NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Big Interests Objected

Dug fnteresS OCyecfe0
Carson News: The resolution pro-
posed by the Legislature urging Con-
gress to pass laws taking over the
Federal range raised all kinds of dust
storm among the cattle barons and
the sheep interests. The result of the
introduction was that the Governor
called the combined millionaires to-
gether in Reno where they very
promptly denounced anything that
looks like control. No one for a
moment believed that they would do
anything else. Anytime any one en-
deavors to control anything that gets
in the way of the millions they are
Immediately balled over and put out
of the running.
This is exactly what the Federal
control of public range would do. 1t
would limit the number of cattle, one
concern could pasture on certain
range. 1t would regulate the num-
ber of sheep that may eat a section
out by the roots. and it would give
the grass a chance to grow once in a
while. and at the same time give the
little fellow with a few head of stock
or few sheep chance to get over
season without beng run off the
range by the man with the heavier
investment.
When it was discovered that there
was even the possibility of such a
proposition passing the Nevada Leg
islature, which there never was and
never will be. the timerous ones who
believed they saw a strange COW or a
lone sheep on the range Immediately
decided that Federal control was out
of the question.
Any time any Nevada Legislature
can outlaw the husky bunch of mil
lionaires who met in Reno it will be
when they are drugged, hog tied and
all their relatives are off on a pleas
ure trip. There was certainly a
tempest in a tea pot and the bill
won't pass. and the Federal govern
ment won't take control of the range
in Nevada for some years to come.
Not on your life.

Tn. Chang. 70 National Prohibition

~~s'8e - A'1ASAAoh hoAh1stAOn
The brewing interests report that
the stock of the lighter liquors, beer
and ale. will be exhausted by May /.
But there is large stock of hard
liquors" on whiskey, rum, gin,
etc. Consequently the wet country is
hidden to expect wave of drunken
ness from May / to June 80. On
July l National prohibition goes into
effect. 1t is the hope of the brewers
and distillers that the public will be
so disappointed with the practical
working of prohibition that the peo-
pie will clamor for the repeal of the
Amendment. Their hope is probably
vain. 1t took So States to put pro-
hibition into the Constitution, but 13
can hold it there against 35 that may
wish to take it out. No Constitu-
tional amendment has ever been re-
pealed.

Assessment Work for the Year 1919
Must Be Performed

Owners of unpatented mining
claims are advised that the assess.
ment work must be performed dur.
ing the year 1919. The resolution
pending in Congress to extend the
period whereby the owner could
signify his intention of not doing the
work failed of passage during the
late session of Congress, so therefore
the ruling that prevailed for the
years 1917 and 1918 is abrogated.
This matter is partially explained
in letter written by Senator Charles
B. Henderson. 1t has since beer
learned that the resolution died in
the House of Representatives during
the last hours of the session, although
it had passed the Senate. The letter
follows:
Acknowledging receipt of your
favor of the 2lst. | beg to advise that
the usual assessment work will prob.
ably have to be performed for the
year 1919. My measure eliminating
this work passed the Senate, but
from what / am able to learn, the
House will refuse it. Also the time
is so short that it is most unlikely
that we could get this legislation
passed in the House.
Very truly yours.
CHAS. e. HENDERSON.

Proof of Falling Prices

Current Events says prices are com.
ing down. That is proved by the in
dex number" This number is OBJ
tained by averaging the prices of
large number of staple ar I i
cles. For February the number is
lower than it was in any month OF
1918. 1t is II 5-8. On January ii
was 1912; in December 10; last Sum-
mer, 10 Ia. In April, 1917. when
the United States declared war, it
was IA 1-2. Before German "kultur"
broke loose in 1914 it was only 8 81.
Average prices, therefore. are still
twice what they were before the
Great War. but have begun to SHRINK
decidedly though slowly.

liams called attention to the fact that
during the winter, many children
will be brought to the home.
During the past six weeks ! have
placed over 30 children in homes Of
the state, but in that time, over 50
were received at the home,' said Mr..
Williams. lie continued:
"This institution was established
by the 1916-1017 legislature. It has
a capacity of about 200 or $50 chill

