The report that the wife Of an army
officer living In Washington is a suf-
ferer from leprosy Is supplemented by
the statement that the attack Of the
disease is mild, and that there is every
hope for recovery. A few years ago
such an announcement with regard to
victim of leprosy would have been
considered a piece of wild romanclng
The leper was doomed, as lepers had
been doomed since the beginning of
time. Now 1t Is mere matter Of
routine that the patient is to be sent
to the government hospital In Louis
lana, there to receive the newest chaul-
moogra oil treatment which Surgeon
General Cummings credits with the
cure of SO patients in the federal hos
pital at Hawaii.

Little footsteps, how we miss them
When they sound for us no more;
They have crossed the unseen valley
They have reached the golden shore
They have gone to lands so distant
Even echoes are asleep,
Only in our dreams we hear them,
Only in our fond thoughts keep"

100000 POUNDS OF
WOOL SOLD At ELK0

The first sale of wool since the
slump year ago was made In Elko
yesterday when Pete Corta OF Mound
Valley disposed of his entire clip of
1920 and 1921 to Eisemann Bros. of
Boston. through their buyers. Frank
e. Hickey and Walter E. Donald. sayt
the Elko Free Press.
The price paid has not been made
public, but is less than fifteen cents,
and Judging from the sales made in
Idaho and California. where sales
have been made for twelve and half
cents for this grade of wool. it is be-
lieved that the sale price was some
where about this figure.
The deal included both the clip of
1920 and this springs clip. and will
amount to nearly 100000 pounds. 1t
will be delivered to the Western Pa
cific railroad and shipped west to San
Francisco and from there by sea to
the eastern market. as considerable
can be saved on freight charges since
the recent advance by the railroads.
1t was just about year ago when
the price of wool was at its peak, and
buyers offered Mr.. Corta sixty-two
cents for this same wool, but he. with
the great majority of local wool grow
ers. were hanging out for sixty-five
cents.
A number of the wool buyers stated
today that there was as yet no estab-
lished price for wool and will not be

cHAUTAUQUA TO Be
HERE JUNE 8 To 10

That the Chautauqua program for
the coming season holds much of in
terest for the lecture, music and en-
tertainment lovers is indicated by the
advance information from the Ellison
White Bureau. The dates for Winnie
mucca have been definitely set for
June 9th to 18th.
The announcement that Peter Clark
Macfarlane, the noted writer, is sched-
uled for a Chautauqua appearance
this year is of particular interest.
For many years Chautauqua manag-
ers have tried to lure Macfarlane to
the platform, both because of his pop
ularity as a writer and because of hi
we'll known platform ability. Senator
Hiram Johnson rates him as one of
the best public speakers in the coun-
try. His contributions to the Satur-
day Evening Post, Golfers, McClures
American, and practically all the lead
ing periodicals, have been widely read
and appreciated.
Another figure of national, or rathe'
international importance, scheduled
for the coming ASSEMBLY, is Stefans
son, the famous Arctic explorer. Stef
ansson was contracted for a Chautau-
qua tour last year, but throat trouble
developed and he was forced to canoe
at the eleventh hour. Steffansson ha
been repeatedly packing the big audi
forums of the East at his lecture
and his coming will undoubtedly be
eagerly anticipated. He has fac

HOW GASOLINE WAS
FORCED To DECLINE

The Reno Gazette prints an inter
esting and amusing story under the
head of "Why Gasoline Dropped" The
first reason reported for a drop of
four cents a gallon in Reno was that
the city can now be supplied from
California sources, but read the sec
ond reason. 1t might pay an enter
prising Winnemucca dealer TO look
into the possibilitie Says the Ga
zette:
According to a report current IN
automobile circle3 the sudden drop of
four cents in gasoline. announced two
days ago by tie large supply houses
in Reno, was due to private ship
ment of Texas gasoline received by a
local automobile dealer at landed
cost four cents under the local whole
sale price.
The local dealer who received the
shipment stated that he had recently
received quotations from Oklahoma
and Texas ranging around fourteen
cents per gallon and that he finally
ordered carload which arrived a few
days Ago. The Reno price, including
freight, he said, amounted to about
twenty-five cents per gallon, exclusive
of any unloading or storage charge
or rental upon the tank car while held
for unloading.
