Big Boss Heads University Herd

Big Boss, the three year old boar
which now heads the Poland China
herd of the Montana Agricultural Col
lege at Bozeman, has won about all
the honors which hog can win at
Montana fairs. He won first prize in
the Pig Club class at the Jefferson
County Fair in 1919, winning with it
a free trip for his owner to the State
Fair. He was first in the sping Boar
Pig class there, and Grand Champion
over all breeds, as well as first in the
open class and Junior Champion of
the Fair.
In 1921, he stood second to the
Grand Champion at the State Fair at
Helena, but went down to the Midland
Empire Fair at Billings, the following
week, and was placed first over the
boar which beat him at Helena. There
is not much left in Montana for Big
Boss to win.
Big Boss was bred by H. Walker, of
Townsend, Broadwater County, and
was sold to Harold Donohoe of White
hall, member of the Jefferson County
Pig Club, to carry thorugh Pig Club
project. The pig was narrowed April
6, 1919, and Harold bought him when
he was SO days old. At that time he
weighed "a pounds. On September L,
Harold weighed him, and he tipped
the scales at 225 pounds. During the
period from June 4 to September l.,
80 days, he gained 2.25 pounds per
day. When showed at last seasons
fairs, he weighed in the 900 notch, be-
ing just past two years of age.
Harold was a lad of Is when he
bought the boar, but he had ability
to grow him into wonderful hog. An
Iowa breeder offered Harold $500 for
the pig in 1919, but Harold would not
let him go out of Montana. He sold
him last December to the University
of Montana for 500 where the boar
is now working at the job of improv-
ing Montana swine.
Harold now has seven lows which
are the get of Big Boss.

Women S Civic Club
Outlines Policy

The newly organized Civic Club
gives evidence Of having adopted a
conservative policy. Slow but
sure" seems to be the honest en-
deavor upon the part of these repre-
sentative people of this community.
In order to lay a sound and valid
foundation. the club appointed a
committee to carefully consider the
first steps to be taken, and point out
the most practical way that would
lead to efficiency, and meet with the
approval of the majority for the up
building of the better interests of
our community. THAT we pursue a
constructive policy in all our ef-
forts" is a commendable slogan that
speaks Of good judgment. That the
members OF the club love Fallon and
Churchill county Is very evident, aud
their earnest endeavor will be to as
sist the city and county officials in
making this part OF Nevada q place
where good homes are found and
happy families live.
what really constitutes a good
place In which to live," is not a ques-
tion to be confined to nor solved by
the members of the club. They are
determined to obtain public opinion
and to be guided by tho good judB-
ment of those who are interested in
making this city and county q de-
sirable place in which to raise a
family under the most favorable con-
ditions to all concerned. 1t is not
an organized effort to bring forth
criticism, to find fault with present
conditions or to ask for radical
measures of reform, Such Is not the
object. judging from the tactfui way
In which the club begins its work.
The purpose is to serve community
needs in humble way, to watch the
growth Of other communities and
point out their method for improve
ment of home conditions, to devote
time to the study of local problems
and to seek to build up everything
that is good for the public In gem
eral. Should these statements prove
to be at least part Of the program
of this club it is not asking too
much to urge that the women Of our
community join this club and there
by make it strong factor in making
this city the best place in Nevada.

COMMISSIONERS
HOLD REGULAR SESSION

The members of the board of
county commissioners held their reg
ular monthly meeting yesterday,
which is the last regular session of
the board under the present elective
officers. The regular routine busi-
ness of approval of claims was taken
up and orders entered.
Considerable discussion was in
dulged in relative to the improve
ment of county roads other than the
highway. 1t was agreed that the
county will furnish gravel In the
bins, provide dump wagons and pay
IAN cents per yard mile; the road
bed to De prepared in advance for
haulage.
In order to get line ON prospec-
tive haulage the commissioners are
asking that those desiring this work
confer with the County Clerk stat
ing In advance as to how long they
are willing to work and when. 1t is
figured that by the plan that the
roads may be put In condition with
little expense and with no extra tax
to the county. 1t is the purpose to
keep plants on both ends of the con-
templated improved sections moving.
During the commissioners meet
ing the question of paving came up
with Mayor Clark in attendance. 1t
was stated that the county is willing
to change the east city terminal of
the survey line to suit the wishes of
he people, provided, however, that
the change is satisfactory to the
highway department. A conference
is being arranged with the highway
head at Carson which will probably
be held at an early date.
The commissioners will meet in
extra session toward the end of the
month in order to round out all the
business connected with the office
and prepare to turn over affairs to
the recently elected officers.

