DUNN BOUGHT 100000
POUNDS OF ELKO WOOL

Last Saturday the largest sale Of
this seasons wool in Elko county
was sold by the Henderson Banking
Company to Harry Dunn, buyer for
]. Koshland & Co. Of Boston, the
sale consisting of 100000 pounds,
the clip of sixteen local wool own
ers. While the price has not been
made known it is said that it was
around thirty cents, says the Free
Press.
Mr.. Dunn last year bought the
largest amount of wool in Elko
county and paid an average Of four
teen cents, the sale being made
through the bank. The increased
price of this years wool means an
increase of many thousands to the
sheepmen. Mr.. Dunn says that the
wool production from Elko county
this year will total fully two million
pounds, and of this amount but
100000 pounds besides the sale
made by him, is all that has been
sold to date, and that the increase
in price to more than double last
years price will mean much for the
prosperity of the sheepmen.

NEWS ENCOURAGING

Both foreign and domestic wool
markets continued firm with sharp
rises during the past month and
heavy buying not only in foreign
markets but in contracting for Ter
ritory woods in our own country,
says the Nevada Stockgrower.
Woolen mills in this country are
active, production having increased
toward the end of 1921 to as high
point as reached in 1919 and with
120 per cent increase of Decem-
ber II, 1921, as compared with De-
cember, 1920.
The government wool sale held at
Boston on February 2, of seven mil
lion pounds, was reported big sue

vance averaging 20 per cent over
the January sale. But four and
one-half million pounds of wool re-

to be auctioned on March 2, closing
the government out of the wool
business.

America, Australia and New Zea.

ROAD MATTERS REPORTED
AT YESTERDAYS LUNCH

The outstanding feature of yes
terday's chamber of commerce
luncheon was the luncheon itself, in
the opinion of many hungry Win
nemucca boosters, thereby proving
that the quickest way to mere mans
heart is his stomach rather than his
pocketbook. The luncheon, one of
those kind that require about two
hours loafing before the daily grind
is again taken up, was prepared by
members of the Women's Benefit
Association of the Maccabees, and
also proved Secretary Grady's wis
dom in engendering competition
among the different organizations
serving Wednesday noon luncheons.
P. Y. ellison of Reno, identified
with the state tax commission, was
present, and paid Humboldt county
some nice compliments, saying
among other things that this county
creates less worry for the commits
sion than any other.
Humboldt county's participation
in the building of the Victory high
way was gone into by Secretary
Grady, his talk taking the form of
report from the committee of ten
members who went to Reno to at
tend sessions of the Overland Trail
club. Most of the point in this con-
nection have heretofore been
covered in press reports. All around,
Grady said, members of the COM
mittee felt they had accomplished
considerable good.

WINNEMUccA BANKER

Won Verdict for Client

Won Verdict for Client
Attorney Cliff Robins telephoned
to his law partner, L. G. Campbell
this afternoon, stating that the
Elko jury that considered the case
of their client, Tony Madeiras
charged with murder, declared him
guiltless at 8 o'clock this afternoon
This has been one of the hard.
fought legal contests of Nevada and
the acquittal is considered distinct
victory for the law firm handling
the accused mans affairs. The fact
that his gun was rifled a certain
way and the bullet recovered from
the body of the man killed showed
that it was fired from a gun with q
trajectory of a different kind, j.
said to have carried conviction to
the minds Of the jurors that Madei
ras is not the murderer.

TO SEEK OFFICER
IN THIS COUNTY
Civic Organizations and Better Class
of People Are to Strive for
Improved Conditions in
Winnemucca

A movement is on foot in this
county, fashioned after others put
forward in different parts of Nevada
which eliminated in the appoint
ment of prohibition enforcement
officials, changed ideals in the minds
of many, and is bringing into ac-
tuality a general uplift. The notion
is rapidly growing in Humboldt
county minds that all too many
human parasites exist, yes even
thrive, at the expense of human
weakness, and there is a growing
tendency to depart from the old
fashioned and illogical viewpoint
that certain of these gentry are
concomitants of society which
though deplored must be endured.
Nothing is further from the truth
than that the bootlegger, the
macquero, his unfortunate women
consorts, the gamblers and others
of their ilk, are necessary in the
social scheme.
The Civic Club of this city repre-
sents the pure womanhood of the
community. Being the pure woman
hood, wholesome and constructive
ideals are also represented. The
personnel of the Winnemucca civic
body of women is extraordinary in
that it also counts brains and initia-
tive in a surprising sense, and when
these good women get into action
there is no limit to the possible ac-
complishment.
The conviction is rapidly growing
in this county that in the final
analysis single thing counts,
broadly classified, and that single
thing is useful production. Pro-
ducing nothing the parasites enum-
Grated within this story are to be
made the butt of a movement which
is aimed at their elimination. The
old and insidious and insistent state
ment that such classes of humanity
are creative of business is deemed
by many people to be wrong; wrong
economically and what's vastly more
important, wrong morally. This
county has a tremendous store of
wealth, potential now but to be ac-
tual in the years to come, in its
childhood. Men and women of the
right sort believe in better en-
vironment than is afforded here at
this juncture.
A most impelling thing is the de-
sire to safeguard the welfare of
childhood and those of the grown-up
population who are weak and sue
cumb to the wiles of the denizens
of the districts where men and
women toll not, but capitalize hu-
man weakness and thrive therefrom.
There is reverson of public senti-
ment in this county that has fol
lowed in quick succession the Ii
quor trials in the Humboldt county
district court and people of analyti-
cal mind deem these trials distinct
miscarriages of justice. The trials
in question brought out in bold re-
lief the fact that things are not just
as they should be here and move
ment will soon be under way that
will result in eliminating the boot
logging privilege and it is not with
out the bounds of possibility that
the city executives will be asked to
lay down additional restrictions or
the gambling privilege in this city
that will make very hard indeed the
way of the crooked gambler.

Mrs. Reynolds DEPARTED

Mrs. F. w. Reynolds, widow of

city as pastor of the Baptist church,
left last night for Riverside, Calf,
where she will engage in work in an
orphan asylum. She will have
charge of the younger inmates, the
charges of the charitable institu-
ton being divided into classes.
