the plan is often condemned on this

Obviously, this is knocking a good

that he Is often a night driver and
that it is to aid him when danger Is
greatest that the plan Of making the
highway itself the warning sign has
been evolved. 1t is assumed that IL

], SHEEHAN CAVE
1922 STOCK PRICES
In an Interview With Eureka Edi-
tor He Told of the Advances
of Late Weeks That Spell
Prosperity Here

]. Sheehan, president of the
Farmers and Merchants bank Of
Eureka, was here this week to at
tend the annual meeting. Mr.. Shee-
han is quite optimistic regarding
the future general business out
look, and especially that of the
livestock industry, says the Eureka
Sentinel. He estimates that the
average cow on the range is now
worth $45 or $50. Owing to the
fact that the winter is SO far ad-
vanced he feels that $50 would be
a more nearly accurate statement
Of estimate.
Advanced prices are experienced
by sheepmen also, according to Mr..
Sheehan. Sheep have advanced So
and 81 per head and good range
eve is now worth $40.
Mr.. Sheehan states that wool
buyers in the western part of the
state are now contracting for the
next wool clip at 20 cents per
pound for all year grown wool and
he hopes to see this prize increased
within the very near future. The
outlook in the sheep business is
excellent, owing to the facts that
there has been heavy falls of snow
and the weather has been fine, the
sheep are fat which means that
they will give off a long clean
wool fiber when next shearing time
rolls around.
The storms in California and
elsewhere have made a brisk de-
naand for sheep to feed; there is
no drought, and money is becom-
ing easier and the growers are find
ing themselves in a position to fl
nance themselves. Mr.. Sheehan is
firmly of the conviction that the
northern Nevada stock industry
will be on a firm footing again by
next fall, although he expects that
times will be dull until shearinp
time which usually starts in this
latitude in March or April.

RAILROADS LARGEST
EMPLOYERS IN STATE

The railroads paid the sum of
$500, 1858 to Nevada employees in
October, and approximately $9,051,-
10000 during the year 1921, &C.
cording to totals compiled by Frank
W. Ingram, state commissioner of

The Southern Pacific employed 1897
persons in Nevada, to whom more
than five million dollars were paid
in salaries and wages. Mr.. Migrants
tables show that the Virginia &

FIREMEN RESPONDED WELL
DESPITE COLD WEATHER

A fire alarm was turned in last
night from the Ruckteschler house.
between Second and Third streets on
Monroe, an incipient blaze arising
from the woodwork around a terra
Gotta fue. Notwithstanding the
acute cold the fire siren had barely
terminated its blasts when the city's
truck moved out Of the city build
ing with Driver Berk in charge and
thirteen members Of the volunteer
system grouped about on the fast
moving vehicle. A quick run to
Third and Monroe followed, where
some confusion resulted from the
absence Of anyone to direct the con-
tingent to the scene of the blaze.
Fire Chief Guy Asbury calls at
tention to the fact that in such in
stances someone should be present
to direct the fire department to the
actual scene of fires, which may, be-
cause Of the manner in which the
city is divided into districts, be one
or even two blocks from the desig-
mated street intersection.
Last nights fire was attended
with little loss, said Mr.. Asbury
this afternoon.

MARK SPECULATORS
PA. GERMAN DEBTS

The London Outlook prints the
following interesting comment upon
the decline of the German mark:
1.-THE whole note circulation OF
the German Reich, calculated on a
basis of 1900 to the pound, repre-
sents less than 4s0,000,000. Meas
,,red in actual exchange value at the
moment, the German note issue Is
one-fifth that of Great Britain!
Still more astonishing, the gold re-
serve of the Reichsbank amounts to
nearly 100000, 900, so that the to-
tai circulation of notes in Germany
at the present exchange rates is COW
cred by gold to the extent OF fifteen
shillings to the pound. Mr., Keynes
contends, with sardonic humor, that
foreign spectators have paid much
more than the whole Of the German
indemnity to date by their kindness
in buying marks. Early this year
il was estimated that 30 millard
marks were held abroad, bought at
an average price Of perhaps 200
marks to the pound. Accordingly
the holders of this pile Of paper
paid for it roughly f250,00O,OO0,
and at 1900 to the pound the 30
billiards are now worth 100000

