PREDATORY ANIMAL
REPORT FOR SEPTEMBER

During the month of September so
hunters worked a total of 1864 days
taking 1882 tru predatory animals:
81 bobcats and 1920 coyotes. There
were also taken IL badgers, / fox, 2
civet cats and 2 skunks.
September was a very favorable
month for trapping and in the ma
jority of the districts coyotes ere
quite plentiful. Most of the hunters
made good catches and followed in
structions in regard to saving fur,
while a few seemed to be satisfied
with just enough to hold their job
and made no pretense to save any
furs. After this, until we give you
notice to discontinue saving furs, we
want every fur saved that has any
value.
The best catches were made by
George e. Cox, White Pine County.
and Floyd McTimmonds, Washoe
County, each taking So predatory an
imals. The average catch for the
month was 1856 predatory animals
per man figured on the 80 days basis.
Others taking the average or better
are as follows; j. F. Vogel, Washoe
County, Al; Thos. Kennedy, Lincoln
County, 50; John j. Wenzell, White
Pine County, SO; ]. w. Niece, Wash
oe County, 35: r. B. Grundy, Elko
County, SO; e. c. Rucker, Nye and
Lander Counties, So; August Stresh-
ley, Lander County, 81; G. C. Friel.
Washoe County. 81; Chas. H. Haus-
kins, Pershing County, 80; John Pen
ola, Nye County, 20; o. c. Wood,
Washoe County, %; r. ]. Casey.
Churchill County. 2S; o. A. Tolman,
Elko County, 81; George Houston,
Douglas County, 81, and A. B. Cum
mings, Lyon County, 26.
We were very much pleased when
checking over our September catch
to note that the majority of you are
following instructions in regard to
tying up your furs, and to make it
easier for the Office, II you will send
in your entire months catch at n
time instead of holding w two or
three for the next shipment, we will
greatly appreciate it. OF course this
cannot always be done when furs are
not sufficiently cured when mailing
your reports.
A good many of the trappers have
reported unknown parties stealing
their traps and animals from them.
There is a very severe penalty for
stealing Government property, and
at any time you can get evidence to
warrant an arrest let us hear immed-
lately from you. The penalty for
stealing Government property is up
to $4,000 fine, or S years in the Fed
eral prison, or both.

COAL IN ELKO COUNTY

r. A. Irvine and G. e. Truett have
established a camp at the Fritz Khan
err coal deposit. about eight miles
southwest Of Elko, and will develop
the deposit with a view to marketing
the product. The Klaner coal deposit
was discovered by Fritz Klaner while
riding in the hills adjacent to his
ranch property after cattle. He
brought several samples to Elko and
they give every promise of offering
commercial possibilities. The sam
pies when burned left a fine ash and
gave of a good heat and fame. They
resemble furnace or blacksmith coal
in texture and appearance.

RANCHER SHOOTS AT
ELKO DUCK HUNTERS

Indiscriminate shooting on I he
part of a rancher who took this
means of driving hunters from the
property on which they were hunting
Sunday, may lead to the swearing
out of q complaint charging assault
with a deadly weapon.
A party Of four Elko residents
went to Ruby Lakes Sunday to hunt
ducks. One of the members of the
party had hunted at the same place
on the preceding Sunday, and no OBJ
lection had been entered by any n
living on the nearby ranch.
The party separated, two starting
to hunt near the ranch house, and
two about a mile below the house.
Immediately after the two hunters
near the ranch had fired a salvo at a
flock of ducks, the whine of rife bull
let's, followed by the sharp crack of a
rife, were heard. At least two shots
were fired at the hunters, and the
bullets, they claim, came uncomfort-
ably close. The hunters decided that
discretion vas the better part of val
or, and retired to their car. Shortly
afterward an automobile carrying
Harry Hagar and another man drove
up. Hagar, alighting from the car,
ordered the men off the land in no
uncertain terms. He said that shoot
ing bothered the cattle, although
there were no cattle in the vicinity,
excepting far below where the hunt
ers were shooting. These cattle, by
the way, we're in a direct line from
the house where the rife shots were
fired.
All attempts of the two hunters to
argue with Hagar were useless, and
although he used abusive language,
he got away with it because the hunt
ers felt that they might be trespass-
ing. No trespass signs were visible
about the vicinity in which they were
shooting.
Hagar, who was in Elko yesterday,
recounted the incident to several peo-
pie, but made it plain that he had
merely felt like shooting" at the
hunters.-Elko Independent.

NEVADA TEACHERS
CATCH THIEVES

Reno Gazette: Mrs. William Nc
MILAN, formerly of Reno, and Mrs.
Upton, a former Nevada teacher,
have come into the limelight in a de-
tective role at Ell Centre, Cal, which
resulted in the recovery of several
hundred dollars worth of stolen
school supplies and a considerable
amount of personal property.
Pilfering the schools about Ell Gen.
tro has been going on for six years, a
report states, and authorities have
been unable to catch the thieves.
This year when the two Nevada
teachers returned to their schools
and found their rooms stripped, they
decided to take action. Representing
that they were making a survey of
the district for eligible school child
rem, they visited a number of homes.
One did the talking and the other
looked for stolen property. In the
home Of a Mexican family they found
a number of stolen articles, accused
the family Of the thefts, secured a
confession to a long list of school
house robberies, and a return of con-
siderable of the stolen property and
also information which authorities
think will lead to the recovery of
most of 1t.
The thieves carried off everything
from pin pads to heavy furniture and
even a gasoline engine, authorities of
Ell Centre state.
A letter sent to a friend In Reno
by ONE of the teachers caused the af-
fair to become known here and 1t
also was given considerable publicity
in Southern California.

