HUSKEY VISITS FALLON
ON CAMPAIGN TOUR

"Nineteen-twenty-two is a Demo-
state. and I'm after the Democratic
nomination for Congress-, said IL.
w. Huskey, Reno attorney and form
er state senator from Washoe coun-
ty. as he greeted friends in Fallon
this week on statewide tour in
which he is urging his fellow-Demo-
Gratis to get in and win all along the
line, from Senator to constable.
Senator Huskey, in making his
appeal to his fellow-democrats, is
outlining a program of congression-
al performance which he considers
not only the duty of a Nevada repre-
sentative in Washington to strive to
see realized, but one which is cap
able of realization.
"Nevada's interests virtually EN-
brace those of the entire west" he
said, "and an alert Congressman or
Senator will always have an oppor-
tunity to get in a good lick for the
state. Take mining, for instance.
No industry is so sensitive, perhaps,
to legal tinkering, or may be so
much helped or hurt by what is
done in the halls of congress. Then
there's irrigation-deeidedly not a
local issue, but one in which all the
west is interested, and here again
Nevada wants someone who knows
irrigation law and what his state
needs in that regard
1T was largely through the inter-
ests of a former state highway en-
gineer of Nevada that the present
federal aid road law became a fact,
with its great blessings to the entire
west, and particularly to Nevada.
This is an example of what | mean
when | say that there is much to be
done for our state by a wide-awake
man at Washington"

YOUTH PLEADS GUILTY
ON CHARGE OF STEALING

Michael Kester, eighteen years
old, pleaded guilty before Judge
Hart last Saturday, to the charge of
horse stealing. Kester was arrest
ed in Hazen, August 4th, by Sheriff
Jim Smith who trailed him to that
place. on the complaint of W. A.
Van Doran whose horse and saddle
were taken. Kester was given an
indeterminate sentence of from one
to fourteen years in the state peni-
tentiary.
On account of the youthfulness of
the offender District Attorney Ken
ny has obtained a stay of execution
of thirty days during which time he
will intereede with the state parole
commissioners to have the sentence
commuted SO that the boy may be
sent to the reform school at Elko
instead of to the penitentiary.

Reno Ball Team Wins
Easily from Fallon
Visitors Demonstrate Superiority By
Piling Up Score of
10 to B

Jack Threlkel of Reno brought
his baseball club to Fallon last Sun
day to meet the demand of the F'al-
Ion fans. That he has a club of all
stars no one that saw them perform
will deny They field everything
that comes their way In snappy
fashion and when it came to hitting
the Fallon pitchers were not able to
stop them.
In spite of the bad trimming re-
ceived by the local team Of amateur
base ball players, we believe they are
the equal of any In the state in their
class.
Steve started on the mound for
the locals and seemingly pitched his
worst game of the seasan He al
lowed ten hits and gave six bases
on balls in the four innings he
pitched. Stewart was sent in to re-
lieve him in the fifth, but to no
avail and Smith relieved Stewart in
the eighth; Reno found Smith as
easy as the others and continued to
clout the ball at will
Shulis pitching for Reno had the
local team at his mercy in nearly
every inning. Powell, Greenwood,
Hawley, Dickerson and Knoblock be-
ing the only members of the home
crew that were able to negotiate his
delivery.
The largest crowd of the season
witnessed the slaughter and must
have received their moneys worth.
Next Sunday the contest should
be more evenly matched, though it
must be remembered that Comstock
is coming to Fallon with one of the
strongest teams the locals have met
this season in the amateur group.

(By Al. Reed)


The recent meeting of the dele
gates from the various hay produc-
ing sections of this state resulted in
a concrete solution of the whole
problem, is the consensus of opinion
from every sections of the state to
which the plan has been reported
back.
The following is a signed state
ment by Tom Dolf, viee-president of
the Churchill County Bank, and C.
G. Swingle, president of the District
Irrigation Board: "By agreeing up
on uniform minimum price at
which hay may be sold, adjusted to
the different conditions in the sew
eral communities of the state, we
prevent the eut-throat competition
which is running the ranchers. We
believe this will mean one or two
dollars more a ton on all the hay
sold in the State of Nevada. All of
the other hay producing sections In
the state are in harmony with this
plan and it is up to us as the larg-
est producing valley to give it our
support. (Signed) Tom Dolf, G. g.
Swingle."
Mr.. Dolf is interested in the
Churchill County Bank, and, conse-
quently, is interested in the welfare
of the patrons of this bank, which
compromise the entire community
Mr.. Swingle as a hay producer is in
position to favor this plan because
il effects him directly as nay pro-
ducer.
So much has already been said in
regard to hay jockeying and price

DEMOCRATS PROPOSE EARLY
VOTE ON TARIFF, REFUT-
ING CHARGE OF DELAY

The Republicans of the Senate
were taken completely by surprise
and thrown into confusion when
Senator Simmons (Dem. N. c..
ranking minority member of the FL
nance Committee, boldly proposed
that the Senate should vote, on the
Fordney-M Profiteers' Tar
iff bill on August 19. The Republi-
cans had held a meeting the night
before at the residence of Senator
Lodge at which 1t is reported on
good authority they had agreed to
propose September 1st for a vote
on the bill.
The Republicans have been accus-
ing the Democrats of filibustering to
delay the bill, and Senator simmons
proposal to vote on it four days after
the House reconvenes and twelve
days ahead of the time secretly
agreed upon by the Republicans, not
only disproves the charge of an at
tempted delay on the part of the
the Republicans themselves were at
tempting to delay a vote on the bill,
keeping the Do-Nothing House In
session for more than two weeks
still doing nothing.
This is in accordance with the
Republican plan of not permitting
the Proflteers' Tariff bill to become
law before the November elections.
Following the passage of the bill by
the Senate on whatever the compro-
mise date agreed on, the bill will
have to go to conference. The pam
ic-strieken Republicans, according to
all predictions, will then attempt to
lower some of the increased duties
imposed by the Senate, resulting in
prolonging the conference beyond
the date upon which II is desired
that Congress shall adjourn, thus
passing the matter up to the short
session In December.
That the Republicans propose to
delay final action on the Proflteers'
Tariff bill until after the November
election is corroborated by the
Washington Post, regarded as the
official mouthpiece of the President
in particular, and the Republican
administration generally. The Post
in recent issue says.
There will be no tariff legislation
passed to final enactment prior to
the November elections.
There can be no higher authority
than the Washington Post in such
matters-not even Senator Lodge.

