MISSIONARY SPEAKER
TELLS ABOUT india;
DISCUSSES NEGROES

'1ndia's Heritage" was the subject
of the second lecture delivered by
Mrs. Halle Linn Hill. of New York,
world famed lecturer, Tuesday after
noon before the School of Missions,
which opened Tuesday under
the auspices of the Federation of Mis-
sionary Societies at the First Pres
byterian church.
Among the finer things Of 1ndia's
heritage, said the speaker, are the
marvellous architecture of the past, the
ancient literature and the perpetual
religious conscience. The temples
and palaces of India are unequalled
anywhere in the world for their beau
ty and grandeur, and were built be-
cause the wealth of the land once was
in the hands of the few who compelled
millions of laborers to work without
recompenSe.
India's handicaps, the speaker said,
are an outgrowth of her religion and
her caste system. Among these great
handicaps are her high death rate and
infant mortality.
Advent Of Unionism
The speaker dwelt upon the adven.
of unionism in India, saying that the
first labor organization was started in
India five years ago and that the first
labor union congress was held in 1920.
The organization was formed for the
purpose Of changing the working con-
ditions in the cotton mills. The rule
was then for IL to IS hour day with
wages of from $5 to $3.50 per month
The new law establishes a II hour day
in South India.
"The greatest heritage that shuts
the door to all progress is the cast sys-
tenn and there are today more than
5000 castles that make the dividing
lines between various groups Of peo-
pie the speaker said.
Quotes Statistics
A few census statistics were given
by the speaker to give her hearers an
idea of the anthropologic composition
of the Indian races. The population
of India, according to the latest cen
sus, is 318,942480 people. Of this
number 216,734 $50 are Hindus, over
68 millions are Moslems and over II
millions are Buddrists. There are
about five millions of Christians in
cluding both Protestants and Roman
Catholics in India.
Special music was also a feature of
the program, Monday afternoon. Mrs.
Ross w. Stoakes sang a vocal solo
and Miss Mary Jones played a solo or
the violin
Negro Progresses
The negro has made more prog
ress in the last so years than any
other one race in a given length of
time" said Mrs. Hill in her first ad-
dress Tuesday
In support of this statement the
speaker cited numerous well-known
and prominent negroes who have done

BITTER COURT
FIGHT OPENED
ON DRY RULING
Distinguished lawyers
Appear in Case
fRy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-Whether the
mere presence of liquor in sea stores
on foreign vessels. comes within the
scope of the 18th amendment in the
national prohibition act, is the real is
sue in Attorney General Daugherty's S
dry ship ruling, said Van Vechten
Veeder, counsel for the White Star
line. in arguments today before FEEDER
al Judge Hand, as to the validity
of the ruling.
Mr.. Veeder declared that foreign
vessels, had been allowed to carry
liquor in their sea stores ever since
prohibition became effective, and this
right was not questioned until Oct 6,
when the Daugherty opinion was pro-
mulgated.
Mr.. Veeder was the first of a num-
Der of distinguished lawyers for Amer
lean and foreign ships, to present ar
guments before Judge Hand for the
hearing of temporary injunetions re-
stralnlng the enforcement authorities
from putting into effect the ruling for
bidding all ships leaving port after
Oct. Il, from carrying liquor, under
seal to or from American ports.
Expect Bitter Fight.
The government forces were pre-
pared to present arguments to show
cause why they should not be per-
manently enjoined from putting into
effect the provisions of the Daugherty
ruling. Attorneys for the steamship
companies were prepared for a bitter
fight. 1t was stated by representatives
of both factions that no matter what
the result of the hearings the test
cases would be brought before the
United States supreme court.
All of the American lines of the
American steamship owners associa-
ton, and foreign lines such as the
Royal Mail Steam Packet company, the
Lamport and Holla, the North German
Lloyd and others in the Atlantic
and South American trade will await
the results of today's hearings before
taking action
Action at StandstilI
Action by the enforcement agents
against either foreign or domestic
ships is at a standstill, according to H.
c. Stuart, acting collector of the port,
who said he had been instructed to,
mark time by the Treasury depart
ment. Meanwhile crews of French
vessels in port here had their usual ra.
tions of wine today; foreign vessels
sailed with liquor on board, either to
sell 1t outside the three mile limit o.
to keep it sealed to dispose of in for
eign ports; American vessels unfavored
by the extension of time until Oct. q
sailed under the bone dry regime,
Millions of dollars in property, trade
rights and good will are said to be
at stake while counsel for foreign
lines have claimed that infringement
of treaties between American and for.
eign countries and violation of foreign
laws are points involved
The fight against the Daugherty
ruling was begun early last week by
the Cunard and Anchor lines which
were Joined by the American lines
of the International Merchantide Ma
rine, thus furnishing the test cases
for American and foreign ships. The
main connection of the steamship com.
panies will be that the Daugherty rui-
ing is unconstitutional.

