THE BADGER FIGHT

The Miller Hotel has a badger a
mong the many pets in it's menagerie
and last Wednesday certain members
OF the grand jury now in session, aid
ed and abetted by Sheriff Balzar, ar
ranged fight between the badger and
oe Bane's airdale dog. Many bets
were made as to which would be the
victor and for while the excitement
was high. The musteloid was placed
in a barrel with rope attached to it's
neck. Grand juror Minis volunteered
to pull it out of the barrel, Erenest Rae
kliff holding the dog meanwhile. AT
ter all preliminaries were settled the
word was given and Mr. Minis began
to pull. The badger seemed unwilling
to leave the barrel, but Minis, who is
quite muscular, gave strong pull and
said, "comc out, gol darn ye,' and fl
nally dragged it out. But, alas, it was
not badger at all, but very useful
bedroom utensl. The amazement OF
Minis and the hilarity of the spectators
was great and large quantities of near
beer, etc, were consumed by the fans.
Strange how this gray-whis hiskered
"ioke" can be pulled off in this day of
our Lord.

HE MISSED THE ROAD

The department has just received
letter from a motorist in which he
requests that the State pay for the
damage to his car which resulted from
striking the iorn-pipe guard rail on
a culvert end and the consequent ditch
ing of his car. Strange to say, the
highway at the point where the ac
cident occurred is "a feet wide, the
culvert being the same length, and the
inch iorn-pipe ratings, also the point
of the accident is on a straight stretch
of highway with no curves or other
impediment to clear vision. Until
the letter came we wondered who
had been driving at such an excessive
speed, or perhaps was otherwise en-
gagged, as to take culvert end for
the roadway, making necessary guard
rail and cuivert headwa1 replacement
at considerable expense to the de-
partment.
Now that we have the letter, however,
instead of paying for the damaged car
we are seriously thinking of present
ing the bill for culvert repairs. The
point is that the State will probably
never be able to build highways of
sufficient width to accommodate some
motorists. 1t therefore appears to
us that the fellow who drives through
guardrail into the ditch, smashing
his car, and riskiing his neck in the
process, is a victim o. circumstances
of his own making and must bear
the consequences. Nevada Highway

New leaching Plant

(From the Yerington Times
The Walker River Copper Company
are making preparations to begin the
construction of teaching plant at thei,
mines west of the city of Ycrington,
according to information received from
J. E. Gelder, Superintendent and en-.
gineer of the company, who with his
wife and son, spent several days il
this city last week.
According to Mr. Gelder his COM
pany has for some time been plan
ming the construction of plant with
a daily capacity of 500 tons, which
will cost in the neighborhood of $780,

THE LETHAL GAS CASE

The Chinese Tong murderers, Louis

if James NJ. Frame of Frame s. Ra-
fetto, associated in the case with Tho
mas Jefferson Davis Salter, can help it
says the Reno formal.
This was the declaration of Frame
himself Frame, unlike the moribund

petition for rchearing in the lethal
gas case that may substitute the sweet

The petition will be filed in IS days
or in 80 days longer if time is granted
and it will further suspend the sent
ence 1t will operate to delay the ex-
ecution if ultimately ordered, for some
four months, maybe.
The petition has nothing to do with
lethal gas. THE court is dead right
in that respect said Mr. Frame last
night, "and Furthermore the opinion is
a splendid opinion. ! consider it the
finest opinion | have read in the Ne
vada reports,

The specifications on which Attor-
ney Frame will rely in pointing out
the record are, as to error;
In denying separate trials; in ad-
mitting an alleged confession in evil

