PRICE REDUCTION
IN p. O. SUPPLIES

Postmaster Gates informs the pub
lie that stamped envelopes. which the
Postoffice Department formerly sold
at four for a dime. are now selling at
four for nine cents, or eleven for "a
cents instead of eleven for quarter
and so on up the line.
You can now mail a newspaper
weighing four ounces to Europe for
one cent. This Is a reduction of fifty
per cent. as the former rate was two
ounces for one cent.
Thus the Postoffice Department is
doing it's bit In the evolution toward
normalcy.
The reduction in the price of
stamped envelopes Is the first cut in
first class postoffice stock since the
three cent stamp introduced at the
beginning of the war, as the mini
mum rate on this class of mail. was
eliminated.
The Department has advised that
newspapers addressed to Europe
must be separately wrapped.

NYE COUNTY AFTER
FOREIGN SHEEPMEN

Tonopah Times: vicenesio VAL
encia, Basque sheepherder owning
a band of $500 head of sheep ranging
in the vicinity of Duckwater, was cit
ed Wednesday to appear in the JUS
tice court to answer the charge of not
certifying to the Clerk of Nye Coun-
ty when his sheep arrived in this
county, and how many we're included
in the flock. The law provides that
sheep shall be taxed in the county
where they are found grazing on the
first of January. 1t is alleged that
Valencia has been Ia Nye County
since December 20 and therefore
should properly be assessed In this
county, besides paying the annual
sheep license to Nye County. De-
fendant came from Eureka County,
where he declares he paid both IL
cense fees and taxes. The license fee
is $50 per 1000 head and the tax to
which the owner is liable In this
county would mean an additional
$54O. BY paying in Eureka County
Valencia would effect a considerable
saving as the tax rate Is much lower.
This evasion is said to be COM
mon occurrence as outside fiockmas-
ters take advantage of the splendid
Winter grazing in Nye to drive in and
clean up the desert pastures. 1t is
estimated that over 10000 sheep
enjoy Winter feeding of Nye County,
and Sheriff Thomas believes these
owners should be made to pay for the
privilege which they enjoy. Some OF
these bands have. ranged close to
town around the Divide district. In
the vicinity of Liberty seven bands OF
1000 each are grazing this Winter,
and other fiocks, ranging in number
from 5000 to 10000, are scattered
through. the eastern end of the coun-

pound packages of Sudan grass seed.
These will be mailed directly to the
ranchers from the Department ware
house, accompanied by circular CIV
ing full instructions regarding cul-
ture of the crop.
Each package will contain guam
tity of seed sufficient for satisfac-
tory field test. Under a Department
ruling only one package of variety
will be sent to an applicant. He may
have( the three varieties, II desired.
RanAhers are invited by their Rep

STOLEN SHEEP RECOVERED

Isadore Sara was in Eureka We'd
nesday and reported that the zoo and
odd head of sheep cut out and ap-
propriated by rustlers from a Eureka
Livestock Co. band on Christmas
night, had been returned.
While one of the company bands
was being herded near Moore's Sta
ton, about 20 miles south of the
point from where the sheep were
stolen, the company herder noticed a
small band of sheep come over hill,
and upon examination found they
were Eureka Live Stock Co. sheep,
and those missing. The animals were
in good condition. and there were
some 40 more than were thought to
have been stolen.
Mr.. Sara says the rustlers evident
ly decided they could not get out of
the southern country with the stolen
sheep and decided to turn them back.
He had not learned II the other two
sheep outfits that had sheep stolen at
the same time had recovered the an
imals.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

The members of the English class
es have been writing stories of local
color-the best to be sent to Dean
Halls wife of the University of Ne
vada. OF those submitted, Thelma
Romano's, Walter Mann's, Annie
Porch's and Jean Davis's have been
especially good.
Quite a few have been absent from
the high school on account of sick
ness, but we hope that they will be
back in time to take the mid-year
exams next week-a pleasure which
many are looking forward to.
The Educational Review is respon-
sible for the conservative statement
that there were 100000 vacancies
filled with unqualified teachers this
year. Only $4,000 vacancies this
year were filled with fully and par
TALLY equipped teachers. This means
that the education OF the students un-
der these teachers is impaired by at
least 40% OF what 1t would be IL those
new recruits were qualified for their
positions. II the 10000 who filled
vacancies last year was the total OF
unprepared teachers the situation
would not be so serious, but 1t was
the same the year before and will be
the next year to nearly as great an
extent. America is going to do some
thing about that situation and do II
quickly. The teaching staff must be
as expert in their profession as physi-
clans and surgeons are in theirs.

SALT THE SIDEWALKS

Few persons, evidently. are aware
of the remarkable efficiency Of COM
mon, coarse salt in dissolving ice and
trodden snow from the sidewalks, the
porch steps. the garage doorway and
other places, and in taking away the
hard work of cleaning. and the phys
places. Practically every snowfall is
deposited in comparatively mild
weather, followed by more or less
sharp cold snap. The snow cannot be
removed entirely as 1t falls. hence 1t
is trodden down and frozen into an
icy mass.
Doorways are clogged. porch steps
are rendered dangerous, especially IL
the caves have been dripping previ-
ously, down-pipes are clogged, and
other ice formations are found which
require prompt removal or allevia-
tion. Light snow shovels are too
fiimsy, and heavy shovels, picks or
other heavy, sharp implements are
pretty sure to leave their marks on
the parts to be cleaned, and to dam
age the wood steps, sills and other
parts. The tools themselves will be
damaged on the cement or stone side
walks; and there is not only q great
deal of hard work in the process, but
the spaces will remain slick and dan
gerous even after cleaning II the tenn
peratures be lower than freezing.
According to the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, a few cents worth of ungraded,
coarse salt will dissolve in an aston
ishingly few minutes thick icy layer
of trodden snow, caves drippings and
other icy formations about the en-
tire premises of an average home.
The tendency will be to sprinkle the
salt on too heavily; even when four
or five inches of snow have been
packed down into an icy layer, a very
thin sowing of the salt will suffice,
and II the walk be sloping, the brine
will move slowly downgrade under
the general layer on the cement. Ev-
en- IL the temperature is around zero,
the explosive, popping action of the
salt, as it burrows. like something
alive, down through the snow and
ice, will bring great satisfaction and
surprising results. The process may
be far less productive of a breakfast
appetite, but nevertheless 1t will also
be less productive of scars on the
wood surfaces and on the hands of
the householder.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
FROM SERIOUS INJURY

