 missioner Declares in Address.
 New York, Dec. 20-The great question is obedience to law, or anarchy" rather than prohibition or not prohibition" declared John F.. Kramer, federal prohibition commis- sioner in an address today before the Lutheran Ministers association of New York.
 There is a disposition on the part of some people to disobey the law and to wink at the disobedience of the same," he said. Some of these people belong to the church"
 Whenever persons fail to uphold prohibition on the ground that they did not aid in its adoption and are not in favor of it's provisions now, he declared, they encourage others n evading some other law not to their particular liking.
 'The constitutional provision can never be modified" he asserted and added that it is now simply 8 ques- ton of obedience to law.

TRAP BEAVER AND OTTER on
HUMBOLDT RIVER AT ELKO

The high price of furs has stirred
up the small boys of Elko TO engage
IN trapping, and a number of them
have traps placed along the river
both above and below town, SAYS the
Elko Free Press. Since the law on
beaver has expired, the boys are de-
voting their efforts to secure one OF
these fur-bearing animals, as there
are many beaver on the Humboldt
some of them having their homes in
side the city limits. and many Slides
both beaver and otter, can be seen on
the banks. The first boy to make a
catch was Eber Steninger, the young
est son of Editor Steninger, who Sun
day brought home a big otter. found
in one of his traps down the river
In another trap he had caught bea-
yer, but he delayed a day in going
TO look at them, and the animal had
gnawed his leg off. cutting of the
bone just below the knee, leaving his
foot in the trap. The otter pelt
measures five feet from tip to tip.

WABUSKA SHELTER
REFUSED NEW RATE

The petition of the Mason Valley
Mines Company for reduced freight
rates on ores from Paxton, California
to the smelter at Wabuska, has been
denied. according to a notice received
by the public service commission
says the Carson City News.
The smelter company asked that a
rate of $425 per ton on $40 ore be
established in place of s1050 asked
at present. Extensive improvements
for he treatment of ores lad been
planned by the company in case ia
vorable action was taken.
j. F. Shaughnessy, chairman of the
Nevada public service commission,
who appeared at the hearings held
before a railroad administration COM
mittee at San Francisco some time
ago, has issued the following state
ment regarding the decision:
The establishment of the rates re-
quested is highly essential in order to
promote the conversion of the smelter
from a private mining to a custom
basis for the handling of low-grade
Nevada ores that can not be mined
and shipped to the Utah and Califor-
MIA smelters at present railroad rates
ranging from $500 and up per ton
Failure to receive the rates is. there
fore, a serious blow to Nevada. Such
action as the above has been the
practice of the railroads in the past
and is the real cause for so-ealled
Shreveport situations, wherein diff
ferent states through their legisla-
lures and commissions have, as last
resort, undertaken to cure such gross
inequalities as are illustrated in our
Wabuska smelter case by reducing
the rates within their borders to off
set the prejudically low interstate
rates maintained by the railroads tc
insure transportation hauls to ia
vored industrial centers.'

FALL0N OIL FIELD INVADED
By PROMINENT TEXAS MEN

According to the Churchill County
Eagle, prominent Texas oil people
have become interested in the Fallon
oil field and are quietly demonstrat-
ing their faith by the shipment of
seven carloads of machinery and oil
drilling equipment all of which is
now on the way. 1t is further stated
that the experienced drilling crews
of men are now in Reno, and just as
soon as the equipment is landed,
active operations will begin.
Needless to say, these successful
oil operators are not coming into this
field blindly but on the contrary it
is stated their experts have visited
the Fallon field and made reports TO
the oil capitalists who are back of
the movement.
Day by day these new evidences of
faith in the ultimate development of
oil in the Lahontan Valley ad adja-
cent hills is manifest Not only that,
but local people continue to demon
strate their faith by subscribing for
stock while it is going at the low
rates Indeed, it seems a good time
TO get in on the ground floor
