This opened up a discussion as to

ception that II game in such reiuges

that if the state did lot take some

pate the establishment OF FEDERAL
game preserves administered from
Washington and the usual difficulty
Of proper consideration OF local needs
and conditions in such long-distance
administration.
At the closing of the session Sec
rotary Metcalf reviewed the big
change for the better in the livestock
industry which has developed during
the last two or three months, largely
as a result of the provision for the
financing of those engaged In that
industry under the war finance cor
poration loan act, which made avail
able a billion dollars for loans TO
stockmen under certain rules rs TO
security, etc. In this connection he
pointed to the great stimulation in
demand for livestock which has oc-
Cured during the last fall and The
consequent increase in prices, saving
that according to competent judg-
ment the value of sheep and cattle In
Nevada has increased at least three
million dollars.
It was interesting in this connec-
ton to learn that in his opinion this
result has come. to a great degree.
from the confidence which has been
restored as a result of the knowledge
on the part OF stockmen, %ranchers,
bankers and buyers that the financial
situation was rapidly %loosening up
and that tracing back the action
which the state organization took in
this matter he was inclined to base
most of the credit for the big change
which has occurred for the better 10
newspaper publicity, secured by the
organization in cooperation with Ne
vada newspapers.
In justification of this statement lie
pointed out that prices rose from n
stimulated demand before any money
had come into Nevada from govern
ment sources: that the change. IN his
opinion. must be credited largely to
two newspaper articles prepared by
the state association and carried by
the Nevada press generally in its eff
forts to promote the welfare OF this
important industry.

RANCHERS
ESCAPE PUNISHMENT

Matt Hogan and Joe Blatnicll, were
tried and acquitted in the district
court last Wednesday on II charge OF
Larceny.
The case grew out of the killing OF
La ~2-year-old heifer, the property OF
Dmitar Dragosayic, who resides in the
immediate neighborhood with Hogan
in the Dothwick district.
The jury was selected in record
| time. When the first twelve men
were called 10 the box Counsellor Ju-
rich, representing the defendants. an
nounced his Willingness 10 accept the
Jury as Ii stood and without examina-
ton. Two were excused by the state
but the defense seemed satisfied with
each mar rs called and the selection
of the twelve to try the case was
made in about ten minutes and was
as follows:

and the man went into the Hogan
house. A short time later, according
to their testimony. two men came
from the Hogan house and shot the
animal.
The defendants did not deny the

fallen and so badly injured itself that
1t was unable to walk. The defend
ants killed the animal to put il out of
its misery and were later willing TO
settle with the owners for IL.
The matter of a settlement seemed
TO play an important part. as IL was
brought out by the defense that ne.
gotiations were under way before the
arrest of the defendants and when the
complainant did not get all he asked
for he caused the arrests TO be made.
1t appears that Dragosavic had de-
manded $3.50 and a COW which Hogan
claimed TO be his best eow and one in
a herd that was under mortgage. He
said he had offered $3.50 and two
heifers but this failed to satisfy Drag
osavic.

James E.. Scott, national forest in
spector from the forest service head
quarters at Ogden, Utah, who has
been in Ely this week in attendance
upon the stockgrowers' convention.
presided at a meeting of the force of
the Nevada national forest, held in
Supervisor McQueen's Office Friday.
Forest Rangers Graham S. Quate,
George E. Moore, G. c. Townsend
and Lloyd Robinson were in attend
ance, also Miss Jones, clerk in the
local forest office, and Miss NJ. E.
Jensen, forest clerk for the Cache
national forest at Logan, Utah, who
has been visiting in Ely with her Sis
ter, Mrs. Mcqueen.
Mr.. Scott is in charge of that
branch Of forest service activities the
function of which is the promotion OF
forest utilization to the limit consist
ent with sound, conservative policies,
the fire prevention work on the ma
ticnal forests and the general educa-
tional activities of the organization.
The forest service thoroughly real
izess, said Mr.. Scott, that hearty CO.
operation on the part of the general
public in the west is essential to a
full of progress in the varied
WOTk Ol llt OI6dlii1utlOHs SoSh "
operation has already materially as
sisted in the development of the now
generally accepted policies of the SER
vice and in the opinion of service
leaders will aid much more in the flu
ture in such activities as elimination
of "man-made" fires from the forests,
promotion of the best practices in
range utilization and the development
of sound forestry policies for the ma
tion as a whole.
Il represent" said Mr.. Scott to
the News reporter Friday evening,
lone of those forty governmental
agencies referred to Thursday by Sec
rotary Metcalf as affecting directly
the welfare of the farmer and stock
grower of this region. Speaking for
my organization, there is nothing We
appreciate more than the active CO.
operation which the farmers and
stockgrowers have given us in recent
years, and our earnest hope Is that
the activities of forest users organ-
izations will be extended to a point
where the local supervisor, the dis
trict headquarters and the forester at
Washington will have at all times
the hearty cooperation and
advice of the forest users, speaking
nrOue their local, state and nation
al organizations. Without any desire
to pass to the public the responsible
ity which is ours in protecting and
administering the affairs of the ma
tional forests, we court said Mr..
Scott. the fullest obtainable meas
ure of democracy in that administra-
ton. Full cooperation must be based
On complete information and the SER
vice, particularly the branch of pub
lie relations, is not only willing but
to give the general public
full information concerning the for
ests, their tremendous resources, the
possibilities for further utilization
and the work Of the service organiza-

