pearing from view and i'll their place

Those not used to paper money i'll the

the silver, but owing that the trusty
old dollar is being melted and shipped

the application of r. G, Linville to
discontinue electric service for the
town of Wonder.
In the application for discontinue
ance Linville states but few patrons
remain in the mining camp, that there
is no call for mining power service,
and that in conducting steam cleo
trio plant he has lost money for sew
eral months. There being no protest
to his request, Wonder is to remain
in the dark.
1t is understood that the plant is to
be moved to Carlin, where it will be

RECEIVERS ATTORNEYS
ARE ALLOWED $2s, 500

County Clerk Morton received today
the opinion OF Hon, G.. J. McFadden,
Judge of the White Pine district court,
who sat in place of Judge Frank p.
Langan when the hearing came up in
this county three months since on the
question OF determining the amount of
fees to which Mack & Green, attor-
neys for Receiver Frank Wildes of
the State Bank and Trust company,
were entitled to. says the. Journal
In his decision Judge McFadden al
lows fees in the amount of $2S,50O,
though the attorneys claim was for
$4,000 and this latter amount was not
in excess of the estimates given by
authoritative witnesses at the time Of
the hearing. In reviewing he case
Judge McFadden stated there was no
foundation for the charge that he at
torneys had at any time been negligent
or careless and he commenced them
for their success in collecting $4,000
from Thomas Hickey and other off
GERS of the defunct bank and forprose-
cutting defending and winning suits
that placed over 100000 in the hands
of the receiver.
In the opinion it is stated that Mack
& Green have been employed by the
receiver since 1908 and have taken
care OF over $50 suits in which the
banks affairs have been involved.
Prior to the hearing of the action
just decided the attorneys had been
allowed $l3.500 by the court of this
county.

JAps CAN'T JOIN UNION

By an almost unanimous vote, the
Sparks machinist union has voted to
bar Japenese from membership in the
union. The vote was taken at the re-
quest Of the national organization
when the matter was brought up by
the California unions. Each local
voted separately upon the question, it
being optional as to whether the local
unions may include the Japanese in
their membership or not
The Japanese question has caused
quite stir among the California un-
ion men and the Japanese machinists
have been persistent in asking to
be admitted to membership. In some
of the California railroad shops large
number of Japanese machinists are
employed SO that the question of al
lowing them to become union men is
an important one there. The Cali
fornians have voted to keep the Japa-
nese out in nearly every instance.
There are no Japanese machinists
employed at Sparks, as it happens, al
though large number of these men
are employed at numerous places in
the shops. Most Of them are helpers
or 1aborers and the vote will not af-
feet the situation here.-Gazette.

GENERATING BOOM
IN MINERAL COUNTY

Increased enthusiasm during the
past month by companies organized,
and prospectors in Coal Valley, Min
eral County, Nevada, and vicinity has
caused a small boom there and all
likely soil situated within eight (8)
miles around has been located. Dur
ing the past ten days an oil expert
by the name of Van Auken from Cali
fornia, viewed the holdings of the Ne
vada Coal and Oil Co., and gave it
decided boost, and is very anxious to
to get lease to drill first on the prop
erty. Another holding adjoining this
property had an exceptionally good
report by Nevada University profess
sor, which will be checked UP by a
California oil expert of we'll known
fame-who has promised that should
this property prove as good posi-
bility as already reported he will ask
for lease to heve test we'll started
inside of two months from the date of
examination. These incidents have
caused intense development work with
several new companies-so that while
comparatively new coal and oil field,
it will be the first to accomplish any
actual development on large scale.

