CATTLE MOVEMENT
HEAVY IN COUNTY
Many Head Being Shipped by Vari-
Gus Growers at Prices Which
Relieve Bad Situation in
the Cattle Industry

Many carloads of cattle are being
shipped from this vicinity at the
present time and while every head
shipped means loss to the grower
thereof, the fact that there is a
market at all seems to lend encour-
agement to those connected with
the industry.
Last Sunday cattle purchased
from the William Stock Farming
Company, Steve Ferraro, the H. N.
Burge Land & Cattle Company end
Boggio & Forgnone, all of Paradise
Valley, and totaling at least 600
head, were shipped, while on Mon
day about $50 head were shipped
from the Lay ranches near Jungo.
Several other punches have gone
forward during recent days, inc.ad-
ing large number of Miller & Lux
cattle. At the end of this week
about 400 head will be driven in
from the McDermitt section and
shipped to Minden for feeding by
Senator Dressler, he having pur-
chased same from various owners
of the northern country.
1t is said that the prices at which
most of these cattle were bought
were around 5A to 5h cents per
pound for steers, while cows sold
for from to 3h cents. These
prices perhaps represent the grow
ing cost of the cattle, but mean a
loss when depreciation and interest
charges are made against the ranch
ing plants necessary for their
growth. The sales, however, at
least provide some ready money for
the cattle men, a necessity with
which large number of them have
been singularly short during recent
years.
About 2400 head of ewes will be
shipped from Gerlach on the 30th.
these having been purchased from
various growers in the Denio Sec
ton by California parties. Prices
depend, of course, on the stock and
ages, but were gratifyingly high.

sNAPPY PROGRAM
FOR NEXT MONTH
Manager Oastler of the American
Has Unusually Good Pictures
For Coming Month, Headed
by Jackie Coogan Play

Starting with Dorothy Dalton in
Ozark Secrets" with Will Rog-
ers comedy, "Jus' Passin' Thru"
both on the same bill and at regu-
lar prices, on next Monday, Dec
ember 8, Manager H. C. Oastler
of the American Theatre has pro-
vided whirlwind program which
is bound to attract great crowds
to his doors during the entire
month of December, it is shown
by his monthly program just off the
press of The Silver State printery
and which will be mailed to pa
irons today.
For the next two days, Tuesday
and Wednesday, December A and
5, he has a red-letter special in
"Down to the Sea in Ships" which
is characterized as very exciting
and realistic picture, entirely out
of the ordinary run and different
from anything else shown. Other
Tuesday and Wednesday two-day
red-letter specials, at advanced
prices, will occur each week during
the month, with Theodore Roberts
in Grumpy" on the 11th and
18th, with a Mack Sennett comedy
on the same bill, "Down to the Sea
in Shoes" and Enemies of Wom-
en-" on the 18th and 10th, and
"The Pride of Palomar" and Smil-
ing Bill Rogers in "Hustling Hank"

ing.
There is one other red-letter
special, however, which is one more
than Manager Oastler usually pro-
grams, and that is Jackie Coogan
in "Circus Days" on Sunday and
Monday, December and 10. This
story is adapted from James Otis
old-time story for boys, "Toby
Tyler" and few there are of the
middle-aged generation >of today
who will not admit that they have
read "Toby Tyler" once or more
and cried and laughed at the fun
and sorrow depicted in that circus
story. 1t is said to be little
Jackie's best effort and one which
will wiring emotional displays
from the crabbiest old crouch.

Saws Game Was Punk

Attorney J. w. Dignan returned
Tuesday from Oakland, where he
visited with his daughter and incl
dentalIy took in the football game
setween California and Stanford at
Berkeley. His size-up of the game
is that it was punk" and he ex-
presses the opinion that any good
high school team could have beaten
the winner. The only touchdown
made was when a California player
scooped up a fumbled ball and
turned around to merely cross his
own goal line. The only other points
made were on a drop-kick by Cali
fornia player. Dignan says the big
crowd of $4,000 people was handled

board boxes at the conclusion of
the sale and boy called for the
boxes with his delivery auto not
five minutes after the ladies had
left. Next morning 1T was dis
covered that only three of the boxes
had been delivered to their destina-
ton. Whether the box was lost
from the delivery car or stolen
from The Silver State office is not
known, but to date it has not been
returned to the owners. The ladies
have not set value upon the lost
goods, but they would probably
have sold for from $25 to $50.
One theory put forth was that one
box might have been dispensed
with and the leftover goods paked
in three boxes, but it has been def
nitely established that some articles
not sold are not now with the art
goods collection.
Aside from this unfortunate oc-
currence the ladies sold about sos
worth of fancy goods and cooked
food at the Saturday sale.

BELIEVES TARIFF
SILVER CURE-A ALL
Local Man Suggests That Law Be
Passed So That Only Silver
Produced in This Country
Be Coined in u.

