ANENT THE OLD
CIDER MILL

To many Winnemucca citizens
along about this time OF year must
come the memory of the old cider
doesn't come into the life of the pres
ent-day boy. The fun began with
gathering the apples, Rambos. None
such, Golden Gates, W~inesaps, North
crn Spies, Sheepnoses, and Bellfiow-
ors. Once at the mill, the wagon
stood in line while earlier comers
shoveled their apples into the hopper
that topped the humming burr.
The juicy "pummy" shoveled into
clean wheat straw in the bed of the
press was first covered with straw
and then with the cross ties upon
which the pressure of heavy screws
turned with handspikes, was applied.
How the golden-brown cider gushed
out and down into the straining tub,
around the rim of which chung honey
bees! While the men filled the bar
rels and tested strength in heaving
them into the wagons, the small boy
hung over the press to see the
cheese" taken out preparatory to
the next grinding. Then home to the
outdoor kettles. where preparations
were well under way for the apple
cutting and a~pple-butter making.
And all of the hard work in those
days was only play!
And today when you hear a man
wishing for the good old times" he
isn't hoping for a return of ten-cent
eggs and tw%enty-cent butter, for ging-
ham dresses and for jeans pants. BY
the good old days" he means the
days of apple-cider making in the
primeval way, and without the sight
of a motor-truck load of apples and
a cider mill operated by a gasoline
engine.

is In NEW HANDS

One of The Silver States really ex-
cellent exchanges, published in the
Oregon county adjoining Humboldt
on the north, passed last Monday into
the care of Lloyd Riches of Portland.
We welcome our new neighbor. May

did William Francis Seeman, who de-
livered the following little philippe
on the first page of his last issue:
"Mr. Seeman may nave incurred

editor of the Enterprise. What wide
awake newspaper man does not create
a certain amount of hatred among
those who feel they have suffered al
imaginary wrong? Very few editors
injure anyone intentionally, and it
has been proven a physical impossi-
bility to please everybody. The Lord
tried it and he was crucified by &C.
centres whose passions and many
peculiarities ruled the age. Can any
n expect a mere (~newspaper) man
to accomplish a feat greater than
that of the Lord? Certainly not!

For the Republican candidate for
governor to succeed Governor Boyle,
an effort is being made to induce
Jerry Sheehan, of Winnemucca, to
make the ace Mr.. Sheehan has been
leader in the affairs that lead to the
u~pbuilding of his city and state and
has heavy stock ranching interests
throughout the northern counties. He
has been a resident of Nevada for
th~irty-eight years and is a self-made
man, working his way from a lowly
position to the place he now holds as
one of the leaders of his community.
His entry into politics this year was
spectacular, being elected over his
Democratic opponent for state sena-
tor by a vote of three to one In a
county which has always been a Demo-
cratic stronghold. He has been sue
cessful in his own affairs and his
choice as the candidate for governor
on the Republican ticket would insure
that his party could go before the
voters on a business platform.-(To<

