PREPARE FOR TRAPPING

Reno Journal: Preparations are
now being made by a number of trap
pers in this vicinity for Fall and Win
ter trapping in the mountains and
valleys of the State. Indications point
t. an unusually good trapping season,
reports from eastern and southern
Nevada, indicating that fur-bearing
animals have been more prolific this
year than for many years past. All
indications also point to a continu-
ance of the high prices paid for peits
by fur dealers. Plans are being made
by several parties to include rabbits
in the list of fur-bearing animals that
will be sought this year. Heretofore,
rabbits have been regarded with
scorn but since the scarcity OF fur,
due to the great demand, rabbit hides
have been commanding from five to
ten cents apiece, and when sold In
large quantities will yield no incon-
siderable revenue.

after the car down the shaft. The

TWO c A R
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL

Two inmates of the Elko Industrial
school made their escape Wednesday
night by crawling through the WIN
dow Of the lavatory. One OF them
Joseph Bell. is a desperate character
the associate of l.. w. Fristoe, now
serving a life sentence for the muir
der Of Deputy Sheriff Arthur Requa
and Constable Arthur st. Clair last
February. The other is young leo
Whitmore, sent to the Industrial
school from Reno. He is believed 10
be a deserter from the navy.
The escape was effected in the dead
of night. No trace of the boys have
been found and a general alarm has
been sent out for their apprehension.
Governor Boyle has been notifed oil
the escape of young Bell, who was
sent to the Industrial school and Civ

many believed that he should have
been sent to the ~penitentiary with
Fristoe.
Young Bell is the son Of a Metho'
dist minister. His home is in For'
Morgan, Colorado, but 1t is not be
lieved that he will try to reach his
home. Word has been sent there al

RESERVOIR PROPOSED ON
TRUCKER RIVER, NEVADA

In order to afford relief for the
ranchers and water users of western
Nevada, who are dependent on
Lake Tahoe storage, and to make
possible the irrigation of at least 50,-
900 additional acres of land in that
section of the State, Governor Boyle
and State Engineer Scrugham have
proposed to the irrigation service the
construction OF a large storage res
ervoir lea Reno to be used for the
storage of flood waters of the Truckee
river that are now going to waste
each Spring and Winter.
1t is estimated that such a reser-
voir and canal would cost $4,000 900,
one-half Of which 1t Is proposed shall
be paid by the State, and the other
half by the Federal government. all
of which would be paid back by the
present users of the water and the
new settlers Of the reclaimed land.
The irrigation service has indicated a
favorable attitude toward the pro-
posed reservoir, but has not yet given
any assurance as to the money the
Government would advance In coop
Grafton with the State.

To TRAP WILD r

A party of four men, John A. Pat
terson, Mike Davis, r. P. Parke and
S. NJ. Small. all old hunters, left Reno
Monday for ranges In Humboldt
County to capture some Of the many
wild horses now reported roaming In
Humboldt and Pershing Counties.
The men plan to use Winnemucca as
a base for operations, starting out
from that city and returning every
week with the skins and to secure
new supplies. The hunting will be
done from an automobile. as much as
possible. This will be the first time
in several years that a hunting party
has set out after the horses. Present
records show that only two licenses
have been issued In the past three
years for the purpose. During this
time the horses have been practically
unmolested and have greatly in
creased in number. 1t is planned to
bring choice portions OF the carcass
In for market. but the principal rev.
enue will be derived from the hides.

SUFFRAGE RIUMPHs

Tennessee has ratified the Susan B.
Anthony amendment to the constftu-
ton Of the United States, and all
American women possessing the C
essary qualifications will have the
right to vote for President mex No
vember. The ants made a bitter
fight against ratification. but the vote
in the House showed a majority OF
two for the s~uffragists. There were
forty-nine votes for the amendment
and forty-seven against. Then Speak
er Walker changed his vote from nay
to aye and the score stood fifty to
~forty-six. The purpose of Speaker
Walker is to move for reconsideration
and he will probably take such action
within the next few days. 1t is not
believed, however, that the verdict
will be reversed.
The leaders of both the great po-
litical parties will now go after the
votes of the newly enfranchised wo-
men. 1t is certain that a great ma
jority of them will vote for Harding
or for Cox, but so far as the adoption
of the amendment is concerned, the
women are under no obligations to
support either the Republican or
Democratic candidate. They will
take an active part in the campaign
without doubt, but it is foolish to sup
pose that they car be herded to the
polls.
After battling for their rights for
more than half a century, the women
of the United States have won a great
victory. What they will do with 1t is
a question for the future to decide.

NIAGARA FALLS

II you can imagine a river three
fourths of a mile wide, 20 feet deep
in the middle, and containing thou
sands of tons of water, suddenly
tumbling over a cliff 100 feet high
dashing on the rocks below with a
deafening roar and throwing up huge
clouds of mist and spray, you have
some impression OF what Niagara
Falls, the worlds best known and
most popular waterfall, is like.
This majestic cataract is situated
in the Niagara river, between Lake
Erie and Lake Ontario and near the
city OF Buffalo, N. Y. Ny-ah-ga-rah
is an Indian word, meaning Thunder
ing Waters. Members of the Seneca
tribe tbs said. considered the roar Of
the falls as the voice of the Great
Spirit. Thinking he inhabited the
spray, they made many and various
offerings to this deity.
The waterfall divides itself into two
parts, American Falls and the Horse
shoe or Canadian Falls. Nine-tenths
of the flow, which is estimated to be
100000 tons per minute, passes over
the Horseshoe Falls, which is by far
the more impressive OF the two.
Below the falls the river is consid-
erably narrower than 1t is above the
falls, and the water rushes, at a
frightful speed, through a seven-mile-
long gorge, in which is located the
famous Whirlpool Rapids.
The edge of the cliff over which the
water plunges into the canyon below.
wears away at the rate of about five
feet a year. Biologists declare that
this mighty fall has been In opera
ton for about 10000 years.

