j. s. LAND ACREAGE
LARGE IN NEVADA

George b. Russell of the United
States land office. submits the follow
ing statement of public land acreage
the Elko district of Nevada which is
available to settlement:
I'm the u. s. Elko land district
there is a total of more than 49,
100000 acres of government land, or
about one-tenth of all the unappro-
priated and unreserved land in the
United States. OF this amount neraly
100000 acres are In Elko county.
about 14,500.000 acres of the
government land in this district are
surveyed, the other 100000 being
unsurveyed.
''In Elko county there are $780,
900 acres of surveyed land, the bah
ance being unsurveyed. In Elko
county there is nearly twice as much
nnappropriated and unreserved sur
yeyed land as in any other county in
the United States. Nye county leads
her by 2,00O,000 acres In unappro-
priated lands, but In that county
there are over 100000 acres of
land unsurveyed.
THE public domain of the United
States originally comprised something
over 100000 acres. This vast
area is now reduced to a little less
than 196,O0O,OOO acres or approx
mately one-eighth of the original
amount.
"The total amount of unappropri-
ated and unreserved land in Nevada
is over 52,5O0,OO0 acres, or nearly
one-third Of the entire amount In the
United States.
mo government In the history of
the world has been 80 generous In
the distribution Of its national terri
tory to its citizens as the United
States. 1t is needless to say that the
land remaining subject to homestead
entry Is what Is left after a half
century Of picking over by war vet
Grams and hundreds of thousands of
pioneers who came west to build
homes and fortunes"

CONVENTION He RE
Most Successful Convention in His.
tory of Organization Brought
to . Close With Reelection
of President Russell

The fifth annual convention of
the Nevada Livestock Association
came to close here Wednesday
evening with the election of Off
GERS and adoption of resolutions
for the betterment of the industry.
The convention, it was freely stat
ed by officers and members of the
association, was easily the most
successful yet attempted, not only
from the standpoint of accomplish
ments resulting but also by
reason Of a most enjoyable oppor-
tunity for surcease from the wor-
ries Of business by taking advantage
OF the entertainment features pro-
vided, and for which the Humboldt
County Chamber Of Commerce was
freely commended.
Proceedings of the convention
up to the hour of press time for
this newspaper were published in
the Tuesday issue. Taking up the
story from that time the COM
pleted report follows:
Tuesday Evening
The evenings pleasure started with
banquet in the Chamber of Com
merce rooms, the call being made for
six O'Clock and although the dele
gates were busy discussing the differ
ent problems before the convention
Shortly after the appointed time every
seat at the three long tables were
filled, there being one hundred and
fifty people at the repast served by
the Chamber of Commerce In c0njunc-
tion with the Winnemucca Civic
club.
At about 9:30 o'clock the Nixon
Opera House doors were thrown open
for big dance, all the visitors be-
ing the guests of the Chamber of
Commerce. This proved to be the big
event of the evening and the spacious
floor of the theatre was packed
mass OF dancers and all having a
good time. Tony's Orchestra also
furnished the music for this occasion
and the fine selections and Jazz
played helped to gladden. the hearts
of the dancers and spectators so that
all present had most enjoyable
time.

Wool Marketing Scheme Wins Favor
G. J. Fawcett, assistant general
manager Of the National Wool Ware
house and Storage Co .pany, with
warehouses In Boston, and Chicago,
came to this city to present to the
Nevada sheep men the problems of
orderly marketing of their woods
The National Wool Warehouse and
Storage Company had its inception
in 1910, originally including 500
wool growers in the United States.
During the war this company was
taken over by the federal govern
ment for concentration purposes. The
government turning it back to the
owners in 1919. It has been the
recognized marketing agency for the
wool growers. Prior to this year
the company handled wool largely
from the states Of Montana, Wyom-
ing and South Dakota and the fleece
wool states, representing the states
east of the Missouri river.
Not until this year did Nevada
growers take advantage Of the CO.
operative marketing and at present
one and one-half million pounds are
stored In the Chicago and Boston
warehouses of this concern from the
clips Of this state.
Future Bright for Wool Growers
"The fact that the wool industry
is not increasing all over the world
and the fact that the population is
increasing is an important factor in
determining the future of the wool
industry. A few examples of the
encroachment of grain crop and fruit
crops upon the range can be cited
In various states. In Montana in the
year 1900, 40 million pounds of wool
were produced and in 1923 only 10
million pounds were produced. The
states of Illinois, Kansas and Iowa
have decreased their production near
ly 40 per cent in the same period.
This change In market caused a
reduction of approximately 20 cents
per clean pound. the price being In
April Of this year. $1.35 per clean
pound for Nevada woods and In Sep
TENDER the effective price was on
$1.15 per clean pound making diff
ference Of nearly ten cents per grease
pound. At present the warehouse
company is holding the Nevada woods
until the difference between the for
eign market and the domestic mar
ket becomes smaller.
Australasia is only holding its
own with a slight decrease In produe-
tion. In Argentine a recent severe
set back has reduced their production.
In the same time population has In
creased demanding the usual six
pound per year per capita.

