MAKES SUGGESTION
TO WOOL GROWERS

J. w. Wilson, county agent for the
Humboldt county farm bureau, has
received a number of large samples
of cloth made from virgin wool The
samples are sent out by the Western
Wool Growers Association to the diff
ferent farm bureaus and chamber of
commerce bodies throughout the
country.
Suits made from the cloth are sold
at from $S6 to $3s. and are made from
Montana wool and contain no shoddy.
Mr.. Wilson says that Nevada growers
can send wool to the same company
from which the samples came and
have wool manufactured into cloth of
the same material. The wool for
clothing, he said, should be graded
from one-holfto five Merinos, says the
Humboldt Star. -
The three-eights blood is made into
blankets. A sample of blanket made
in woolen mill in South Carolina
has also been received by Mr.. Will
son. 1t takes about fifteen pounds
of Nevada grease wool to make one
double blanket weighing about fifteen
pounds. These blankets are manu-
factured for S. each, the wool to be
furnished by the owner. The milling
company will take lots as small as
one sack, or about 400 pounds.
1t is estimated that wool growers
furnishing wool for the manufacture
OF cloth as described will realize 30
cents a pound for their wool The
cloth can be disposed of here by To-
cal merchants. This plan is being
worked out successfully in Montana.
Mr.. Wilson has large number of
samples of different grades of wool
which he is exhibiting. The display
not only shows the finest grades of
Merino wools. but all the other grades
including the long fibre used in car
pet making.

MASONIC MINES
BEING DEVELOPED

Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. A. Montrose. H.
H. Boone, ]. J. Brockliss, II. Carpenter
and Mr. and Mrs. B. Selkirk composed
party that spent Sunday at Masonic
looking over the mining situation in
that promising camp.
The shaft on the Myrtle and Julia
claim. owned by Montrose, Boone, and
Carpenter. has been taken to depth
OF twenty feet and the ore body Is
widening out to considerable extent.
Samples we're taken OF the ore that
Is exposed In the bottom of the shaft
and the returns will determine what
disposition the owners are to take.
Should the values show we'll, the
shaft will be driven to depth of ct
least fifty feet. Former assays gave
values ranging from s24 to $65 per ton.
In speaking of other mines of the
camp. the Bridgeport Chronicle has
the following to say
C. L. Faudre has been moving his
household effects from Yerington to
Masonic. and in company with Arch
and Adam Mcmillan. intends to start
work Immediately In developing sew
eral claims south OF Masonic noun
tain from which he has received en-
couraging assays.
c. c. Hayes has opened up a new
shaft on the Success claim, and is
making arrangements to commence
sinking. The Hayes Brothers have
received very flattering assays from
their property, although they have not
reached depth of over Is feet. Their
assays give returns of from $12 to
$4,000 per ton, and everything would
indicate that large body of ore will
be encountered with a little depth.
Several parties are lookin gat the
property, but to date, no deal has been
consummated.
Jim Peril and John Christie have
been opening up some Of their claims
and the showing made thus far is
very encouraging, and beyond a doubt,
they will have good mine with a
little more development work.
1t is reported that Stahl Brothers
are figuring on starting operations in
the camp again. They own the mill
In lower town, and the Cerita mine,
which has a broken formation but
several years ago some very rich
high grade ore was taken from the
mine. Frank Stahl's statement gives
100000 as the amount recovered.

FAIRBANKS AT BEST
in MARK Of ZORRO

Never before has Douglas Fairbanks
waxed SO enthusiastic over the sue
cess and admiration Of a picture than
he has over The Mark OF Zoro." his
fourth United Artists production
which will be the feature attraction
at the Rex Theatre on Saturday and
Sunday.
The story is an adoption Of john
ston McCulley's novel, "The Curse Of
Capistrano." which appeared in the
All-Story Weekly magazine
The background Of the story is CEN
tered around early Southern Califor-
MIA of nearly a century ago when its
destinies were zealously guarded by
the Spanish settlers History records
the occasion when the Spaaish emil
grated to the southwest OF North
America in climate somewhat sfmi-
lar to that of their native country.
They brought with them not only their
customs and art. but always mani
tested an alluring spirit of romantic
ism, chivalry, and glamour that has
never yet failed to make strong ap-
peal to even those of another race.
We have always known them to be
rolicking type. ever fond OF their
wines, their native dances and music,
and strongly imbued with love and
alteration for those whose lot It fell
to perform valiant deeds. Extreme
courtesy under all circumstances was
virtue endeared to the hearts Of all;
hence their intense love for the chiv-
alrous. AS years passed. their pos
terity perpetuated their mode OF life,
and though conditions may change,
their history will never remain ex-
tinct.
A replica of the entire city OF Los
Angeles, as it existed during these
stirring days, was constructed at
stupendous outlay. Over one hundred
genuine types were secured for the
purpose of realism. They can be seen
in the picture attired in their native
costumes and pursuing their usual vo-
cations In fact. every incident. to the
most minute detail, has been given
the most careful attention.