Proper Placing of Load

The shipper of potatoes must re-
member that they should not be load
ed close enough to the ceiling to block
circulation. There must be large
unobstructed opening for the warm air
to pass down to the floor after it has
spread the length of the ceiling from
| the heater. The circulation is slow
AMI labored and to limit it by piling
the sacks so they extend beyond the
false walls causes serious interference.
In placing the sacks on the false floor
next to the walls, care should be tax
en- INTO set them a few inches from
these partitions. since they are in the
region where the frost first becomes
effective if the car is not properly
heated.
1t is rec~ ,n;zed that preparation of
rcar in the manner indicated involves a
considerable initial expense. Usually.
however. shippers plan to use both the
lumber and the stove for repeated
ilipmnets. In the state of Maine the
cars are substantially equipped as
above and used by shippers repeatedly,
the rars being returned to het shrdht
the cars being returned to the starting
point free of charge to the shipper.
The general rule west of the Missis-
sipp1 is to permit the return of the
Innings and stoves by freight free Of
charge. In the other regions the usual
freight rate is charged. An effort is
now being made to have an arrange
ment similar to that existing in Maine
applicable throughout the country,
and where the car lining and stove are
| removed it has been recommended
that the railroad return them to the
shipper at one-half fourth class rate.

In the big battle which he wages
every winter to destrop portion Of
mankind's food stores, Jack Frost will
always find the careless shipper Of po-
tatoes an effective ally. Potatoes,
both sweet and white, are shipped to
market i'll large quantities throughout
the cold season and demand thorough
protection, since touch of frost rem
ders them practically worthless. While
the farmer is not directly responsible
for faulty shipping if he sells to a
dealer who does the loading, he is in a
better position to demand a square
deal if he knows how to protect the
winter consignment properly. If the
crop is being marketed on a commits
sion basis the grower is sure to suffer
the brunt Of the losses when the frost
gets in effective work.
The directions for preparing box
car for potato shipments given here
with are in accord with recommends
tons of Bureau of Markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, and
apply to winter shipments Of sweet po-
tatoes destined to northern points, as
well as to white potatoes.
Importance of Circulation
A stove will warm enough air to
protect car of potatoes from freezing
even in severe weather, providing the
car lining is built and kept in such
condition that the warm air can get
down to the floorand sides where it is
needed. To accomplish this a COM
plete air passage must be formed en-
tirely around the load When pota-
toes are loaded in bulk it is necessary
to construct what are i'll effect two
bins, one on either side of the central
area where the stove is placed, if the
shipment is likely to pass through Sc
we're weather. In many case. of course

it is possible to ship without any arti-
fetal heat i'll the car.
Before constructing the bins, the
walls and ceiling of the car itself must
be covered with building paper Fol
lowing this false floor is laid on sup
ports running lengthwise, thereby
creating air channels 4 to 6 inches
deep, extending beneath the false floor
from center of the car to either end
where they connect with vertical air
passages formed by false walls, 4
to 6 inches from the car ends. Like
wise, false walls are built few inches
from the sides and false door is
erected at one side for a stovepipe.
Bulkheads are put across the car at
either side of the door to form a well
for the stove. These walls, as well
as the center bulkhead, rise we'll to-
ward the ceiling. The bins are lined
with paper, the same as the car walls.
The false floor supports permit the
cool air to settle down below the false
floor and to move toward the base Of
stove where it rises as it is heated and
circulates toward the end of the car,
between the load and the ceiling.
Material Needed for Lining
A rough estimate of the paper and
lumber required to line an by SN
by Sc foot car with doors feet wide
is as follows: i,
Is pieces by inches by IA feet
long.
8 pieces by 6inches by Is feet
long.
1900 square feet of 1-inch lumber,
10 feet long.
1850 square feet of building paper.
The Is "two-by tours" should be
sawed in two, making 20 pieces ] feet
long. Six inches should be sawed off
the length of each of the eight by 3
inch pieces. Enough of the 10 foot
boards should be sawed into 8 foot
lengths to make total width of 81
feet of 8 inch boards. and other OF the
boards sawed into foot lengths to
make a total width of feet. This
will leave a few 4 foot lengths. One

10 foot boards. leaving them Is feet

required by All experienced loader to
