MELON GROWERS
RETURNS GOOD

Information received by the Reno
National bank indicates that melon
growers in the Fernley district are
receiving excellent returns for this
years cantaloupe crop.
Settlements have been SLOW"
says H. X. Kennedy, cashier of the
bank, but the reurns which are
coming in now show that the better
crops are netting the growers 500
to $3.50 an acre. These profits are
shown after all charges for interest,
water, labor and the like, have been
deducted.
Zone field of ten acres" he add
ed, brought the grower $3.50 an
acre gross. The owner figured that
his total expense, including his own
labor, was $3.50 an acre, leaving
him a net of $160.
Returns from melons and pota-
toes are highly encouraging in the
Fernley district, and are a strong
argument for diversifeation of crops
as a partial solution of the hay
situation"

THIRTY MILLION
MARKS ON LETTER

Otte Link received a letter from
Germany last week which cost the
sender 30,000,000 marks. Before
the war a German mark was worth
approximately 20 cents and at this
rate the amount to send the letter
would have been s7,500,000 OF
enough to have bought half the
farms in Carson Valley.
The letter gave a few of the cur
rent prices in Germany. For in
stance a package of matches costs
three billion marks. A yard of ging-
ham sells for fifteen billion marks,
and for a mere pound of sngn "a
people of Germany count out three
and half billion marks. A loaf
of bread is cheap at billion marks,
while one pound of lard sets the
German housewife back a mere
twelve billion marks. A pound of
meat sells for one billion marks, a
pound of sugar three billion marks,
while a pound of flour is worth six
hundred billion marks. A sack of

would come into their own. Under
present conditions the inducements
to a man seeking home are too re-
mote and uncertain. Wild Horse Is
80 miles from the railway, the most
remote postoffice in the United
States, and yet that same. county
ould make self-supporting more peo-
pie than the city of San Francisco
contains. The construction of the
road in question is of vital i'm
portance to Nevada and California.
1t delivers to Sacramento and San
Francisco a country larger IN ex-
tent than several states of the
union. A rancher in Jordan Valley,
200 miles northeast of, Winnemueca,
in journeying to California, must
travel over 1900 miles, if he goes
by hoof and train. The construc-
ton of the Winnemucca Northern
takes him to Sacramento within a
distance of $50 miles; to San Fran
cisco, $50 miles.
The whole proposition is without
an Objectionable feature from any
standpoint. The road will be con-
structed, without a question of
doubt, and when it is an era of
prosperity will come to the coun-
try served that will pour many
thousands of dollars in the lap of
Nevada, Idaho and California and
which will far exceed the output of
all the mines in Nevada.
L. G. Wilson, formerly associated
with H. Warren in the practice of
law, has located at Eureka, Calf.
The scene of mining activity and
excitement at National has shifted
from Charleston Hill to Buckskin
Mountain, four miles to the south
east.
A controlling interest in the
Buckskin National, the property on
which the fabulous high grade strike
was recently made, is owned by
Senator W. j. Bell and the Ward
estate. A tunnel was driven for a
distance of $50 feet which cut the
vein at a vertical depth of $50
feet. The ore is in rhyolite, the same
formation as that of the famous
National mine, and the strike of the
vein is north and south, another
feature similar to that of the ia
nous mine. On the surface the
vein has been opened up for dis
lance of half mile.
The south extension of the Buck
skin National is owned by Forrest
Bell, who has two claims, and the
ground adjoining him on the south
is held by C. Arnold. To the north
and west the ground is owned by
Tom McGriff and Joe Main, and tt
the north and east by Charles Low
ry, John Lowry, Ben Farrar and Al
O'Dell. Another promising group
in the immediate vicinity is owned
by Sam Flynn and associates.

SKULL OF WOLF FOR
GRID TEAM FROM NEVADA

Elko county is to provide the
state university with the skull of
a desert wolf, the emblem under
which Nevada's athletic teams bat
tied for victory, according to Geo.
Nelson, federal trapper at Noun
tain City. Mr.. Nelson recently
sent in the pelt of what is believed
to be desert wolf, and is one OF
the five caught in Nevada since the
biological survey started predatory
animal eradication in 1915.
To make sure the animal is a
wolf, and, if it is, to present the
skull to the university for educa-
tional purposes, the survey has
asked Trapper Nelson to obtain
the skull and ship it to Reno.
The skull of the last wolf caught
by federal trappers, a famous old
killer" from Gold Creek, was
presented to the University of Cal
ifornia.-Elko Independent.

TEN YEARS AGO

No greater authority than Ben
jamin F. Bush president of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande
and Western Pacific, could be OBJ
tanned than the statement made
by him that the proposed
Winnemucca Northern railway was
feasible mad that the wants of the
territory traversed demanded the
construction of the road. In an in
terview with a Boise reporter he
stated that the tonnage was there
that there was a demand for addi-
tional railway facilities and that
whether or not the road was con-
structed by the Western Pacific some
company would soon supply the sec
ond road into Idaho.
When consideration is given to
the vast territory to be traversed by
the Winnemucca Northern, the many
thousands of acres Of virgin soil yet
untouched and unclaimed, the thous-
ands upon thousands of pounds of
tonnage now hauled or driven many
miles TO railroad, one can easily see
that President Bush's statement ;s
merely a repetition of what has been
claimed for the new road bv every-
one at all familiar with the situate,

HARD COAL OPERATORS

Philadelphia. Oct. 6.-The high price Of hard coal is economically unsound and calamity" Samuel D. Warriner. chief spokesman for the anthracite coal operators in the re- cent wage negotiations with the Unit ed Mine Workers, told an audience ut the City club here.
 The high price of anthracite to the consumer, he predicted. would event. ually result in a discontinuance of its free use by the consumer and would react on the prosperity of the coal field and the country at large.
 Mir Warriner replied to Governor Pinchot's charge of extortion in re- gard to the coal prices. He stated that the operators had been unwilling to grant the recent wage increase that resulted in increased coal prices, but had acceded, feeling that the price to the consumer was secondary to keep

Detroit, Oct. e.-with the return ot the relief ship Pai.o'-Aiine late yes terday afternoon. hope was abandoned for the safety Of A. NJ. Parker. son of the late B. W.

The three. driven from the cabin of their launch. Pro- wider. by leaping flames. hurled them selves into Lake St. Clair Ship Canal Wednesday night, after crying out to the crew of the freighter McNaughton to save them.
 Then, tossed by the storm across the flats, they drifted out into the open water of the lake and are be- lieved to have perished.
 One theory advanced is that the pilot of the Provider attempted to beach his boat on Gull Island, which forms one side of the canal, after col- the channel. The wrecked timber of the dike. which separates the up and down bound canals, substantiates the theory of collision. It is thought the force of the contact overturned small stove in the cabin and set fire to the cruiser.
 When the fire was at its height the McNaughton passed the scene in the other canal. The dike separated the freighter from the burning boat, making rescue impossible.
 Several airplanes were sent from Packard field early today to search the marshy banks of the lakes for bodies.
