WOMEN TO WORK
FOR LAW CHANGE

A movement designed to bring
about an amendment to the COM
munity property law of Nevada to
give wives "equal control" over
the community estate, will be laun-
ched at meeting to be held at the
Chamber of Commerce next Monday
afternoon under the auspices of
the Reno League of Women Voters.
The call for the meeting was made
today and it was announced that
H. w. Huskey will discuss the pres
ent community property law for the
enlightenment Of the women.
According to advices received
here the California Bar Association
is working on a similar amendment.
The women expect to embrace in a
resolution recommendation of the
California association. 1t is pointed
out that the situation is parallel be-
cause the Nevada and California
community property laws are iden-
tical.-Reno Gazette.

SHOPLlFTERS ARE BUSY
IN THE FALLON STORES

FALLON. = Juvenile shoplifters
have been invading stores of Fallon
during the present holiday shopping
season. according to the complaints
of eleven merchants, many of whom
declare that children have been
caught taking merchandise from dis
play counters.
"But don't place all the blame on
the children" said a department
head at one of the larger stores.
"There are some parents who should
be classed as expert shoplifters. We
know them. have seen them operate,
but so far have not the evidence to
convict"
School children are the main Of
tenders, however, according to store
keepers who have taken stolen goods
from them and sent them home with
severe reprimands. So far no ar
rests have been made. Busy clerks
during the holiday season and goods
on counters within easy reach are
factors which make shoplifting
easier at this time of the year. it is
said.
"One small boy was caught with
a $45 revolver in his clothing" said
a hardware dealer. "Toys, cards
and other articles have been taken
by these young shoplifters." ). ~

ONE REASON WHY
PRICES ARE HIGH

Once again we hear the old
familir cry -of "Do Your Christmas
Shopping Early" From the way
prices on toys and other things
necessary to gladden. the hearts Of
children are being held up, our ad-
vice would be to let these profteer-
ing birds sweat awhile and hold
their goods on their shevles. Maybe
they will change their minds about
that one thousand per cent profit
they expect to collect for toys they
bought for a song in Europe and
Japan.
Here are just a few samples of
the holdup on Christmas goods
taken from the American Press of
New York City: Jointed doll, bought
in Germany for 81 cents, sold by
F. A. Swartz. Fifth avenue, New
York, for $3.50; stone building

NEVADA RANCHER OWNS
PAPER PRINTED IN 1900

FALLON.-G. A. Price. Fallon
rancher, is willing to bet 500 that
he owns the oldest copy of news
paper in existence in Nevada. 1t is
a copy of the Ulster County New
York; Gazette, dated january 4,
1900. 1t contains an account of
the funeral of George Washington
and an expression of regret over
his death by John Adams, then
President of the United States.
Price says there is only one other
copy of the paper in existence and
that is in the congressional library.
That newspapers were valued as
advertising mediums in those days
as well as now. is shown by the
it contains, two of
which read:
"Strayed red bull: Any person
taking up said bull will be
thanked" the other: "For sale:

BOUNTY SYSTEM
PRESENTS GRAF
Buyers Of Furs Said to Be Shipping
Hides to Oregon to Collect
Bounty Fees, With Nevada
In the Same Danger

The fur-buying business is said to
be practically killed in Winnemucca
and probably elsewhere in the state
OF Nevada, by what is said to be a
well thought out plan of Idaho and
oregon men who come here to buy
furs at prices slightly above the
market and then transport them to
the northern states, particularly
oregon, and through a chain of ac-
completes collect the state bounties.
This practice is said to be particu-
larly noticeable at the county seat
town OF Burns, Oregon, where a
bounty Of SO and 81 is paid for every
coyote pelt taken by hunters. de-
pending upon the sex of the slain
animal. In this way, it is said,
the buyers are enabled to pay
more for furs than can local men,
even though the practice is prob
ably illegal in the states mentioned.
Nevada and California have stop
ped the practice of paying a bounty
on coyotes and other predatory ami
mails, and if stories are to be be-
lieved some of the Oregon counties
near the borders of these states are
feeling the pinch of added taxation,
and indeed it is said that their
treasures are becoming depleted,
because of the fact that they are
called upon to pay a bounty not
only upon furs taken in their own
state but also to large extent upon
those taken in other states. Talk is
prevalent, it is also said, that the
legislators of Oregon will be asked
to remove the bounty law because
of the abuse.
Such information might be valu-
able to Nevada Legislators, for the
reason that the proposition has re-
Gently been talked of to pass a law
making counties of Nevada pay ami
NAL bounties. Should Oregon re-
peal the law now operating there it
is easy to see where Nevada might
find itself in the unenviable position
Of the Oregon counties mentioned,
with hides from all other surrounding
states being shipped in for collec-
tion Of the bounty fee. At least
it is a matter that will stand in
vestigation and consideration. the

The matter also has the effect of
killing an industry. that has in the
past brought large sums into this
city in profits made by legitimate
fur buyers, who are able to COM
pete with others if circumstances
are equal. 1t is said that the city
Of Burns collects a daily license fee
Of SO from transient fur buyers, to
protect the local business men. and
it has been suggested that a similar
ordinance provision could be made
here with advantage to local busi-
ness men.

