Woud Prevent Two Trials--
Although the United States SUI
preme court has held that person
may be tried in a federal court on
liquor charge after he has been
tried in a state or city court on
the same charge and vice versa, a
bill will be introduced in the legis-
lature to prohibit the trial on the
same charges in state or city courts
of persons previously tried in the
federal court under the national
prohibition act, it was reported to-
day.--Carson Appeal.

Word was received here today to
the effect that counter petition to
the one asking for the release of a
great portion Of the Humboldt divis-
ion of the Humboldt forest, has
been circulated, and has been signed
by good many interested parties.
These signers, the majority Of
whom are understood to be resi-
dents of the North Fork section,
are very much opposed to the idea
of taking away a portion Of the
forest service, believing that the
land can be much more satisfac-
torily handled under the present
system. To date neither petition
has been received by the forest
service.-Elko Free Press.

Eiectioh Quarts looay-
For several days a petition of
nomination as mayor has been cir
culated by those who are favoring
H. A. Clark for reelection. While
the election is some time off the Pc
tition is the means of getting on the
ticket and many are of the opinion
that Capt. Clark should take an
other chance at the city manage
ment together with the board Of
councilmen.
Signatures have pretty well filled
up the petition assuring the mayor
that he will have that much of an
endorsement toward election.
If there are any other candidates
to come out they have not yet given
the public the countersign, but
there is plenty Of time to get busy
and make the mayoralty race one
worth remembering.-Fal Stand

Oddie Favors Bill


Senator Tasker L. Oddie is behind
any legislation which will promote
the dairy industry of Nevada and
in a telegram to James L. Hash
president of the Washoe county
farm bureau, he gives assurance
that he is in favor of the Weight
filed milk bill and would do every.
thing possible to help it along.
Members of the farm bureau anG
dairymen of Nevada recently wired
the Nevada representatives at Wash.
ington to try and get the measure
passed at the present session. The
bill strikes at a milk substitute
which dairymen claim is not goood
for children and an injury to the
dairy industry.

Two years ago a piece of freak
legislature got past the legislative
body resulting in the lethal gas law,
which aims to execute murderers by
the gas route instead Of hanging or
shooting. The wonder is that some
one of the legislature don't want to
amend the law to allow a gas mask
for the condemned, as the opponents
to legal executions are looking for
a loop hole for the men who de-
liberately kill.
For the past ten days, hours of
good state time have been given
over to the discussion of abolishing
the death penalty, and as it cost
something like two thousand dollars
a day, it has been rather expensive
discussion. If the members really
mean business they should repeal
the lethal gas law and get back
to the hangman and gallows; it is
effective as past records can show.

Many Births in Nevada

1t is gratifying to note that births
in Nevada during the years 1921.
1922 exceeded the deaths by 1922

While these figures indicate nc
tendency toward race suicide" il
is painful to record the fact that OF
the 270O babies born, 1872 passed
away before reaching their first
birthday. This number does not
include 65 stillbirths during the
same period.

After several attempts the Cal
iente Pioch stage line cars have
opened the road to Phoebe, closed to
automobile traffic since last Thurs
day. Snow, drifted in places to a
depth of four feet and two feet on
the level had prevented any cars
from getting through up till Mon
day when Burt, driving Hudson

drifts all day got into Phoebe at
8 o'clock in the evening and stay

drove back to Caliente on Tuesday.
The big Studebaker is now on the

Cattle Die from Rabies-
Sheriff Nicholson received a let
ter yesterday from John Luzett
at Steptoe reporting several cases
of rabies which had developed
among his cattle. Three yearline
calves had died at the ranch during
the past six days in such a manner
as to indicate rabies.
Mr.. Luzetti stated that he had
not seen any suspicious looking
coyotes or dogs around the ranch,
but first noticed the peculiar &C.
tons of yearling which later died
with all the symptoms of rabies. Al
though he put the animal in a cor
raj alone as soon as he noticed
the symptoms, two other yearlings
developed the disease and died dur
ing the week.
The information will be for
warded to the bureau of animal
control and request made for aid
in controlling the trouble.-Ely

APPROACHING 1T WITH
CAUTION

The state is casting a doubtful
eye toward Elko. 1t doesn't know
whether to believe the oil talk that
comes from here or to file it away
as another instance of an attempt
to capitalize upon the gullible. The
state press admits very definitely
that oil here would mean a great
thing for Nevada-but the state
press is hardly prepared to consider
the fact that it is here.
Nevada can scarcely be blamed
for wondering whether or not it is
all true. The business of oil de-
velopment has been so utterly dis
COMMUNICATIVE its hundreds of
thousands Of dollars charged up as
total losses to those who loaned
their financial and moral encourage
ment to the work of prospecting
with the drill. There have been so
many announcements that "the drill
has entered the oil sand" at such
and such depth and then broken
demonstrating long finishing jobs
or lost holes, carrying with the
catastrophe the small savings anu
the earnings of hard working peo-
pie. There have been several tricks
injected into the work of oil pros
pecting in this great state. A few
companies have tried to give their
stockholders real service-but others
have give them nothing but schemes
for the easy annexation of their
money. As the result it has become
a case more of oil "suspecting"
than oil prospecting" and we say
again that Nevada is not to be
blamed for her doubt and her slow
ness in expressing the belief that
oil at last has been discovered in
this state Of rich mines and gigantic
igneous intrusions.-Elko Independ-
ent.