WnJNEMUCCA NEVADA,
BLAST FROM THE
THE ICY NORTHEAND

Winnemuccans were surprised this
morning to hear the announcement
from Weather Observer Ray Fisher
in which the news was conveyed
that the mercury had dropped to IA
below zero at $3.50 o'clock this
morning. At 8 o'clock the IL be-
low zero mark had been attained.
Mr.. Fisher is in quandary to know
from whence the frigid blast issued,
inasmuch as his Instruments re-
corded a low weather pressure and
cold snaps are very unusual under
such conditions. It is believed that
the downward trend Of the mercury
will be characterized by brevity and
that it will be fair and warmer to-
night. This is the forecast.
The highest temperature yester-
day was 81 above zero; the mean
16 above zero as compared to q
normal mean for the date Of 80.
The prevailing wind direction is
southwest and additional snow
storms are prophesied for tomorrow.

WOOL IS SOLD NOW
Northern Nevada's Estimated loz2
Output Of Fleece Set At Four
Million Pounds and Better
Prices Being Obtained

It is asserted that the northern
Nevada 1922 wool clip will approx
mate four million pounds and that
one-fourth of this is sold at the
present time, at prices varying from
20 to 81 cents per pound. Among
those who have marketed are: Vic

Mrs. Laucerica, Jesus Aranguena,
s. Alcorta, J. Yrigue, F. Bengoa 4

goa & Cobeaga, A. Etcheverry. ].

The sellers mentioned received 26
cents in all cases, according to the
Winnemucca State Bank, through
whose agency the transactions were
consummated. The purchaser h

their buyer, Harry Dunn.

gon and cannot be said to be strict
ly Nevada sheepmen.
J. Sheehan of the First National
Bank reports having sold clips az
gregating 100000 pounds during the
last two days. The top price re-
ceived is. 27 cents and the minimum
25 cents. The same agency has
also contracted 1000 lambs for
$3.50 per head.
Mr.. Sheehan said this morning
that many wool sales have been
effected in the Nevada districts bor-
dering on Idaho and Utah and the
sheepman is enjoying better condi-
tions than at any other time since
the great slump following the con-
clusion of the world war.
Wool prices are determined, Mr..
Sheehan stated, by the texture and
length of the staple. The sheepnan
who proposes to clip, late this spring
and who Will have a fuu years
growth to offer and whose product
is of the fine wool variety gets the
maximum price. His. neighbor may
cut a ten months growth of fleece
from a coarse wool sheep with the
result that his production does not
command SO good a selling figure.
Wool buyers particularize when they
make purchases and predicate their
purchases mainly upon the condi-
tions recited. The average Nevada
wool shrinkage is said to be from
sixty-three to seventy per cent, de-
pending upon the class of sheep
sheared. The finer Merino grades
are subject to the minimum u
shrinkage while courser woods shrink
greatest.
Mr.. Sheehan stated this morning
that most Humboldt county sheep
men maintain a very high standard
of wool producing sheep.

.V|CKsBURG MINE
WAS SOLD TODAY
Well Known Northern Humboldt
Mine Sold Under Execution to
Ney Wolfskill Of San Fran
cisco for $12,50O


situated in this county fourteen
miles south Of Denio, Oregon, was
sold today under an order issued
out Of the federal court at Carson
City, to Ney Wolfskill, well known
San Francisco man, who made q bid
Of $12,500 for the mining property.
Included are fourteen claims. The
sum bid is the smallest that could
be accepted and Mr.. Wolfskill put
forward his proffer as the principal
creditor. Judgments to the amount
Of more than 1000 had been de-
clared against the Vicksburg group
and Of this sum Mr.. Wolfskill's al
mitted claim was $76,S00, all for
cash advanced in bringing the prop
erty up to its present stage Of de-
velopment.
Sale confirmation proceedings viii
occur in the federal court at Carson
City on the 14th Of next month.
By the terms of the sale effected
today directly through G. D. Math-
ewson, up to the present time re-
ceiver Of the Vicksburg mining hold
ings, Mr.. Wolfskill becomes the
owner Of mining equipment Of the
approximate value Of $4,000. This
is located on the claims purchased
and will be put to use by the pur-
chaser in the further development
Of the property which is to be un-
dertaken just as soon as the weather
will permit. The announcement has
been made that Mr.. Mathewson will
be associated with the owner as
superintendent in the development
Of the Vicksburg group.
The Vicksburg mining property
lies in the same locality as the Ash
down group, which has been under
bond and lease for several years.
It is said that forfeiture ofAall
rights belonging to leasen On the
Ashdown has occurred and the prop
erty has reverted to the undisputed
ownership Of Mrs. Pennsylvania Orr
Of Visalia, Calf, who is expected
to revive operations. Her mining
property has been within the pro-
ducing list for a number Of years
and is regarded as one Of the most
promising Of the large low-grade
milling projects in this state.
Although the Vicksburg claims
have never produced. sufficient work
has been performed to show EAore
or less clearly the vast extent of
the ore bodies contained. Mr.. Wolf
skill expects to equip his property
with Gibson mill at an early date
and looks forward to activities that
will place the Vicksburg in the pro-
ducing list. With this idea strongly
in mind he plans to move from San
Francisco to this county to divide
his time between this city and his
mine. He will apply for a patent
to the entire group within the next
few weeks.
