hold BooTLEGGERs

Riot guns, heavily armed patrols,
and a system of admission only be
cardboard passes, is included in the
order OF events and procedure at
dry enforcement headquarters of
the United States government at
Washington. Bootleggers h a We
threatened to burn the building in
order to destroy the damaging eyi-
dence it contains. Another reason
Tor apprehension on the part of the
authorities is due to information
that powerful bootlegging interests
of the country have been planning
to swoop down upon the building
aud seize the great stores of contls-
Gated booze that is housed there. All
the war time precautions have been
restored at this branch of the inter
nal revenue bureau. The officials de-
clare that the bootleggers are be-
coming more aggressive than ever,
and they do not minimize the fact
that they believe the situation in
Washington and elsewhere is filled
with dangers. The situation in New
ork is likewise acute, and the Fed
eral authorities find it necessary to
constantly "reorganize" the dry fore
es in the metropolis III order to
maintain an efficient organization.

Ends in Another lie

Fallon tied Lovelock ON the local
gridiron last Saturday with score
OF nothing to nothing, this making
the third tie game of the season for
the local team.
At one time Fallon was within
three inches of the goal, having av-
eraged five and six yards at a crash,
yet couldn't make the last three
inches Being Fallon's last down,
the ball went to Loyelock and was
punted out of danger.
1t was quite generally conceded
that had Balgoyen, Allen and Bailey
been playing, tailon would have
made several touchdowns. 1t is ex-
pected that Balgoyen and Allen will
play this coming Saturday at. Car
son City. In fact the game with
Carson was not scheduled until it
was learned that Allen could play.
Bailey will be unable to play the
rest OF the season.
Branch, Osgood and Ford substi-
tuted and did creditable work. Crew
does the work OF two men and Nell
son and Ellison are fast workers.
The rest of the players were Ernst,
Patterson, Kinnon, Davis, Buerer.
The last game of the season will
be on Thanksgiving Day, When it is
planned to have an all-Fallon team
play the Stewart Indians on the To-
cal gridiron.

BUSINESS FORMS A WORLD
COURT

Political governments fiddle and
fuss about problems of a world
court. arbitration OF international
disputes. shipping. booze and labor
laws, the league OF nations, disarm-
ament and treaties.
In striking contrast to all this it
is interesting to not how the busi-
ness and financial interests of the
world get together on vital interna-
tlonal matters During the early
part Of this month the International
Chamber of Commerce perfected a
plan for a board of arbitration OF
business disputes. Twenty-seven
countries are participating, and each
country will have members on the
board. There are nine from the
United states, aud they are headed
by owen D. Young, chairman of the
board of the General Electric COM
pany.
The plan Of this movement is
simple. The commercial interests
Of many lands, with many tongues,
and many interests, fail to function
normally because of confusion and
misunderstanding due to race meth
DDS and principles. Chambers OF
Commerce and business mems as
sociations presumably stand for the
best business methods in all coun-
tries. These chambers throughout
the world are TO be brought into
agreement through a board of arbi-
tration, whose membership is who'll
ly international, but in which there
is a common understanding that
awards will be promptly made in all
disputes, and that those who submit
their cases will be in honor bound
to abide by the DEGREES.
1t does not take a very long pro-
gram Of principles to grasp the
meaning Of this attompt of business
men to do for themselves In q
straightforward simple manner, the
things that the governments of the
world have been unable to bring

THE "nURRY SEASON. FOR
CONGRESS-

There are a lot OF people around
Washington who are having dreams
that Congress Will hurry up" with
tho budget and the appropriation
bills aud pass them all before March
4, at which time the session viii ad-
Journ until the Fall of 1928.
Measures besides the appropria-
ton bills TO come before Congress
viii include the soldiers bonus, the
proposed constitutional amendment
tor tax-exempt securities, farm cred
It legislation, possible consideration
OF Impeachment proceedings against
Attorney General Daughefty, and
many other things that are time
consumers. Proposed amendment OF
the Eseh-Cummins railroad law
looms large on the Congressional
horizon, and if railroad legislation
comes up. there is bound to be a
long light. There is no reason to
suspect that Congress will move any
faster this year than in other years,
or that il will have less to do. This
points very plainly to the inevitable
continuing of Congress until at least
the last of June. More probably po-
litlcal problems, including the prohi-
bition issue, will hold Congress in
session most of next summer.

