BRITAIN WILL PROFIT
Coal Dealers See Sure Chance to Gain
 by situation in Germany.

London, Jan. g. By Associated Press) )-Whateve the political out come of the Ruhr occupation, British coal owners expect to profit by the situation. German inquiries for coal have made the British and Welsh coal fields active and prices have already hardened. It is stated. however. that there will be some delay in filling any orders for Germany because the Brit ish exporters stipulate that payennt must be deposited in sterling with London or Dutch banks.
 The Daily Mail reviving the story that Hugo Stinnes is trying to arrange a big deal here for steel and coal says that three of the magnate's agents have already contracted for delivery of coal worth 1.50n.oo0 pounds with in the next six months The news paper says that Shines himself hopes to come here and arrange for further purchases

WAGES AND INDIANS

It Is currently rumored among
the farmers of this Valley that In
dian laborers will demand SIS per
day during the coming harvest per-
iod, and is the result of misapplied
advice of those who should know
better than to agitate any such
wage.
The Indians of Carson Valley
have not been Disseminated against
in the matter of wages paid by farm
ers and have always received the same
daily compensation as the whites.
As a whole, the Indians make good
laborers and the more industrious
members of the tribe have no diff
Guilty in finding work.
Farmers of Carson Valley cannot
afford to pay hay men SIS per day
and who ever put such a notion
into the heads Of the local Indians,
can be classified as a radical agi-
tator. The Indians will receive the
same wage as the whites engaged in
farm work. 1t is true that there is
a shortage of labor in Carson Val
ley, and the help of the Indians
will be required during the haying
season, but a few farmers have
declared they will let hay rot in
the field before they will pay men
SIS day and board. At that wage
the crop would cost considerably
more than it will bring.-Gardner-
vile Record Courier.

Freight rate reductions believed
justifiable under existing conditions
are sought in a movement, step in
which was a gathering of represen-
tatives of numerous communities
with E. H. Walker, traffic manager
of the Reno chamber of commerce,
the reduction in question to be
asked of the Southern Pacific.
Fallon, Litchfield and Susanville,
represented by Carl F. Dodge, B.
F. Gibson and C. E. Lawson, re-
spectively, are asking the freight
rate cuts to Pacific coast points, in
GLIDING San Francisco, Sacramento,
Stockton, Santa Rosa and Petaluma.
Cattle feed in the form of alfalfa
flour and meal is the commodity
with which the representatives ar
most concerned at this time. The
present rate Is $50. The road is
preparing to publish SIS rate, it lis
said, but the shippers and producers
say that a 81 rate would be more
equitable one, so they will ask the
road for such a rate.-Gazette.

taking the odd lengths of type from

of all the equipment that a human

to work with speed Of a shuttle, the
whole complicated knowledge Of
printing style at fingertips, plus real
editorial judgment. Brain and hand
must work as one and at top speed.

president Harding is one of the
fastest makeup men ever SEEM" was
the opinion of The Tribune's fore
man, Mr.. Bardsley. The whole COM
posing room force of The Tribune,
crowded around the makeup table
and watching like SO many expert
critics for a blunder, ratified the
verdict. Which will doubtless sur
prise a good many Americans who
do not know just what being a
country editor means.
AS matter Of fact, if any other
business involves as varied a train
ing as that of getting out a small
town newspaper we don't know what
it is. Becoming an expert printer is
but one part of a labor that extends
all the way from running ones err
rands to editorializing about the
state or the nation. When Mrs.
Harding reached the Tribune mail
room she remarked that she felt
especially at home there, for that
was he part Of "The Marion Star"
that she had run. That is typical,
too. Being a Ben Franklin in
America calls in the whole family,
just as it brings into play every
sort of mental and physical ability
of the "owner and editor" Is
there a better education for the
presidency, we wonder?-New York

