ANOTHER STILL
man IS IN JAIL
Bollis Markevich, Local Baker, Quit
Making Bread in Favor of
Booze Which IL Said to
Be the Best Ever

There seems to be no end of
"stills" in Humboldt county and
each day sees a new outfit placed
away in the repository in the county
Jail where Sheriff G. w. Brady has
one Of the most extensive and COM
prehensive exhibits ever grouped in
this state, not excepting the array
at federal headquarters at Carson
City.
Sheriff Brady, accompanied by
Officers X. G. Lamb and Perry
Boyd, paid a social call to. Bollis
Markovich, tenant on the P. H.
Carlson chicken ranch near the auto
camp grounds, last evening, and
found him in a state of intoxication
that indicated Markovich had been
consuming his own medicine. Mar
kovich was courteous and SO were
the officers, for they insisted that
he should reverse the role of guest,
and he was given one of the steam
heated suites at the county jail.
The prisoner will remain there until
the federal authorities have taken
action.
The officers found Markovich pos
sessed of a part of the still which
he is reported to have been operat-
ing. A part of the coil, the siphon,
goose necks and a half gallon of
moonshine was taken in the raid.
Markovich is said to have used in
gradients in booze manufacture that
conform to the pure food laws,
dried fruits being used more extern
sively by him than the usual mash,
although quantity of the last
named article was found and de-
stroyed.
Markovich was formerly a local
baker and, according to the officers,
forsook the dough mixer and oven
for the more lucrative vocation Of
bootlegging. He is alleged to haxe
been a very industrious booze ped
dlar for the last several months and
competed strongly for the local
trade.

BANKER PREDICTS
PROSPEROUS YEAR
Vice-Presidsnt Knowles of Wingfield
Banks Reports Good Signs Are
Apparent in All Parts of
the State of Nevada

Speaking in a statewide sense,
Nevada business and financial con-
ditions can be expected to improve
as the months pass and next sum-
mer this state should be enjoying a
healthy business revival" said L. w.
Knowles, vice-president of the First
National Bank of Winnemucca and
occupying the same position in nu-
merous "Wingfeld" banks in this
state, being actively in charge Of
affairs of the Reno National bank.
Mr.. Knowles is in Winnemucca to-
day to attend meetings of the board
of directors and stockholders of the
First National.
Boom conditions will. not pre-
vail, nor will the improvement be
spectacular, but a gradual and con-
tinued betterment will be noticed"
Mr.. Knowles has reached this
opinion after frequent trips over
the state in his capacity as vice.
president Of different banks, which
of course gives him a clearer insight
into actual conditions than is the
privilege Of other men.
Conditions for the sheep men we
all know, of course, have improved
wonderfully during recent weeks,
with an exceedingly strong tendency
in the Boston wool market. With
my associates" continued Mr..
Knowles, 81 believe the situation of
the cattlemen of this state is bound
to improve. In the two industries
we see a brighter outlook for all
Of northern Nevada.
"In Virginia City the improve
ment in the mining situation is
marked, the Comstock payroll hav-
ing been increased fifty per cent on
January 1. The United Comstock
company Is going ahead with work
on. American Flat, I understand,
and four million dollars will have
been expended before a pound of
ore Is treated. This means tre-
mendous business activity both now
and particularly after the works
have been established and are turn
ing out bullion regularly.
Another good indication at Vir-
ginia City is an option taken by the
Schwartz & Corey interests, which
believe will be exercised. If this
deal goes through it means another
investment Of at least three millions
Of dollars and consequent increase
In general business.
"In Tonopah improved labor con-
ditions are resulting in more pro-
duction and indications there are
for greater activity in the spring.
"In Ely there is a persistent ru-
NOR, apparently well founded, that
the copper works will be running on
a forty per cent basis May l, with
q gradual increase in activities.

Of the state looking forward opti-
mistically to the future, with such
good prospects Of fruition that l be-
lieve it safe to say business condi-
tions generally in this state will
soon be benefited"

ent trip to banks over the state
alone, George Wingfeld,. whom he

by DR.. Morrison as being very So

FORD PRICES ARE NOW
SOLD AT RECORD PRICES

c. E. Haviland, Ford distributor
for this county, has received notice
Of a further reduction in prices of
Ford cars and trucks, effective on
the 10th of this month. The price
cuts are not radical, varying, it is
said, from about seven dollars to
forty-ive dollars, depending upon
the class of conveyance offered for
sale. Mr.. Hayiland's wire from the
San Francisco agency, advising him
Of the new figures, was dated
Saturday and is as follows:
Persistent rumors relative to our
reducing prices makes a slight re-
duction advisable, despite the pres
ent rock-bottom prices. Therefore,
the following list Of prices for cars
in Winnemucca freight added from
Detroit) will be placed in effect on
the 18th instant:
Touring car, $5s7.75; roadster,
$S4S.5l; sedan, $7ss.59; coupe,
$720.91; truck chassis, $554.54.
Price of tractor has also been re-
duced. These prices include self
starter and demountable rims.
"The price Of the starter re-
mains at $40 and demountable rims
are $25."
1t is said that these prices are
the lowest ever placed in effect by
the Ford factory. The cars still
sell at higher figure on the Pacific
coast than was the case several
years ago, but this is accounted for
by the advanced rail rates which
operate against the people of the
western states on every commodity
that enters into the living scheme.

forbidden by his physicians to take
his usual active part in bank affairs.
Mr.. Knowles characterizes Mr..
Wingfeld's illness as a "pinched
nerve CENTER" the result of fall
when Mr.. Wingfeld slipped on a
rug in his home. Improvement in
his condition is gradual and he will
be under physicians care for some
time to come.
Mr.. Knowles will return to Reno
this evening.