OFFICERS TO WAR
ON BOOTLECCERS

The following report has been pre-
sented to Judge Z. s. Harrington and
filed in the Office OF the clerk OF the
federal court. says the Carson Appeal
THE United States Federal Court,
Hon. e. s. Harrington, Judge, Dis
trict of Nevada.
''In an effort to investigate the cause
for the apparent lack OF cooperation In
the enforcement Of the prohibition law
in this state between county and fed
eral officers and the endeavor to bring
about better relations and more effici-
ent prosecution of its violation, the
grand jury brought officers of adjacent
counties before 1t and from the in
formation thus obtained have formed
the following conclusions.
County and state officers examined
express entire willingness to cooperate
in every possible way with federal Of
ficers, and several have been very
active In aiding In the apprehension
of violators of the law.
"It was found that some counties de-
cline to support their officers in an eff
fectiye prosecution of the law because
of lack of finances and the fear of in
creased taxes, which are already ex-
cessiye.
"Officers find II difficult to obtain in
formation from citizens that would as
sist them In the implication of viola
tors of this law, much less evidence
sufficient to obtain the valid search
warrants.
District courts are unsuccessful In
obtaining convictions at the hands of
jurors, even on very clear evidence of
guilt.
I'm order that these conditions be
improved. we recommend that the fed
eral court undertake the prosecution
of cases on evidence secured by county
officers. where fair and just verdicts
cannot be obtained by jurors in dis
trict courts. We further recommend
that where convictions are not OBJ
tanned In the district courts that the
cases be Immediately taken to the fed
eral court for trial. BY this procedure
counties will be, in large measure.
relieved of the burden of expense and
convictions will be more certain. We
find in most cases brought in district
courts the accused prefer to stand
trial, while the majority brought into
the federal court enter pleas of guilty
I'VE are convinced If the penalty In
all leases carried jail sentence In
addition to fine, 1t would be far more
effective and we would recommend
that the law be thus amended

CHANGES MADE AT
NEVADAUNIVERSITY

A number of changes have been
made in the university regulations and
the courses Of study In the various
colleges, especially the College of Arts
and Science, which will be of interest
to the members of the class entering
September, 1921. Perhaps the most
important of the changes are the new
required subject included in the first
two years work. Heretofore, students
entering the College of Arts and
Science have been permitted to choose
largely whatever subject their fancy
might dictate. Often the choice has
not been wisely made and after year
or two of this method of procedure,
the student has found that many
courses, which he would like to have,
are closed to him because certain pre-
requisites have not been studied. The
course, as outlined by the faculty, will
include these prerequisites and there
by aim to give the students breadth of
training as well as fit him for his
specialization later. AS heretofore, all
students must take English in their
freshman year, but this work, because
of its fundamental importance has
been further strengthened by requir-
ing continuation of this subject in
the sophomore year.
The requirement in modern langu-
age remains about the same, except
that the work must commence the first
year In college. Each freshman must
take course in social science,
though considerable latitude is here
allowed by permitting the student to
choose from any subject within the
group.
The requirement in natural science
is definite addition to previous re-
quirements. Here the student has
choice between a course in mathe-
matics or any laboratory course. A
new one-hour course in hygiene has
been added, and all freshmen must
register in this work.
Within the above limits the principal
part of the freshman work and about
two-thirds of the sophomore work is
presented.
The new rules for delinquent schol-
arship are less exacting ON the fresh
men, but perhaps a little more severe
upon the upper classmen than those
previously in force. A freshman must
carry only one-third of his program,
while an upper classman must carry
half to remain in college. The earnest
student who enters next semester
should find no serious restrictions on
his choice for social work or play. The
student who is registering primarily
for social advantages and athletic
sports will probably find himself
hedged about with more difficulties
than his predecessor has encountered.

TO HAVE
PUBLIC CAMPING GROUND

A meeting was held by the citizens
of Gardneryille last evening for the
purpose of considering proposition
OF arranging for public camp
ground. to be used this summer by
auto parties. A big lot In the rear of
the Midland Garage, and In the CEN
ter of town, is available for that pur-
pose and can be cleaned up and the
needed improvements made at a small
cost. 1t was decided to proceed with
the work, and Gardnerville is now as
surred Of one of the most favorably
located camp grounds In this section.

DAIRY ASSOCIATION
FOR SMITH VALLEY

That dairymen of other sections of
Nevada are to follow the step taken
by those of Carson Valley In the or
ganization of dairymens associations
is evidenced by the fact that a meet
ing will be held at Wellington today
for the purpose of organizing SINH
lar association, according to B. Card
inal, manager of the Minden Butter
Manufacturing Company, who is TAX
Ing an active part in perfecting the
organization. He is being assisted in
the work by e. v. Scott, dairy leader
of the University Of Nevada, and Thos.
Buckman of the Lyon County farm bu-
reau.
For some time past the farmers of
Smith Valley have been desirous of en-
gaging more extensively in the dairy
industry, but some of them, owing to
poor hay markets and the necessity of
holding their crops, are not In. finan-
cial position to proceed However, the
Minden Butter Manufacturing Com
pany is desirous of assisting the dairy
men of Smith Valley in every way and
is supported in the commendable un-
dertaking by the Farmers Bank of
Carson Valley, and 1t is understood
that aid will be given to Smith Valley
farmers who are desirous OF engag-
ing in the dairy industry and who are
being held back by financial reasons.
Smith Valley has great possibilities
as a farming section, and has been
held back for years because of lex
of water for irrigation Nowsthat the
long-talked-of storage system is fast
becoming a reality, work having al
ready been started on the great stor-
age system at Topaz Lake, that section
will come to the front at rapid pace.
and thousands of acres of idle land will
be brought under cultivation within
the next few years. 1t is predicted
that Smith Valley Will become as
equally important as Carson Valley In
the next few years, and the people of
that section are exceedingly jubilant
over the fact that the storages ystem
has made agricultural expansion pos
sible. RVS 'f

TEAM WINS
FROM HOME BOYS

The Gardnerville baseball nine suf-
fered their first defeat of the season
last Sunday on the local diamond,
when they lost to the Carson City
team by score Of 10 to 3. In the
first inning of the game the locals
apparently could not get warmed up
and numerous errors coupled with
some heavy hitting by the visitors
resulted in eight runs being scored.
This was serious handicap to face
with the game just commenced, but
be 1t said to the credit OF the home
boys, they tackled the Job in manly
fashion. holding Carson to two more
runs during the remainder Of the con-