Will Relieve Car
Shortage at fallon
Action by Chamber of Commerce
Brings Local Need TO Attention
of s. l.. Officials

The annual car shortage which
has reached a crisis in western states
during the past few weeks has re-
suited in seriously hampering ship
ments of hay from Fallon. Twelve
cars day for an indefinite period
are required here for the shipment
of hay alone. Through the efforts
of j. Buckley, local Southern Pacific
agent, an average OF about i've cars
a day have been placed at Fallon.
Last Thursday a telegram was
sent by the Chamber of Commerce
to G. w Luce, traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific. urging him to re-
lieve the car shortage here. In re-
ply Mr. Luce stated that his depart
ment was watching the Fallon situa-
tion closely and would do everything
possible to take care of require
ments. As a result of these efforts
twenty stock cars we're placed at
Fallon between Friday aud Sunday
for the use of hay shippers.

LOOKS FOR BONUS VICTORY

Confidence that soldiers bonus
bill would be enacted by the Con-
gress which comes into existence af-
ter March 4, is expressed in Wash
ington by legislative representatives
of the American Legion, who say
that the election clearly demonstrat-
ed that the sentiment of the country
was behind compensation legisla-
tion. With the new House to 1 in
favor of the measure, Mr.. Taylor
said, sixty-nine senators would sup
port the legislation, giving bonus
proponents a safe margin in the SEN
ate over the number needed to over
ride a Presidential veto. Mr.. John
Taylor, representative of the Legion
asserted that of nineteen Senators
up for reelection. who voted in Sep
tember for the compensation bill,
thirteen were returned to the Sem
ate Fifteen of eighteen new Sena-
tors, he added, favored the proposal.

HIGH SCHOOL IN RECEIPT
Or INTERESTING RELIC

The science department OF the
Churchill County high school has
recently taken over the care and
custody of a real locomotive and
same may be seen at any time un-
dergoing repairs in the mechanics
building.
Although a miniature locomotive,
it is BY no means a toy, having been
constructed by the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works when the Virginia &
lruckee Railway was in it infancy,
and is capable of running at COM
paratiyely high speed when in prop
er running order aud under proper
steam pressure. The locomotive and
tender measures 81 inches over all
aud runs on track OF four and one
half inches gauge.
Mr.. Airmir, president OF the
Farmers and Merchants Bank of
Reno has written Ernest Bingham
regarding its history as follows:
This Ras given to me by my
mother some twenty-five or twenty
sl1 years ago and it is supposed to
be replica of the New York, Cen
tral & Hudson River first real fast
passenger engine in use on their
lines. The engine of this model was
numbered 999, and was presumed to
be the fastest locomotive then in ex-
istence. Later on, it was given by
me to the young son of a personal
friend, young De Hart, who after
wards passed away. His father re-
turned the engine to me with the re-
quest that whenever l found a de-
serving young man, he was to have
it in case I did not wish to keep it.
This locomotive gave young DeHart
a great many pleasurable hours dur
ing his last illness and helped to
carry him through the hard period
ont of which he did not recover.
II am glad that you have taken
interest enough to place 1t in the
high school, because it win no doubt
give pleasure to a great many peo-
pie in handling it and examining IL.
To my mind, the best part Of its his
tory is the happiness that it has Civ
en- a great many young men as well
as older ones, and 1t was with great
pleasure that l took that engine to

SO that it would arrive at your door

Will Frame Potato
Grading Legislation

c. G. Swingle is leaving for Reno
this week to attend a conference of
Nevada potato growers for the pur-
pose of drawing up proposed legis-
lation establishing potato grades for
the state of Nevada The proposed
regulations will be passed upon at
the next session of the legislature.
Mr.. Swingle recently made a trip
to San Francisco for the purpose of
selling his potato crop. He found
that the chief objection to Nevada
potatoes on the San Francisco mar
ket was that they were improperly
graded or not graded at all. If all
potatoes were properly graded and
inspected before shipment they
would find a ready market it is
claimed 1t is proposed to adopt a
set of grades for Nevada similar to
those adopted by the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture which are as
follows:
U. S. Fancy No. 1 shall consist of
potatoes of one variety which are
mature, bright, we'll shaped, free
from freezing injury, soft rot, dirt
or other foreign matter, sunburn,
second growth. growth cracks, hol-
low heart. cuts, scab, blight, dry
rot, diseases, insects or mechanical
injury and other defects. The range
in size shall be stated in terms of
minimum and maximum diameters
or weight following the grade name
but in no case shall the diameter be
less than two inches.
In order to allow for variation in
cident to proper grading and hand
weight, of any lot may be below the
prescribed size, and, in addition, not
more than six per cent, by weight,
may be below the remaining re-
quirements of this grade, but not to
exceed one-third of this six per cent
tolerance shall be allowed for pota-
toes affected by soft rot.
U. S. No l shall consist of pota-
toes of similar yarietal characters
tics which are free from freezing in
jury and soft rot and from damage
caused by dirt or other foreign mat
ter, sunburn. second growth, growth
cracks, hollow heart, cuts, scab,
blight. dry rot. disease, insects or
mechanical or other means.
The diameter of potatoes of round
varieties shall not be less than one
and seven-eighths inches, and of po-
tatoes of long varieties one and
three-quarter inches.
In order to allow for variations in
cident to proper grading and hand
ling, not more than five per cent. by
weight, of any lot may be below the
prescribed size and, in addition, not
more than six per cent by weight
may be below the remaining re-
quirements of this grade but not to
exceed one-third of this six per cent