Martin Elorga, of the sheep firm
of Elorga & Segura. now believes
that he was born under a lucky star
While on his way from Eureka to his
sheep camp In Antelope Valley We'd
nesday with a four-horse load of
grain and supplies. he stopped at
DEVILS Gate for lunch. He was short
ly afterwards joined by Isadore Sara,
and while they we're eating, Ben AL
lison came along with a couple of
pack horses. Elorga's team became
frightened at the pack horses, and he
rushed out and caught the leaders as
they started, but they lunged, knocked
him down and the team ran away and
over him. The wagon also passed
over him, but all the wheels missed
his head and several portions Of his
body stepped on by the horses. he es-
capped serious injury and without hav-
ing any bones broken.
Isadore Sara at once took Elorga
to his car and brought him into Eu-
reka and had DIR. Bremen attend to
his injuries.
Allison finally headed and captured
the team, but not before they had
broken one of the wheels and other
wise damaged the wagon. The grain
and supplies were promiscuously dis
tributed. but most of the latter were
recovered.
Elorga is feeling pretty good over
his narrow escape from serious in
jury or death, and Is not worrying
over the damage to the outfit.

$4,000 EXPENDED
IN COYOTE DRIVE

During the year 1921 the State
and Federal government expended
$52,562.32 in Nevada in its preda-
tory animal campaign and for rodent
control, according to the annual re-
port of e. r. Sans, biological assist
ant, who has charge of the work for
the Federal government and for the
State Rabies Commission. OF this
amount the State expended SIT, ,090.-
21 and the Federal government $35,-
472.71, indicating that the States
expense in the work was as,out half
that of the Federal government.
This was true for the calendar year
1921, but the Federal year is based
on the fiscal year from June to June
and the expenditure of money from
the two sources will be evened up by
next June.
During the year SITS predatory
animals were killed, the majority of
them being coyotes. OF this number
1887 we're taken by State hunters
and 1889 by Federal hunters. In the
rodent campaign 36,208 pounds of
poison were distributed, from which
the State received a return of $2,-
543.82, which went back into the
rodent fund.
In the State fund available for
1922 there remains balance now of
$10,1S4.79. The appropriation for
1922 was $7725 and with the $2543
refund from the sale of poisoned
grain the State has a total of $780,
453.61 remaining for the work this
year. So far $11,400 has been ap-
propfiated by the counties, making
a total of about 1880, which will
be matched dollar for dollar with
Federal funds, giving total of $685.
900 for carrying on the work this
year.
During the month of December,
according to the monthly bulletin, the
average catch per man was 80 ami
mails. Forty-six hunters were work
ing and took 351 coyotes and 79 bob
cats.
"This average is far below the No
vember catch, caused partly by few
er animals to be taken and stormy
weather during the latter half of the
MONTH" says the bulletin. Hunter
]. J. Grimes, Yerington. is high man
for the month, taking 22 predatory
animals; G. C. Friel, Gerlach, a close
second took FL. These hunters were
working traps and poison at the same
time. The majority of the animals
taken were poisoned. Hunter Friel
trapped one bobcat and poisoned 20
coyotes. Others who caught the av-
erage of 80 or better are: o. A. Toll

PRICE OF WOOL 3
SHOWS INCREASE

President Jerry Shehan of the
Farmers and Merchants National

Monday from Winnemucca to Cashier
Travers of the Eureka bank advising
price for wool, and stating that the
sheepmen Of this section should re-
ceive rs cents per pound for their
Spring wool Z. o. b. Eureka.
In connection with this brighten
ing outlook for Nevada sheepmen,
the following is taken from the Reno
Gazette of January "a:
Prices for wool continue to in
crease according to Eastern market
papers and reports of sales in the
West. AS high as twenty-seven and
twenty-eight cents is reported to have
been paid recently for three-eightbs
blood wool in Idaho and few choice
clips are reported sold as high as
thirty cents. s. w. Mcclure. former
ly secretary of the National Wool
Growers Association and now en-
gagged in the sheep business in Idaho,
is placing the price for Idaho woods
at shearing time as high as thfrty-five
cents.
Generally speaking, but few Ne
vada clips have as yet been contract
ed" said Vernon Metcalf. secretary
of the Nevada Live Stock Associa-
ton "The few contracted so far
are pretty we'll to coarse rather than
fine wools, in which class the major
part of Nevada woods is placed and
which class is carrying the higher
price. These sales have shown a fif-
ty per cent advance over 1921 prices
Fine staple has jumped from a
top price of eighty-eight cents per
pound clear to top quotation of 81
on the Boston market during the past
two weeks. Foreign markets are also
reported strong. Leading authorities
in Nevada are urging local growers
not to contract under present condi.
