NO LOSS OF SHEEP AND LAMBS
ACCORDING TO w. n. MGILL

No loss of sheep nor lambs has been
experienced by the Adams-McGill
company this spring on account OF
the wintry weather. w. N. McGill said
TO the Ely Times. The Landing sea-
son of the company's locks is Just
starting. and the sheep will not be
sheared until about May 20. Mr.. Nc
Gill said that the only losses he has
heard of were in the Eureka country
and north and south of there, and
that no authoritative information as
TO the extent of the losses there a
been received by him.
Speaking of the relative wool pro-
dueing value of common sheep ana
blooded ones, Mr.. McGill said that the
latter type produce more and better
wool, and hat they are also larger
and more valuable as market sheep.

Circus is coming! Tomorrow in the
day. "Ain't it a grand and glorious
feeling?" The small boy will be in
his own.
AL G.. Barn IS big four-ring wild
animal circus will establish itself for
a season of one day. Two special
trains of railway equipment will bring
the amusement institution to the city.
According to Thomas Fr:ncis Heney,
representative of the circus, who is
in the city today making final ar
rangements for the big show and the
parade.
One performance will be given to-
morrow. Doors to the big show open
at l o'clock. Big show performances
start n hour later. 1t is the day
the small boy has been waiting for.
And, of course, Papa and Mamma just
go to take care of the children and
incidentally recall moments of their
own childhood.
There's a thrill every minute. Thirty
kings of the jungles are shown at one
time in one of the big steel arenas.
The trainer stacking the great beasts
in a pyramid and lying upon the top
most one. This is the largest single
group of lions ever exhibited and is
valued at 5000. The courage and
daring of the trainer as he puts them
through their work makes one fairly
gasp with wonder.
Fascinating as the sight, little
shivers run up and down the spine,
as the audience watch this act. \
band of bears, black, cinnamon, po-
lar, sIoth, Siberian, in fact nearly
every specie have been educated to
skate, race with chariots, wrestle.
ride g~alloping horses, and otherwise
show exceptional wisdom.
Martha Florino. an unusually pretty
girl, presents a number of Persian
leopards, pumas and jaguars. Her
ability in handling the snarling beasts
is amazing.
The show contains 40 feature acts.
1t opens with a spectacular pageant
depicting the story of "Alice in Jungle
land" AS an educational feature for
the children the pageant has few
