PROSPERITY TIDE
RISING STEADILY;
WAGES INCREASED

NEW YORK, April IS - The
of prosperity. with the crest not
yet in sight, according to a nation
wide survey, just completed here.
All phases of business and indus
try reflect the boom, now at its high
est point since the post war slump.
A labor shortage, already being
felt in some industries, is the only
potential brake on further eXpan-
sion. Keen rivalry is manifest
among manufacturing plants for
skilled and unskilled labor. Agri-
culture is fearful of a farm labor
shortage due to the industrial de-
mand.
The forward strides are reflected
as follows;
Increased production.
Wage increases in the steel, pack
age, building, textiles, automobiles
and other industries during the past
three months, estimated at between
$250,000,000 and SS50,00O 900.
Scarcity of labor.
In little less than one year and a
half 100000 idle workers have been
absorbed by industry.
Big Wage Increases
Wage increases have been made
steadily but quietly since the first of
the year. They eliminated In the
IL per cent increase made by the
United States Steel corporation and
followed by most of the independ'
ents, and a similar wage increase by
the big Chicago packers, followed by
many independent packers.
Steel workers will receive approx
imately S1OO. 100000 more for The en-
suing years work over last year.
Packing house employees will prof
it to about the same extent.
Four hundred and thirty thousand
textile workers have received in
creases estimated at s75,OO0,OOO a
year.
Highest wage increases are re-
ported by the building trades. Plas'
terers in New York will receive $12
per day beginning May 1.
Painters in Detroit are getting S15
per day. Increased wages have been
granted TO more than 100000 build
ing trades workers in New York;
1000 in Chicago, approximately 3d.
600 in Philadelphia. Constr dction
workers in all parts of the country
are sharing in the tremendous i'm
pulse to the building industry since
the first of the year.
Huge Building Program
Construction work in 155 cities
during March totalled 1872, 900 600,
an increase. of 1917 per cent over
February.
In st. Louis building trades
wage increases total approximately
20 per cent. affecting 1000 workers
\ 20 per cent increase was won
by striking building workers in Des
Moines.
Twenty thousand iron miners in
the Mesabi range have been, grant
ed increases from seven to IL per
cent, according to advices from st.
Paul.
The International aper company
granted an eight per cent increase
to it's $500 employees. The Union
Bag and Paper company and other
larger paper producers are plan
ming increases.
Automobile plants in Detroit and
other centers of automobile produc-
tiOn report up to 80 per cent in
crease over last year. There is keen
competition reported for skilled
wo%S1ers.
Steel production is increasing
steadily, and reports state it is only
limited by the labor supply.

VIRGINIA-CARSoN HIGHWAY
is AIM OF COMSTOCkERS

The committee appointed at a re-
cent meeting held in Virginia City
relative to Storey county becoming
a part of the state highway system,
paid visit to the state highway de-
partment headquarters at Carson
City and held a conference with
Chief Highway Engineer Borden
relative to the matter, the Virginia
Chronicle reports. The local COM
mittee which consists of Chairman
Barry of the county commissioners.
and the Storey delegation in the
legislature, went into all phases Of
the proposition with Engineer Bor-
den, and as result, steps will be
taken to secure legislative sanction
either through bill to be intro
duced or an amendment to one of
the pending highway bills adding
Storey county to the state highway
system.
The route viii probably be known
as the Virginia City-Carson City
highway, connecting the two county
seats, the details of which and ex-
act location will be decided upon
later. Conditions appear most
favorable at this time to take this
important step and join with the
state highways the most fesible
and practicable outlet being to the
south, at least as a starter. A
first-class road, such as is proposed.
will be absolutely essential in the
future, travel in this direction
promising to greatly increase with
the large mining activities contem-
plated in the district.

claim they are in the Gaping, bas-
ing their contentious on the drilllngs
brought up by the bailer. DR.. Hook,
under whose directions and who has
been directing the work on the Elko

pate a big well, but that the next

have shut down operations and are
getting the well in shape to cement

that this will take from month to
six weeks.
If the company brings in a pro-
ducing well, on even if they demon

rare old braid that had been in the

of sentiment were the trousers, OF
some rich striped material, which
were said to have been worn by Mr.
Knotthead's father and grandfather
on their wedding days. The effect
was indeed quaint The best man,
Mr.. Archer Waite, wore a white
semi-stiff plaited-bosom shirt and
smart light gray striped-cashmere
trousers cut wide at the knee and
cuff, and held in place by deep
mauve suspenders. The pretty
groomsmen, wore shirts in rainbow
shades, with spats, and ties to
match. Their trousers were help up
by belts. The groom and his at
tendants carried punches of large
red hands. The bride wore a con-
vential veil.

One-half dozen raisens, two yeast

two pints water. Mix thoroughly,
and let stand for six weeks. This is
a very nice recipe which should

WOMAN DECLARED
GUILTY OF MURDER

The jury in the ease of Dawn
Margaret Williams, charged with the
murder of Jess B. Coverly, brought
in the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury duly empaneled
and sworn to try the issues in the
above entitled case, find the de-
PENDANT, Dawn Margaret Williams,
guilty of manslaughter."
Perhaps the most damaging evil
dence against the defendant was the
testimony of Mrs. Buster to the
effect that Immediately after the
shot was fired Mrs. Williams stated
that she KILLED him because she
loved him."
When Mrs. Williams was put on
the stand she testified that she did
not fire the shot that killed Coverly.
She stated that she and Coverly
were lying on the bed and that she
was trying to get him to go home
with her, when he drew the gun
with his left hand from his hip
pocket. She then grabbed his hand,
she stated, and the gun went off,
the bullet striking him in the mouth
and ranging upward through his
head. From that time she claimed
that she was hysterical and could
remember nothing that was said or
done. There was also evidence in
troduced by the defense that Cow
erly was dope fiend and that he
had severely beaten the defendant,
from which she carried a backened
eye and bruised limbs. The de-
PENDANT on cross examination ad-
mitted that she had told Mrs. Buster
that if Coyerly ever beat her again
she would kill him, and she also ad-
mitted that she had been arrested
for bootlegging.-Ely Record.
