NEARLY 800 TONS Of
|. UMAT|LLA COUNTY HAY
IS SHIPPED TO EAST
This is 4th Atlantic Coast Ship
ment at Prices Averaging
More Than So Above Local.

Nearly 800 tons of hay grown by the
Oregon Hay Growers Association,
made up of growers of Umatilla and
Morrow counties, was shipped yester-
day on the Mexican, to various dealers
of New York.
This is the fourth Atlantic coast
shipment, at prices averaging more
! than 50 above the local offer. and n
survey of the Atlantic coast market
indicates an opening for at least 10000
tons of hay. A prospect of a reduc-
tion in boat rates will undoubtedly
stimulate the market either in demand
or price.
Last year the Associated Hay
lGrowers made the first organized ef-
fort to sell hay in western Canada.
At that time the trade there was un.
familiar with oregon and Washington
lhay. and hesitated to handle it. This
year the same firms are anxious for
this hay and statements from six of
these firms say that they will handle
at least fifteen thousand tons. There
lis, altogether, prospect for an outlet of
labout twenty-five thousand tons on
the western Canada market.
One popularity of this market is
: that tho hay will be sold almost en-
, tirely to farmers cooperative con-
! Germs. These organizations have
: been operating for several years and
7 are so well established that they have
, practically taken over the government
of Alberta province.
The Canadian shipments will large.
lly be handled out of Yakima Valley
= and high percentage of the Atlantic
shipping will come from Oregon
members.
Special arrangements have beef
r made through the Port of Portland
and dock commission to facilitate tn
handling of this hay. Until requested
1 by the Associated Hay Growers no ha,
was ever permitted to be stored in thi
warehouse.
/ The hay growers feel they would b
! justified in exporting this hay if the
received only the local quotation, bu
since all exports of hay are bringing
premium they naturally are playing u
to this market.

FAMILY TROUBLES
KEEP ElK0 INTEREST

Mike Connell, an eighty-year-old
groom who married Mrs, Massey in
California just short time ago, has
separated from his bride and has gone
back to live with with Mr.. and Mrs.
Carl Gilberg, with whom he lived be-
for his marriage. There are all sorts
OF rumors floating about the streets
about this family row, the affair Great
ing more interest than any case which
has happened since the old man was
rescued from a former spouse who
was trying to kill the husband with
slow poison, and for which the wife
and her lover were sent to the state
penitentiary, says the Elko Free
Press.
When Mike and his wife returned
from California they sought to eject
Gilberg from the home he was living
in, but he refused to go and the case
was taken to court We understand
that Mike has dismissed the case and
has gone back to live with the fami-
ly of Gilberg.
A trust deed was filed Monday in
the county recorders office by Mike
Connell, transferring to John Hender-
son, the property next to the Guaran-
tee Trust building, but another deed
was filed previous to this, dated Nov
ember 81. 1920, where Mike Connell
transferred this property in its entire
ty to his wife. A few days ago
they bought the Sheriff Harris proper
ty for $4,000 paying cash and this
deed is on record, where each owns a
half interest
The husband has stopped all credit
at the stores to his wife, who claims
that certain people are using unfair
influences in keeping her husband
away from her. Connell is supposed
to be worth about $50.000. and made
his money by stockraising in the
northern part of Elko county The
matter will no doubt be aired in the
courts in the near future.

VOTERS DECIDE To
BUY WATER WORKS

BY the voice of the majority of vo-
iers yesterday at the special city
election. Elko took a long step for
ward and placed the city in the ranks
of the progressive towns. when they
voted to purchase the water system
by decided majority.
There were 227 names on the regis
ter list, taxpayers who were entitled
to vote, and of this number 205 went
to the polls and registered their
choice. lis voting in favor and 90
against.
The question submitted was for the
issuance of bonds of $1S0,O00 of
which $150,000 was to be paid for the
water system and lands and the re-
naming $4,000 to be placed In
fund for the development of addition
al water.
At this election none but tax pay
ing voters had the right to vote, and
considerable dissatisfaction has
arisen over this provision contained
in the city charter. 1t was not the
intention of the men who drew up this
charter that this rule should apply
in city elections, but due to an over
sight two words crept in, which could
not be construed otherwise. The city
council has called meeting for next
Saturday night in the justice of peace
office in the basement of the court
house, when the matter of amending
the charter will be taken up and the
legislature will be asked to make the
correction, together with that of the
city attending to its own elections.
AS II now stands all city elections are
in the hands of the county officials,
and the legislature will be asked to
amend the charter SO that the city can
look after its own elections.
The city has an opportunity now to
make Elko the best city in the state.
With the lands acquired by the pur-
chase of the water systems, we can es-
tablish a county fair grounds, city
park, public play ground. an
aviation field and public camping
ground But the first thing is the
Development of more water. There is
absolutely no doubt in the minds OF
those favoring the bond issue. but an
ample supply. up to three million
gallons of water daily can be develop
ed by wells east of town. As soon as
spring comes test wells will be driven
to locate the old river channels, and
the engineers tell us that before sum
mer the wells will be driven and wa
ter secured.
Now that the election is a thing of
the past. that the majority have spok-
en-, let us all get together, lay aside
our personal feelings, put our shoul-
ders to the wheel and get the things
Elko needs so badly.-Elko Free

