TONOPAH WOMAN CLAWED
BY ANGRY CIRCUS LION

Mrs. Louise Micklich, landlady of
the Merchants hotel, was clawed by
Z ioness at the circus Sunday
night, receiving several lacerations
about the shoulder besides suffering
the loss Of a cloak and fur collar
she was wearing. The animal was
in bad humor all day as her whelps
had been taken away and her ugly
mood was manifested in angry
snarling whenever anybody ap-
preached. The circus management
tried to keep the people at a dis
tance from the barred cage, but in
the crowd Mrs. Micklich was showed
SO close to the cage that the lioness
reached out with one swipe of its
paw. striking the lady's shoulder,
It is believed the animal was en-
ragged by the appearance of the
fur cape. DR.. Guffey treated Mrs.
Micklich and the circus management
paid the victim $125 to cover the
injuries.-Tonopah Times.

DAMAGE TO ALFALFA BY
FROST SAID TO BE GREAT

Terrible damage, amounting in
places to an estimated straight loss
Of 25 per cent, was suffered during
the week by frost to the first crop
Of alfalfa in eastern Nevada, says
the White Pine News.
The clouds during the rainy week
lifted for but a few hours one night
and the temperature dropped quickly
to the freezing point, the area of
the frost being mostly in the lower
lands, where conditions of nature
make them subject to such vaista-
tion. Yet the frost was general,
though where alfalfa fields are on
uplands they did not suffer the ef-
fects so much.
For the reason that the first crop
is the one generally figured in mar
keting the loss would be heavier
but for one artificial circumstances,
which is that the quarantine of a
large part of White Pine county
against weevil. On accocnt of it
the hay it not marketed anyway,
and therefore the loss applies only
to the quantities of hay for home
feeding, but on that account it is
none the less serious. The stock
that~is fed with it is even of more
Importance than any possible value
from maketing the hay direct.

MAY HAVE TO PLOW UP
ALFALFA FIELDS IN FALLON

Many fields of alfalfa in the New
lands project may have to be plowed
up and replanted on account of the
lowered water table as a result of
the building of drainage canals.
Fields over 2xevious Soils sxequire an
abnormal amount of water while
other fields are unproductive even
with an abundance of irrigation.
The condition is explained that
where alfalfa has been growing over
high water table shallow mass of
roots develop. As the water under
the ground is lowered the plants are
left stranded, without sufficient-mois-
ture since there are not enough
roots within the shallow depth to
which they penetrate. This requires
considerably more irrigation, and in
many cases even this is not effec-
tive.
New plants would develop greater
root growth for several feet down
to the lowered water table. and
would take moisture from a greater
amount Of moist soil. Old plants. it
is believed, will ;.vt develop tn, re-
qui-ed root growth
In some feds the plants grow
three or four inches and then bloom.
Farmers me- .r;lg in the Harmon
district are asxing for a greater
amount Of water for the minimum
charge to take care Of the extra
irrigation required since the drain
age system became effective.-Fal-
Ion Eagle.

IN NJ De ERM|TT
travelling Trapper From Oresor

Barn Last Tuesday; Found
BY Woman Resident

McDERMITT, June 12.-Consid-
erable excitement prevailed in Nc
Dermitt to-day when it was learned
that q tragedy had occurred some
time this afternoon.
Mrs. Vicente Mendieta was the
first to discover the sad occurrence.
Going to the large stone barn in
the rear Of the State Line House,

$lso,ooo ADDED TO
HUMBOLDT TAX ROLL

The Nevada Tax Commission has
announced that it has raised the
assessed valuation of the Pullman
Car Co. from last years assess
ment of $692,70O to $1,733,74O.
The Bell Telephone Co. properties
in Nevada have their assessment
raised $250,000 above last years
valuation. These increases are sub
ject to review by the State Board
Of Equalization which meets in Car
son City in August.
Should these increases go through
as proposed, the assessed valuation
in Humboldt county would be in
creased $150,000, which would pro-
duce at the 1923 rate of taxation
an added revenue of around $45,-
900. OF this increase in valuation
the Pullman Car Co. would fur
nish about $4,000, while the Bell
Telephone Company's share would
be nearly $12,750. Other public
utility companies would make up
the balance Of the $150,000. The
assessed valuation Of the railroads
has not SO far been changed by the
Tax Commission.

