W|NNEMUCCA BOYS
LOSE FIRST GAME
Local Girls Scheduled to Play Car
SON City Team at 3 O'clock This
Afternoon in State Tour
nament Held in Reno

The boys basketball team of the
Humboldt County High School was
eliminated in play yesterday in the
state championship tournament be-
ing held in Reno, Tonopah defeating
the local lads by score of to z.
This result leads to belief that the
game must have been fast and ex-
citing and speaks well, at least, for
the tenacity of the local players. A
report from Reno is that Tonopah
scored all eight points in the first
half of the game. Winnemucca
scored three field goals against two
by Tonopah, indicating that the
game was lost only by free basket
trials.
At late hour this afternoon
no news had been received here con-
cerning the girls game between
Winnemucca and Carson City, sched-
uled to start at o'clock, and it is
presumed delay in running off games
scheduled earlier in the day caused
a late start for the Winnemucca-
Carson game. Local fans are not
particularly apprehensive Of defeat
in this instance, however, and are
looking forward to exciting hours
when the girls go into the final
games.
Results of the tournament play
yesterday are as follows:
Elko 26, Battle Mountain 8.
Tonopah 8, Winnemucca Z.
Carson City SO, Gardnervilla 8.
Fallon 81, Wells /.
Reno 20, Virginia City IL.

WOOL WORTH HALF
MILLION DOLLARS
Harry Dunn, WooIbuyer, Tells In.
teresting Details of One of
Humboldt Cpunty's Most
Important Industries

Some interesting information in
connection with Humboldt county's
wool production was given by R.
Harry Dunn, woolbuyer, who was
here yesterday to confer with his
local representative, Ben Loinaz.
Dunn has just returned from Utah
and is en- route to California, having
practically completed contracting in
advance of shearing for this season.
In Utah, Dunn stated, he paid as
high as 36h cents a pound for
wool, being the highest price paid
for wool SO far this year, but this
was for choice, long-staple wool of
a variety not grown in Nevada.
While on his wool-buying trip,
Dunn said, he has been amazed to
witness concrete evidence of coming
prosperity for livestock men, stating
that he has seen sheep sell for as
high as $40 head, with lambs in
Wyoming commanding $3.50. In
Utah he witnessed a sale of beef
steers at TN cents, which means
each animal was valued at about
$95, where short time before $50
head had been considered all that
could be obtained, though of course
inadequate to meet costs of pro-
duction.
While not giving out for publica-
tion the exact amount of money he
has advanced on wool contracts, at
so cents per head, Dunn made it
plain that the total in Nevada comes
to a handsome figure and should
result in considerable liquidation of
debt.
With characteristic woolbuyer's
pessimism, however, Dunn said wool
is being taken from bond and sold
for $l.55 clean and delivered. He
calculates that wool selling here for
29 cents must bring $1.65 clean in
Boston, and said that this with
drawal of wool frsn bond has
tendency to- "knock" the wool mar
ket. Department of agriculture re-
ports, however, state there is an
emphatic wool shortage and for that
reason the condition Dunn COM
plains of may be but temporary.
Dunn's figures show consumption of
wool in the United States to be $50
million pounds annually, with only
259 million pounds produced do
mestically. The balance is imported
principally from Australia and South
America. Price in future depends
largely upon tariff legislation.
Dunn states that in one deal re-
Gently completed in Elko he con-
tracted for ninety per cent of the
wool grown in that county,, while
in this county the business was split
up so extensively no percentage fig
ures are obtainable.
Figures obtained from the two
transcontinental railroad stations in
this city show that 1,6s0,000 pounds
of wool were shipped from this
point last year. This amount of
wool, at prevailing prices, if shipped
this year, will result in $500,000
being brought into this community.
This amount, however, is not cor
rectly indicative of the scope of the
wool industry here, for the reason
that wool shipped from other rail-
road points should properly be in
cluded in Humboldt county's pro-
duction.

sHEEHAN TALKED
At c. OF c. LUNCH
Gave Members of Organization
Something to Think About in
Connection With Present
Needs of Community