DESPERATE ESCAPE
CAUGHT NEAR HERE

Completing chase of forty days,
during which the trail took them
through four states, Oregon, Idaho,
Utah and Nevada. Pat Marrinan of
Boise. special agent for the depart
ment OF justiee. and Robert Gibson,
special agent of the Oregon state PEN
itentiary at Salem, finally captured
Chester Harness, alias Alvin Christ,
who escaped from the Oregon prison
and is wanted In a government land
fraud case as witness.
Harness was formerly an evangelist
engaged in evangelical work around
Wallula and Alfalfa. Washington. He
was born in Kentucky and there was
educated for the ministry. He has a
splendid personality and is a good
conyersationalist, and readily gains
confidence of those with whom he
comes in contact. He is alleged to be
dangerous man, heavily armed. with
long Iist of crimes to his credit
which have not been related because
of his wife and baby.
The particular crime for which
Harness was sent to the penitentiary
was burglary. he having robbed a
man in Vale, Oregon, of $2700. He is
now a federal prisoner because he
is wanted as witness in a land
fraud case set for trial in Portland
on January "a.
Harness escaped from the Oregon
prison last April. at which time he
was twenty-eight years old, according
to prison records. In prison he was
trusty and made his escape while
employed at wood camp some dis
tance from Salem. The officers first
picked up his trail December /, at the
Lower-Hole-in-the ranch, on
the Owyhee river in Malheur Oregon,
not far over the state line north Of
Winnemucca. Again it was picked up
at the mouth of Succor Creek in Idaho
and lead into Jordan Valley, Oregon
From Jordan Valley Harness went to
the See ranch in the Juniper Noun
tains. cutting across through the pass
to Paradise Valley. The officers were
unable to make the trip through The
Juniper Mountains and were forced to
come around by way of Elko.
1t was in Winnemucca that they
learned Harness was on the Lower
Clover Creek ranch, owner by J. @.
Taylor, in Glover Valley. forty-two
miles west of this city on the Western
Pacific. Here they secured help from
Sheriff Brady and Deputy Sheriff Vic
tor Pinson. and Pinson accompanied
them to the ranch and helped to effect
the capture. Marrinan has nothing
but compliments for the two local Off
GERS for their connection in the case
Harness will be remembered at Red
House because he left his horse and
outfit there in an effort to elude
pursuit

CHAMBER MEETING
WAS BIG SUCCESS

Enthusiasm and determination to
get something done" was manifested
by forty men who attended the Cham
Der of Commerce meeting held in
Winneva hall last night. Taking up
most of the session was consideration
of the newly written bylaws. These
make a lengthy volume. Salient
changes are that the dues are reduced
to $12 per year. with an admission fee
OF IS for all business and professional
men. Salary earners are not required
to pay this admission fee, but become
members upon payment of 81 each
month as dues. The dues were for
merly ~ per month, with IS admis-
sion fee for ALL and this is one Of the
points that caused dissention in the
old organization. Under the new by
laws clergymen are admitted as men,
bers without payment of dues.
Another point in the new bylaws
which is calculated TO enforce attend
ance at meetings. a matter which has
proved irksome to those in charge OF
affairs, is that the absence of any
member for three successive meetings
acts automatically as a resignation.
Presumably for out-of-town members,
however, this phase is left tot he dis
erection of the board Of directors.
Far greater success than was anti
cipated was reported by the commit
tee designated to call upon business
men for monthly subscriptions for the
upkeep of the chamber. This COM
mittee found there are forty-eight
business houses in town and reported
that every one of these so far called
upon had subscribed as much or more
than was suggested, the bulk being
entered on the list at $40 per month.
From this source the committee ex-
poets monthly income for the cham
ber OF probably s34O. added to which
amount are many individual member
ships. These are expected to bring
Winnemucca's contribution for the
success OF the organization up to s400,
and 1t was thought 5000 should be
raised each months is other portions
OF hte county. This would make
monthly income of $500 for a starter.
On this committee are Messrs. Thor
sen, Bosch and Stephenson, and their
report drew forth the heartiest ap-
plause of the evening
A mix-up had occurred in the COM
mittee on headquarters and .or this
reason more time was allowed for re-
port. 1t is the intention of tie cham
ber to establish a permanent meeting
place. furnished along lines Of olub
room. where visitors TO Ibis city may
rest and mingle with members. II is
to be for both ladies ani gentlemen
and will take form as sort of civic
center. Three buildings were taken
into consideration. the building In
which the postoffice is aaS located at
Fourth and Baud street. the store
room in the Nofsinger building now
used by the Western United Tele-
graph Company. and the ballroom IF
Winneva hall. The matter narrowed
down to the Nofsinger building and
Winneva hall in an effort to get the
matter closed last night. but a lively
difference of opinion was manifested
and the matter put over for further
report of the committee.
Adjournment was taken until next
Wednesday night. when the chamber
will again meet in Winneva hall.
