HARDING WRITES
TO WOOL GROWERS

President Harding has written to
Prof +. r. Marshall, secretary of the
National Wool Growers Association,
expressing the hope that there will
be no delay in the passing of tariff
legislation. The letter was in re-
sponse to a telegram directed to the
President by the wool growers asso-
citation.
An embargo on importation OF
wool, wool tops and wool waste will
be proposed in bill to be introduced
by Senator Smoot of Utah on the first
day of the special session of congress
next month. Immediate action is
necessary to save the wool industry,
the senator said. as foreign wool is
pouring into the country.
A gigantic wool pool to provide
for the warehousing and marketing
of 25,000.000 pounds, is the plan de-
vised by a subcommittee of the Utah
state farm bureau, according to an
nouncement. The plan will be pre-
sented to Utah wool growers at a
meeting to be held March II.

KNOXVILLE, New, March 16.-
The mines and mills continue to
produce and reduce with occasional,
but brief Interruptions. In the old
Arizona mine vein of shipping ore
was recently encountered. This is
very encouraging to the manage
velopment in other directions. No
one can say what lies underground
until 1t has been explored and there
is still much unexplored territory in
the holdings of this company. 1t is
sincerely to be hoped that many such
finds will reward the efforts of Mr..
Van Dyke and his associates.
The Unionvillc Mining company
continues its output of the precious
metal also. For a day or two the
mill was closed because of q lack of
oil for the engines, but this shortage
was soon relieved and mine and mill
are again busy.
Rumors are afloat to the effect
that both companies contemplate al
terations and additions to their plants
to enable thcm to handle their ores
to better advantage.
Dame Runor is also flirting with
the report that our postoffice is soon
to be placed in the presidential class.
Inquiry at the office elicted the in
formation that there is no immediate
prospect of such change.
The unusually early opening of
spring has caused our farmers to
don their rubber boots, shoulder
their shovels and sally forth into
their fields to take care of the water
they are receiving from the melting
snow.
Weather and range conditions
being favorable the stock has been
driven out of the valley Into the hills
The loss of stock during the winter
was very slight. Prospects for

The w. C. Pitt ranching interests

having made provision therefore by
the purchase of the pipe that form

This improvement will no doubt
make the Indian creek ranch one OF

WORD COMES OF
SUDDEN DEATH
OF |. O'CONNELL

Yesterday Eugene OConnell re-
ceived a wire informing him of the
death of his brother, Lawrence, aged
80, at Imperial California. The
news of the demise of the brother
came as a great shock, as no intima-
ton of illness had been received
here. The deceased had resided in
Tonopah for several years, coming
to this city with his parents in
1902 from Austin, Nevada, where he
was born. He was associated with
his father and brothers, T. O'Connall
& Sons, in the mercantile business
here for several years. He later
went to Kansas, where he was mar
ried, returning to Tonopah three
years ago for a short visit to rela-
tives before departing for Imperial,
where he purchased a ranch.
The young man was held in the
highest esteem in this community
and in the city where he was born.
The sympathy. of the residents of
Tonopah is extended to the sorrow
ing relatives. Besides his wife, he
leaves to mourn his death four
brothers, Ellert and Eugene of TonO-
pah; John, of Long Beach, Califor-
mia, and Thomas of Reno; also one
sister Mrs George Johnson of To-
nopah, and an aunt, Mrs Alex Nc
Cafferty also Of this city.
Ellert O'Connell, who was in Los
Angeles, has gone to Imperial, and
funeral arrangements will be made
later today.

HERE AND THERE ABOUT
THE NATIONAL CAPITOL

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 25.-
Almost daily it becomes necessary
for members of the Nevada delega-
ton to explain that the Sagebrush
state is larger than Pennsylvania or
New York, or both of them put to-
gether; and no, we are not troubled
with tarantulas, or Indians, or MeXi-
cans; and no, we do not have cy-
clones there. AAd yes, it gets pref
ty hot on the desert, but we don't
feel it as much as we do at Wash
ington; and yes, there is but one
representative in congress from our
10 square miles of, territory, and
it takes five days for mail to reach
points on main lines of railroad, and
a whole lot longer than that to get
a letter to the Groom mine, for
instance; and that it is impossible
to get a reply in less than a week,
But there are other misconcep-
tions of Nevada which outcrOp most
Unexpectedly at times. There are
cases which seem to call for femi-
nine explanations of the life back
home" For instance, a certain Chi
cago society for the Identification of
national highways, or something Of
that sort, has been insisting to a
certain Nevada woman that the old
state ought to set out rose bushes
or something else beautiful along
the roads presumably after the or
der of the famous Redlands, Cali
fornia. boulevard. The lady of Ne
vada protested several times that the
state was too prosperous in the mat
ter of distances to attempt any such
scheme. Her final reply from the
Chicago correspondent was to the
effect that she shoIll AnE If Ne
vada could not set out flowers sh7
could at least plant sagebrush along
the roads to give green and ar.
tistic effect to the landscape!