THERE'S MILLIONS IN
THE LOMLY COYOTE

Ii is true. In many cases the most
despised things of fifty years ago are
the most treasured of today. Take a
sheet of white print paper, for in
stance, We used to run wrappers
ON II. Now we have to be mighty
careful how many sheets we spoil, or
weIl go brokel AS one weary scribe
remarked. IF paper goes much high
er. they'll have to quit printing money
on It,"
Paper is but one instance. The for
ests which the pioneer in certain
sections of the United States labored
so earnestly to remove within the
memory of chose present" now are
longed for with earnest desire-and
we are building our new houses of
'dobe-just as the Aztecs used to do.
We would like to have wood-just as
our fathers had it, and thought it in
terfered with their agricultural OPP
erations.
Now comes the Carson City Appeal
with a plea for the coyote, which our
fathers labored so earnestly to de-
stroy and it's a perfectly logical
plea, even if Unborn prejudice does
crop put at the very mention of the
word coyote" Judge for yourself:
For years the coyote of Nevada
and the West was looked upon as a
useless, worthless prowler, not even
an animal worth while; and his n
attribute was the night howl that set
ones hair on end. It's different now;
his pelt is sought far and wide, and
it is even planned to farm Mr.. Coyote
on an extensive scale, as it is feared
his determination is in sight.
Fox farming has been made a sue
cess, and even skunks are bred for
commercial purposes. As the coyotes
pelt ranks next in value to the silver
fox. he is bounded, trapped and shot
by all who can get a chance at him.
AS the coyote is not as particular
the fox in his feed and habits, the
farming of him seems to promise an
easier problem, and then one doesn't
to go to Canada to get the pa
rent stock.
when a ear old the skin is a
valued product, and from the way
prices are soaring it will be but a
few years before a prime coyote skin
will be a choice article.
why not stake out a few coyote
IN the wilds of Nevada-and
there are plenty of such places!-and
down to coyote farming? 1t at
least sounds cozier than chasing the
cousin of Reynard over the
brush and deserts and plains of Ne
vada. 1t will seem strange to COM
mercialize the howl of the coyote and
listen with joy to several thousand
dollars worth of night chorus! Let's
make prima donnas of the lady MEM
bers OF the tribe. and if they can't
sing they can howl. and there's mill
lions in it,"

WHEN THE PRESS
is SILENT

Out of Berlin, Germany, the other
day, there came an interesting piece
of news. 1t was to the effect that the
cause of JUNIORS that were afloat and
of inability of the populace to learn
whether they were false or true.
Owing to a strike there were no news
papers. There was nothing to which
10 turn for verification or contradic-
ton of the story hat Hindenburg was
coming to be dictator. or the other
that the former crown prince was to
seize the throne of Bavaria.
There was truth in neither, but the
stories went from person to person,
gathering a little as they went, just
as we've watched rumors circulate
right here in Winnemucca, and there
was no newspaper to break their
force. The city was wild with I'M
certainty and dread. and there was
the possibility of violence. A false
rumor, until it is corrected, has the
same effect as truth.
Newspapers are recognized as seek
ers and dispensers of the truth. That
is what most of them are honestly
striving to be, and they have long
gloried in the reputation. They are
not perfect, but most of them do their
best to ascertain the facts and pre-
sent them to a public that is busy
with other things. When they fail
it is generally because some outside
person who should give the truth has
withheld or distorted it. When the
press is silent the powers of dark
ness rule. And as Berlin became ex-
cited, so would you if the newspapers
were withheld from you.

HIGH SPEED MOTORS MAY
 BE GRABBED IN GERMANY

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-The alleged
 intention of the Council of Ambassa-
 dors to confiscate high speed Diesel
 motors in Germany whether they are in finished state and in use or in the process of construction, is to be made the subject of dip- lomatic inquiry.
 This action follows the recent visit of an Entente commission to the big Augsburg industrial plant for the purpose of requisitioning
 motors which are subsequently, o be dismantled or destroyed on the
 ground that they are suitable for submarines and therefore war ma- terial.
 A message from Munich stated that workers on those motors were
 coming to Berlin to protest against seizure of the Diesel stationary
 motors not usable for U-boat pur- poses.
 A semi-official statement says that the inhibition of the manufacture of
 the motors used for legitimate pur-
 pose would mean heavy loss to German industry and result in a
 large number of workers being out
 of employment.

WAS HE TRUTHFUL? WE SAY NO.

