RABIES TAKE BIG TOLL

Seventeen cattle lost from rabies
is the record OF Merkley q Young
ranch company operating several
large ranches I'm Mound Valley. This
is according TO a statement made by
Sim Merkley who was an Elko Wis
itor yesterday. There Is no chance
to save the animals. They simply
fall down in their tracks and die"
said Mr.. Merkeley. They froth at
the mouth just the same as any 9TH

the worst of Il is that they mill
around among the other animals and
spread the froth over the hay that
other cattle eat. and thus. W. believe,

TONOPAH MINER GETS
WEALTH UNENPEs teddy

From machine operator in the
fonopah Extension at So a day TO a
gentleman of leisure ii he so de.
sires. with an income of $500 a day
is the lot that has befallen Joseph W
Hall, who has been a resident OF
Tonopah for the last three months.
says the Tonopah Times.
Mr.. Hall received word Thursday
that he had better return to La
Grande. California. where oil has
been struck OF land owned by him
that makes his royalties amount To
$500 a day. or $4,000 a month,
which means a total of $292 600 a
year.
Mr.. Halls good fortune came as a
surprise, and in view OF the fact that
the S00-barrel well was encountered
on his land and that his land is sup
posed to be the richest spot in the
district, his income will no doubt be
greatly augmented from time to
time as he grants additional leases
and more wells be brought in.
The lucky oil la left last night
for La Grande where he viii devote
his entire attention TO the oil bust
ness exclusively.

LAW NEEDED
IN NEVADA, SAYS FOWLER

In view of persistent reports thai
classes of foodstuffs in quantity have
been collected at various points i'll
this state and are being stored for the
purpose of realizing great profits
through anticipated greatly increased
prices, and mindful of reports that
such conditions actually do exist in
California and that there is no APP
parent legal remedy in the Golden
State. Attorney General Fowler Was
Intercepted as to laws relating 10
boarding in Neveda. He made the
following statement:
There is no statutory law in the
State of Nevada that covers a situa-
ton which arises form the boarding
of food, or the entering into combi-
nations, with the object in view of
determining what prices are 10 be.
This is something that has been
sadly overlooked by the legislators
of this state, and prosecuting attor-
neys are, therefore. placed in a po-
sition where they canpont give relief
TO the people.
1T is very important that we
should have legislation on this sub
jet because there are many cases
that cannot be brought within the
jurisdiction of the federal courts, fer
the reason that there is no infringe
ment upon any law relating TO inter
state commerce or any other act OF
congress that relates to manipulation
in the necessities of life.
AT the 1919 session of the Nevada
legislature, an excellent act was in
troduced by Assemblyman Gregory
of Washoe County. 1t passed the as
sembly but was defeated in the SEN
ate. A powerful lobby worked Wig
orously TO defeat this measure, which
should have been enacted as a law
