ANOTHER QUARTER
MILLION DOLLARS
$282,500 of War Finance Funds
Asker For; Makes Total From
This Source to Aid Stock
Men Now $880,O0O

If applications filed Monday by
Senator ]. Sheehan, acting for the
Northern Nevada Loan Association,
with the War Finance Corporation,
asking for an additional sum for
the benefit of livestock growers, are
approved, S2S2,500 more of "new"
money will be available for the
strengthening of the industry in
this portion of Nevada. Following
the depression that was manifest
in the livestock industry two years
ago, and which is still noticeable
in a greatly reduced extent, it is
not difficult to understand the i'm
portance of such news to this COM
munity, as well as to other COM
munities in northern Nevada and
for that matter the whole state. 1t
is reasonable to suppose that the
applications will be approved as
presented for the reason that all of
those heretofore filed have been ap-
proved in full amounts asked for.
Of the $282, 500 asked for Mon
day, to be loaned to livestock
growers by the association, $780,
500 goes to livestock men in Elko
county; $4,000 to livestock men in
Eureka county, and the balance of
$145,000 will be loaned to live
stock men of northern Humboldt
county, northern Pershing county
and in southern Oregon.
To date the amount loaned to
livestock growers in this district by
the War Finance Corporation is
$880,000, of which sum $248,000
was handled through banks before
the organization of the loaning as
sociation, and S640,000 through the
association. Some of the money
loaned through banks has since been
repaid. A total of lightweight mil
lion dollars has been loaned to live
stock growers throughout the United
States by the War Finance Cor
poration.

PIONEER RANCHER
DIES SUDDENLY
Prominent Cattleman and Humboldt
County Pioneer Is Stricken
With Appendicitis and
Quickly Succumbs

Edward McGee, who owns a
ranch located about thirty miles
from DEMO, was stricken with an
attack of appendicitis, Tuesday
afternoon, at Quinn River Crossing,
while en- route here with drove of
cattle. DIR. Swezy was Immediately
called and went to the bedside of
the sick man, administered first aid
treatment and then brought the
sufferer to the county hospital, ar
irving there at about Z o'clock yes
terday evening. Arrangements were
at once made for surgical opera
tion, but when the incision was
made for the removal of the ap-
pendix it was discovered that it
had bursted; and two hours later
the victim passed away.
The deceased leaves wife and
three children-two boys and a
little girl-to mourn his unexpected
release from the cares of this
world; and they arrived here this
forenoon, in response to word sent
to them of the death Of the hus-
band and father.
Edward McGee was born in sthe
state of Illinois, 81 years ago and
came to Humboldt county with his
parents at the age of ten and for
forty-four years has made this his
home, living on the ranch that he
owned, at the time of his death, for
the past thirty-two years.
He was not only a pioneer citi-
zen and one of the country's most
prominent cattlemen, but he was
known throughout this county as
one of its most energeticc and re-
sponsible men and his death will
be mourned by all who knew him.

whom is A. F. Trousdale, a cousin.
The father of the deceased now
resides in Cedarville, California
and the remains will be taken there
for burial, the family leaving fo1

SILVER MEN SEEK
TARIFF ON ME Al

A tariff of twenty-five cents an
ounce on foreign silver will be pro-
posed at a meeting of silver pro-
ducers to be held in Salt Lake City
early in January, it was announced
in Reno recently by one of the best
known silver mining men in the
west, who for business reasons felt
that his name should be withheld.
The meeting is now being called,
he said, and it is the purpose to
form an association of silver pro-
ducers of the west at this gather
ing and to adopt resolutions which
congress will not be in position to
ignore.
With the provisions of the silver
purchase act expiring about one year
from now, he explained, some action
must be taken to keep the price
where it will be profitable to keep
the Vests silver mines in operation.
The proposal to sell the white metal
TO China, he said, was fallacy, for
China has no credit with which to
purchase silver. 1t is proposed at
this meeting, he said, to have ex-
perts go into detail on the cost of
production of the white metal in
Mexico, Peru and Canada and to
show conclusively that with the
price of one dollar an ounce taken
off, American mines cannot produce
at profit.
"We have taxed lead and other
ores, why not silver?" he asked. 1t
was explained that the United States
now produces about sixty million
ounces of silver annually and con-
sumes just about that same amount
and pointed out that if tariff is
placed on foreign silver the mines
of the United States will be en-
abled to continue producing at a
reasonable profit.
Western senators and congress
men are to be asked to attend the
conference. 1t is argued that they
can compel the members of the ma
tional congress to recognize the
rights of the western metal pro-
ducers in view of the fact that the
westerners have supported the
claims of the large eastern manu-
facturers for tariffs which protect
their products. 1t is likely, it was
explained, that the matter of &
silver tariff will be placed in the
hands of Senator Reed Smoot o1
Utah, that state being one of the
largest silver producers in the ceun.

along with j. M. Fulton, division
freight and passenger agent of the
Southern Pacific, will be here to
meet with farmers and shippers and
enter into frank discussions of
transportation matters that occa-
sionally arise to vex and annoy all
parties concerned, largely due, in

who is lacking in considerateness.

also speak concerning problems fac
ing farmers and live stock men, re-

plans having for their purpose the
improvement end development of
the poultry industry, and enlarging
the scope of farm bureau activities,
County Agent Wilson also made a
very interesting talk on irrigation

ing the activities of 1928 are round
ing into form in praiseworthy
manner.

