c0RToN OIL IN CAKE
IS CAUSE OF ILLNESS

The illness Of eighteen men at
the cement plant at Ludwig was un-
doubleday due to presence Of corton
oil In cake served at their boarding
place. according to the results Of
analysis Of the food made at the
university Of Nevada. According
to information received at the indus
trial commission headquarters the
drug was probably placed in the
cake by an employe who was dis
charged q couple Of days before
the men becamen sick.
The matter was brought to the at
tention Of the industrial commission
through inquiries II the men would
be entitled to compensation under
provisions Of the industrial insur-
ance act. The commission ruled
that the men cannot recover from
the insurance funds, the illness not
having arisen during the course Of
employment and not having resulted
from any hazard Of the employment.

limitation on highway construction

machinery in motion in an effort Il
defeat the new legislation, were dis.
patched by Gov. Boyle yesterday
thus bringing to public attention the
fact that eastern congressional rep
resentatives again are endeavorins
to check federal cooperation in
road construction in the west.
The bill which was introduced q
few days ago by Representative
Dunn of New York provides that
government funds devoted to high
way construction shall be limited to
$4,000 per mile. Should this bill
pass It would change the proportion
Of federal funds under the good
roads program from six-sevenths
to about one-third Of the total, thus
placing the heaviest burden on the
state. The approximate cost OF
concrete highway construction Is
$4,000 a mile.

ELk0 EDITOR ON
RECENT STORM

The Elko Free Press editor has
the following to say in the Saturday
issue Of his Newspaper:
Unprecedented weather for this
time Of the year continues to pre-
vail. Old timers declare that new
er in the history Of the white peo-
pie in Nevada has such stubborn
spring been experienced. Unless
warm weather starts Immediately,
and snowstorms cease, the cattle
and sheep situation as well rs the
general agricultural situation Of this
portion Of the country will become
acute in short time.
Nearly a foot Of snow fell on
Elko during the last twenty-four
hours while in outlying districts
with higher elevations the depth at
tanned by the snow is reported to
have been two feet on the level
with drifts from three to five feet
deep. At Lamoille eighteen inches
Of new snow was reported last
night. Drifts Of snow three feet
deep were encountered on the road
between Elko and Lamoille In the
vicinity Of Rabbit Creek.
The storm Il . blow to stockmen
and especially to the sheepmen. The
feeding situation Il becoming more
acute daily and heavy losses are
expected il the weather does not
clear up ct once.
$50 serious is the feed situation
becoming that stockmen along the
railroads are reported to be moving
their cattle to places where feed
Is available. Further cattle move

RECOMMENDS THAT
RAIL RATES STAND

Proposals Of transcontinental rail-
roads to modify present freight
schedules in Rocky Mountain and
Pacific Coast territory to meet wa
ter competition in the coast-to-coast
and coast-to-gulf trade were az.
haustively analysed today in a re.
port made to the interstate COM
merce commission by Examiner
Disque who recommended that the
applications Of the roads be re.
jected in part but granted in several
particulars.
The report II accepted by the
commission will guide final decis-
ions fixing the new status of rates,
On the main proposal by which
railroads seek to establish lower
rates from eastern producing ter
ritory to Pacific Coast ports than
they maintain from the same points
OF origin to Spokane, Salt Lake
City, Reno and other cities in inter-
mountain territory, the examiner
proposed that the committee deny
the necessary authority. Under the
long and short haul clause of the
interstate commerce act such rate
standards may not be established b.
railroads without commission al.
proval and the examiner held that
the commission was not yet able Ia
show that the sea carriers had at.
fected the traffic situation suffic.
iently to justify an exception.
Favorable recommendation, how.
ever, was given on railroad applica-
tions for power to grant the lower
rates to Pacific Coast ports on sui.
phnr from Louisiana and on coffee
moving from and through Galveston
and New Orleans. On eastbound
traffic in wool from Pacific Coast
ports 1t was also recommended that
the carriers be allowed to give low.
er rates than on wool shipped ia
the same destinations from inland
points and the single application OF
the Southern Pacific line for the
right to make similar adjustments
on canned goods shipped east from
California territory was likewise
approved.
It was further recommended that
the application for lower rates on
certain commodities from the gull
ports to Pacific Coast ports be de-
MED.