Senator J. Sheehan upset some
pet theories and gave those in at
tendance at the Chamber of Com
merce luncheon yesterday noon
something new to think about when
he took up a number of matters of
great Importance to this community.
He said in part:
at seems out of place to have
a banker talk about livestock, but
in this community the livestock in
dustry is the backbone of all ac-
tivity. A few years ago it was said
that man with good saddle horse
and a rope could become success
full range man with plenty of work,
but conditions have changed. 1t
now requires capital, knowledge of
the business, skill and proper man.
agement to handle stock, and the
industry is one of the most interest
ing of any in the west.
"At the present time Nevada is
fairly well stocked with both cattle
and sheep, comparing with other
western states as 100 per cent
against so per cent. During the
last two years, however, the live
stock industry has been hit hard.
Many stockmen went broke and
didn't know it. 1t has been anus
ing to listen to men talking and
saying conditions were not bad
like listening to a man whistling
while walking through a grave yard.
Sheep have been sold at 81 and SIS
a head that today are bringing $40,
while wool is now selling at % to
80 cents a pound that a year ago
was not bringing half the present
price.
with cattlemen losses have been
smaller than has been the case with
sheepmen. General conditions in
the cattle industry, however, are far
from satisfactory. For. instance,
since Christmas and to March l all
calves have been lost and general
losses in this state, from this and
other causes, have run from $780,
900 to $150,000 yearly. In future
believe that ingenuity will take
care of that loss. As it is today
vast ranges are inaccessible to stock
principally because of the lack of
water. There are many different
forages available, but miles upon
miles cannot be used because of
no water is abailable. In time to
come l believe artificial watering
places will be provided and make a
prediction that thirty years hence
will find every acre Of this forage
utilized. Science and necessity of
the times will find a way. Also l
believe bands of sheep will be di-
vided and that flocks Of few hun
dred head will be cared for by in
dividual owners.
"As l see the livestock industry
the greatest drawback it has to con-
tend with is legislation and politics.
Tariff is up and then down, result
ing in continued disturbance. Some
day this will be adjusted and some-
thing definite may then be depended
upon to make the industries solid.
For instance, a few years ago hides
were worth considerable money, but

is apparent from the letters that
stockmen are heartily in accord
with the intent of the law and are
pleased to see it enforced.

LEGION MEN HELD BLOW
OUT HERE LAST NIGHT
Members of Vernon Robins Post,
American Legion, had an enjoyable
time at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms last night, where the organi-
zation will hold future meetings on
the first and third Wednesday nights
of each month. District Attorney
L. G. Wilson acted as POSTMASTER
and delivered the principal address
of the evening, calling upon each
of the members present for short
talks. The affair broke up at mid
night and members today report an
instructive and interesting evenings
enjoyment.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
because of tariff legislation it cost
more last year to skin a carcass
than the hide was worth.
''In the matter Of financing the
livestock industry | am firmly con-
vinced that if it had not been for
the help of the War Finance Corpor-
alton results would have been seri-
Gus. It is not the actual money
brought into the state of Nevada
that helped so much as did money
used in other western states, which
stabilized conditions, created favor
able price and sent buyers here for
livestock. As you perhaps all know,
l am a member of the San Fran
cisco committee of the War Finance
Corporation. The members of this
committee held meeting for the
purpose of surveying conditions in
the Pacific states. The result of
that meeting was the finding of
what what termed three "high
spots" in Idaho, Montana and Ari-
zona, with eastern Oregon possibly
included. 1t was feared by the COM
mittee that during the month of
March the livestock men of those
three states would be forced to IL
quidate, thus breaking down all of
the work of the committee and re-
sulting in chaos in the industry
caused by low prices. Two men
were appointed to give full atten-
tion to these three "high spots" and
tremendous amounts of money were
put into those states. There has
actually been only $248,000 of War
Finance Corporation funds brought
into Nevada, for one reason because
financial institutions have been able
to handle the situation. Bankers
have also been reluctant to indorse
each loan, and this is one of the
requirements of the corporation.
We are anxious to have bankers
take advantage of money provided
by the corporation, but proper Sc
curity must of course be offered.
Stock men must be solvent to Sc
cure loans and in cases where they
are solvent they can have all the
money wanted.
81 am now working to organize
a livestock loan association, to take
care of necessities in Elko, Eureka,
Lander and Humboldt counties. If
successful we will be capitalized at
500, 900, which will permit use of
81 100000 of War Finance Corpora
tion money. If a bill in Congress
passes use of that money will be ex-
tended from three to four years, at
7h per cent, the government to
charge 5a per cent interest and
the local association to receive 2
per cent for handling the business.
If completed, headquarters for the
loan association will be maintained
in Winnemucca.
"Seeing as | do the possibilities
of the livestock industry, l of
course recognize the need of good

l do not oppose such building and
l want to see a good road east and

that.
another thing that pertains to
Winnemucca: Before the war, an
application was filed with the state
engineer for permission to store the
flood waters of the Humboldt river,
and that application is still pending.
The engineer says it is project
for government undertaking rather
than for individuals. Since l was a
little boy l have travelled up and
down that river, and l have always
heard of government irrigation
projects in connection with it. l
have no confidence in any project
talked of to cost nine million dol
lars and Nevada will never get it
during my lifetime.
"There are 10000 acre feet of
water that can be saved east of
Winnemucca and put into a canal
that will irrigate 10000 acres of
land in Grass Valley and toward
Rose Creek that is adaptable to cul-
tivation, at a cost of less than half
million dollars. The year the ap-
plication was filed $4,000 acre feet
of water ran past this city to Love
lock and 100000 acre feet of it
was lost in the Carson sink. With
reservoir built 10000 acre feet
could be saved each year and put
onto land at cost of $15 to SIS
per acre, representing the cost OF
the reservoir and canal. ! am in
formed that government irrigation
project water charges run as high
as $160 per acre. l have just writ

that action be taken on this appli-