OIL ON HIGHWAYS is A
NUISANCE SAY MOTORISTS

The Lincoln highway between
Fallon and Leeteville has been cop
iously oiled much to the disgust of
motorists who are obliged to travel
in that direction. Various reports
have reached Fallon as to what kind
of mixture was used on the road,
who conceived the idea and why.
The order to oil the highway is
credited to the San Francisco Of
flee of the Federal Highway Board.
The dope which was put on the road
is apparently a mixture of about
equal parts of asphalt and oil. 1t
was put on week ago last Sunday
and as yet shows no signs of soak
ing into the surface. 1t lies in pools
in the road and is of just the right
consistency and sickness to plaster
up car in horrible shape.--Fallon

MOVEMENT STARTS FOR
LIGHT WINES AND BEER

From Tonopah Bonanza.
c. C. Steinbart, representative
of the Sanity League of America,
incorporated uder the laws of Cali
fornia, the objects of whichc are to
secure an amendment to the Vol
stead act which will permit the use
of light wines and beer, is visitor
in Tonopah. The Sanity League of
America is circulating petition
that was drawn by Congressman
Julius H. Kahn of California, which
is to be circulated in every populous
community in America, and when
the petitions have been completed
they will be presented to congress.
Every state will have its headquar-
ters, and Reno has been selected for
Nevada. Mr.. Steinbart is now cir
culating a petition among the resi-
dents of Tonopah, and states that
in every place the representatives
have visited they have secured the
signatures of rs per cent of the
people.
The resolution of the Sanity
League of America, touching upon
the subject, reads:
Whereas, We believe that the Vol
stead act, after fair trial, has
proven failure and has been the
direct cause of increase in crime
and drug addicts. We therefore pc
tition congress to SO amend the
Volstead act that light wines and
beer may be restored to the Ameri-
can people.

ENGINEER HERE TO
TAKE LOOK SEE
Man Sent Here To Look Things
Over and Make Report to
Buyers of Silver State
Chemical Co. Bonds

The metallurgist who has been
sent here from across the water to
look over the Silver State Chemi-
cal company plant and render a
report to prospective mortgage bond
buyers of England relative to the
company's equipment and its pros
poets for business, arrived here yes
terday and is diligently entering
into Investigations that will un-
questionably enable him to advise,
with full intelligence, the people
whom he represents, that mortgage
bonds of the Silver State Chemical
company are as near an approach to
gilt-edged securities as it is pos
sible for anyone to find in the
Golden West.
Immediately following the arrival
of the gentleman local business men
took steps to provide the money es-
sential to recompense him for MAX
ing the trip over here and the sum
necessary was raised without the
exertion of much effort, as every
body here thoroughly appreciates
the Importance of making the Silver
State Chemical company plant a
going concern, with everything in
the way of a financial handicap
eliminated.
There is said to be sufficient ore,
almost in sight of the plant to keep
it busy for a long term of years,
at no small profit to the stock
holders and to the material ad-
vantage of every man who resides
in this city.

MAY INCLUDE NEVADA IN
PACIFIC SLOPE BANK SYSTEM

Nevada will in all probability be-
come part of the federal joint stock
and land bark system of the Pa
cific slope, with an assurance of
better facilities for farmers and
stockmen to obtain needed loans, as
the result of a meeting of banking
men in Reno with John Drum, presi-
dent of the San Francisco federal
joint stock and land bank.
Nevada, which was left out of
the Pacific slope system at the
time of the formation of the
federal bank, is expected to be
taken into the northern California
district, according to one of the
bankers in attendance at the meet
ing recently.
The extension of this district to
Nevada, according to |. w. Knowles
of the Reno National bank, will en-
able Nevada ranchers to borrow
amounts up to $4,000 at six per
cent interest with provisions to
pay small amounts twice year
over periods of 20 or 80 years if
necessary.
This extension will mean a great
deal to Nevada" Mr.. Knowles said.
Nevada is long on land and short
on stock, and this plan will enable
ranchers to get money to put in
sheep or cattle. Many of the
larger banks of Nevada will become
stockholders and they will be able
to bear the burden which they were
unable to carry before. Nevada

ShTouBHouI IHc Stdtc, make IL quite
clear that the Democratic nominees
are all elected, with the exception
of their compatriots, Mr.. McCafferty,
who made hard fight to beat the
present Republican incumbent as
inspector of mines and was de-
feated; and Charles Deadly, who
was beaten for surveyor-general by
George B. Russell. To show that
the Republicans are not hard losers
it is sufficient to say that they are
deriving no little consolation from
the fact that they were thus able
to escape the odium of being
"skunked," with two winners to
their credit.

In this county no startling sur

though there was chance, it was
thought by some, for the retire

to persuade themselves that they
could split the opposition vote, three
ways and encompass his defeat,
passeth understanding. The vote in
the long term commissioners race
shows, quite conclusively, that if
the protest vote registered against
Bell had been concentrated and
given to any one of his opponents,
he would have been beaten by a
majority of 92 votes, making it
plain that about eight per cent,
more than a majority, of the people
were of the opinion that Bell should
be retired from active service. On
