MARCH A MONTH OF.
VARYING WEATHER.
March Was Featured By Cold But
One Degree Less Than the Mini
mum for the Month Over

March figure over a forty-four year
period, which is 81 above.
The total precipitation for the
month was .79 of an inch, which
came in the form of snow, the re-
corded snow depth being 40 inches.
The normal precipitation for the
month is .95 of an inch. March
precipitation brought the total seas
onal precipitation covering the per-
iod from September 1, to COS
inches, as compared to the normal
precipitation for the period of
5.51 inches.
The greatest daily range in tenn
perature in March was thirty-six
degrees on the 18th, and the least

NJ NARY SMITH
BILL UP SOON
Great Proposal of Particular In
terest to Ex-Servics Men VIII
Be Voted ON This Week
in Congress of US.

War veterans everywhere have
taken a keen interest in the con-
gressional treatment of the McNary-
Smith land reclamation bill which
was ordered out Of the committee
in the house of representative on
Monday, April 8. The terms of
this bill deal very literally with
ex-service men, providing a prefer
ance right to both employment on
irrigation works, constructed under
its provisions, and to filing on
lands reclaimed.
A revolving fund is to be pro-
vided, which would be established
first by the sale of government
bonds to the amount Of $3.50, ,00O,-
900. These bonds would draw in-
terest at a rate not to exceed five
per cent per annum and would be
issued in denominations Of $26, $50,
500, $500 and $1,000, this form
of investment offering being aimed
for the American public.

WINTER RETURNS FOR
A BRIEF STAY HERE

A wintry weather influence, more
or less modified over the blasts of
January but wintry none the less,
put in an appearance last night.
Snow covered the ground through
out Humboldt county this morning
and sheet of ice supplemented the
white covering to make the spec
tacle real. Indeed, "silver thaw"
was about for a short time today
and despite the lateness of the date
rigorous temperatures prevailed
Considerable concern is MAIN
tanned over the intrusion of the
cold wave on account of the present
progress of lambing and fear is ex-
pressed that the winter losses of
this class of stock will be added to
in considerable amount by this
belated spell of Arctic weather.
Cattle too, are suffering, and
some losses will be suffered by
owners should the present spell of
weather continue for a few days.
This spring is claimed to be one
of the most unfavorable for the
stockman experienced in many
years.
Several Of the big cattle outfits
of the country turned strong stuff
out some time back, while others
are still feeding their full bands.
Local weather records show the
maximum temperature yesterday to
have been 81 above; the lowest this
morning, "a above. Yesterdays
mean was 46 as compared to a
normal mean for the date of 45.
Precipitation fell last night and
this morning to the amount Of 20
of an inch. Two inches Of snow
created this. The forecast for to-
night is: rain or snow and colder
for tomorrow, fair and warmer.

ers of the city are given to the
evil of making indiscriminate dis
position Of their refuse and seem
to care not a whit where II u
placed SO long as it gets beyond
their sight. Lately several loads
Of unsightly rubbish have been
dumped alongside Of the cemetery
in the western part Of this city,
while the eastern part Of the town
is well decorated with cans bearing
labels from all of the known packers
in Christendom. The chief Of police
said today that the city maintains

AGENT J. w.
WILSON BACK HOME

County Agent ]. W. Wilson re-
turned home last evening from
his trip to north central states
where he went a month ago in
company with v. E. Scott, of Reno,
state dairy commissioner, and
County Agent Brennan, of Elko. The
party brought back 1870 head of
dairy stock, purchased in Wisconsin,
state that is now called the dairy
seed quarter for the United States,
and the assertion is made that re-
cent buying has been very heavy
in the dairy districts. Within the
past month, said Mr.. Wilson yes
terday, the price of dairy stuff
has raised $40 per head and the
demand increasing daily for dairy
strain cattle, coming from many
different countries.
Just now, said Mr.. Wilson, Mexi-
can buyers are purchasing very
literally in the Wisconsin dairying
centers and rumor there has it
that the stock is being gotten
together for export to Germany,
where herds are to be systematic
ally rehabilitated for the first time
since the war.
The party Of Nevadans brought
back 1870 head, or five cars, and
made the trip by freight in the
fast time of eight days. The lot
will be divided up for the several
districts of this state. Mr.. Wilson's
territory, Humboldt and Pershing
counties, have a quota Of 80 head,
of which 20 head go to Pershing
county farmers and the remainder
to farmers in this vicinity.
The Nevada party visited Presi-
dent Howard, head Of the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau organization, at
his Chicago home and learned first
hand Of plans entertained by the
leader representing the farming
interests of the United States. He
emphasized the importance Of the
work being done by the organization,
and told Of the almost innumerable
petitions that have been prepared
and presented to congress in pro-
test against existing evils. Railroad
rates form a big bone of contention
with farmers over the entire United
States, said President Howard, and
a vigorous movement has been
launched by him against the objec-
tionable long and short haul evils
which beset this state in a singular
manner.
Mr.. Wilson went to Loveiock last
night and will distribute the PERISH
ing county quota of cows today,
and return to this city tomorrow.
Humboldt county farmers will get
delivery Of their assignments Mon
dav.

