LAST GOVERNMENT WOOL SALE
AT BOSTON DISAPPOINTING

The last government wool sale for
January, held at Boston, proved to be
somewhat of a disappointment. the
sale being featured by large number
of Withdrawals. Out of the 2,400.00o
pounds of secured wool offered to tho
trade, fully twenty-five per cent were
withdrawn, and with few exceptions
prices received were barely above the
government minimum.
Because of the poor grades of wool
offered, very little interest was mani
tested, as the demand for these classes
at the present time rules slow. A few
lots of fine Cape wool. however, were
keenly sought for, and prices which
the government received were very
satisfactory.
The highest price paid on Saturday
was for 1927 pounds of Cape wool,
which was disposed of at $1.37 a
pound.
The principal buyers at the sale
were L. b. Harding & Co, w. w. Win
die & Co., and w. G. Davidson & Co
Very few purchases were made by the
mills.

TWO SITES FOR DAM
ARE RECOMMENDED

The report of the state and govern
ment engineers favors a reservoir on
the South Fork of the Humboldt river,
and a reporter for the Elko Free
Press has learned the following
facts
There are two splendid sites for
dams, natural sites that with a min
imum amount of work will conserve
the food waters of the South Fork,
one site having a capacity of $4,000
acre feet, and the other one more than
10000 acre feet of water.
The first named site is located at
the very head of what is known as
the South Fork canyon, at the foot
of the old Reinhart ranch. Here the
walls of the canyon narrows and is
probably 100 feet deep. A dam at this
point would back the water up to the
Reinhart ranch buildings and extend
over the entire valley.
The other dam site is located fur
ther down the canyon, just below
what is known as the old Capriola
ranch. This site some years ago,
when Buckhorn was first discovered,
was taken up by George Wingfeld,
who had it surveyed with the inten-
ton of installing an electric plant to
furnish juice for the Buckhorn mills.
But when it was found that the Buck
horn mines would not pay, the site
was abandoned If this dam is built
it will back the water up the South
Fork Valley almost as ia ras the site
mentioned above, and in addition will
conserve more than three times the
volume of water, covering all the
ranches between the dam and the
upper Reinhart ranch.
1t is the plan of the government to
straighten out the river channel
through the Battle Mountain basin,
and by so doing will be able to give
the water users lower down the val
ley a constant flow of water that now
goes to waste in the Battle Mountain
basin.
But first of all the government in
sists that the water of the Humboldt
river must be adjudicated, and the
work is now going on. Deputy State
Engineer Mcbride has been spending
all his time lately on the Lamoille
and Starr Valley water, and it is un
derstood the adjudication is well un-
der way and unless something unfor-
seen happens. it will shortly be closed.
1t is to the interest of every water
user on the Humboldt tributaries to
do his part in Fastening the adjudi-
cation, so that the government will
step in and build these dam sites and
reservoirs.

While making a bed yesterday

titic after became unconscious, from
which condition she never rallied.

Of Winnemucca, having come here as
a young bride in 1874. and spent all
the remaining years here, rearing a
large family and occupying an inn
Lortant place in the social. lodge and
hone-life affairs of the community all
thi ough that time. Her home was al
ways a delightful place to go for a
large circle of friends, and for the
friends of her large family of children.
She was known for her great devotion
10 her family, and Tor hospitality TO
all who entered her doors. Back as
far as the oldest inhabitants can re-
member her expert knowledge and
loving hands have contributed to the
success of innumerable social func-
tions where the art of rare cookery
was called for.
She was the mother of seven boys
and one girl, the daughter being Mrs.
Eva Mills, who recently went to Min
den to reside, and the sons being Shep
of ST. Louis, Chauncey of Arizona.
Fred of Wyoming, and Ralph, Lee,

her and her family was the little
grandson, Phil Kenyon.
Mrs. Case was native of Southern
California-born at Santa Barbara, il

63 years of age the 9th of January.
She was a descendant of the Ortega
family. a once famous and powerful
family of the earliest days of Cali
fornia. Her maiden name was Twist
but her mothers name was Ortega
and Mrs. Case spent her girlhood days
in Santa Barbara, and was familiar
with much of the earlier history OF
that section of California from per-
sonal knowledge. When in the mood
she could entertain friends for hours

HOMELESS
 CHILDREN ANXIOUS
 FOR ADOPTION HERE

Americas interest in the welfare of children is ever earnest and sincere. so 1t is safe to predict that the ap- peal being made on behalf of the suf- fering little children of Europe will meet with overwhelming response, and I am sure Phoenix will do her part" said one of the officials of the Ari- zona Children's Home association the other day.
 Here is an organization" it was added, which has gone along quietly in its mission-child welfare work accomplishing an amazing amount of good on d rather severely limited in- come.
 It is doubtful whether one-half of the state knows that such an organi- zation exists, so modestly have those directly interested gone about their work of providing shelter. clothing. food and permanent. happy homes for every so many children to whem fate has been unkind.
 Now that interest in unfortunate children is being so keenly aroused. it is not amiss to at least take pass ing note of Arizona's efforts to make lfe's burdens less onerous for it's des- titute children
 The Arizona Children's Home as sociation is an outgrowth of the Wom- ans Council of Missions of the Prot estant Churches of Tucson, and had It's birth about i've years ago. The association is incorporated under the laws of Arizona. It's efforts are not confined exclusively to Tucson, but embrace the entire state.
 It's records show that it's merciful arm has extended to many communi- ties, and that in it's brief career it has taken care of approximately 300 waifs and orphans from different parts of the state. At the present time there are 2S youngsters in the rather crowded quarters of the home in North Fifth street. Tucson.
 Eleven bright youngsters, from to 12 years of age, that may be adopted are now among the 2S children in the care of the home.
 The present home is wholly made quate to the needs of this great and worthy charity-lack of space well as limited funds, prevent the expan- sion of the associations efforts.
 Thanks to Miss Attix of Tucson. who presented to the association 40 delightful located city lots on south side of the city, a building site is cer- tainty. but a building ample to meet all demands for some years to come will cost about s30, 900. but up to date the associations building funds are rather slender. comprising only S2 100