BIG SEASON FOR WINTER
SPORTS AT TRUCKEE

A big season for winter sports is
expected at Truckee this eyar, ac-
eording to Wilbur Maynard, Mana
ger of the Southern Pacific Hotel at
Truckee. Calf.
With snow on the ground and in
dications pointing to still more in
the next two weeks, it is expected
that the winter sports will be in full
swing as early as Thanksgiving Day.
Maynard states that with the
season beginning early this year, he
expects to see record crowds of visi-
tors at Truckee during the coming
winter. Scores of motion picture
companies have written him their
intention of coming to Truckee con
location" for snow and arctic scenes
In order that visitors may visit
Lake Tahoe during the winter, j. c
Hillister. Manager of Tahoe Vista
Hotel, will keep his hostelry open
throughout the season. The road
from Truckee to the lake will be
kept passable by James McIver, who
operates the mail stage. At Tahoe
City barges, motor boats and varf-
Gus other water craft will be avail
able for the nine mile trip across
the lake to Tahoe Vista Hotel.
w. b. Gelat, manager of winter
sports at Donner Lake says that he
is planning for a big season and
states that lovers of winter sports
will find royal entertainment await
ing them Ice voating, tobogganing,
skiing, iee-skating, ski joring

First Hog Shipment
10 Reno Thursday
Hog Raising Industry Declines While
Market Price Rises; Western
Packers Buy In East

l.. h. Cline made trip to Reno
last Monday and arranged with the
Nevada Packing Company, branch
of the Western Meat Company OF
California, for marketing the first
cooperative shipment OF hogs from
the Newlands Project this season.
Tne first carload consisting of one
hundred hogs averaging TWO hun
dred pounds each will go out Thurs
DAY, this week. The present market
price is 10 cents a pound t. 0. b.

The cooperative shipments are be-
ing handled on the same plan as in
previous years, each shippers hogs
Deing marked before loading and
sold as sparate lots at the packing
eompany's yards III Reno. Payments
Will be made direct to the seller. Ar
made with L. L. Cline for future
shipments.
one Of the peculiar features OF
the hog raising industry in the La
hontan valley is the steady decline
ia the number raised while at the
same time there has been a steady
rise in the market price. According
to records that Mr.. Cline has kept
since 1916 when hogs were selling
at six cents pound, there has been
a decline in production of over 90
per cent. While there is an un-
doubted profit in hog raising the
decline may be accounted for by the
fact that farmers have found dairy
ing, poultry raising and alfalfa even
more profitable. This condition is
not confined TO the Lahontan Valley
or the state of Nevada as it is a
@ell-known fact that California as
well as other western states ship in
more hogs than they produce, many
shipments coming from as far east
as Omaha.

Reductions in freight rates ON all

within Nevada, ranging as high as
90 per cent and averaging about 20
per cent, will become effective No
yember 20 on intaastate shipments
and December 81 ON interstate
movements, it was announced yes
terday by the Southern Pacific COM
pany.
The new rates, which are yolun-
tary on the part OF the Southern
Pacific, and made after consulta-
ton with shippers organizations and
public service commissions of the
states concerned, will effect a COM
plete revision of rates now in effect
In that region from the top of the
Sierra Nevada Mountains eastward
To Western Utah. They will also
iron out the present wide blanket of
class rates from Sacramento into Ne

the same scale of rates to Southern
Pacific branch line points in Nevada
as applies to main line points, how
ever, observing the principle follow
ed in California OF somewhat higher
rates for branch line hauls than for
main line hauls.
From San Francisco to Los Ange-
les, the new rates will be approx
mately the same amount in cents
per loo lbs. in each class higher
than the Sacramento rates as at