HIGHER NEVADA RATES
MAY Be DENIED
Nevada Public Service Commits
sion Likely To Turn Down
Carriers Petition

A Carson dispatch to the Reno
Gazette says: While the members Of
the Nevada Public Service Commits
sion decline to make any statement
in advance of their decision upon the
petition of the railroad companies
for higher ~intrastate freight and pas
senger rates, il is believed that the
commission will deny the request OF
the petitions filed by the various car
riers. IL this is done Nevada will
probably be the first State in the I'm
ion to refuse to carry out the recon-
mendations Of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the matter OF
horizontal rate increases.
Also IL the Nevada commission
takes such a position 1t will be, ac-
cording to reports, upon the ground
that the Nevada commission, being
the creature of the Nevada Legisla-
ture, is o bound by any alleged
mandate form Congress contained in
the Esch-Cummins bill, but to the
State which created it; and further
more that the statutes of Nevada do
not authorize blanket" or horizon
tall rate increases, but provide that
changes in intrastate rates may only
be made after a full investigation OF
the rate applying to any class or COM
modify, together with the reasonable
ness of the charge.
II this position is taken by the Ne
vada commission II will probably de-
ny the petitions filed by the carriers
operating In this State and direct
them to file with II new tariffs carry
ing the specific increases which they
request and then provide for hear
ings upon the entire matter.
Railroads Anticipate Refusal
Although no member of the com.
mission would make any statement as
to the attitude of its members 1t Is
known that several of the railroad
representatives who were at Carson
left with the belief that Nevada
would decline to authorize blanket
increases corresponding to those re
Gently made applicable to interstate
rates by the Interstate Commerce
Commission. When the hearing
closed the railroad representatives
were advised that a decision would
be rendered by August 26, as 1t was
deemed advisable not only by the
railroads but by the shippers and the
commission that a finding should be
returned at the earliest moment pos
sible.

H WINE GRAPE

A year ago Wlne-Brape W Oh
California were bemoaning the fate
that visited prohibition upon them.
They foresaw stark ruin for their in
dustry, and several vineyardists up
rooted their stands of wine-grape
stocks and replaced them with other
varieties of grapes.
1t now develops that, instead of be-
ing ruinous to the wine-grape grow
ers, prohibition has actually become
a great blessing, for never before IL
the history of grape culture has there
been such a demand for the wine
grape. Prices have scared to I'M
precedented heights and there is fear
of a shortage.
The explanation, according to
growers and brokers, is the present
Interpretation of that paragraph in
the volstead act which permits people
to have Misunderstanding" fruit juices
elders In their homes. The term mon
intoxicating" is taken to mean mon
intoxicating" in fact, and not g
ured by the permissible alcoholic
content prescribed by the law.
Certain combinations of grape
juices and raisins are said to produce
remarkable results In the way of es-
tablishing a kick" 1t is not strange,
therefore, that there should be a
brisk demand both for the grape
from which the juice is derived, but
also for the grape that imparts the
punch" The grape growers, o n
sequently, have the consumers both
coming and going"
Owing to the great demand, the
grape market is in a chaotic condi-
ton, according to the California Grape
Growers exchange, with eastern and
California buyers outbidding one an
other for the new seaso crop. Max
ed wine grapes are bringing $65 to
500 a ton and as high as $3.50 boxed
ready for shipment. Edgar M. Shee-
han, president of the exchange, is
quoted as saying:
THE demand for wine grapes Is
greater in all directions. 1t appears
there will be more juice made than
before. Dealing for the coming crop
is at a high stage, with local buyers
spurred to bidding up to the prices
offered by eastern representatives.
Prices originally set by the exchange
were boosted by the eastern buyers,
WIN arc VOL dCtAtCs fOi o AAAC
cal brokers SHE'D at the prices, but
have come to meet the figures offered
by outside competitors"
Among California brokers 1t is
feared that the unusual demand for
grapes for shipment may cause a
shortage in the raisin output, but Mr..
Sheehan predicts that the raisin pro-
duction will be normal.
Demand for unfermented grape
juices and raisins seems to be going
hand in hand, according to San Fran
cisco retailers, who say that the pro-
ducers of mon" beverages are work
ing their plants to full capacity to
keep up with the market.
This strange correlated demand, "
remarks the San Francisco Chronicle,
sis said to be due to the discovery by
citizens of an experimenting turn of
mind that a raisin or two associated
for a brief period in the warmth of
the sun with the juice of the vine will,
in some peculiar manner. add to the
gayety of the beverage"
Wherefore: II wine-grape grow
ers get twice as much for their grapes
under prohibition as they did under
liberty" why should they worry?
