and as they were on the highest shelf
they felt themselves far above the

CERLACH PLANT WILL
COST MILLION DOLLARS

The Pacific Portland Cement Co.
is making rapid progress in the con-
struction Of a large mill near Ger
lach on the Western Pacific Railway
north of Reno for the manufacture
of plaster and other products from
huge deposit of gypsum. The mill
is seven miles from Gerlach and an
equal distance from the mine. An
aerial bucket tramway which is al
most completed connects the mine
and the mill and a spur of track
extends five miles from the Western
Pacific to the mill. The gypsum de-
posit is of high grade and is said to
be practically inexhaustable. The en-
tire plant, when completed, will rep
resent an investment of well over
81, 100000. The product is used
extensively in building houses of a
type that has gained much favor
in southern California. The Gerlach
mill will supply the market for the
north Pacific coast. The gypsum de-
posit owned by this company at
Mound House, few miles east of
Carson City, is approaching exhaus-
tion and the mill there in time will
be manteled.-Nevada Mining

w. P. FIREMAN BADLY HURT
YESTERDAY IN ELKo YARD

James Rengstorff, Western Pa
cific fireman working out of VIM
nemucca, was the victim of a pecu-
liar accident yesterday morning, ac-
cording to the Elko Free Press,
which may leave him totally dis
abled as result Of paralysis. The
fireman was on the tender Of q To-
comotive in the Elko yards, filling
the oil tank. He had hold of a hose
while completing this operation.
Another locomotive in some way or
other crashed into the hose in such
a manner as to throw Rengstorff off
the tender onto the ground below.
The fireman landed on both feet,
but with such force as to cause the
collapse Of two of the lower verte-
brae Of the spinal column. He was
Immediately rushed to the hospital,
but owing to the fact that Reng-
storff is still suffering from the
shock of the accident the extent of
the paralysis cannot be determined.
Rengstorff was working out of
Winnemucca, but his home is in
Minneapolis. He is 27 years Of age
and unmarried. His parents were
Immediately notified and are on their
way to Elko to be with their son.

PROPOSAL TO INCREASE
GRAZING FEES PROTESTED

Another matter which requires
the earnest thought and attention
of Nevada business men concerns a
proposal which is certain to be made
at a coming meeting of forest SER
vice officials that stock grazing fees
be increased to an undue extent,
according to j. Sheehan of this city,
state senator and banker, and ac-
knowledged authority on matters
pertaining to the livestock industry.
In fact, he said today, men prom
inent in the stock raising industry
are looking ahead with considerable
apprehension to the proposal to raise
the fees materially, and he feels
that such a move will not only be
disastrous to the industry involved
but also to all business dependent
upon the prosperity of that indus
try, which means, practically, the
entire state Of Nevada and every
body in it. Asked concerning his
opinion as to the best method of
preventing such increase, which it is
understood would practically pro-
hibit the cattle raisers from rang
ing their herds in the national for
ests, Senator Sheehan said that the
only solution is organization of live
stock men for the purpose of finding
means of preventing the action and
possibly making recommendation to
the next congress.

Since the last issue of The Silver
State was published the Nevada
highway commission has let con-
tract for the completion of eight
miles of the highway between this
city and Paradise Hill, John Ross
being awarded the contract. For a
time it appeared that this section of
the highway, almost exactly in the
center of the 24-mile stretch, would
remain uncompleted due to the lack
of gravel bed near enough to
make hauling sufficiently economical
to come within the government
limit. The contract awarded calls
for crushed rock on this stretch Of
the highway, instead of gravel. 1t
is probable that Contractor Ross will
be unable to complete the work
until next spring, he also having a
contract on the highway from Para
disc Hill nine miles south, a gravel
surface job. Contractor Ken Hodg-
man, who has the contract on the
road Immediately out of this city,
has started hauling gravel and
should complete his. contract before
freezing weather sets in, barring
unusual weather conditions.

.ELKO LEGION WILL

ing Possible Disturbances il
Threatened Invasion Il At
tempted This Winter.

