FRENCH HAVE FAILED, CUNE0 TELLS HOUSE
Germans Not Ready to Seek Agreement on Ruhr, Pre- mier AsSertS-Action of French InimicaI to
 World

BERLIN. March s.-(By Associate Press )-Chancellor Cuno's speech before tho rechstag today took the form of lengthy protest against the French and Belgian occupation of the Ruhr and was devoid of new and significant utterances in connec- tion with the Ruhr situation beyond the statement that Germany had not suggested the inauguration of nego- tiations with the occupying powers and that all rumors to this effect were without authoritative basis.
 The chancellor recapitulated in de- tail the situation growing out of. the occupation of the Ruhr from the first day, and the more recent invasion of Baden.
 He was frequently interrupted by expressions of indignation as he re- cited the number of arrests. convic- tions, eviotions and deportations of German officials who refused to carry out the orders of the occupa- tion authorities.
 s.Dismal Economic Failure"
 The Franco Belgian expedition. he said, had thus far resolved itself into a dismal economic failure, the gains from which suggested a doubt full offset to the alleged German de- linQuencies in the payment of repa- rations.
 The French actions in the Ruhr he termed viciously inimical to the worlds economic welfare in general and to the promotion of European re- construction in particular.
 Herr Cuno lauded the passive re- sistance with which the German pop In and asserted that this resistance obvious ly was the only weapon at Germany's s disposal. After nine weeks Of stub born, unarmed opposition fraught with all kinds of priyatfons, the ter man nation today was an unfaiterlns rnit in its determination to hold out against the heavy physical odds

 Attacks French.
 The parliamentary leaders were convinced that Herr Cuno and his cabinet proposed to remain consist ent in their attitude that any sug- eestion of mediation, either direct or through neutral sources, must De based on the condition of equal treat ment for Germany. and. further, that resumption of reparation payments must be contingent on commensurate indemnification for the damage sur fered by Germany tHrou6H tio isu invasion. Meanwhile, the govern ments attitude would De 50 constr tuted that the French would not Dc ?. provoked into a declaration of war.
 m his speech the chancellor de- 5clared the French decree imposing the death penalty in cases where rail transport was seriously endangered by the actions or abstentions of rail- way officials as "an act of terror ism against the German railwaymen, compelling them by brutal penalties to be false to their oath to German sovereignty"

P|OCHE DAILY TRAIN
GAINED BY FIGHTING

'On M recent visit 10 Phoebe |
could not help noticing II thing,
said L. f. Peer, a pioneer mining man
who lived for many years at the
southern camp and removed here
a year and a half ago. There IS a
town of only 500 inhabitants. yet il
has a daily train service. while Ely,
with 1000 population, has a train
only three times a week.
The difference is IN the way the
business men have gone about IL. AT
Phoebe they have a Chamber of Com
merce and 1t works as a unit. There
are but two general stores. a drug
store, postofice, meat market and two
garages. That is about all there is
of Phoebe in a business way. Their
Chamber of Commerce demanded a
daily train several months ago. There
was no division. Every business
man stood pat and helped in the
fight and they won.
They had a hearing before the
public service commission-two or
three hearings" said Mr.. Peer. but
they stayed with 1t and fought II
out. Down there they have a bright
young lawyer named Scott. lie Is a
rustler and a fighter. He is a mem
Der of the state senate and is known

the railroad and he headed the citi-
zens in their fight"

vice is much better at Phoebe since
the Union Pacific purchased the in
terests of Senator Clark in the rail-
way. The relations of the people and
the railway company are harmoni-

former expired and had to be re-
newed, having been preearious at all
times. The permanent tariff makes
directly for a steadying effect and
the narrower range predicted for this
year bears out forecasts made last
year that it would have that effect,
but the price is far above what it was
then believed it would be under the
more moderate rate.
Owners are planning upon shearing
before lambing this year. That will
depend upon what nature does for
them in the way of holding a whip
hand g the weather. II an open
winter means a late and cold spring,
as IT generally does. and If this con-
tinues to be a really open winter, the
program may have to be reversed.
Last year they had TO wait and 1t
may happen again.

ONION MARKET TO Be
BETTER BY MARCH |

The difference between the market
price of onions now and a year ago
Is so vast that the difference between
daylight and darkness has nothing
on it. Last year at this time old
!, onions sold in Ely and everywhere
that anybody here knows about at
% cents to 80 cents a pound. They
were as high at the railway towns of
western Utah and scarce all over.
Today they are down TO around 4
cents a pound. Some extra fine ones
sell for as much as 2 cents and
poorer ones for less. Since early in
the fall they have been begging on
the market.
But it is the belief of growers and
dealers that they are in for an adj
vance by March L. It Is explained
that the large supply of Utah onions
that are stored here will have been
sold by that time and that there will
be a %livelier maret for the local
ones, which are numerous but not
too many for the demand that is
sure at that time and is always good
in the cooler months.
The Spanish varieties and the
smaller silverskins are good during
their season. but their real season
preeedes that of the Australian
browns, so largely grown hereabouts.
They are the best keepers.
One grower informed the White
Pine news representative that ne had
LOO pounds in storage in Ely; that
he was not worrying about them. as
March would be 2 better market
period, and that he had at least three
times that many more at his ranch.
They will go quickly, according to
his idea. but the Utah onions win
have to be consumed in the mean
time.
! In sheep countries onions are near

~ always a profitable crop. Last
year was a rare exception. Camp
wagons, with no means of keeping
stuff from freezing, cannot carry po-
tatoes. The main vegetable substi-
tute is the onion, though some use
more or less carrots.
The raising of onions involves a
lot of hard work. They are so small
and slow of growth that weeds choke
them out if not constantly weeded.
Several weddings in ordinary used
soil are vital. They require frequent
irrigation and constant attention.