A Winnemucca man who, for his
own good reasons, does not care to
have his name used, has hit upon a
plan which might bring about dol
lar silver and make it stay perman-
emily at that price, and while it is
probable that flaws can be picked in
the idea it at the same. time ap-
proaches subject, vital to this
state, from a new angle and one
which may not have occurred to
those seeking a solution to the sill
yer problem.
The plan, in brief, centers about
the prospective tariff, and in the
rough may be said to favor perhaps
a fuctuating tariff on silver which
would add to the purchase price of
foreign silver enough to make the
cost of same one dollar per ounce
in the United States, this silver to
be used in the arts and trades.
For coinage purposes, however, a
law might be enacted which would
permit only silver produced in the
United States to be coined in this
country, and this silver would all
be sold to the government at one
dollar per ounce.
Objection to this procedure
might develop on the claim that the
silver producers would thus become
subsidized by the government, but
in answer the argument might be
applied that if it is necessary to pro-
tee. .ue sheep, cattle and wool in
dustries, as well as the celebrated
tin-plate industry of the United
State, it is just as necessary and
fair to likewise protect the silver
industry. All. will agree that some
such production is necessary, for
only the well-developed silver mine
can be operated at the present time,
and at prevailing prices it is un-
likely that any great effort will be,
made to develop new mines. Con-
tinued, the present price would
mean ultimate destruction oN the
silver production industry.
One element of danger exists in
the plan, and that les in smuggling
If foreign silver could be smugglec
into this country great profits might
be realized by selling it to the gov
ernment at the higher price, but il
is stated that this objection might
be overcome by the passage of a
proper law giving the government
access to production figures and
the power to verify same.
1t is only fair, the author of the
plan states, that the silver producers
be entitled to ask for tariff protec-
ton for the same reason that other
United States industries are pro-
tected.
Another thought added by our
informant is little apart from the
subject above. He would ask those
men who profess to believe in
s4sound money" how they can re-
concile their views to the fact that
the silver dollar of the United
States is not now Sound money
for the reason that the amount of
silver contained in silver dollar
is considerably under one ounce
and consequently worth not nearly
the one dollar that IL represents. In
other words, the United States is
bunking the public on every silver
dollar turned out.
These thoughts may be worth
little or much to silver producers
of Nevada, but they at least make
rood reading and provide something
TO think about. Many great oaks
from little acorns grow, you know.

Fair Hay Price
Farmers of the Lovelock valley
are planning to ship their hay to
Kansas City this year, baling it
for the purpose, according to Judge
J. A. Callahan, who has returned
from Lovelock. A new freight rate,
effective December 10, makes such
shipment possible. At the present
time, the judge states, there are not
more than half the number of cat
tie being fed at Lovelock as was
the case last year, and that those
which are being fed there are re-
sulting in payment to the ranchers
of the equivalent of $3.50 per ton
for alfalfa hay in the stack-little
more than the cost of production.

PROPER Commission
TO FIX PRICE MILK
director of Swiss Rural Union
Makes Proposal To Worlds
Dairy Congress

SYRACUSE, N. Y, Oct. 5.-An
international commission with tbo
power to Tx the retail price of milk
ana to control IN some degree its
PRODUCTION was proposed to the
worlds Diary Congress today by
Or. r. Laur, director of the Swiss
Rural Union.
The price of raw milk is stronr.
ly influenced by the prices of but
ter, cheese and condensed milk, Dr..
Laur said. These are commodities of
international commerce and con-
sequently the price of milk is in
tluenced by the world markets.
While the commerce in milk prod
ucts is internationally organized,
milk producers are not and as a ~e-
suit the price of milk in many coun-
trlse does not cover the cost of
production he declared.
Urging an organization that
would permit an active exchange of
views on all that is of interest con-
corning the international market
ing of milk, DR.. Laur called upon
the congress to sponsor the founda-
ton of a commission.
1t is all right for Swiss cheese
to be we'll supplied with holes but
there can be condition of too much
hole and not enough cheese, said
Professor R. Burri. director of the
Swiss Dairy and Research Station,
another speaker. He said that ex-
perimentts with green fodder silage
as feed for cows had failed because
the cheese produced from their milk
had had an excessive number Of
large holes, due to the peculiar
fermentation caused by the silage
feed.

HAITIAN GOVERNMENT
CONTROL DRUG SALES

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti, Oct.
1.-The Haitian Council of State
has passed a law to regulate and
control the expectation, importa-
ton, possession, use or sale of mar
cotics, poisons and habit-forming
drugs in Haiti.
The specific purpose of this leg
islation is to prevent the possible
use of Haiti by German firms as
base of the distribution of marco
tics. Previously there was no law
of any description bearing on the
narcotics problem and Germany,
not being signatory to the Opium
convention, was steadily increasing
its imports of such substances,
Ihe passage OF the act has made
Haiti eligible as signatory to this
convention.
New law is based on that which
controls the use of narcotics in the
United States, with certain mod.
iications to fit local conditions.