JAPANESE MAY ESTABLISH
COLONY IN 0RMSBY COUNTY

Plans for establishing a Japanese
colony on Ormsby county lands are
under consideration.
If the deal reported pending is
consummated the real estate hold
ings of C. A. Ambrose and of one
or two others, comprising at least
l,200 acres Of land along or near
the Carson river, will pass into pos
session of powerful Pacific coast
association engaged in agricultural
development and associated coloniza-
tion enterprises.
Sukeo Kitasawa, representive of
the association, came from San
Francisco and made a thorough
examination of the Ambrose and
other lands considered in the deal.
With Kitasawa was the Japanese
associations soil expert, who went
over the ground carefully, studied
the topography of the tracts and
took many soil samples for tests
and analysis. The titles to the lands
were examined by a Japanese who
specializes in that line for the COM
pany.-Carson News.

GARDEN COURT DRIVE SHARES
SUCCESS WITH NEWEST FAD

Having already equalled the sales
record established during last years
Garden Court Products Week, the
present drive by the Stephenson
Drug Co. to introduce this well
established line of toilet prepara-
tions to new customers is proving
a wonderful success. With three
days remaining during which the
public has the opportunity Of get
ting double value for the mony they
invest in these preparations it is
certain that sales will exceed all
former records.
Attracting nearly as much inter-
est as the Garden Products is the
first showing in Winnemucca of the
fad that is sweeping the larger cities
of the east this summer and that
has already invaded a number Of
Nevada townsville Japanese para
sol which is used SO extensively with
the Egyptian, Paisley and other
bright colored gowns.

TO KILL HORSES
/ FOR HIDE VALUES
Wild Horses Now Roaming Ranges
Will Be Killed This Summer for
Value of Hides and to Rid
the Ranges of Them

Worthless except for their hides,
great numbers of wild horses are
to be slaughtered this summer in
northern Humboldt county, SO that
they may not devour good range
grasses to the detrimnet of live
stock upon which monetary returns
may be realized. The work is to be
started on the range near the ranch
Of Tom Duffurena on Virgin Greek,
he having secured a permit from the
county commissioners to kill all un-
branded horses in that vicinity and
in turn contracted with Kize G.
Lamb, old-time wild horse hunter
and former chief of police, to do
the work. Lamb returned here
yesterday from California for that
purpose.
Nevada's wild horses have been
the basis of a number of stories
which have appeared in print re-
Gently, such terms as "the wild
horses of the Owyhee desert" ap-
parently being considered delectable
morsels by metropolitan writer's.
Some persons have expressed opin-
ions that such wild horses are en-
tirely mythical-that there is no
place, in these days Of civilized
United States, so wild and wooly'
that wild horses roam at large. If
there is such a place, they argue,
why are the horses not caught and
sold at good profit?
Wild horses may be caught easily
enough by experienced riders and
ropers, and thereafter broken to
become useful animals, and in fact
this very thing is done in the vicin-
ity of Winnemucca. But as for
making such an enterprise a paying
matter, it is laughable to Mr.. Lamb,
who has had perhaps as much or
more experience in that line than
any other man hereabouts.
A few years ago few carloads
of live wild horses were rounded
up and shipped to Petaluma, Calf,
for chicken feed, but that was dur
ing the time of abnormally high
prices and did not, even under those
circumstances, prove financially sue
cessful, for the reason that freight
rates were high and the cost of
catching the horses, driving them to
this city over long distances and
loading them on cars, was greater
than the amount received for them
At the present time high-bred and
carefully raised horses are more or
less unsaleable at price anywhere
near the cost Of breeding and rais-
ing.
AS stated, the present work of
killing wild horses is to be carried
on principally for the purpose Of
Kidding the ranges of useless stock,
the amount to be received for the
hides to partially compensate for
the effort expended.