Claim Prohibition
Enforcement Success
Prohibition Commissioners Report
for Past Year Shows Increase In
Number of Convictions

A program of more concerted CO.
operation between federal officials
and local enforcement agencies is
planned for the coming year, FEEDER
al Prohibition Commissioner R. A.
Haynes advises Director ]. P. Dom
nelley of this state.
Section 2 of the enforcement act
divides the responsibility between
the eopernmant and the statas-
acted legislation to this end and the
various state agencies report in
creasing evidence of cooperation.
Commissioner Haynes says that
every state, county and city has the
initial responsibility of cleaning up
its own conditions through locally
selected officials, before the federal
machinery should be expected to
take charge. Hence, the necessity of
close cooperation between the states
and federal agencies.
Director J. P. Donnelley is greatly
pleased with the progress that has
been made in enforcement in this
state, and is most optimistic in re-
CARDS to the future, in view of the
spirit of cooperation, In evidence
practically everywhere. More and
more is the public becoming con-
vinced that the success of enforce
ment lies as much with the people
themselves as with the officers who
are designated to enforce the law In
spite of obstacles and many Smpli-
cations, prohibition is showing itself
as a means of pronounced public
betterment, of improved living con-
ditions, and healthier, happier hui
man beings. There is evidence ev-
erywhere of marked progress in the
way of enforcement.
Reducing the source of supply,
through concentration, in Commits
sioner Haynes opinion, will aid ma
terially in enforcement and also
make for economy, for, as he says,
economy has been the watchword OF
the administration. Concentration
of bonded whiskey in a smaller num-
ber of bonded warehouses will re-
suit in the saving of at least $780,
900 per annum. A saving of $780,
900 has been effected through re-
ductions secured in rental OF office
and storage space and the disposi-
tion of seized property. A further
saving of $156.900 annually has
been effected by the readjusting OF
salaries.
The greater efficiency of admin
stration is clearly reflected in the re.
duction of taxpaid Withdrawals OF
alcohol as measured in tax gallons
In the year ended June 80. 1921,
these Withdrawals aggregated 26,-
275,605 and in 1922 only $780,
603.
Referring to the cry that prohibit
tion is a failure" Commissioner
Haynes says that in his Judgment
one of the most remarkable success
ses ever attained in the enforcement
of new and drastic law has been
recorded in the present status of en-.
forcement of the National Prohibi.
tion Act.

Neyada's Interests
Favor s.
Chairman shaughnessy Makes State
ment In Hearing on 5. Pc. +.
Unmerger Case
SERVICE EFFICIENCY WOULD
BE HAMPERED BY SEPARATION
Saws Economic Loss to Nevada In
Reduced Pay Rolls and Taxes
Would BE Great

In a hearing which Is now being
held before the Interstate Commerce
Commission at Washington, d. c.,
Chairman shaughnessy of the Me-
yada Public Service Commission
made detailed statement concern
ing the proposed separation of the
Central Pacific from the Southern
Pacific and declared that it was for
the best interests of the state of Ne
vada that control remain with the
Southern Pacific. Chairman Shaugh-
messy summed up the case so far as
Nevada is concerned as follows:
should the Union Pacific secure
control of the Central Pacific II will
operate 1106 miles of line in Cali
fornia, surrounded and paralleled by
210O miles of Southern Pacific lines.
BY thus introducing another compet-
tive line into the heavy tonnage
producing sections of the San Joa-
quin, Sacramento and Santa Clara
Valleys, which are already adequate
ly served by the Santa Fe, Southern
Pacific and Western Pacific lines, |
am unable TO see wherein the Union
Pacific will be able to originate as
much traffic as the Southern Pacific
Is now originating and delivering to
IL at the Ogden gateway. On the
contrary by forcing the Southern Pa
cifc Company to become an active
competitor 1t will be able to divert a
large share of Oregon and Califor-
MIA traffic to the Santa Fe at Mo-
fave, and to the Rock Island and
Texas & Pacific at Ell Paso that is
now passing through Nevada for
eastern destinations.
The testimony of record In this
proceeding by Mr.. L. ]. Spence, Di-
rector of Traffic of the Southern Pa
cifc Company, indicates that II the
Central Pacific Railroad is separated
from the Southern Pacific Company.
II will force the latter company to
become an active competitor for
traffic, and a resulting loss to the
Central Pacific approximating 600.-
600 tons OF freight per annum. We
of Nevada of course know what a
harmful effect such reduction
would have. There would be loss
of employment for train, engine and
shop forces. with consequent heavy
reduction In payrolis, which very
largely support the sub-terminal cit
les and towns along the line OF the
Southern Pacific Company In Ne
yada.
Based ON the aforesaid estimated
reduction of 100000 tons per an
mum via the Ogden gateway | have
made the following estimate of the
loss which will take place In loss OF
employment and wages in Nevada.
Estimated Loss 60 Nevada In Wages
