PIONEER VISITS PAYETTE

Mr.. George Brown of Baker City,
Oregon, one of the early pioneers of
southwestern Idaho was in Payette
a few days last week visiting at the
Attebery home. Mr. Brown, while
well aware of what time had done
in the way of improvement in this
part of Idaho, really marvelled at
the change since he last saw the vast
sea of sagebrush in the Payette Val
ley, that was in 1880. He first came
to western Idaho when a lad in his
teens in 1860 and later engaged in
the cattle business and also in the
numbering business in Washington
and has accumulated a snug little
fortune.

ALUM PRODUCED IN
SOUTHERN NEVADA

Southern Nevada's first big manu-
featuring plant is now functioning
on a successfully demonstrated COM
mercial basis to the satisfaction of
all concerned. This is the first run
of the Western Chemicals, Inc,
which was organized and promoted
by the enterprising citizens of Tono-
pah, who realized there was a good
opening for a strong company in
producing alum and flour sulphur
for consumption on the coast. The
consummation of the elaborate plans
of the undertaking was marked by
departure of the first carload of
chemically pure alum produced in
the state of Nevada. This ship
ment represents 35 tons of an ap-
proximate value of $115 per ton,
although the management is not
vouching for the cash realization I'M
til after the alum reaches its desti-
nation. The second carload will be
sent out very soon and it is pro-
posed to establish a production Of
Is tons daily of 99.8 per cent pure
alum.
Operations of the company have
been handicapped by various draw
backs extending over period of
two years which eventuated in the
company turning the project over to
G. w. Kohler, an eminent chemical
engineer. Mr.. Kohler was given free
reign and designed a system of
treatment that he felt confident
would bring results to satisfy the

POTATO EXPERT
LAUDS COMMUNITY

Humboldt county's possibilities in
growing certified seed potatoes have
been particularly emphasized by
Eugene Grub during his recent
visit here. Clean soil and high al
titude are two of the most inn
portant reasons why Mr.. Grub be-
lieves that this county would make
excellent profits in raising high
class seed for other potatoe sections
all over the United States.
The directors of the Farm Bureau,
realizing the benefits of his work,
will endeavor to secure Mr.. Grubb's
services during the remainder of the
year and hope that he will be able
to visit this county at least three
times more during the potatoe grow
ing season. His first visit, accord
ing to County Agent Wilson, has no
doubt saved the potato growers in
the Winnemucca and Golconda sec
lions from $4,000 to 900 through
the recommendation received from
Mr.. Grub on better seed and cul-
tivation.
Mr.. Grub emphasizes the need
of treating all seed potatoes with
corrosive sublimate before planting
The following formula for treat
ment is recommended: Dissolve
two ounces of corrosive sublimate
(bichloride of mercury in two gal.
Ions of hot water. When the cor.
rosive sublimate is dissolved, ado
cold water until you have fourteen
gallons in all. Having put the po'
tatoes in a gunny sack, place thu
sack in the solution and leave il
there for one and one-half hours
Then empty the potatoes out upor
the floor to dry before cutting ant
planting. If they can be left thu!
exposed to the light and air for 1
few days they will grow all thu
better. On account of its action OF
metals this solution must be pre-
pared in a wooden vessel, barre
for instance.

PUT PROHIBITION
To VOTE OF PEOPLE


Proposal to hold an unofficial
straw vote, on the same day as the
coming municipal election, in an
effort to obtain the views of Reno
and Sparks, and possibly other
municipalities which hold elections on
that date, on the liquor question,
was suggested by Judge Frank II.
| Norcross, former chief justice OF
the state supreme court. Judge
Norcross explained today that he
had no interest in the matter other
| than to give the people an OPP
portunity to express their prefer
ences at this time, for, he added,
sooner or later, the individuals will
insist upon an opportunity to Off
cially cast their ballots upon this
question.
Four questions are suggested to
be put before the voters, the straw
vote to take place Tuesday, May &,
in a place adjacent to the lawful
polling places, and care being taken
to see that only registered voters
cast the straw ballots. 1t is sug-
gested that here is sufficient in
terest in the question to obtain
fair opinion of the people, and
that tellers could be obtained to
serve and see that there was no
stuffing of the ballot boxes.
Ii any expense were connected
with obtaining such straw vote,
Judge Norcross said he believed it
would be nominal and that public
spirited citizens interested in the
question would willingly contribute
toward fund to defray such ex-
penses.
The four questions Judge Nor
cross proposes are:
l. For the law as it now exists,
state and national.
2. For the law as it existed prior
to the Eighteenth amendment and
adoption of the national and state
prohibition acts.
3. For a modification of the pres
ent law so as to permit the manu-
facture and sale of light wines and
beer only.
A. For modification of the
Eighteenth amendment, so as to
permit the manufacture of intoxi-
eating liquors, including whiskey,
! brandy, gin, wines and beer, with
out restriction as to alcoholic con-
tent, under federal authority and
tax, to be sold under revocable
government license to the individual;
prohibiting re-sales between indi-
Oil nir i
other public places.
II believe such straw vote
could be taken with success and the
opinion of the people obtained"
Judge Norcross said. "Sooner or
later the people will insist upon
expressing their individual opinion
IN this matter at the polls, and
this would give the residents of
Reno and Sparks, and perhaps other
communities, the opportunity to
express this opinion and possibly
would start such a movement
throughout the country. 1t would
be more thorough and more fair
than the one taken some time ago
by the Literary Digest"
ouuSe NofeToSS says the questions
could be framed differently if it
were thought necessary, or that
possibly another proposition might
be added to the four he suggested.
1.-The law as it is now is all
wrong" he said. 81 am glad
have no family to raise under the
existing conditions. We didn's have
our boys and girls, in pre-prohibi-
ton days, going to school dances
with the smell of liquor on their
breaths. The present prohibition
law has done nothing but bring
about a disrespect for all laws."-

HAIR FROZEN OFF OF
CATTLE; DUCKS IN STORMS

II have seen things happen this
winter that / have never seen before
in the years that l have been in

other day to White Pine News
reporter.
II saw the hair frozen eff Of -.
4Ges and saw ducks come
right up to strawstacks and feed
yards by the hundreds and feed
with the stock. The third remark
able thing this winter was sheep
being showed in and without food
for 81 days and live. The like was
never heard of before and how to
account for it, l do not knora, and
nobody knows.
st was February IA, during the
flg blizzard, that the snow blew
and mated into the hair on tie
sides of the cows, and it froze and
hung there. Inside of a few days
after the srow had dropped off
the hair peeled right off and /
do not be.leve that it will ever grow
again, fer the hides seem to have
scared and glazed over, showing
that the 1oots of the hair are gone,
II have told this to several stock.
men and they said it was pari.ites
OF insects that acted like scabi IS or
mango, but l know better, as it hap
pened, as l have told you, the hair
peeling off at the exact spots where
the snow had been frozen into it
and the hides scared"
The water where the ducks usual
ly winter. was frozen over and re-
manned so, according to Mr.. Yell
and, compelling them to seek food
on land. They had no other recourse
but to go to the strawstacks and
feedyards and live on such grair
and seeds as they could find.
Many ducks winter in the warn
springs of Spring Valley, as a rule
but this time they were crowded ou
by ice and snow and it seems thai
instinct failed to send them soutl
in time to avoid being caught il
this remarkable storm.
According to Mr.. Yelland, man,
of them died, probably not from
starvation, but from freezing; ant
dead mallards and teal were a com
mon sight there.
