McDERMITT, Feb. 5.-McDer
mitt has had over a week of the
coolest weather of the winter, the
temperature being Is degrees be-
low on Monday and Tuesday night
of last week and 20. degrees below
Friday night, and not far from
these readings on other nights, with
almost no thawing of the snow dur
ing the daytime.
But now that the Ground hog

rABLoIDs FROM ELKo

The fellow who won't advertise
during quiet times is a good deal
like the one who wont burn coal
because the price is high and can't
get enough wood to keep himself
warm.
The Literary Digest says that Ne
,vada is second only to California
in the number of people who read
that enlightened work. This condi-
ton, the Digest says, is doubtless
due to the number of people seek
ing divorce in Reno. Nevada def
nitely repudiates the theory that all
of her intellectually is wrapped up
in the decree hounds in the west
state metropolis. Even though we
stand for their presence here, we
still have some sense.
Fallon wonders how Elko beat her
at basketball after Fallon had
beaten Sparks and Sparks had
beaten Elko; Reno wonders how she
defeated Winnemucca after Elko
defeated her and was defeated by
Winnemucca; Winnemucca wonders
how Elko won from Reno when
Reno defeated Winnemucca and
defeated Elko. Which
proves Einstein's theory-but takes
a tournament to definitely settle it.

WINNEMUcCA, NEVADA
NEyApA.s IDLE ACRES

Yes, as suggested by local news
paper, Nevada might gain by hav-
ing a state press bureau. Its pur-
pose would be to bring to the at
tention of passing tourists the
agricultural and other opportunities
offered by the state.
That many ranchers from Idaho
and elsewhere have passed through
Nevada looking for land, almost
always headed for California, Is
true.
A press bureau would be good as
far as it would go, but no further.
1t would not cure the fundamental
trouble with Nevada's agricultural
settlement, which is the water ques-
tion. What Nevada needs most of
all is a. system for water develop
ment, and that in a manner to
make its cost and the cost of its
use come within the means of the
Pine News.

BOGUS MOVIE MAN
! ROUNDS Up I
| At BISHOP

Arrivals from Bishop tell of a
roundup of illicit liquor dealers
through a clever piec6 of detective
work. The Los Angeles Examiner
contains this account of the affair:
"Motion picture directors seek
ing atmosphere will do well to avoid
the little city of Bishop, in Inyo
county. This warning is given to
avert a possible loss of life or limb
In the Aim industry, should any
member of the screen world happen
to wander into Bishop. At least
seven residents of the town have
sworn to commit dire things on the
person of any man who drops into
the village and remarks casually
that he is q movie representative.
The reason for all this animosity is
laid to- Sheriff Charles Collins de-
sire to see the Wright liquor en-
forcement act upheld. When the
sheriff took office recently, it was
no secret that liquor in generous
quantities was procurable from
many sources. Efforts to stop the
flow by ordinary raids failed.
Franhlin Du Point Arrives
Then Franklin Du Point, repre-
senting the World Scenic Film Com
pany of Hollywood dropped into
town. He rented large house and
announced that he had come to find
locations and make preliminary
arrangements for filming a picture
there. He let it be known that
he intended to hire many 'supers'
in addition to bringing fifty actors
and actresses from Hollywood to
the spot. The villagers Of Bishop
found him an interesting visitor,
whose pocketbook always bulged.
"The name of ). the picture, Du
Point said, was to be The Turn of
the Road
'For several days he discussed
plans for the proposed work and
made arrangements to rent vari-
ous portions of the surrounding
scenery. Then he declared that, q
motion picture player being temper
amentak il would be almost es-
sential that = supply of liquor be
found. Several public spirited citi-
Gems heard his remark. They de-
cided that Bishop was not going to
lose its first opportunity to get in
the Aim limelight merely because
Mr., Wright had written q law
against alcoholic beverages.
Mystsrious Bundlss
Zone night seven Of these citi-
Gems each carrying mysterious bun
dies, called at Mr.. Du Points home.
They arrived one at a time and
were greeted by the film director
cordially. Also, when they had de-
posted their bundles they were
greeted by Sheriff Collins who was
awaiting them in another room.

were assessed next day by the Rev.

