-
straining order issued by him against
the pretended commissioners of the
alleged county of Pershing until May
6 at 10 o'clock am, continuing the re-
straining order until that date.
Opinion is, however. that after the
Supreme Court has heard argument
next Wednesday in the division case,
take it under advisement and render
a decision one way or the other at a
later date, that the matter will be
practically settled.

OPTIMISM AMONG
ALL BUSINESS men

An epitome of dozen weekend
the country is rapidly settling down
to normal business conditions. Prices
in many different lines mentioned ap-
pear to be nearly stabilized upon a
higher than pre-war basis. The tone
of all business reports indicates con-
fidence in the future and feeling Of
security in prosperity that is to last
through many coming years.
Reviewing business conditions, the
Federal Reserve Board says the price
situation is still the controlling factor
in business conditions and outlook.
Several developments of Importance
are evident in this connection. There
has been a continuous, though mod
crate, decline of prices. Practically
all standard index numbers show a
falling off. Bradstreet's number for
March / was $17.2244, a decrease of
23 per cent from February /; Dun's
.ndex number showed decline of la
per cent Sauerbeck's British index
number indicates parallel falling
off of about 2 per cent.
In general, the manufacturing situ-
ltion is reported somewhat mixed" !"
Manufacturers of boots and shoes re-
)ort from various districts that their
business is almost normal, and in
some cases up to capacity. In gro
ceries, retailers are buying slowly,
while large stocks on hand have
,aused sharp declines in prices. In
some parts of the country wholesalers
ind business improving. In the Mid
lie West, activity in many lines is all
hat could be asked, while elsewhere
production is still far from normal.

ts lowest point and is beginning to
improve. American Woolen Company

STATE MUST PAY
$500 TO W.PAC.

An important point of law was de-
cided Monday, says the Reno Gazette,
when Judge Lunsfofd handed down a
decision in the case of the Western
Pacific Company against George Brod-
igan, Secretary of State of Nevada,
overruling a demurrer of the defend
ant and practically ordering the State
to refund a fee paid by the company
in 1916 for license to do business
within this State, which. the company
contended, is unconstitutional.
The Western Pacific Company paid
the State $500 for articles of incor-
poration in 1916, under protest. The
company set up the argument that
this charge was unconstitutional. be-
cause it was and is an outside cor
poration doing an interstate business.
The State claimed that the company
paid the fee voluntarily, and Judge
Lunsford, in overruling the demurrer
decided that the contrary was the
case.

Welshons said this morning that
while enough water had not yet

the demands of the ranchers there.
because of insufficient time since the
thaw began, still prospects are bright

for him to enter into a deal with
Stinson, who is a Republican, and
oust all three of the old members.

Market Opinions

j. S. Bache & Co.. New York: The
public generally is holding its specu-
lative stocks, but not buying much,
and the market, consequently, is very
largely professional. However, when
professionals succeed in lowering
prices a few points, the confidence of
the public in the market is shown by
what appears like public buying on
the decline, instead of, as is usually
the case, on the advance.

GERMANS WE'RE PREPARING TO
 FIGHT POLAND

Grodziec, Poland, Nov. 14-Down here in former German Silesia, where Poland and Germany are engaged in a bitter controversy on boundary questions, American Red Cross work CTS have been delivering their sup plies under the unfriendly supervision of a long line of German observation balloons. These supplies, unloaded on the Polish side of the frontier, were for Polish refugees who have passed and are still passing into Po- land from Silesia.
 When the boundary question first became acute, Germany started to make a war-like show along the from tier There were German troops en- gagged in military manoeuvres just across the river from Grodziec; there were many trainloads of field artillery ostenta1ously brought to the frontier and planted in hidden emplacements behind the hills; there were scores of airplaneS and observation balloons, the latter on display every morning, bobbing at their slender strings. By night also there was a continual hustle on the German side of the line-signalIing and night manoeu- vres. The frontier which here lies along the little River Brynies, bristled with armed guards and pickets. It was the show-window of wars prelim- inaries, designed to impress the peo- pie across the border with Germany s power and earnestness-
 The Polish authorities estimate that 86,0o0 Polish refugees have fled across from German occupied Silesia since August IS. At first the Ger mans made no objection to this wholesale exodus; rather, they favor ed 1t.

Yet from 500 to 700 refugees are cross Ing the border into Poland every 24 hours, mostly at n.g1lt.

Retain CroUn
Long, Belief
BY H. c. Hamilton

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
New York, July sl.-Many an argu-
ment over the ability Of Jack Dempsey
has taken place since he was first
matched to meet Jess Willard for the
worlds title. Lots Of experts could see
that Dempsey was in for an early lick
ing at the hands of the giant jess, and
they failed to admit conversion TO the
side of the new champion after the bat
tie.
Such men as Jack Skclly, Jack Nc
Auliffe and others Of the Old past in
fight-affairs have declared there never
was a fighter like Dempsey and that
is the belief of the writer.
l never saw John 1. Sullivan, Jim
Corbett or Bob Fitzsimmons fight, but
the very mvireiblity Of Dempsey makes
it quite improbable that he viii have to
surrender his title within ten years-al-
ways providing, of course, that he takes
proper care of himself
Many a championship has gone with
the flowing bowl and the things that
go with it. Rarely has there been a
champion strong enough to resist the
luxuries that are available to man
with plenty of money. They ruined
John l.. Sullivan, Ad Wolgast and many
others. They will ruin Dempsey unless
he pays atteation to his condition AT
all times
And that is the reason for confidence
in Dempsey. He has always proven
strong enough for any emergency.
Doubtless he viii find himself able to
carry himself through this hard fight
against temptation.
Jack MeAuliffe declared after see.
ing the young tornado drop Willard
timo after time, while winning the
championship, that he never had seen a
puneher the equal of Dempsey. lie com
pared him with Fitzsimmons, and all the
old champions he loved so well, and did
not find the new champion wanting.
"Ht hits like Sullivan and McGov-
ern," said MeAuliffe. "He never will
be beaten so long as he pays attention
to his condition. He should be cham
pion ten or twelve years and then re-
tire undefeated."
There ism I a challenger worthy of the
name for Dempsey right now. There
is Willie Meehan in found.round go,
but Dempsey would make minee-meat Of
that chap. Joe Beckett is little known
ON this side, but it is doubtful Of he
would have a chance. Billy Miske prae-
tically admits he doesn't care to battle
for championship held by Dempsey.
II is quite probable Beckett will have
a chance with the champion, for he Is
picked to defeat Carpenter, and thus
arouse interest in title combat.
