BOUGHT STOCK CATTLE
FOR PARADISE RANGE

Tom w. Dooley, well known Para
disc Valley rancher, spent this
morning in town on his way home
from Golconda, where he purchased
all the stock cattle belonging to the
]. Etchegoyhen outfit, together with
the quarter circle B brand. The
cattle are being driven to Mr..
Dooley's Paradise Valley ranch,
where they will be fed throughout
the winter in anticipation of being
turned out in the spring to multiply
into a bigger herd in due time. Mr..
Dooley believes implicitly in cattle
as a present-day investment and is
certain that prices have hit the low
level.

FIRE DEPARTMENT
|. 1921 REPORT MADE
Firemen Attended Many Blazes and
Performed Excellent Services
For Which Winnemuccans
May Be Grateful

Chief Guy Asbury of the Winnie
mucca Volunteer Fire Department
has rendered his report covering the
operations of the local department
for the year 1921. His citations OF
service performed and interest
evinced by the membership of the
organization are entirely commenda-
tory. Mr.. Asbury's report shows
that up to December 10 twelve fires
were responded to, including the
blaze which partially destroyed The
Silver State newspaper office or
September 13. Other fire alarms
were sent in as follows:
Browns woodshed, IL men re.
porting, May /; Gem barber shop
IL men reporting, June II; power
house, 15 men reporting, July 13
Nels Johnson, 8 men reporting, Au.
gust Ia; Ruckteschler cottage, IL
men reporting, August 21; Western
Pacific supply car, IL men report
ing, September |; The Silver State

tember 25; China dugout, Is mer
reporting, November. 2; Jim Cor
bell, IA men reporting, November

reporting, November 81.
Those interested to know what
the city's volunteer fire fighting or
ganization costs them can arrive al
the proper figure by counting Mr.
Asbury in at all fires at $40 pei
trip and each of his associate work
ers at SIS.
Without exception the people OF
this city appreciate and place reli-
ance upon the firemen, who have
proved to be a highly efficient agent
in limiting property damage here
About a year ago the fire insurance
underwriters board granted polio,
holders here reductions in premiums
varying from 10 to so per cent, and
the savings thus accorded are many
times in excess Of the outlay neces-
sary to the maintenance of the vol
unteer fire department and equip
ment.
The firemen are planning to hold
their annual banquet some time next
month and the date will be an.
nounced within the next few days
Jay Stevens, chief of the fire pre-.
vention bureau and formerly fire

cities, will be present from his home

must be scrutinized annually by the
governments agents.
Lately a ruling went into effect
by the direction of the war finance
corporation that the rate Of interest
to the stockmen should be lowered
from eight per cent annum to seven
and one-half per cent. To encom-
pass this end the banks and loan
associations have been granted a
reduction in the rate they pay the
government from six per cent to five
and one-half per cent, two per cent
being the allowance to the money
loaning agencies to cover their over
head costs figuring in transactions.
Those who have secured loans at the
eight per cent rate will be entitled
to receive a rebate of one-half of
one per cent to conform to the new
ruling.

WILSON ATTENDS THEATER.
Today the President Shows No Ill Eff

Washington, Feb. $50 far as had
been learned at the White House to-
day President Wilson was suffering
no ill effects from his attendance at
the theater last night, his first since
the illness which interrupted his
speaking tour in September, 1919.

him in rising and leaving the theater

WAR ON HIGH RENTS.
Pittsburgh City Officials Begin Agita.

Pittsburgh, Feb. 2.-City council
and the Chamber of Commerce of
Pittsburgh have entered the campaign
against higher rents in this city. The
council finance committee in a COM

quested that a resolution be prepared
for introduction in council next Mon
day auth orizing the city to advertise
the fact that increased taxes this year
do not justify large increase in rents.
Commenting on the action of coun-
Gil, j. H. Daley, councilman said
he had been advised that certain
landlords had increased rents so per
cent claiming it was because Of the
higher tax rate.
The question of rent increases will
be taken up at an excessive rents

ABUSES WILSON.
Debs Refers to Him AS a Modern
Benedict Arnold.

Atlanta, Feb. 2.-Eugenr V. Debs,
in e statement last night, assailed
President w ilson for hia Russian and
Armenian policies, and his treatment
of Robert Lansing. He said he hoped
tho president would sleep az quietly
and restfully in the White House as
he, Debs, was sleeping in the federal
prison.
Debs asserted that for the presi-
dent to have pardoned him would
have. been the equivalent of Benedict
Arnold pardoning George Washing
ton, and he added: "It was my own
only fear that 1 might be indebted
for my liberty to Woodrow Wilson.
My record, good or bad, is at least
consistent, and that is the only way
it could have been smirched."

THE UNKNOWN "BUDDY."

II Is proposed to bring the body OF
an unknown soldier from France
and bury It in the National Arlington
cemetery with solemn rites, as n tri-
butte to the soldiers of this country
who died in France. General Pershing
has approved the plan: Secretary OF
War Baker has disapproved it.
Vast will be the difference of
opinion upon the matter. It will DC
said that General Pershing does not
know tho sentiment of the soldiers;
that his favoring or Directing to the
idea makes little difference with the
survivors OF the war. 1t will be said
that Secretary OF War Bakers

dead would either be brought homo
or left where they are buried in
France may well be broken in n case
such as this.