PROCLAMATEON
NAMES OCT. ~
ROOSEVELT DAY

r. H. Wilson, state superintendent
Of public instruction in a proclama-
tion just issued, has set aside Mon
day, October 27, as the day on
which sufficient time be given in the
public schools to call the attention
Of pupils. and teachers to the Roose-
welt memorial The proclamation
follows.
Whereas, the week, October goth
to 27th, has been proclaimed Roose-
welt week in honor Of the late OK
President Theodore Roosevelt, and
the American people are called upon
to raise a fund by popular subscrip-
tidn for the erection Of a suitable
monument to the memory of this
great American, I deem it advisable
and proper in these times Of strife
and unrest to call upon the teachers
and the pupils of the public schools
to orespond to this cause as literally
as IL is possible Tor them to DO.
Patriotism and Good Citizenship,
must be the slogan of the public
schools. 7 can think Of nothing
more appropriate for the schools to
do at this time than lend their as
sistance to the erection of a memo
rial to this great American patriot,
and /, therefore, request that a suf-
ficient amount of time be set aside
from the regular program in all the
public schools on Monday, October
9th, to place this matter before the.
teachers and pupils of the state, and
at the same time impress upon the
minds of the children the virtues of
true American citizenship

THE CITY ELECTION.

~ The city election on Monday pass
ed off without excitement. There were
no professions, no emergency police
was deputized, and there were no fist
fights nor riots at the poles. Not a
ripple disturbed the smooth and polish
ed surface of life in the town. In fact.
most OF the denizens had entirely for
gotten that one of the days had arrived
on which they we're privileged to ex-,
ercise the great prerogative of Ameri-
can citizenship. They had forgotten
all about the election. But the cleo
tion went merrily on just the same.
and the City Hall crowd are as firmly
in the saddle as II the poles had been
crowded. Only IS votes were cast IN
all, of which Mayor Munson received
such an overwhelming majority that
his election is not likely to be contest
ed. His past administration seemed
to have been so satisfactory In general
that most of the citizens took his re-
election for granted and did not go
to the trouble Of voting. Charles J..
Seeds was elected treasurer, and D.
10. Chamberlain assessor. The city
council will consist Of E. w. Williams
and Robt. Barr. councilmen-at-large:
and A. H. Cleveland. First Ward. o. G.

LOCAL BOARD HAS
Completed ITS WORK
RECORDS WIRE SHIPPED TO THE
PROVOST MARSHAL'S OFFICE
LAST FRIDAY.
FOURTEEN BOXES OF RECORDS
Formal Order of Discharge Expected
by Members Of the Board In
Short Time.

The Local Board of Delaware Coun-
ty has completed it's work. The dut-
les which marked the closing of their
work was that of carefully classifying
and securely packing all records for
shipment to the Provost Marshal
Generals office at Washington, D. G..
If anyone thinks that this was a small
job, they should have been in the
Boards office last week and noticed
the work connected with the job, and
they would have changed their mind.
The entire shipment of records con-
sisted of fourteen boxes. The quest
ionnaires alone required eleven boxes :,
registration cards two boxes; and mis-
cellaneous records one box. All OF
these boxes were securely Grated and
shipped out on Friady afternoon.
The Local Board for Delaware was
organized on May 26th, 1917. J. J..
Pentony was selected chairman of the
board DR.. E. G. Dittmer was selected
as the medical member Of the board.
and County Auditor Merten J. Klaus
was chosen as the third member,
and was the secretary Of the board.
In July, 1918. Mr.. Klaus resigned to
enter the officers training school at
Camp Gordon. Georgia, and County
Recorder A. E. Dunlap, was selected
as his successor.
One Of the first duties of the board
was the work in connection with the
first registration, held on June 5th,
1917. During. the period OF the war
four registrations were held, and in
Delware County approximately four
thousand men registered for military
service.
The board has always been well up
with it's work at all times, in spite
of the enormous amount Of work in-
yolved and the constantly changing
regulations and orders from WASH
ington. The Board entrained every
man called for on the exact date when
the war department issued the calls,
and were never marked delinquent IN
regard to carrying out orders OF their
superior officers In performing the
duties imposed upon them by the gov
ernment the members Of the Board
have rendered invaluable service to the
