SUGAR, BUTTER AND
EGGS UP IN PRICE

Sugar advanced another 25 cents
this week, landing at $1119 whole
sale in ely.
1t is almost a year since sugar
started to advance, it being caused
by an erroneous report given out by
the department of commerce claim
ing that there was world shortage
of sugar of 10000 tons, which aft
erward was corrected officially with
the statement that there was nc
shortage whatever. Yet is was too
late. The harm had been done and
the speculators had the market in
hand.
This week came another report
that there is great surplus for 1928
and how soon the effects may be felt
is interesting consumers intensely
From this weeks news it appears
that the old saying that mere rumor
Of an advance in price is all that is
needed for the sellers to put it into
instant effect, whereas if there is n
decline they never hear of it for
weeks, applies aptly In this case.
But it would appear that even though
belated the time will come before
this year is gone when the tide will
turn and the sugar profteers will be
on the defensive, and 1t may come
to pass that they will ask for gov
ernment aid to pull them out OF a
hole as they did at the close of the
war under a still greater disparity Of
conditions between supply and de-
mand

BY the morest scratch the alfalfa
seed crop in the numerous valleys ad-
jacent to Ely was saved from frost
this year, and it is one of the largest
and otherwise most perfect crops pro-
duced here in recent years, if ever.
notwithstanding the cold nights and
chilly temperature during the earlier
part of this month, there was no
frost. Thus the seed weathered
through without the slightest dam
age
The mercury went down to 80
above zero in places, and some re-
ports say it went lower. but there was
wind enough to prevent frost from
settling, or else it happened that the
cold spots were in different locations
from the alfalfa fields
This will mean thousands of ex-
ira dollars for eastern Nevada and
western Utah For several years the
price of seed has been good and gen.
orally on the advance Last year it
was 20 cents pound, starting at IL
at threshing 1t is claimed that buy
ers got too rambunctious paying more
than their principals authorized, and
that the difference came out of their
commissions, hence only they were
the ones hurt and the growers bene
fitted
This year it is starting at the
same figure, but the word given out
Is that this competition will be elimi-
mated, though the market will be
strong in the belief of many. There
will be good money in it at any price
that may be paid above / 2 to 4 cents
a pound owing to the distance of the
grower from the point of shipment
Most of the shipments are accum-
ulated at tho buyers directions at
Delta and Milford, Utah, these get
ting the seed from Snake valley,
which is the greatest area for its
growth that is in reach of Ely.
While the region is shut out of Ely
market for the sale of it's hay, it on
the other hand is the big producer of
seed which is unaffected by the quar-
antine against alfalfa weevil.
On account Of the excellent demand
for seed several groups of ranchers
out that way are considering strong
ly in investing in threshing machines
for their own use and that of their
immediate neighbors Alfalfa thresh-
ing is an exceedingly slow process.
and each year with more of it
grown than the year before, it
means that the machines in use are
later and later in reaching the stacks
of their customers, and the latter feel
that they are being forced in self

some few miles west of the river. The
western end is at Cazier's on Currant
creek, which is the ranck where the
old road crosses from the south to
the north side of the creek going out.
From there westward the project
is one of federal aid, being done at
the expense OF the government. state

BIG PAY AND LIVELY
BUSINESS IN EAST

High wages and lively times pre-
vail in the eastern cities and states,
according TO Mr.. and Mrs. ]. Henry
Goodman, who returned Friday night
from Kingston, New York, and sew
eral of the large cities which they
visited. Carpenters are getting 81 an
hour and other skilled workmcn
like fancy wages. The hours run
from six 10 ten, so that the daily
wages are gauged by the number of
hours employed.
Clothing is higher in the east
than here, but groceries are Il great
deal lower Between the two the
Goodmans believe the cost of living
will average about the same as in
Nevada. They found meat prices to
be high, in one place the cost of six
lamb chops being $1.05 and other
meats in proportion.
Business generally is in high
state of prosperity, as everybody has
money and IS parting with it freely.

visit her father. Mr. Goodman fol-

REPLEv|NEO WOOL IS
RESTORED TO COMPANY

The decision of Justice OF the
Peace Mcdonald in the replevin suit
of the Adams-McGill company against
w. P. Golden and the Nevada North
ern railway was reversed yesterday
by Judge McFadder, who decided
that the wool over which the suit
was brought belonged to the plain
tiff and ordered It turned over.
1t is claimed that the testimony of
Golden in the district court gave a
different incite into the facts at is
sue from those given in the pre-
vious trial. This time he admitted
that when he bought the wool from
Indians he was suspicious of its he
ing stolen and that as matter of
self-protection he made book entry
of the purchase. which he does not Or
dinarily do. In the lower court
only one sack of wool was opened
and it did not show the paint marks
that in other sacks showed upor ex-
animation at the latter trial. Thus
the Identification was accepted as
complete.

LARGER CROP THAN USUAL

protection to buy machines and do
their own threshing. Naturally with
the high price for seed the charge for
threshing advances and already is
considerable, so that that otherwise
enters into the argument for buying
threshers.
Right here the road question en-
ters into the situation. The late
threshing that occurred last year
forced some growers in Snake valley
to haul their seed to Delta after the
roads in Snake, Tule and Tintic val
leys had become impossible for
trucks. II these flats were graveled
so that trucks could pass over them
until the snow stops them in Margin
pass, it would not matter so much.
But despairing of Utah counties fix
ing these roads the ranthers are
forced to make these large invest
ments, which with graveled roads
might not be forced upon them
This in turn has the effect of en-
couraging an increase in grain acre
age. Since the threshers are bound
to increase in number ranchers will
soy as much oats and barley as they
lcah Mitigate, and with its being
threshed they find plenty of local
sale for it to sheepmen who buy ex-
tensively of oats when they can and
barley when they cannot get oats, for
feeding their horses used in NOV
ing their camps and saddle animals
used generally in herding This de-
mand has grown until 1t is enormous,
being so great that in some localities
grain is freighted in from railroad
points for the purpose.
Thre is a further and unusual de.
mand for chicken wheat in these
parts. Right today in Ely the price
for grain for chickens is around 8
cents pound. It's aggregate may
not be large, but at that price ranch.
ers are to be found considering the
feasibility Of raising it as extensively
as they may and not cause too ma
terial reduction in price or over
stock the local market, which in
cludes the towns of Ely, East Ely,
McGill, Ruth and Kimberly.
While next year it may bealtogeth-
er different, the grain prices stand
as good a chance of remaining up
as the price of any ranch product.
Farming is a gamble at best, a fact
which every one engaged in it knew.
and crops are planted and cultivated
in advance of anything definite as to
what may be the price of them
when harvested. Taking chances is
the ranchers' game. 1t may not be
