.IOLATORS
FOUND GUILTY

Fritz Elges and Henry Schnabel
were Tuesday evening declared guilty
of conspiracy to violate laws of the
United States possession of liquor,
possession of property for manufacture
ing of liquor and manufacture of Ii
quor. They waived time for sentence
and Judge E. S. harrington ordered
that the defendants be confined in the
Washoe county Jail eight months each.
The fine for each was fixed at $3.50.
The jury held the defendants not
guilty on the charge of transportation
of liquor.
Andrew Negrette, also named as a
defendant was not tried, the govern
ment prosecutor dismissing the charge
against the youth and using him as a
witness against Elges and Schnabel.
Prohibition Enforcement Officers
Nash, Brown, Scott and Dubois the
thirtieth of last October raided the
distillery at Mitchell Springs, twenty
two miles north of Nina and three
fourths OF mile beyond the end of
the automobile road, where the
''moonshiners' car was left behind
a screen of willows. According to the
testimony of the raiders Schnabel
came to the camp shortly after their
arrival. Tracks in the path from the
camp to the dugout- -distillery were
identified by them as those made by
Schnabel. This they were able to tell
because no nail marks were visible in
the tracks made by the heel of the
right shoe Footwear to match the
tracks were on Schnabel's feet, the
officers testified. Schnabel claimed
that he had been in that vicinity in
search of a burro. Ownership of the
camp was fixed on Elges. Schnabel
appears to have been working for
him. Negrette, who was arrested with
Schnabel, testified taht he had been
sent by Elges to Schnabel with a
warning to the latter to look out for
the enforcement officers. He said that
he went to the still with Schnabel and
that he saw the latter build fire.
The officers claimed to have disccv-
cred forty gallons of corn whiskey, a
large still, eight or nine barrels Of
mash, cracked corn, coils, cts, and a
stretcher for carrying barrels. Most
of the outfit they burned. Arson
charges were preferred against them
in Mineral county but were dropped.
Alfred Chartz was attorney for the
defendants. The men were placed on
trial Monday. The case went to the
jury late yesterday afternoon. Judge
Harrington denied the request that the
jurors be permitted to go home and
return next Monday for instructions.

NEW ROAD

Surveys for a public highway to ex-

10 Incline. where the Mount Rose road
ends, are TO be made this summer, ac-
cording to authentic information which
has reached this city. says the Reno
Gazette.
The surveys are to be made by the
forestry service, and 1t is probable
that they will be followed by recon-
mendations that the agricultural de-
partment allot funds for the highways

service allotted $4,000 to build por-

GRAZING TERM
HEIGHTENED

Beginning in 1925, 10-year permits
are to be granted to stockmen who
desire to Craze cattle and sheep on
ranges within the national forests, the
ment of agriculture, has announced.
This new policy. as approved by the
secretary of agriculture, exactly dou-
bles the maximum period for which
grazing permits are now being issued.
The departments action was taken
from the standpoint Of assisting the
livestock industry to further recover
from its depression of the last few
years, since 1t is claimed by stock
men, grazing permits for 10 years in
stead of FIVE will make II less diff
cult to secure financial aid to carry on
livestock grazing operations.
The 10-year permits will be granted
for the full established preference of
permittees owning commensurate, de-
pendent ranch property with the un-
derstanding that at the expiration of
five years reduction in numbers not
allotment boundaries will be made for
the admission of new settlers or in
crease to small owners now using the
national forest ranges.
Another condition is that reductions
in numbers for protective purposes
may be made during any year of the
permit period but that should the re-
duction for protective purposes equal
or exceed the 10 per cent reduction
for distribution purposes then no re-
duetion will be made for the latter
purpose. Readjustment of the graz
ing fees. as well as other administra-
tive adjustments, such as changes in
allotment boundaries. will be made at
the end cS the first five years of the
10-year permit. The forest service,
however, emphasizes the fact that all
adjustments will be kept at a mini
mum during the term of the permit.
The new rates upon which grazing
fees are to be based. and which are
to be arrived at after appraisals OF
the national forest ranges, will also
go into effect beginning in 1925. These
new grazing fee rates were to go in
TO effect during 1924. but action was
postponed so that the livestock In
dustry would have time to partially
recover from the period Of depression.
The new system of 10-year grazing
permits and the new grazing rates
will go into effect at the same time.
