YEA, BUT WHO WANTS
THREE PER CENT BONDS?-

It is only recently that surplus
state funds have been diverted to
constructive uses within Nevada and
the benefits are so apparent, the
Republican Winnemucca Silver State
admits, that one is moved to wonder
why those in control of state affairs
in the years agone should have been
SO short-sighted as to lend moneys
entrusted to them outside of the
state for investment.
The Silver States comment fol
lows the wonder why 1852, 900 of
the taxpayers money is invested in
Massachusetts three per cent state
bonds?
Efforts are being made continu-
ally, The Silver State may be in
formed, by the present state adj
ministration, to dispose of the for
eign bonds, which are nothing more
than a financial loadstone around
the neck of Nevada. No profitable
solution of the problem has pre-
scented itself and the bonds are
necessarily kept as part of the
states assets, when other bonds is
sued within the state-the Mineral
county seven per cent bonds, for
instance-would be found more than
twice as profitable.
The Massachusetts, bonds were
purchased when rates of interest
were not so high and they will be
disposed of when they can be sold
or traded without money loss to the
state.-Carson Appeal.

ELK0 WANTS EXTRA
DRY ENFORCEMENT

The Elko county grand jury
brought in partial report Satur-
day night and then adjourned sub
ject to call either by the foreman
or Judge Taber, says the Elko Free
Press.
1t is known that a great many
witnesses were called during the two
weeks the jury was in session, and
from the report it is also very evil
dent that the testimony brought be-
fore them was not conclusive, as
they state that they are still inves-
tigating the booze and dope situa-
ton. They report that they recon-
mend that additional officers be Sc
cured to assist in the proper en-
forcement of the prohibition law,
and along this line it is reported
that they have instructed the district
attorney to consult with the COVER
nor and have him name a man in
Elko county to serve in the capacity
of state policeman for this county
alone, the county to bear all ex-
penses of such officer, who is to as
sist the officers and to use his own
powers to stamp out the bootleggers
and bring to justice the men who
are growing rich in making and SELL
ing illicit booze and dispensing mar
cotic drugs. While the jury made
no public announcement we are told
that the man selected is Nels Ouder-
kirk, who has served as constable
for two terms and who is known to
every person in this county. There
is not the least doubt in the world
but Mr.. Ouderkirk will receive the
hearty cooperation of every officer
and citizen in this county who has
the good of the community at heart
and who desires to see the prohibi-
ton law enforced. 1t will be some
days before he receives his commits
sion. H
The jury further recommended
that a proper curfew ordinance be
adopted and enforced by the board
Of city supervisors of Elko.

CITY DRY LAW TO BE
n ATTACKED IN RENO

Reno's prohibition ordinance which

time of its adoption last October

Charles Sloan, arrested for having
a still in his possession will be
tried at Reno.
It is understood that the consti-
tutionality of the ordinance will be
attacked and that the jurisdiction
of the city will be questioned. Sloan

WESTERN PACIFIC STOLEN
, GOODS FOUND IN ELKo CO.

With the arrest of George H. Mil
Ter, Elko officers believe they have
captured one of the ring-leaders of
gang which has been stealing from
Western Pacific freight trains dur
ing the past year. At the time the
arrest was made large amount of
goods were found cached away in
the fruit cellar on the Dave Wicks
ranch in Glover Valley, including
about one thousand overalls, thou
sand pairs of ladies' hose, nine car
tons of shoes and any amount OF
bolt dress goods, according to the
Free Press.
There is no suspicion attached to
the owner of the ranch, as it ap-
pears that last summer and fall two
men who were employed on the
ranch would borrow the car to GO
to Wells. They would go to the sta
ton, board an outgoing freight
break open boxcar and dump some
of the freight alongside the track,
then jump off and gather up the
goods and carry them to the ranch
and hide them. Some weeks age
they sold some of their stolen goods
and it was through this source that
the men were located. One side of
the sheriff's office today is taken up
with the recovered goods. Miller
is in Jail and will be brought to trial
for stealing goods from a boxcar.

