option on the reduction plant situated

Carson river, and it is claimed that he
has obtained possession of the Doug

RAILROAD CHIEF I
VISITS yERMe161

o. Il. Mccormick, vice-prcsidcrit q
the Southern Pacific Company. spent
two days last week looking over the
agricultural and stock conditions II
Mason and Smith valleys.
In company with Thomas Buchanan,
County Agent, Senator Penrosc. ]. l.
Wilson and Clark J., Guild he visited
n1any ranches and listened attentively
10 our plans for irrigation and drAiri-
age.
Thursday evening Mr.. Mccormick
was the guest Of Ycrington business
mon at dinner at the Brooks Hotel.
He said he had nevcy seen territory
with more promising future than
here i'll Lyon county He advised that
we pay more attention to hogs and cat
tle--wlly sell your alfalfa for 81 or IS
ton i'll the stack when you could
get $50 ton If you put it into cattle
and hogs,
Mr. McCorinick's talk was interest,"
ing and instructive, but its practicable.
ity is doubtful.
Short talks were made BY Clark j..
Guild, Thomas Buckman and J. L.
Wilson. The latter told Mr.. McCor-
mick what we needed here was reason.
able freight rates onsthc railroad and
the absorption Of the Copper Belt by
the Southern Pacific, and right there
Mr.. Wilson hit the nail on the head.
With decent freight rate, not only
would farmers. get reasonable profit
on their products, but. with decent
freight rate the Thompson smelter
would be justified in starting up, which
would start all the copper mines in
this country going, and which in turn
woulu give employment to about 2OO
men and give our farmers that many
more mouths to feed with their beef,
butter. eggs. poultry and spuds. u
And that's the kind Of talk to which
Mr.. Mccormick and other cmissaries
of big transportation interests turn a
deaf car.