MOONSH|NER SHOT
PR0H| OFFICER
Federal Man Shot While On Raid
Lies in Snow for Eight Hours
But Will Recover; Pose
Now Hunting Offenders

Shot in the leg during a gun duel
in the dark with two bootleggers
near Palisade, and suffering from
exposure after lying eight hours in
the snow in zero weather, Prohibi-
ton Officer Atha ("Nick") Carter
is now in Reno hospital, and Off
Ger Pete Dubois, who carried the
wounded man for a half mile on his
shoulders and then walked ID miles
for aid, is sleeping his first sleep
in 72 hours.
At Palisade, posse headed by
United States Marshal j. H. Fulmer
and Prohibition Officer Percy Nash,
is ready to move forward on a
cabin on the Robert Raine ranch
about seven miles east of the town,
where it is believed that the two
escaped moonshiners and possibly
a third man have barricaded them
selves.
The story told by Carter and
Dubois of the midnight battle in
freezing weather armed with pistols
and the bootleggers armed with
rifles, and the subsequent narrowing
experiences of the wounded man,
miles from medical aid, outrivals
some of the bloodthirsty tales of
the movies.
Both men told in detail their ad-
ventures from the time they left
Reno early Tuesday morning until
they returned last night.
In company with a third man,
who drove the automobile from
Palisade to the spot where the still
was located, about eight miles away,
Carter and Dubois arrived at the
moonshine plant at 10 o'clock at
night.
Through a prearranged trap the
suspected bootleggers were informed
that the revenue men were after
them and it was thought that they
would Immediately head for the
still to destroy the evidence.
Dubois described how Carter and
himself lay in wait in the willows
with the third man, about 80 feet
away, saw lights flare up at the
ranchhouse and in the dim reflec-
tion on the snow recognized two
men approaching on horseback.
They halted about 80 feet away
from u.s." Dubois said, land we
heard them loading their rifles.
"One man, named Bob, who
seemed to be the head of the party
dismounted and instructed the other
man to stay on his horse while he
dumped the stuff telling him to
shoot the first - who sticks
his head up. I'm ready to die,
anyhow z'''.b
Both officers drew their guns
silently and yelled, "Stick up your
hands; you're under arrest"
The guard on the horse fired in
the direction of the sound. Dubois
declared they were in the shadow
of the willows and could not be
seen.
They returned the fire.
The man on the horse fred again,
and Carter, who had raised up to
his knee was hit.
"Bob," who had gone to destroy
the still, then got into action and
opened fire through the willows.
Dubois said this man fred two shots
that went over the backs of himself
and Carter.
Dubois put two shots in hte direc-
tion of "Bob." and he fed for his
horse. While Dubois was devoting
his attention to ''Bob," Carter sent

THIS PAPER To Be
PUBLISHED WEEKLY


Beginning with the issue Of Thurs
day. December 28, The Silver State
will be issued once each week on
Thursdays. This change may at
first glance appear radical, as read
ers have become accustomed to a
three-times-a-week paper. There are
valid reasons for the change, how
ever, and it Is the opinion of the
publisher that 1t is for the best in
terests of himself, the advertisers
and the subscribers. as the elimina-
ton of much unnecessary mechani-
cal labor Is bound to result in a bet
ter paper once . week than the
three issues rs at present con-
sittuted.
The subscription rate will be cut
In half, making It $3.50 per year II
paid in advance. or 25 cents Der
month straight for any period un-
der one year. This reduction in the
subscription will work out by ex-
actly doubling the time subscribers
are paid in advance Of January /.
For example, . subscriber paid to
May l, fve months after January
l, will be entitled to an extension
Of expiration date to five months
beyond May /, or to October /.
Detailed statements will be mailed
out showing the advanced subscrip-
ton dates to which Subscribers are
entitled. Advertisers will pay, of
course. only for the actual space
they use.
The tri-weekly Newspaper has al
ways ben recognized as an economi-
cal mistake in the minds of expert
enced Newspaper men. for the rea-
son that there Ia very little differ
ence In the cost Of production of
tri-weekly and . daily. requiring
the same number Of men and the
same amount Of equipment. because
with . daily, telegraph news comes
ready prepared, while with a tri-
weekly newspaper it il necessary
for reporters to comb the city
stgenuously to secure enough news
to ill the columns.
Since Humboldt county has been
divided II has become increasingly
difficult to secure an adequate sup
ply Of news to justify printing
tri-weekly psper. and as such divi-
sion appreciably cut down revenue
from the county for publishing le-
gal notices, and for commercial
printing. the problem Of securing
sufficient revenue to continue tri-
weekly publication has been also
growing one. And finally the gen.
sral countrywide depression has
made merchants feel that they must
cut down their advertising appro-
pristiona
A board Of county commissioners
who are prone 70 consider county
printing in the light of a graft,
rather than ~ . business proposition
In which the interests Of the tax
payers must be considered, has
furher complicated matters. but it
can only be = passing matter and
will be remedied.
On the other hand. believing as
we always have that the tri-weekly
newspaper Ii an economic mistake,
we are firmly Of the opinion that
readers and advertisers can be bet
ter served by the change about to
be made.
In the first place. as conditions
now are, the publisher Of this news
paper Is kept within the printing
office by mechanical requirements