NEVADA FAILS ON
COLORADO WATER

Restriction of acreages of land
to be irrigated through development
of the Colorado river within each
state was rejected by representatives
of Utah and Colorado and this re-
lection resulted in deadlock among
members Of the Colorado river COM
mission at the Washington meeting
within the last few days, according
to j. C. Scrugham, state engineer,
who attended the conference as a
representative from Nevada and af-
terward made a statement to the
press of this state.
Scrugham returned to the state
capital few days ago from the
national capital and Immediately be-
gan the preparation of counter pro-
posal to be made to the commits
sion in the effort to secure an
agreement among the several states
interested.
The restriction of these acreages
is necessary, points out Scrugham,
as the normal low water run off
of the Colorado river is already ap-
propriated. The concurrence of the
upper states to this restriction is
necessary in advance of the consent
by the states on the lower river to
the adoption of a large irrigation
program, it has been said, and if
any expensive irrigation develop
ments were initiated for the upper
states they would undoubtedly be
enjoined by the states lying along
the lower reaches of the Colorado.
All additional developments would
be held up through litigation.
To this the Colorado and Utah
representatives would not agree and
the conference ended in a deadlock
with the consequent calling off of
the visit planned by Herbert Hoover
the chairman, and other members
of the commission to Las Vegas
and the Boulder Canyon dam site.
The plan now being drawn up by
Scrugham to meet the objections
of the Colorado and Utah men
will be submitted to the commission
and it is hoped that it will be
adopted.

HOW ISRAEL PUTNAM OUT
WITTED THE INDIAN BEAR"

In 1858, while General Lyman's
army was encamped near Fort Edward,
n. Y, during the French and Indian
war, sentinels at one outpost began
TO disappear mysteriOusly. Night after
nighl a soldier was posted there and
the next morning could not be found.
Only the bravest men In the army
were selected for this post. General
Lyman gave orders for them TO call out
"Who goes there?" three times, if they
heard any noise, and then If no answer
came, to fire. But the disappearances
continued until his men were panic
stricken and refused to take such
dangerous station.
At last Israel Putnam, member OF
Major Rogers rangers, volunteered to
60 on guard at that place and solve
the mystery. One hot summer night
he heard a rustling in the leaves
nearby. The sounds were those
Of an animal scuffiing about on the
ground for food and, peering through
the darkness, Putnam saw by the faint
starlight a huge creature, which he
recognized as a bear, slowly sham
bling toward him.
Something in the bears gait aroused
the scouts suspicion. Putnam obeyed
the generals orders. He challenged
three times and then fired. A loud
groaning and struggling noise followed
and when the scout rushed forward
he found the bear In its death agony.
Then he turned the animal over. In
closed in the shaggy skin still clutch
ing a tomahawk but stone dead, lay
a giant Indian.
The mystery was solved. The other
sentinels had believed it was real
bear they heard and allowed the dar'
ing warrior to get near enough TO use
his tomahawk before they learned
their mistake. No more sentinels dis
appeared.
Some time after this event, Putnam
was captured by the Indians, wht
started to burn him at the stake. JUS
m the flames began to scorch his buck
skin garments, heavy rain begai
TO fall and put out the fire. The saw
ages collected more dry wood ant
again began the torture. But agar
they were foiled.
A French officer appeared upon tn
scene, dashed through the ring o
fame, kicked the blazing brands RICH
and left and released the scout, telling
the Indians that he must send Putnam
to Montreal to be questioned by Gen
eral Montcalm. Putnam was he'll
in Canada until an exchange Of prison
ers allowed him to return to his hom
and he lived to become a famous gen
eral in the Revolution.

give comfort to you and your children
and your chiIdren's children.
Shelter and shade are two of the
blessings the trees give us. In these
DAYS of the scarcity and high price or
fuel for our homes and schools, trees
are an asset as windbreaks. A group
of trees on the windward side of your
building keeps II warm against the
cold blasts.
The heat of summer is bearable
with scattered trees and their shade
along your paths. The attractiveness
! of any place is enhanced by trees.
With little care you can plant
memory trees on home grounds, street
| school lawns, or parks.
Trees cool and purify the air. Pub
lie forests have been used for health
resorts because of the trees. If you
plant few trees together, happy
groups here and there, they will re
