REPORT OF
THE STATE PRISON

A review of the report of Warden
Henrichs of the State penitentiary at
Carson City shows that it cost about
40 per cent more to furnish necessi-
ties the past two years than during
the period before the war.
With the setting of the price at
1925 per bushel the price of flour to
this institution went from $68 per
ton to sos. Beans that used to feed
the inmates rose from z IL to IL IL
cents per pound, while clothing costs
all the way from 40 to 100 per cent
more.
On top of the increase of necessi-
ties the guards asked and received
an increase in their wages from S75
to $50 per month. and considering
the general hoist of prices all along
the line the employees did not get any
more than was coming to them.
The prison farm has been placed
on a paying basis. The farm COM
prises an area of 1.162.12 acres. COM
pletely and durably fenced, of which
approximately $50 acres are under
intensive cultivation, the rest being
grazed land.
The farm is now in a fair way OF
yielding a substantial revenue above
all operating expenses. All the re-
ouirements of the prison in butter
and milk are exclusively supplied by
the dairy department. and some ad,
ditional outlet. says the report, will
have to be provided for in the near
future, as the output of dairy pro-
duce is increasingly outgrowing the
demands of the institution.
On the prison farm 40 tons OF
wheat and $50 tons of hay were har-
vested during the past Summer, in
addition to about $4,000 worth of var.
ious vegetables. For the same period
the ranch has to its credit the produc.
ton of 450 turkeys, 65 calves. z colts
and 100 hogs.
A number of tables are submitted
showing the classification of the pris.
oners received, crimes, terms and
nativity.
Of the 119 received during the two
years covered by the report l6 were
natives of California.
Of the foreign born Mexico fur
nishes the most. Twelve of the in
mates are natives of Mexico. There
are three Germans and seven Aus
TRANS.
Elko County is credited with fur
nishing 81 of the inmates during th'
two years. Ormsby failed to admit
an inmate.
Of the inmates three were womeI
as against LAG males. There are sil
negroes. nine Indians and n Chin

Old Lady Robbed In Own Home.

A most brazen and dastardly rob-
berry was perpetrated upon Mrs.
Mary Haney, who lives about three
miles southwest OF Bethany, Monday
evening, just as it was getting dark
carrying in her nights wood when a
man approached her asked il he
might use her telephone saying that
| their car had broken down up the
road short distance. Mrs. Haney
kindly consented to his request to
use the phone, and at about that time
for drink of water, the old lady
pointing out to him the WATERFALL.
The man at the phone said he could
not find the number he wanted and
just then the third person, a woman
dressed in mems clothes, stepped in
to the room, and at that moment the
big man at the phone turned around
ey's face, at the same time making a
gruff and stern demand for her mon
ey.
Mrs. Haney, although terribly
frightened, tried her best to save the
earnings she had about her. and told
the bold robber that she had no mon
better, that she had a thousand dol
lars hidden there, and unless she
handed it over he would kill her ran
sack the house and burn it. While
one of the robbers held his hand over
Mrs. Haney's mouth to keep her from
screaming, the woman made a care
full search through the clothing the
old lady wore, and succeeded in find
ing her pocketbook containing some
thing over a hundred dollars in cash,
and some cashiers checks While
the male attired woman was search
ing the frightened woman, as the big
man held her, the other man was
ransacking the house in search of
more money, but in this he was I'M
successful.
After telling Mrs. Haney to make
no cutlery under threat Of instant
death. the robbers took their depar-
ture. That it was someone who was
familiar with all the surroundings
and knew of Mrs. Haney's former
habit of keeping quite lot of money
in her possession, is quite evident
This is getting rather bold when
robbers swoop down on you and hold
you up in your own home. It's time
to oil up cold Betsey" and give such
callers a warm reception when they
arrive. The authorities are busy
on this case but as we go to press
they have no information to give
out.-Bethany Republican.

PAPER SCARCE AND SOARING
SKY HIGH.
As a Result, 1t is Believed That
Many Small Newspapers Will
Have to Quit.

The situation in the market on
white paper-the kind newspapers
use-is becoming desperate. Since
before the war, when white paper
was to be had in abundance at 538
a ton, there has been a steady ad-
vance in price until it has now
reached $12O and $3.50 a ton at the
mills.
Not only that, but it is difficult to
obtain even at that price so great
has become the consumption and so
reduced the output of the mills. In
the eastern paper making districts
the bulk OF the mills refuse to enter
into contracts because OF the unsta
BILE conditions. The largest eastern
paper makers recently notified two
important papers in Washington
they could not supply them for 1920
because they had to reduce their
output. The onlv hope of relief in
sight has been the Pacific coast
mills, but the excessive freight rate
initiates against paper from that
section.
A recent letter from a white paper
expert says:
LAS far as I can forecast the stu
alton there seems to be no relief in
sight. Eastern mills are bidding
against each other, and price seems
to be no object if they can get sup
ply. / am fearful the result will be
that some of the small publications
will have to suspend. kansas
