BABY BEEF CLUB HAS
PROVEN TO BE SUCCESS

(By ]. A. Patrick, County Agent)
The baby beef club has come to
most successful conclusion. Being
a new venture in the cattle busiess
it was attempted with much conserv-
atism. We had never had such ex-
perience before md we naturally
halted and asked many questions.
But few men and their boys and
girls had confidence enough in the
proposition to stick to it. The cal
yes had the dams milk and all the
feed and pasturage they would con-
sumo, and they came to the fair in
prime condition. All of the calves.
were pettcd and rubbed and taught
to be gentle and show we'll in the
ring.
The calves were put on feed ac-
cording to rules that were mutually
agreed on by all parties concerned.
Space would not permit the publica-
ton Of these rules in full, but for
, the benefit of those who might not
know, the following paragraph is
published;
"The basis of award shall be: In
| dividuality 20 percent, rate of gain
35 percent, cost of grain 25 percent,
and record and story 20 percent. The
/ contestant making the highest gade
on these four points was the winner
/ Some of the boys won first on indi-
viduality, others won first on gains,
ana till others won first on cost of
gr2ir but the boy making the highest
oint on the four points took first
prize.
want~t to say for all of the boys
and girls who took part in the baby
beef club and for their parents that
they were accurate in making up The
records and that the work was hon
est and fair from beginning to end.
The prize winners were as fol-
lows: list Herman Reynolds 800;
End Frank Easley $25; Bird John
Frank Thompson SIS; 4th Cayce O.
dom $40; 5th Clyde Loving SIS; 9th
Elizabeth Frazier IS; 7th Clifford
Loving S.; 9th Pied Paschal SIS; 9th
Andrew Walker IS; 10th Wales
Kendall IS; 18th Lucille Looncy SIS.
The highest gain was made by
Herman Reynolds calf. A gain of
484 pounds for a period of $50 days
or 80 pounds per day. Clyde Low
ing was an easy winner in individual
ity.
An attempt was made to sell the
calves on the fair grounds. The
best bid that we were able to get was
10 cents on Clyde Loving's calf, 9
cents on a few of them and 8 cents
on the majority. The boys had
kept their records and had they sold
at these figures they would have lost
money on their calves. Concluding
that we could not lose anything by
shipping the baby beeves, they were
shipped with 78 head (wo car loads
cooperative cattlc) to st. Louis. 3
calves Clyde and Clifford Loving's
and Lucille Looney's) cold for 1850,
five sold for 1850 and the others for
9 cents, The highest price calf,
Clifford Loving's brought $115.58,
the lowest priced calf, Andrew Wal
ker's, and it was only 5 months old,
brought -$48.
The highest priced calf sold for 8
times as much as three of the scrub
by grass fed calves in the shipment.
Some helpful conclusions can be
drawn from the baby beef club work.
l. Calves should be pushed from
calfhood until they are ready for the
market
2. Calves sell better if they still

have their baby fat.
3. The younger calves made bet
ter gains than the older calves.
A. The farmer must give as much
thought and consideration to market
ing as to production.
5. There is more money and less
work and expense by raising animals

CAMPBELL WOULD
have ONE ELECTION

Down in Lincoln county we are
very much opposed to the present
primary election law, and propose to
make fight to abolish primary elec-
tions entirely" said DR.. j. d. Camp
bell, Senator from Lincoln county,
while he was in Reno on his way
from Phoebe to Carson City, relates
the political man of the Gazette.
Il fail to see the need of a primary
at all" said Senator Campbell. "At
best it is but a process of elimination,
and | firmly believe that single cleo
ton, at which all candidates would
be admitted, would give us results
just as good and probably better than
the present system.
Suppose, under a single election,
several candidates from each party
should file for certain Offices. The
people would have choice of candi-
dates, and it is reasonable to suppose
that in each instance the man best
qualified would get the most votes.
Furthermore, by eliminating the pri-
mary, we would reduce the cost of
the biennial elections by one-half, as
at present the primary costs as much
as the general election, and in Lin
coin county 1T usually costs MORE"

CATTLE TRAP BEING ADDED
TO SLAUGHTER HOUSE PLANT

A cattle trap is being completed at
the slaughter house of the Winnie
mucca Market. located just beyond the
ball park on the Golconda road. An
derson & McShee are doing the car
penter work and Felix Poulin the iron
work.
The cattle trap will be finished to-
day and is of interesting design. The
object is to reduce the manual labor
connected with slaughtering. A trap
is built just big enough to hold one
animal at time After it is killed
a lever is pulled which releases a
catch in the floor, the animal is low
cred to rollers and carried into the
slaughter house by gravity.
Altogether it is very interesting
process and Manager Asst states that
visitors will be welcome He will
slaughter tomorrow between the hours
of 10 am. and pm.