H0b0ES WILL BE
FED IN THIS CITY
Public Meeting Held This Afternoon
and Introduction of . Bread
Line Into Winnemucca
Was Decided Upon

Red Cross authorities and others,
meeting at the chamber Of COM
merce rooms this afternoon, decided
to provide a bread line in this city
to give temporary succor to the
many transients passing through
here, and the innovation, the first in
the city's history, will be established
within the next few days. The ex-
pedient was decided upon for sew
eral reasons having to do with both
humanitarian impulse and public
safety. Every train passing through
this city for several weeks past
has brought quota Of down and
cutters, which unhappily, include
many young men. This has been
regular port of call for all of
those who are making their way
across the country for one reason
or another and nearly all assume
the mendicant role, Immediately
they get here.
Aims asking is undertaken on the
business streets and in the residences
districts of the city and one Of the
objects sought by establishing the
breadline is to keep transients con-
fined to Bridge street and the areas
about the two depots. This as q
matter of public safety and to pre-
vent giving cause for concern to
the timid housewives many Of whom
have suffered imposition lately.
It is also probable that an en-
ployment agency will be established
at the commercial club rooms in
this city where men without work
may obtain employment as it is
offered. 1t is said that many local
householders have small jobs about
their places which can be done
acceptably by the stranger here for
brief stay and needed aid extended
in this manner to those who really
want to work for what they get.
County and city peace officers as
sert that as many as 100 men pass
through this city daily at the pres
ent time riding catch-as-catch-can
and that the number is increasing.
Already, they say, many men are
showing here from the coal pro-
ducing areas Of the east where
mines are now shut down as a result
of the recently instituted coal strike.

CHAMBER MEETING
WAS INTERESTING
Many Subjects Relating to Welfare
of Humboldt County Were Dis
cussed Last Evening and
Dispositions Made

A good sized crowd of Winnie
mucca men, loyal to the best in
terests of the county, attended the
chamber Of commerce meeting held
last night. Chief among the bust
ness transacted was the fixing of
June 9th and 10th as the days when
the good roads convention will be
held in this city. Delegations will
be in attendance from principal
cities of Idaho, eastern and southern
Oregon and northern California, and
a rousing time is anticipated as well
as the working out of a definite
program for road building activ-
tiles in the country's greatest in
land territory. The entertainment
committee Of the chamber of COM
merce is to have charge of the
visitors, numbering about one hum
dred, according to present esti-
mates, and the role of host is to
be discharged in a most cordial
and painstaking manner by the
business interests Of this city. Dis
cussion is expected to. result in
an understanding between rival busi-
ness interests that will result in the
putting forward of projected
road building program that will
be worked out in the next few years
in a manner satisfactory to every
body.
A letter has been received by the
chamber Of commerce from the
Fox film news service, asking that
the body provide a cameraman to
take distinctive Humboldt county
pictures which would be used by
the moving picture theatres sup
piled with the Fox service. The
opportunity is deemed a good one
and it is possible that a cinema
graph operator may be sent afield
from this city to get views in diff
ferent parts Of this country.
Cognizance was also given the sub
ject Of local telephone rental rates,
charged Winnemucca customers of
the Bell company, it being asserted
that the monthly rental of $500
charged here, is varied at Elko where
4 rate Of $1.65 is extended. The
states public service commission is
to be appealed to to correct the
disparity.
A discussion was INDUCED Of the
routing of the Victory highway
through this city, the seeming re-
luctance of the state highway de-
partment to follow Second street
to the eastern limits of the city,
causing some concern in the minds
of local business interests. 1t will
be remembered that the chamber
Of commerce declared earlier for
this route and supplicating tele-
grams were dispatched last night to
the state highway department ask
ing for q revision of present no
tions. The route most favored by
the state authorities and leading
through this city, follows Third
street east from Bridge. County
Surveyor R. E. Tilden gave a sum-
mary Of the surveying accomplish
ments in this neighborhood up to
the present time and said that the
reason he had omitted the Second
street survey from his activities
rested with his superiors in the
state capitol who had thus dictated.
immigration questions were up for
a talkfest having been pronounced
by certain Of the membership inter-
ested in keeping the stock industry
Of northern Nevada on an even