X1[RELESS telegraphy, or radio, has

wv grown to a vast commercial and
military enterprise and owes its
growth in no small measure to fraternity
of men who roam the whole world over,
have language all their own and who
literally toss their thoughts around this
little old globe of ours. Their profession
is no easy one but it is interesting and the
medium of accomplishing a great deal of
sight seeing. A man very seldom enters
the radio game for any other reason than
because it is his ambition to become
radio operator. He is barred at the very
gate of entrance if he has not the desire
to enter for he must study and practice
long and ceaselessly before he is presented
with the little ticket that gives him free
dom of the seas as a representative of
that fraternity which is made up of men
from all nations, who are bound by the
same ties, speak the same tongue while
behind the key and who's watchword is
the letter "K'', which, in the lingo of the
key FOUNDER means-"Lets go!" Hindu
meets Greek across the endless spaces and
over land and sea converses in tongue
known to each of them. The little brass
key and "juice" is all they need and to
the uninitiated what appears to be mean
ingless cots and dashes is to them a vo-
cabulary sufficient to convey all the
thoughts, laughter and tears there are in
life.
One might write for days the tales of
various members of this profession but in
this discussion we deal not so much with
the men themselves as the work they do,
which is all that should interest us. "Trans-
oceanics," in radio lingo refers to the
traffic of high powered stations over long
distances such as the Atlantic or Pacific
oceans. The language of the radio opera
tor is the International code-it is Morse
code but quite departure from that used
on American land wires such as, Western
Union; however, the radio man generally
knows and uses both of them but the In
ternational CODE or Continental, as it is
called, is used by operators under the flags
of all nations.
Radio land stations are classed in two
divisions: High Power and Low
Power" The former are used interna-
tionally and the principal ones are located
at: Nauen, Germany; Carnorvan, Wales;
Lyons, France; New Brunswick, Nova
Scotia; Annapolis, Maryland, U. S. A.;
Ell Coyey, Porto Rico; Cavite, Philippine
Islands; San Diego, California; and Mex
leo City. They are scattered over wide
localities and to each runs net work of
cables and land wires connecting them
with international points. Each has as
signed to it working range of wave
lengths arranged so they are in touch with
each other at all times.
The station at Annapolis is controlled
from the receiving station at Bar Har-
Dor, Maine. The others are similarly con-
trolled; the one at Nauen, from Berlin;
the one at Lyons from Paris and so on
through the list. The receiving station at
Bar Harbor is in remote and wild To-
cality, "far from the maddening throng"
but nevertheless in direct communication
with all the world. The average 1isten-
ing in" room is typical of page g, Co., e)

THE FIGURE IN BRONZE
XII
By Mr.. H. W.

"a
III tale disbelieved it, and despised
Mrs. Hellund for telling it, never
theless there were several of them who
could not resist the temptation of calling
their friends over the phone that evening
and repeating the story. Thus it was that
Justice True learned all of the details,
and, while she was silent about it, she was
greatly worried. Rev. Richards was
spared hearing it, but as he went about,
he perceived sense of coldness which he
could not understand.
A few days later, Mrs. Hellund again
presented herself at the Giber home Mr..
Richards was present in the parlor when
Mrs. Giber escorted the woman in. Mrs.
Hellund was greatly agitated, and plunged
at once into her story.
81 am so nervous today that 1 can hardly
restrain myself from screaming" she be-
gan, and Mrs. Giber and Richards were
instantly alert with attention.
"Last night, my husband was at lodge,
and I being very tired, retired early.
fell asleep almost at once, but before Tom
returned, awoke, and l had an awful
vision" and the woman shuddered in
fear.
GAS sat up in bed, l saw dark form
moving near my window. 1 tried to
scream, but could not. Gradually, the
object took the form of a woman, about
my own build I should judge, and she
seemed looking toward my bed. She
seemed pleasant woman, with brown
hair, horid face, and deep blue eyes, was
fashionably attired, and moved about
haughtiy as she gazed at me. I became
paralyzed with fear, for she then took the
form of an old hag. She had the face of
demon, with struggling hanks of hair
and flashing eyes. AS she grinned, | saw
ugly teeth, and her hands reached out to
me with long bony fingers, as if to clutch
and strangle me-then l managed to
scream Oh--it was a demon l tell YOU
a she-devil!"
The distraught woman seemed about to
faint, and while Mrs. Giber supported
her, Richards hurried for glass of water,
which revived her once more. AS soon as
she had recovered, the Pastor said-"My
dear Mrs. Hellund, it must have been
warning for you, and beg of you to heed
it. 1 should be earnestly concerned about
my souls salvation if were you
eyes indeed-may we pray with you,
Mrs. Hellund?" anxiously and fervently
enquired Mrs. Giber.
Mrs. Hellund ignored Mrs. Giber's
words and turned an angry countenance
toward the Pastor, and snapped-"Pll
have you understand, Mr.. Richards, that
that she-devil wasn't looking for mel"
and the woman jumped up and rushed
from the room out into the street, and
away.
"Well I declare! Did YOU ever see the
likes of that?" exclaimed Mrs. Giber,
rushing to the window to see their late
guest tearing up the street.
Richards shock his head "That woman
had vision of her own soul and doesn't
know It'll" he exclaimed, as he turned and
went into his study to pray.