NJ DERMITT NEWS
IN BREEZY STYLE

McDERMITT, Jan. 17.-Twelve
degrees below zero one morning
last week. The weather has since
moderated. About three inches Of
snow covers the ground.
Mrs. Low entertained at dinner
last Thursday, the guests including
Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford and son,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lyons, Miss Lyons,
Mesdames Baber, Hill, Shelgren and
Monsiuers Bowman, Montgomery.
Several others were present whose
names were not obtained. After a
splendid dinner which reflected
great credit upon the chef, cards
were played, interpreted with musi-
cal selections. All enjoyed them
selves greatly and were sorry when
time came to say goodnight"
The three younger sons Of Mr..
and Mrs. Bankofier have moved to
town for the remainder of the term.
The little fellows found ride of
five miles to school every morning
somewhat too bracing. They are
domiciled at the home Of Mrs.
Vargas.
Will Minor runs the official school
cart. It's surely wonderful the ca
pacity of that cart-also Mr.. Minors
heart. He has to travel a very
crooked trail to get them all, but
none is overlooked.
Not long ago two Of our towns
men went prospecting (for radium,
likely up McDermitt creek. While
many miles from human habitation
they had the misfortune to break
through the ice and had to walk
several miles for help. It is not
known whether they found the lead
or not, but they discovered to their
own satisfaction that McDermitt
creek is not half as dry as the town.
Mrs. Will Minor gave a birthday
party to celebrate the fifth anniver-
sary of her little daughter Ruth.
Several little friends were enter
tanned, among others being Miss
Lyons and Miss Hewitt. The little
folk were chaperoned by the moth
ers, Mrs. Hewitt and Mrs. Lyons,
who enjoyed the party quite as
much as the little ones. All de-
parted after a pleasant afternoon,
wishing the little girl "many happy
returns"
Ice hauling is quite the order of
the day here, from the appearance
Of the huge loads being brought
into town. McDermitt people are
surely preparing for a long, long
drouth next summer.
Several skating parties have been
enjoyed recently, the ice never hav-
ing been better. Yes, we really have
enough water here to make ice.
Master Stuart Croteau gave a
birthday dinner to a number of his
SAiaA lIicHuS, III houor VI his
twelfth birthday, last Sunday. The
day was spent mostly in feasting, in
terspersed with a few free-for-alls,
after which the guests departed, de-
claring Stuart a liberal entertainer
and his mother a most impartial
referee, while Miss Gebhart, who
presided at the punch bowl, was
voted the "best ever" The way
she served red soda and pink lemon
ad showed much experience at many
church socials and Sunday school
picnics, far removed from McDer-
mitt's arid regions. No casualties
have been reported SO far.

THE AFFAIRS OF ANATOL"
WAS A SPLENDID PICTURE


Record crowds turned out to the
American theatre Monday and Tues
day nights to see "The Affairs of
Anatol," which is regarded as one
Of the greatest screen productions
in the history of the film industry.
Bebe Daniels, Wanda Hawley, Clio
ria Swanson, Wallie Reid and Monte
Blue, all stars Of the first magni-
tude, were grouped within a char
acterization plot that, although un.
likely to happen in everyday life
carried phases which were so splen-
didly interpreted by the artists in
the roles that the picture can prop
erly be catalogued as masterpiece.
Incidentally, it carries lessons, or
silent preachments, that serve
to awaken within every man and
woman who sees it q determination
to avoid the shadows that Turk along
the primrose path, which gets I'M
prudent wayfarers with an inevita-
bility that cannot be avoided.
Wallie Reid, as Anatol, assumes
the dual roles of hero and villain
and does exceedingly well in both.
The climax brings him and Gloria
Swanson, as his faithful wife, sur,
cease from involvement, and, Of
course, everybody is happy down to
the lowly yamp and her consorts
who have prominent places, in the
screen portrayal.

HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
DEFEATS TOWN TEAM

The unattached Winnemucca bas-
ketball quintet lost last night to the
boys who represent the Humboldt
county high school in a poppy con-
test on the court at the high school
gymnasium. The final score was
6O-32. It should be said, however,
that the town team was not made
up wholly of regular players, and
this perhaps explains for a poor
showing. The high school boys
played in their old-time form and
INDUCED trick plays which they
hope will win them the state inter-
scholastic championship.

stir up the compost in about the