A DISCONCERTINC
SUGGESTION

A matter of vital importance to
the far west, that was thought to
have been settled, has again been
put into the realm of uncertainty
by the action Of the department of
justice in suggesting that the South
ern Pacific-Central Pacific owner
ship case be reheard by the supreme
court. Boiled down, the question
at issue is shall the Southern Pa
cific retain or release its hold on the
Central Pacific. A recent decision
of the supreme court ordered a
dissolution of the bonds that have
made the two corporations practi-
cally one. The interstate commerce
commission, which is supposed to be
the final authority in railroad regu-
lation, ruled that the combination be
permitted to continue, ION the
gound Of public interest"
After a great deal of propa-
ganda work and legal pickering, it
has seemed to be the concensus
of opinion that the position of the
commerce commission is the proper
one, and the only real opponent to
that proposition-the Union Pacific
Railroad company has acquiesced
in it.
Assuming that the matter had
been definitely settled on that basis,
the Southern Pacific has entered in
TO arrangements with other western
roads for improved service to the
public and begun campaign of re-
pairing its existing lines and build
ing new ones that would be an
inestimable help in developing the
resources Of the regions it serves,
among the vast expanse of unde-
veloped Nevada. 1t is regrettable
that this program has been halted,
if not killed. What the supreme
court will do in the matter is of
course problematical. We western
ers hope that it will do something,
md do it quickly, that will allow the
Southern Pacific or some other great
railroad to help US develop.-Tono-
pah Bonanza.

ALMOST ROAD CRAZY

Now that the secretary of agri-
culture has settled the controversy
between the Lincoln Highway As
ISOLATION and the Victory Associa-
ton, it is time for the people of
Nevada to get down to brass tacks
and evolve some plan by which
the natural resources of the state
can be developed to secure its share
of the funds for building the roads
without bankrupting the taxpayers.
The fact is that the whole country
has gone crazy on the subject of
roads. Good roads are fine things
to have, but there are grave doubts
whether the rank and file of the
taxpayers receive returns from the
money invested in sand and papered
roads, commensurate with the enor-
nous sums expended and the con-
sequent burden of taxation. For a
few months Of the year the tourists
leave a few dollars along the route
for living EXPENSE and the purchas
of gasoline. The ranchers, miners
and workers at large are not par
ticularly benefited. The ranchers
drive their crops to market. The
mines haul their output to the rail-
road scarcely, if ever, over a trans
continental road. The ordinary
citizens takes an occasional joy-ride
to the cities. The railroads bear
a heavy burden Of taxes to assist
in building competitive thorough
fares, and all are taxed beyond
reason. These transcontinental roads
are not even a good advertisement
for the state. The ordinary tourist
may comment on the roads but
nine out of every ten will ask,
What are your resources? We
don't see anything but desert
wastes" IL one half of the money
expended on the through highways
were devoted each year for recla-
nation purposes, Nevada would soon
double in population and in tax
able property and then it would be
time to advertise what Nevada is
doing by concreting or macadamiz-
ing continental koads. We would
have something to show along the
routes.-Reese River Reveille.

SAFEGUARDING THE MILK
SUPPLY

The introduction of an ordinance
safeguarding the milk supply of
the city is step in the RICH direc-
ton. While there is no need Of an
ordinance of this character to be
too drastic, its provisions should be
strong enough, and its interpreted
ton elastic enough SO that the
proper officials can at all times have
control Of the milk situation, and
insure the delivery of nothing but
clean, wholesome milk to the peo-
pie.
And the same authority should
have the power to rule that no milk
shall be delivered in Sparks from any
place that is not maintained in a
clean and wholesome manner, re-

THEORY AND PRATIcE

Warden Salter, addressing the
Lions Club in Reno, a few days
since, declared that prisons are an
economic waste unless useful and
profitable employments are found
for the inmates .and a training in
some occupation given the prisoner
whereby he can earn an honest liv-
ing upon his release from prison.
The warden's theory is no doubt
sound, but to find the industry that
will furnish the profit and at the
same time train men in a line Of
work in which their services will
be in demand in the general labor
market is a problem that the warden
is likely to find a trifle difficult

Big Crop of Berries
George Hussman last year
planted three-quarter acre tract to
strawberries as a matter of ex-
pertinent. The plants thrived and
last year gave a fair yield. Special
care was given the plants this
spring and despite the cold and un-
favorable weather, are now bearing
prolifically and as high as twelve
crates of choice berries are being
picked daily.
Last year Mr.. Hussman made no
attempt to market the berries, but
gave them away to friends. This
year he has engaged pickers and is
selling the berries at $40 per
case and is having no difficulty in
disposing of the crop. However,
the production is, daily increasing

that was turned to avoid another