ROBINSON CANYON JOB
SOON TO Be UNDER WAY

County Commissioner +. III. Clark
returned from Reno and Carson City
last Tuesday night after having spent
some time in consultation with tho
state highway officials concerning the
important bodybuilding which will
soon be commenced in Robinson can
yon.
Mr.. Clark says there is no question
but that the work will be started
within a short space OF time. {. S.
Durkee, engineer for the state high
way department, who will have
charge OF the work. Is expected to ar
rive in Ely any day and 1t Is morally
certain that he will be here the CON-
ing week.
1t is estimated that work will be
furnished for at least fifty men,
which will be of enormous benefit Il
this community under the present
conditions.
All matters of detail have been
worked out so that IL now remains
only TO get the necessary equipment
OF the ground and the men started
to work. This equipment is now In
transit to Ely, which is concrete evi-
dence of the fact that no time Is to be
lost in starting operations.
Commissioner Clark was accom-
panied by Commissioner Tucker, who
returned to Ely last night.
Among other things accomplished
whilo at the state capital they pro-
cured several thousand dollars worth
of repair parts for the eight Peerless
trucks which this county some time
ago obtained from the state road de-
partment. The state had In all twelve
trucks. eight of which are now the
property of White Pine county. The
commissioners found that they could
get a great bargain in the way OF re-
pair parts. In fact. they procured
this valuable equipment by paying
the freight to Ely. which will amount
TO about S1,400, or not enough to
cover the ordinary repairs on the big
trucks for one oyerhauling. White
Pine is now in position to supply
these parts TO other counties which
procured trucks from the department
and in that event. through the actiyi-
ties of the commissioners, this county
will be far on the good side OF the
ledger.

DOWNTOWN STREET
LIGHTING IMPROVED

The Pacific Power & Light Company
has recently completed the installation
of some larger lamps and improved
type fixtures in the downtown district
Of the city. These repalce smaller
lamps in the old type open fixtures, and
have been hung over the centers of the
intersections, or the center of the
street in the absence of an intersection,
on Cascade from 1st to 5th, Oak from
Front to 5th, and State from the
bridge to 9th. The result is a greater
intensity of candle power and better
distribution Of light over the pave
ment, and the improvement is most
marked on State street where the for
mer lighting was altogether inadequate
for street carrying so much traffic.
This is the first step in a general
plan Of improved lighting for the city
which is being worked out by the Fire
and Water committee of the City
Council with Manager Snow of the
power company, and is pursuant to the
new lighting contract with the com
pany recently entered into by the city.
Other districts of the city will be
taken up in turn and the plan gradu
ally worked out to completion.

tendency by joining the married men s
team. The Boy Scouts of Odell will
play the Pine Grove Scouts. Rev. Will
liam A. Sunday will umpire the double
header game.
A cafeteria chicken dinner will be
served by the Pine Grove ladies. Be-
tween dinner and the beginning of

ticipated in by the best talent of all
valley sections. The Girl Scouts will

ted such interest here, and host of ci-
ty folk have planned to motor to Pine
Grove this afternoon.

NORTHWESTERN STOCK
SALES GRATIFYING

There's some advantage in having
satisfied customers, believes General
Manager Merwin of the Northwestern
Electric Company. who attributes much
of the early success of the company's
recently launched campaign to sell a
million dollars Of preferred stock to the
fact that it has 5000 consumers of
light and heat who appreciate good
service at reasonable cost.
More than 80 per cent of our own
employees have placed orders for stock
and a particularly gratifying fact is
that most Of the sales thus far have
been TO persons included on our list of
9. 600 consumers of heating and light
ing service. THE par value of each
share of stock sold is 500 and the pur-
chaser gets it for S95. When the stock
is all paid for it nets the purchaser 7g
per cent on his investment
L. V. Arnreter. who IS IN charge of
sales in this district. says he finds the
field highly productive for this class of
securities. Mr.. Arnreiter has had wide
experience 10 the financial phase of
the business here and in the east,
where he has spent many years in Sc
curing capital for western develop
ment. He is therefore an authority on
both eastern and local securities, hav-
ing lived In this state for over -
years.
Cornelius W. O'Boyle, recently from
New York, where he was for wears in
The employ n the New York Edison
company, has arrived to assist Mr..

COUNCIL CONSIDERS
LICENSE ORDINANCE

The city council has found that the
provisions of an ordinance governing
the operation Of motor bus transporta-
tion concerns doing business here by
demanding a $4,000 bond of rigid
terms cannot be complied with, and
it was decided that the ordinance,
which also charges heavy license fees,
will be modified.
The council is now engaged in the
consideration of an ordinance, increas-
ing the license fees of itinerant shows
and circuses, which passed first read
ing Monday night. Fees are increased
over those of an old ordinance, and CIR
cuses will be assessed fee for use of
the streets in giving parade.
The council has ordered warrants
drawn in payment Of a section of
street grading and the constructing of
curbs and cutters by the Transfer &
Livery Co. on a section of a large
block Of work now under way. The
council. however, has not yet accepted
finally any of the work done by the
construction company.

THE GLACIER CUP ARRIVES

The silver cup, awarded the Glacier
recently by judges of contest at the
Oregon Agricultural College, has ar
rived. The inscription engraved on
the cup is as follows: 20. A. c., De-
partment of Industrial Journalism, Tro-
ply - Best Rural Service - 1921 -
Awarded TO Hood River Glacier"
We invite our Hood River city and
rural friends to visit the office and see
the trophy. AS we stated in former
comment on this honor that has befal-
len US and of which we are proud, we
consider the cup the property of the
general Hood River public and that we
are merely its custodian.
The value attached to the cup itself
is relatively small. 1t is a symbol of
something, however. that is priceless.
We will never look upon it without
renewed inspiration. The award came
to us in recognition of our weekly rec
ord of Hood River valley rural devel-
opment. 1t is our hope that this prog
ress of rural activities will continue.
Our undivided effort will be toward
such development. We only ask the
further full cooperation of all who may
read this.