CASH IMMEDIATELY

If any residents of the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District comprising
California, Washington, Oregon, Ida
no, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and-for
Savings purposes-Alaska and Hawaii,
are still holding 4 3-4 per cent Victory
Notes of the Fifth Liberty Loan with
the letters A. B. e, D, L or +, prefix
ed to their serial numbers, the Treas
ury Department desires to call to
their special attention the fact that
these particular Notes were called" by
the Secretary of the Treasury on De-
cember Is, 1922, and therefore have
ceased to bear interest since then
The 8 3-4 per cent Victory Notes also
were called for redemption on June
IS, 1922, and have likewise ceased
bearing interest from that date.
Three hundred and nineteen million
dollars of Victory Notes were sold in
the Twelfth District, and as a consd
cradle portion of the Called series
still remains unredeemed, it is OBJ
viously to the holders interest to cash
them Immediately and put the pro-
ceeds to work through deposits in their
banks or by Investment in other sound
securities. Otherwise, the money tied
up in these expired notes will be earn
ing nothing for it's owner. G
The Treasury Department wishes to
remind all present holders of the 1918
issue of War Savings Stamps that
these stamps matured on January |,
1923.
Facilities have been provided at all
banks and postoffices to handle the
redemptions, either for cash or by ex-
change into Treasury Savings Certi-
ficatcs. Bankers and Postmasters can
give full information on the subject.
If this exchange is made before Jann-
ary 10. the Certificates will be dated
January /, 1923, and will enjoy interest
from that date otherwise they must
bear the date they weere issued and
will draw interest from that date only.
As some fifty million dollars were
due the citizens OF this District on
January /, 1923 for the War Say
ngs Stamps they still held, much un-
scrupulous effort is being made to in
duce those who have not yet re-
deemed their Stamps to part with them
for questionable stocks or to put the
rroceeds into other highly speculative
ventures.
In view of the wide distribution OF
those Stamps among a very large num-
Der of small buyers, the Government
ia greatly concerned in seeing that all
holders get their full face value OF S
per Stamp, and that they reinycst this
money to advantage.
The Treasury therefore recommends
and urges reinvestnent OF those funds
through exchange of the Stamps for 4
ner cent Treasury Savings Certificates
un 10 the limit allowed which is $4,000
maturity value OF these five-year ab-
solutely safe and profitable Certificates

WE'VE months ago most OF the
81 million farmers of the United
) es were starting in on the long
h | climb out of the valley of eco
n 'ic depression. They have not vet
a med the heights which are bathed
IN lie grateful sunshine OF prosperity.
s. e, indeed, have fallen by the way.
.. ers are still in the valley Never
tie less, as we stop a bit and look
bt ward we can see that very CON
Siderable ground has been gained by
the great majority, and we can enter
the New Year with renewed hope and
that courage which comes from the
realization that VIC are really making
progress.
\ year ago, when speaking OF the
prospects for farming in 1922, Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wallace said that
while there was no reason to expect
boom times for the farmers in the
near future, there was promise of bet
ter times. both for the farmer and for
these whose business is largely depend
cnt upon him. The year has brought
fulfillment Of that promise Speaking
generally, the times are better, much
better, than a year ago, both for ag-
ricuIture and for industry
Crops have been good, on the whole.
Prices of the major crops are mostly
considerably higher. While there has
been a corresponding advance in the
prices of things farmers must have,
the total sum which farmers will re-
ceiye for the crops of this year is
greater by a billion and a half dollars
or more, than that which they received
from the crops of last year. This
will certainly mean better time on
the farm and will be able to ease up
a little or the grinding economy they
were forced to practice the preceding
year,
The labor cost of producing the
crops OF 1922 was still further re-
duced There were some substantial
reductions in freight rates, Much
helpful legislation has been enacted
and more will be this winter. Interest
rates are lower and the credit strain
has been eased. This has made il
possible for many farmers who were
heavily involved to refund their obi
cations and get themselves in condi-
ton to win through.
There are still some dark spots.
In some sections weather conditions
were unfavorable and crops were short.
and farmers in these sections are hav-
ing a very hard time of it. Freight
rates are still very high, especially for
those who must pay for long haul to
market.
Taxes are high, but this is largely
due to the increase in local taxes,
over which farmers themselves must
exercise control.
There has been gratifying growth in
farmers cooperative marketing asso-
Citations, and more of them are being
on a sound business basis.
+ Aside from the help which has been
given by the legislation and by admin
istration activities, strong economic
forces are at work to restore more
normal relation between agriculture
and other industries.
The peril in the agricultural de-
preston is more keenly realized By
other groups than ever before, and
on every hand sincere desire is be-
ing evidenced to do what can be done
safely to help the farmer better his
condition.
Everything considered, we have
good reasons to expect still better