SHEEP COMMISSION
SUBMITS REPORT

The annual report of the stats
sheep commission for the year 1925
is being distributed by President S
H. Wheeler and Secretary c. D
Wolfensparger.
The report, which has been sub.
mitted to Governor ]. G. Scrugham
states that there was less contag-
ious and infectious diseases during
the year than at any period during
the past six years. One small herd
of sheep was treated for lip and
leg liberation. This condition is
classed as a soil disease, and varies
in prevalence from year to year
but there was no trouble from this
source in a general way.
The report states that from De-
cember 1, 1921, to November 80,
1922, no infected sheep were
brought into Nevada from other
states. There were two outbreaks
of scabies in the state among two
herds numbering 34,314 sheep. A
total of 76 herds numbering 148,393
sheep were dipped following their
exposure to scabies.
The report says IN part:
"Due to the severe winter of
1921-1922 and the unusually late
spring of 1929, abnormally heavy
losses of sheep were experienced.
As nearly as can be determined,
the loss of stock sheep exceeded 20
per cent, or from 10 to IL per cent
above normal. The lamb crop, the
past spring, did not exceed SO per
cent, or 25 per cent less than
normal.
"Under normal conditions in Ne
vada, to 10 per cent of young
ewes are required to replace death
losses and 16 per cent to replace
old ewes unfit for further breed
ing. OF the so per cent of lambs
raised, one half are, according to
the usual estimates, females and
one-half males. The past year the
death loss of breeding sheep has ex-
,eeded 20 per cent. Replacement
If old ewes unfit for further breed
ng normally requires 16 per cent,
making a SO per cent loss of stock
'heep. To offset this loss, there
1ave been raised this season 25
Der cent Of female lambs, leaving
! net los of least IL per cent in
he stock sheep population in this
tate after crediting the years lamb

I'm connection with the work of

vear, we desire to acknowledge and
o express our appreciation for the
and effective cooperation
# the fficials of the Nevada Land
Live stock association, the United
'tate Bureau of Animal Industry,
he Idaho State Board of Sheep
commissioners and the Livestock

The total assessed valuation of
heep, bucks and goats for the year
mounted to $3,718,103. Elko
ounty leads the list with $685.

479,974; Washoe third with $685.

NEARLY FROZEN IN
STORM AND COLD

Mr.. and Mrs. Gerald Dugan, who
were rescued from the snow a few
days ago, are reported to be show
| ing some improvement. Mrs. Dugan
is badly frozen about the feet and
she and her husband are still under
the doctors care, says the Ely
Times.
Mr.. Dugan was able to talk yes
terday evening and in describing the
terrible experience of himself and
wife said that his car ran off the
road on the south side of the sum-
nit and into snow drift. After
making several attempts to get the
car out he decided that they would
have to abandon it and he and Mrs.
Dugan walked to the emergency
telephone station on the summit
road where they expected to be able
to summon aid. After several un-
successful attmepts to get in COM
munication with the city they de-
cided the phone was out of order
and determined to attempt the
struggle through the snow over the
summit.
1t was Monday evening shortly
after o'clock when the two aban-
doned the car and started to battle
through the snow. They struggled
through the night and all day Tues
day with nothing to eat and Tues
day night they continued to fight
their way down the canyon. Some
time during the night Mrs. Dugan
became exhausted and fell in the
snow unable to rise. Mr.. Dugan
attempted to carry her to a par
TALLY sheltered place under some
rocks but owing to his weakened
condition from the lack of food and
the effort in breaking trail he was
unable to move her. He then de-
cided to leave his wife and try to
break through the few remaining
miles and get assistance.
The young people had with them
bird dog which fought his way
through the snow following his mas
ters and Mr.. Dugan, taking his
heavy coat which he had been carry
ing wrapped the dog in the coat
next to his wife in order to keep
her as warm as possible, started
again on his heroic struggle for
help.
Mrs. Dugan said today that she
believed she owed her life to the
faithful dog as the intelligent ami
NAL seemed to know that it was
wrong for her to go to sleep and
each time she lost consciousness the
dog would lick her face and strug-
gle in the covering, causing her
to awaken. She undoubtedly would
nave frozen if she had ever gone
TO sleep in her weakened condition.
Mr.. Dugan fought his way through
the snow Until he came in sight of
the fish hatchery which he reached
after hours of toll to find no one
there. He started for the ice plant
which was in sight, but he said it
seemed ages before he was able to
make the few hundred yards, he was
so weak and exhausted. Several
times he shouted and thought he
was calling so lound that people in
Ely could have heard him, but he
realized when he reached the dwell
ling next to the ice plant, that he
was so weak that he could hardly
make the people hear his voice. that
what he thought was a lusty cry,
was a very feeble cry.
Telephone messages were imme-
diately sent to Ely and Mrs. Dugan
was soon under the care of a doc
tor. Mr.. Dugan was badly frost
bitten about the feet and is still in
4 helpless condition from exhaus-
ton.

THAT'S A PROMISE HAROLD

The editor of the Winnemucca
Silver State, in an editorial COM
ment, intimates that Elko county
was not in good faith in its sup
port of movement to bring the
state capital to Winnemucca some
years ago which resulted disastrously
to Humboldt county by laying the
way open for the creation of Perish
ing county out of Humboldt's terri
torial possessions. In defense of Elko
county. we can only say that such
was not her intent, but that her
support of Humboldt county in the
movement was given voluntarily and
in. utmost good faith. Perhaps a
situation may arise at some future
date in which Elko county can prove
the genuiness of this assertion
