 ly wheel path. Prior to the accident the automobile did not exceed 80 mles an hour and at the time of the accident it must have been consid- erably less, as some of the disinter- ested witnesses testified. The auto mobile did not come in contact with either of the children untl it cap szed, and had the children stopped and not continued their running be- side of the automobile they would have escaped being injured. Had MT. Page driven his car without turn ing it abruptly to the rght, almost at right angles with the highway, he would have run over both of the children. Said deceased's death was caused by said injury, hemorr- haze and shock.
 I am of the opinion and find from inquiry and inquest that the said Diana Browns death was caused as aforesaid, and was violent and xn- timely, but was not caused by the criminal act, omission or careless ness of the said Henry E. Page.

Ruckwheat in Europe.

In some part of continental Europe buckwheat is a common crop, espe- cially in northeastern Germany and fin Brittany, France.a In these districts the soil is rather poor, but in such soil buckwheat will thrive. When used as human food in these countries, the flour is usually made into a pottage. In England buckwheat is little grown except as food for pheasants.

OIL LEASING BILL

FALLON, New, March 22.-When

about 100000 acres within the limits
of what is known as the Fallon oil

A very large portion of this land was
taken up after October / and by the
wording of the bill some were in

that were drilling felt secure, but 1t
left about thirty-three others in doubt

RANCHERS WORKING
: TO POISON RODENTS

AS an experiment to determine the
lasting effect of an intensive cam
paign against rodent pests. to be con-
Quoted under direct government
supervision, the United States bio
logical survey of this district has
selected 30,0O0-acre area, in north
ern Elko county as the battle ground
for its first drive of this character.
According to E. r. Sans, inspector
in charge of the bureau, three tons
of poisoned grain have been shipped
to Metropolis. These munitions will
be used in accordance with the judg-
ment of Edward Tallman, bureau
inspector and expert in the eradi-
cation of rodent pests, who has been
placed in charge of the campaign.
The effort to clean out this large
area is strictly a community enter
prise. BY mutual consent of the
farmers and others interested in the
welfare of the district, the funds to
cover the expense of the work will be
ten cents an acre for cultivated
land and five cents an acre for un-
cultivated land of which the rail-
road company owns no small part.
The government, itself, is in pos
session of about 1000 acres in the af-
fected region in which operations are
confined almost entirely to dry farm
ing. This form of agriculture has
been very successful in that section,
but at times the rodent invasion has
been of such a malignant nature in
dry seasons as to absolutely wipe out
! fine fat wheat crops of five or more
sacks of grain to the acre, and in this
| brief period of three weeks.
Although the government, through
the biological survey, had at all times
assisted and co-operated with the
| farmers in the war on rodent pests,
| it has never before undertaken the
actual work on large scale such
as this. The job will determine
whether the campaign will provide
more than mere temporary relief or
whether it will be necessary, as in
years past, to repeat the operation
annually.
The land will be subjected to an in
| itial and follow treatments so that
when the government experts are
through there will no longer remain
a trace of the enemy. The funds to
be raised by the assessment plan will
practically all be used for the pay
ment of labor.
So great has been the demand for
poisoned grain this year that the
original supply of thirty tons mixed
at the old army barracks at the uni
versity at Reno has been exhausted
and supplemental supply of ten
tons is now being prepared. 1t was
necessary to work night and day to
keep ahead of the demand and now
the government plans to maintain a
surplus of not less than five tons at
all times.

through L. n. Stidd, whereby the
residence property of Mrs. Minor at
McDermitt passed into the hands of
Robert Anderson of that place.
small percentage at time. With his
printers bill, however, it is different
He remembers what he paid for en-
velopes, let us say, three years ago.
When he gets his bill today and finds
it double what he paid before, there
is trouble right away.
The man forgets he is now paying
three times as much for his clothes
as he did when he bought that printed
stuff; that he is paying three times
as much for his sugar, and perhaps
three times as much for his meat.
These advances have been gradual.
The printers increased price comes
all in a bunch to the customer-and
he doesn't like it. The printer is
charging too much. But, however
it seems, the fact remains that the
printer is not charging enough. He
has not the courage to advance prices
as rapidly as they have been shot W
for him. He has not advanced prices
proportionately with other lines. He
must do it, or go out of business.
Perhaps the most serious problem
of all for the country publisher is
the advertiser who refuses to let his
advertising bill go up in proportion
to other expenses of doing business
The small advertiser often reduces
his space when rates are advanced
and this causes timidity on the part
of the small publisher. However
this seems a dilemma with but one
horn to seize, for rates must be ad-
yanced. In cities where advertising
is a business by itself, this fact is
recognized and there is no more
trouble than in other lines.
1t is safe to say that, compared
with costs of production, newspaper
is the cheapest thing the public il
buying today. And publishers-par-
ticularly country publishers-mus
beware lest the trouble of advancing
rates induce them to invite disaster
