LOvEL0CK VALLEY
HAY IS BEING CUT

Lovelock ranchers who are plan.
ming on cutting three crops Of
alfalfa hay this season started cut
ting the first crop Monday. Cut.
ting, however, will not become gen.
eral over the valley until next Mon.
day.
The present outlook is very en-.
couraging, and it is expected that
the finest yield that the farmers
have ever had will be cut this sea-
son. The water situation is splen-
did, and the rise in the river has
been slow and gradual from the
cold spring, causing no damage
from flooding.
Dan Pitt, F. C. Biddleman, E. A.
Perez and James Kjeldsen have
started haying with the intention
Of cutting three crops. The larger
ranches do not plan on cutting the
third crop, as they will sell it out
for feeding purposes.
Very extensive work is being &C.
complished in the lower valley on
the Big Five ranch, where more
than 500 acres have already been
broken, seeded to alfalfa and ir-
rigated. Before the close of the
season it is planned to have a
Thousand more acres in alfalfa.
Ben Ferguson is managing the Big
Five interests.
William R. McCulloch, manager
of the Pitt Ranching Compeny, de-
parted with a large crew Of hay
hands for Unionville Monday morn
ing. Haying will start there i'm
mediately.
Haying hands are very scarce at
present. Those of the ranchers
who are starting haying early are
experiencing considerable difficulty
in procuring full crews. The ranch
ers are offering $3.50 per day and
board.

NIXON OPERA HOUSE CASE
REHEARINC REQUESTED

An appeal from Humboldt
county district court decision re-
fusing new trial in the case OF
Kate l. Nixon against eleven Winnie
mucca citizens for the recovery of
the Nixon opera house was filed in
the state supreme court yesterday.
Mrs. Nixon won in the lower court
and a rehearing was denied by
Judge C. McFaden.
The opera house was decided to
the town of Winnemucca as a gift
by Senator George S. Nixon. Fol-
lowing the senator's death, Mrs.
Nixon, her son, Bertram E., and the
Nixon Estate Company sued to re-
cover the property on the ground
that it had been community prop
erty and that she had not given her
consent to the transfer. Her con-
tention was upheld.-Carson Appeal.

NO ADVANTAGES
IN Conventions

The concensus of opinion as re-
fiected in printed reports through
out the state would indicate that the
changes in the election laws, re-
quiring county mass meetings. and
conventions Of the political parties
have not contributed anything SUBJ
stantial to the primary or added to
its effectiveness or popularity. The
ultimate result may be to solidify
party organization through enliv-
ened interest, but the general
limited attendance at thes recent
party functions does not strengthen
that viewpoint. However, it is some
thing new, or a partial revival of
the old, and future events may
justify these provisions of the law,
which to date have evoked no signs
of enthusiasm, in either of the ma
jor parties.
Denison Bill Held

the congestion of the Senate calen-

The bill has met with strenuous OPP
position in western states, and the
news that it has been sidetracked
Temporarily, at least, will be well

RE- HEARING ASKED
IN P|cKF0RD CASE

CARSON CITY.--Attorney Gen.
eral Fowler of Nevada filed a pc
tition in the state supreme court
asking that tribunal for a rehearing
of its recent decision upholding the
divorce of Mary Pickford and Owen
Moore, motion picture stars.
The petition of the attorney gen.
eral replied to the decision that a
section Of the Nevada statutes d.
recting the attorney general to por-
tect the interests of the state was
inapplicable to the present case,
saying:
"The interest of this state in d.
vorce case existed prior to the
adoption of the section involved.
The language Of the section makes
it the duty Of the attorney gen.
eral to commence action and de-
fend actions to protect and secure
the interests of the state"
Fowler claimed that the mere
fact that the statute has not been
previously utilized by the attorney
general for the purpose Of en-.
deavoring to set aside a fraudulent
divorce decree cannot effect the
statute itself. A failure to exercise
the power or declination or omis-
sion to preform a duty under the
statute cannot impair the statute
ITSELF"

DEMOCRATS IN DOUGLAS
COUNTY NOT ORGANIZED

The Gardnerville Record-Courier
says:
The Democratic party in this
county is seemingly without organi-
cation and no attempt was made to
comply with the new election law
that calls for mass meetings and the
election of delegates to county con-
vention. This, however, does not
mean that there are no Democrats
in Douglas county and at the COM
ing election it will be found that
adherents Of that party are very
much in evidence.