$4,000 CONTEST
FOR COUNTY LAND

The case of the Pacific Livestock
Company, a Miller-Lux concern. VS..
John Bernard. G. P. Raine, John
Meyer and others, which has occupied
the attention of Judge Harrington in
the Federal court for the past nine
days, was submitted Wednesday.
Attorneys r. A. Brandon of Winnie
mucca and Chartz of Carson City ap-
peared as counsel for defendants,
while Attorney L. G. Campbell of Win
nemucca and E. X. TreadwelI of San
Francisco were counsel for plaintiff.
The case grew out of the settling of
the defendants upon meadow land in
the High Rock country, in the north
western part of Humboldt county,
known as the Meadows, which the
plaintiff corporation claims to have
owned and possessed for the past
forty years, but which, the defendants
claim, was open to settlement because
it was not legally within the bounda-
ries Of the sections included in the
survey of plaintiff
The defendants have been tilling
the land for number of years and
contempt proceedings had been insti-
tinted against them a number of
months ago. They had raised lot
of hay, and for its protection the Mil
ler-Lux company was put under heavy
bond. In the case submitted Wednes-
day the plaintiffs were also required
to file bond for $500.
Federal Judge Harrington has taken
the case under advisement and will
come here to check disputed testi-
mony. The property is estimated to
be worth about 100000

FRACTION OF JACK

In taking up Henry Ford's petition

tions decided Friday to hear all evil
dence in open session. The first thing
the committee did was to unanimously
adopt resolution by Senator Ash
hurst of Arizona (DemocraD for the
public hearings.
A sharp conflict developed over the
right of the committee to decide a
contest for seat in the next Senate.
Chairman Pomerene said the question
would have to be settled later, and
discussions with counsel proceeded.
Alfred Lucking, Mr.. Ford's counsel,
declared that the acknowledged ex-
penditures of $176,000 in Mr.. New
berry's campaign were only a frac-
tion," and charged that they actually
reached about $50O,000.

NO STATE SENATOR
FROM NYE COUNTY

No special election is being held in
Nye county today, and none will be
held. to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of the late ]. Wesley Stew
art. A decision to this effect has been
delivered by Judge j. Emmett Walsh
of Goldfield, who ruled that the tenn
porary injunction granted Thursday
morning to restrain County Clerk
Larry E. Glass from proceeding with
the election as called under the writ
of mandamus issued by Governor EN-
met d. Boyle should be made perma-
nent.
Under the ruling the taxpayers of
Nye county will be saved between
$4,000 and $4,000, says the Tonopah
Times, and every person having. the
best interests of this county at heart
approves of the ruling made by Judge
Walsh.
In rendering his decision regarding
the demurrer that had been filed by
defendant, the court held that the
constitution could not be held to be
self-operative. but that. on the other
hand. laws pertaining to general cleo
tions must prevail.
The court said, in effect, that when
the Legislature passed the election
law governing the conduct of cleo
tions IT evidently passed it for all
time. Under the law, person must
appear and make affidavit that he is
entitled to vote before his name can
be entered on the registration books,
and that the county clerk is di-
rected to certify the registration 50
that, therefore, the theory of dc end
ants counsel that voter could swear
to his vote would not hold good. In
other words, the court ruled that a
person is entitled to vote provided he
is in the county at the time of cleo
tion and is qualified under the laws.
Therefore a person who has reached
his majority since the last general
election should not be disfranchised
simply because the constitution di-
rects that the Governor shall issue an
election writ in case of vacancy. Ii
was held that the Legislature should
have provided some statute to meet
the emergency, and until this is done
the general election laws are appli-
cable. There was some questioning
of the decision by interested lawyers

tion the Senate would have stood II

the Senate would have stood nine to

However. the two leading parties
had joined in the nomination of Mrs
Stewart, widow of the deceased Nye
county Senator. and her election would
have left the division nine to six or
ten to six. according as to whether
Mrs. Stewart would have aligned her
self with the Republican majority or
have stood as an independent. Her
declaration was that, if elected. she
would have carried on the work of

of his wishes. There
appears to have been an overwhelm-
ing sentiment against the special eelc-
tion in Nye county, says the Goldfeld