When Governor Frazier was down in little old New York ex-
tolng the great benefits of the Nonpartisan League he took &C.
casion to give newspaper reporters nearly a page of "dope"
on what the league had done for North Dakota, and after read
ing the rot that he handed out, we have made up our mind that
as the rubber stamp governor of North Dakota, he either did
not know what he was talking about or he wilfully lied in order
to make the people in the east think that North Dakota was
simply a land of milk and honey. He pictured in a vivid way
all the great things the league had done for this state, and the
thousands, yes the millions, of dollars that Townleyism had
saved the taxpayers of North Dakota. While we will not cover
all his mistatements here is a fair sample: Speaking of the
Drake mill he said, "it has paid on an average IL cents per
bushel more for wheat than other mills and elevators in the
state and at the same time has sold -four so cents per barrel
less than other mills had sold the same grade of flour. It has
also sold the mill feed for $3.50 per ton less than other mills sold
it for" 1t can pay more for wheat, sell its flour and mill feeds
cheaper, and in a short time make IS per cent, O." $40, 900. And
its former owner was tickled to death to sell this mill for $780,
600 to the state. The recent report Of the Townley auditing
committee, while no doubt exaggerated, does not correspond
with Governor Fraziers statement that he gave the New York
papers. In fact his statement is so raw that no person will be-
leye that it is true. AS a matter of fact the Drake mill has
lost the state money ever since it started, and if a true audit
could be made of the doing of that institution, the taxpayers
would be disguised. The governors statements are about on
apar with other Townleyites, who are running our Socialist adj
ministration.

Practically all of the delegates to the Republican National
Convention, which meets at Chicago on June 18th, have now been
chosen.
The preliminary contests, as between candidates for the NOM
ination have been marked by a keen rivalry and a tense spirit
born of the general feeling that an overwhelming victory is
surely forthcoming in November. Popular pre-conventon in
terest is aroused to an traordinary degree and undoubtedly the
gathering at Chicago will be the greatest in the party's history.
Uncertainty attaches to the nominations two weeks before
the date fixed. Primaries have not clearly pointed to the iden-
ty of the standard-bearer. It is evidently to be an open-mind-
ed conveation-in the sense that a large percentage of the del
egates will be uninstructed or uncommitted when they take their
seats and.open to conviction as to choice. s~
With few exceptions, the primaries have not been altogether
Illuminating in results. Experience in the preliminary cam
jaign has demonstrated, in the opinion of close students of the
political conditions, the need Of a uniform primary system and a
movement toward that end doubtless will follow this quadren-
NAL struggle.
The number of contested delegations, almost wholly from
the south, promises to be much smaller than in former years.
On May 31st the National Committee will meet at the Coils
eum, Chicago, to take up these contests for presentation to the
Committee on Credentials of the convention.

Save THE EAGLE
NATURAL|STS BEG
Our National Bird Threatened
With determination Through
Lack of Protection.
$500 KILLED IN ALASKA
Bounty offered by the Territory Re-
suits in Heavy Slaughter in Two
Years-Qur Largest Bisd
Of Prey.

Washingt0n.-TIe bald-headed eagle,
or the American eagle, az it is more
popularity known, the country's ma
tional bird and emblem, is rapidly be-
ing externinated. Unless something
is done, ornitllologists point out, to
prevent the destruction of this great
bird, which is now going on, It will
become so scarce that it may ulti-
lnately become extinct.
1t is In Alaska that the American
eagle is most abundant today, and it
is there that the finest specimens are
to be found. 1t is in Alaska. too, that
the eugle is in the gravest danger Of
determination. In April, 1917, the ter
ritOrial legislature of Alaska placed
a bounty Of 80 cents a head for every
eagle and other birds of prey killed.
Up to the end Of April, 1919, in less
than two years. it il estimated that
5000 eagles have been killed. They
were, it was maintained, destructive to
game. salmon and birds.
1t was only recently that ornitholo-
gists awoke to the gravity of the sit
uatiOn confronting the eagles. The
American Ornithologist union, an or
%ganization of about 1000 members
composed of naturalists and scientists
scattered everywhere throughout the
United States, has now become arous-
ed to the danger. The Museum of
Natural History and other scientific
institutions is interested in the pres
eryati6n of the eagle, and ornitholo-
gists everywhere are anxious to! do
something to ave the bird from elilni-
nation. "
Not Prolific Breeder. A.
The bald eagle is anything but a pro-
life breeder; it raises not more than
one or W young in Il brood every year.
The birds build their nests in big trees
or in tall cliffs along the sea coasts.
Their nests are 3 Or i feet in diameter
and are very conspicuous. In hunting
the birds natives seek the nests. The
old birds will fight to protect their
young, and when the nests are attack
ed they hover about them. In this