Prompted by the recent scattering
of LW.W. literature and flaming
oratory by two members of the IA
nous clan, about the city of Elko,
the American Legion of that city
took a firm stand against these op-
ponents of all government, at a
meeting held Tuesday evening, and
unanimously passed resolution
pledging renewed allegiance to gov
ernment law and order and con-
demning anything WHICH savors of
I.W.W.ism, according to the Free
Press of that city. The Elko Legion
men also proclaimed themselves
ready at all times to assist the peace
officers, as deputies, in repelling any
I.W.W. invasion such as was threat
ened by one of the Officials" of the
organization who recently visited
Elko in an attempt to obtain the
release of two Of his brother men,
bers who are languishing in the
county Jail for their TRADES against
the government, and also for having
refused to leave town when ordered
to do so by Judge Clark. The "offi-
ciaP' referred to threatened to send
500 LW.W. members to Elko this
winter, all of whom would be will
ing to go to Jail, and thus become
burden to the people there, unless
the two men were released. Such
release was refused and new de-
velopments are being watched with
interest throughout the state.

IRENE IS COMING
TUESDAY NIGHT
And Coming Here to See Her Are
Many People From Long Dis
taces. An Unusual Thing
for Road Shows Here

The proposal Of the advance
agent for the "Irene" company to
endeavor to bring people here from
long distances to see that great mu-
sical comedy when it shows here
next Tuesday night is meeting with
unexpected success. When the ad-
vance man made the proposal to ad-
vertise the show in Elko, Battle
Moutain and Lovelock newspapers,
Manager Harry Oastler of the Nixon
was frankly skeptical, for "neigh-
boring towns" in Nevada are moth
ing like what they are in the thick
ly populated eastern states. Where
the easterner might travel a dozen
miles to larger city to witness an
unusually good production such as
"Irene," here in Nevada the dis
tances run itno staggering figures,
as for instance Elko people who
come here will have to travel 278
miles-quite a jaunt for the privi-
lege Of witnessing a show, even if
it be an extraordinary one. In spite
of the distance, however, nine Elko-
ties had written in for tickets yes
terday and more reservations are
expected in tonight's mail. Battle
Mountain will also be represented,
but to date Lovelock has registered
a blank. Several people from as far
away as Quincy, Calif., may come
here for the show, but the fact in
this instance is that they will be
coming here more to visit friends,
with the show as a side issue.
The charming qualities possessed
by "Irene" the musical comedy by
James Montgomery which has set
the pace for all others to follow,
are its clean, fine and hilarious
comedy and the rafting good music
arranged for it by Harry Tierney.
Heading the cast which the Van
derbilt Producing Company presents
here at the Nixon Opera House on
Tuesday, October 2, is Dale Winter.
The part Of Irene O'Dare, the viva
cious little shop girl who, Cinderella
like, becomes a Long Island society
favorite, after a strange and anus
ing adventure, calls for a singing
voice of lovely quality, and ability
to act, as well as dancing of no
mean quality.
Others in the cast are Flo Irwin,
Mary Moore, Gladys Nagle, Dorothy
La Marr, Irene Enright, Henrietta
Housen, Howard Freeman, Menry
Coote, George Collins, George Man.
tell and Jerry Delany.
Elaborate scenery, costumes by
Lucille, and a special orchestra are
provided for "Irene" whose appeal
is so general that it is now playing
on four continents.

Judge Got His Buck

Edw. A. Ducker, chief justice of
the Nevada supreme court, returned
to Carson City yesterday morning
after completing his yearly deer
hunt in this vicinity. The judge
was successful in getting his buck
this year, as he has been for many
years with one exception. He spent
week at the Hammond Bros.
ranch on Jake Greek. While here
Judge Ducker remarked that the
road between here and Reno is not
nearly so bad as it has been painted,
for he left Carson, 80 miles beyond
Reno, at 5 am, spent an hour at
Lovelock for lunch, took one wrong
detour and arrived here at 8 p.m.,
10 hours after starting. He expect
ed to make the 200 miles to Carson
on the return trip in eight hours.