ASSESSMENT
REMAINS WITHOUT CHANGE

When the State Board of Equali-
zation was closing up its 1922 hear
ings last Monday, Attorney Perry
Evans appeared in the matter of the
Dunphy estate assessment, which was
up before the State Board of Equali-
zation. The decision of that board
was adverse to the position of the
Dunphy people, that they are over
assessed in Lander and Eureka Coun-
ties. Mr.. Evans was in doubt as to
the tax commissions Jurisdiction,
but asked a liberal Interpretation of
the law, which, he thought, could
take Jurisdiction under its broad
powers over the tax matters. He al
legged that the property was overas-
sessed in comparison with the prop
critics adjoining 1t, and cited his COM
parsons, suggesting that some plan
should be adopted to clear up this
ancient dispute without forcing the
question into the courts. At the pres
emit time suits are pending in the
courts of Lander and Eureka Coun-
ties covering the taxes of the past
three years. After some discussion
1t was agreed that a review of the
data on this assessment would be
made later.
The Reno Journal says the Dun
ply estate hearing was resumed at
$50 o'clock and a night session was
then decided upon. Captain Meyer
presented figures to show that his
land was assessed higher in many
classes than adjoining lands In the
same classes.
The Attorney General was then
called in and held that this matter
did not come under the jurisdiction
of the commission. No action on the
DUMMY case was fakan.

TRIBUTE. TO WORK
OF MRS. SNiITHERS

Mrs. Martha S. Cranston, OF New
port, has penned the following trib-
ute TO the late Mrs. Mary T. Smith
ers, of Dover:
"As a co-worker in the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union, 1 can
not refrain from writing of Mrs.
Mary T. Smithers. of Dover, as su-
perintendent of prison. Jail and aims
house work. Mrs. Smithers was elect
ed superintendent OF prison, Jail and
almshouse work for the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in 1889.
In her FIRST annual report she de-
plores the prisoners in the three
county jails kept in idleness and
considers our county jails a menace
to the community, and also asks
what shall become Of the prisoners
discharged from our Jails.
In 1900 the Workhouse was be-
ing erected. She expresses her dis
appointment that 1t is not a State
institution. The House passed the
bill but the Senators of Kent and
Sussex County voted against 1t.
1T was my privilege TO meet Mrs.
Smithers at the State Annual con-
vention Of the women's Christian
Temperance Union at Smyrna in
October when she gave her annual
report and had secured Warden
Plummer to speak TO the Convention
about the workhouse."

in; and while the architecture of
Little Berlin remained for the most
part unaltered, the whole atmos-
phere of the place became that Of
Japan. On their part the Japanese
displayed greater energy even than
had the Germans. to give the city
its second transformation. There.
amid the incongruous German
buildings, biossomed the influence
and culture of Nippon. Indeed the
Japanese were more thorough than
their predecessors. BY the middle
of 1920 more than 5000 Japanese
had moved TO the city. Schools had
been established for teaching Chi
nese to the newcomers. as well as
the regular system of lower and
higher Japanese public schools.
Commerce through the port grew
amazingly. most OF the ships, of
course, flying the Japanese flag.

lea, but through commerce II has

RECORD DEMAND FOR
FORD CARS, TRUCKS

! According to a statement issued
by the Ford Motor Company, de-
liveries of Ford cars and trucks to
retail buyers during the month Of
/ November totalled 106,327. This
is new high sales record that has
never before been approached by
the company at this season of the
year and one which stands out in
marked contrast TO the November
1921 retail delivery figures which
totalled slightly over $4,000 cars and
trucks.
For eight consecutive months, be-
ginning with April 1 of this year re-
tail deliveries have exceeded 100,-
600 Ford cars and trucks each
month, the accumulated total for
the first eleven months of 1922 be-
ing approximately 1900, 1000. While
the company points out that it is not
unusual for Ford retail sales to ex-
ceed the 100000 mark during the
spring and early summer months
when the demand is at its peak.
the manDer in which business had
held up throughout the balance Of
the year, is without precedent.
Credit for this remarkable show
ing is attributed by the Ford Motor
Company 10 the many improvements
which have lately been made on
Ford cars and particularly to the
new low level of Ford prices, re-
Gently put into effect. These new
low prices not only broaden the field
of prospective Ford purchasers but
go still further in making the Ford
car the best value from the stand
point of the retail buyer, that it has
even been.
Although the Ford factories have
past eight months, sales have
equalled production and judging
from the unusual manner in which
orders are coming in at this season
of the year Ford dealers will be un-
able to accumulate an adequate
stock of cars during the winter
months for delivery next spring.
In the opinion of the Ford Motor
Company, November sales are an
indication that many prospective
purchasers, realizing the exceptional
NdiueS now DeluB OIeIeu III OIo
cars are beginning TO anticipate an
unusual spring demand and are
therefore placing orders during the
fall and will continue to do so
throughout the winter to avoid dis
appointing delays in delivery later
on. While this will relieve the stu
alton TO some extent, it is pointed
out that the steadily increasing de-
mand for Ford cars is nevertheless
sure to create an acute shortage as
the season advances.
Accordingly, the Ford sales or
ganization is urging prospective
Ford purchasers to arrange for de-
livery during the winter months in
order that the demand next spring
will be relieved as far as possible.