BOOM IN HIGHWAY BUILDING
DUE MAINLY TO FEDERAL AID

Federal aid has been probably the
most important factor in the big
boom in highway building of recent
years, and there are now many long
stretches of trunkline highway sery-
ing rich agricultural and industrial
sections of the country which are
almost entirely Federal-aid eonstruc-
tion.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture, which administers the
Federal-aid fund, points out that a
traveller going from Richmond, Ind,
to st. Louis across Indiana and the
southern part of Illinois, thence to
Chicago by way of Springfield and
Peoria, a distance of approximately
679 miles, would travel sos miles,
or rs per cent of the way on FEEDER
aid highways, practically all of
which should be in service by the
end of the present season.

Hay Growers Report Benefits
from Marketing Association

cutting among the farmers them
selves that any definite price, which
is based on supply and demand and
other governing factors, gives the
farmers some basis upon which to
sell his hay when asked by the deal
er what his price is.
The price as set for Churchill
county is $500 per ton in the stack.
This price of $500 has already
stabilized the price of hay, mas
much as each farmer knows, through
the wide publicity already given this
price, that when he is asked what
hay is selling for he at once says,
81 will take $500 for my hay. If
you can offer me any more, all well
and good, but | cannot take less"
Also, a farmer in Fernley ans
wers this same question by saying
that he is to receive $3.50 in the
stack. Consequently, this equalizes
the situation and dealer cannot
make so cents a ton ON hay by SIM
ply riding from Fernley to Fallon
and return, as was done last year.
Any one who is acquainted in the
past with the devious ways in which
hay was marketed should commend
this opportunity of stabilizing the
price of hay.
The contracts as offered have been
given all publicity possible and con-
sequently every grower taking a
Reno paper or local paper should be
in a position to know now that this
is the most practical proposition
that it is thoroughly workable
which has yet been put before the
hay producers of this state.

PARTIAL SETTLEMENT Is APP.
PROVED BY SHoPcRAFTS
POLICY BOARD.
RAIL STRIKE IS HALTED!
SENIORITY ISSUE is NOT MEN
TONED IN NEW PEACE PACT
WITH SEVENTY-FIVE ROADS.

Chicago-The policy committee of
the striking railway shopcrafts auth
orized B. M. Jewell, strike leader, to
sign a separate peace agreement with
individual roads This action, it was
stated, would end the strike on from
thirty to fifty-two of the POP Class l
railroads of the country which entered
into direct negotiations with Mr.. jew
ell recently at Baltimore, and with
any others who cared to accept the
peace terms.
With the announcement that partial
peace had been voted came the first
definite information that S. Davies
Warfield, president of the Seaboard
Air Line and representative of rail
road securities company said to con-
troll $13000,000,000 stock, vas respon-
sible for negotiations that finally end
ed in the agreement.
The peace agreement for settle
ment of the Shopmen's strike on 'indi-
vidual railroads, as given out here,
made the following provisions
The agreement, at present, would
apply to about one-fourth of the Glass
l roads of the country.
All men returning to work would
do so at the prevailing rate of pay,
which was fixed by the United States
railroad labor board, effective on July
/, the day the strike order went into
effect.
Seniority was not specifically men
toned in the agreement, although it
was provided that the men return to
work in positions of the class" they
held before the strike began.
Disputes over the relative stand
ing" of old and new men would be re-
ferred to a board of six rail officials
and an equal number of representa-
tives of the men.
1t also was provided that the roads
should find places for the strikers who
have not committed acts of violence
within thirty days after the agreement
becomes effective.
The agreement so far as announced,
made no mention of working condi-
tons, outside contracting by the roads
or jurisdiction by the labor board, all
of which also figured in the strike as
a leading issue.
With these terms as basis, system
declarations on roads not now parties
to the agreement are authorized to en-
ter peace negotiations with proper rail
road officials Until these employees
are returned to work, they will be as
sisted financially by those who are
employed.
Both new men and the strikers will
be retained by the railroads signing
the Jewell Willard agreement. The old
men are to return to their former po-
sitions at the present rate of pay not
later than thirty days after the agree
ment is signed.

Injunction HEARING Continues.

Chicago by reports of
a peace agreement between the strik-
ing shop crafts and a portion of the
country's railroads, the government
continued to introduce evidence from
all parts of the country charging VIC
lence and intimidation by strikers, on
the strength of which it is seeking an
injunction against them. Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty's assistants worked to
show a concerted effort to interrupt
and destroy interstate traffic.

Slayer Hangs Self in Cell.

Salem, Ore.-R. M. Brumfield, con-
victed of the murder of Dennis Rus
sell, in Douglas county, committed sui
eide by hanging himself in his cell
here. Brumfield accomplished his act
by tearing up sheet and making a
rope from 1t, tying one end to the end
of his steel bunk, placing the other
around his neck, and jumping off. He
had rolled up his blankets and put
them under sheet to initiate the form
of man. His body could not be seen
from the corridor