THE RANGE CONDITIONS

The United States weather bur
cans weekly bulletin on weather,
crop and range conditions in Ne
vada, il additional testimony to
the hardships endured by live stock
in this state, due to the late spring
and unfavorable conditions. The
bulletin says:
1.-THE cold, blustery weather was
unfavorable for livestock. In the
Winnemucca district some sheepmen
are waiting until the lambing sea-
son Is over before starting to shear
their focks. Cattle are holding
weight better than sheep. The
growth of grass is being retarded
by cold weather. Creeks are mod
erately high and foothills are soft
and muddy.
"In the northern counties the
condition Of sheep 10 poor and range
cattle are generally in fair condi-
ton. Alfalfa and other grasses are
growing slowly. Garden planting
has started in some places. The
snow is melting slowly in the foot
hills and much Of the moisture Is
going into the ground. Fall sown
crops are In excellent condition.
I'm central districts cattle and
sheep are in good condition con-
sidering the severe winter which
they have been through. Shearine
will be delayed until after lambine
on account Of the cold weather.
"In all sections of the state the
snow cover in the mountains il
thirty to fifty per cent greater than
normal for this season Of the year.
Many agricultural areas are still
covered with snow. The outlook IL
good for an abundance Of water.
Roads are good in the extreme south
portion and fair in the lower ele-
vations elsewhere; in higher eleva-
tions they are muddy"

was at this point Of the game that
Louise Paine was taken out of the
game for individual fouls and Evange-
line Moore was substituted as guard.
The score was again tied at 13 and
also at 10, and it was not until near
the end Of the game thpt the junction
girls made any headway. They made
two more baskets, making the final
score 17-14 in Grand Junction's favor.
The boys game was undoubtedly
the best game Of the season, and the
rooters were kept at high tension
throughout the entire battle. The To-
cal team scored the first few points
and at the end of the first half had
the long end of the SO score. The
second half was fast and furious, the
ball being hurled first from one goal
to the other, and the score accordingly
swaying first in one teams favor and
then the other. Both sides displayed
unusually good team work althssgh
Glenwood was little weak ON free
balls. The best kind of spirit was
shown during the game and Referee
Baum of Grand Valley was very fair
in his decisions. The Tigers came out
victors, the score showing 21-1e in
their favor.

won by few points at Aspen, and
the girls lost their first game at

money right and left. Their machine
was practically perfect. But the naval

"But wait, Ruth. He was elected.
Then started the most contemplate
campaign Of personal attack against
him that was possibly ever waged be-
fore in the history OF this country
against one man. A state investiga-
tion was instituted. A senate com.
mittee was formed to investigate and
it dragged day after day, month after
month. Finally three years after he
was elected the matter reached the
floor Of the senate and this fine Amer
lean, clean Of any guilt as to the
charges against him-a man Of action,
not speaker-arose on the floor Of
the senate, not to explain or escape
responsibility, but to present the plain
facts of his case. The senate listened.
Men who had been undecided how to
vote, whether to put him out or vote
that his seat was rightfully obtained,
began to wonder. As he talked, sin
cerely and quietly, men began to re-
alize that he had been unjustly &C.
cused. He did not try to escape any
responsibility; he simply gave the
facts as he knew them.
The next day the senate voted and,
as I had hoped and felt sure, Truman
h. Newberry was seated. He was vim
dicated and took his place as he should
as the representative Of the people Of
his state. 1t is to be hoped that NO
man will ever again have to face the
hours of worry and bad feeling caused
by unfair enemies, as has Truman

that he was fairly elected and fairly
freed of the charges against him. Now
