HIGH PRICE FOR
NEVADA FURS

With four big fur firms bidding, the
December catch of fur made by the
state hunters working in conjunction
with the predatory animal control

The entire catch went to the Reno

Tie biological survey forces.
This bid was s1.19 higher than that

But 20 cents was the difference be-
ween the two other bids, the West
Coast Fur exchange of Seattle, Wash

SHORT CUT TO
NATURALIZATION

H. r. Jepsen, clerk of the district
received from the commissioner of
naturalization a communication call
ing attention to the fact that ex-ser-
vice men wishing to take advantage of
the congressional act providing a
short cut to naturalization should do
SO before March third of this year.
The act of congress approved July
19, 1919 authorized naturalization of
honorably discharged aliens who, serv-
ed in the military or naval forces of
the United States during the world
war without complying with many of
the usual requirements for naturali-
zation. such as declaration of inten-
tion, proof of five years residence
in the United States, payment of the
usual 81 filing fee and usual ninety
day walt from the date of filing petit
tion to the date of final hearing I'm
der the special statute approved July
19, 1919, the applicant must appear
before a naturalization examiner with
his honorable discharge and two iden-
tifying witnesses for preliminary ex-
animation. The congressional act un-
der consideration provided that its
benefits will continue in force only
for period of one year after the re-
turn of all American troops to the
United States. The last of the Amer
lean troops returned to this country
March 3, 1928. hence the one-year
period will expire March 8, 1924.
Thereafter honorably discharged
world war veterans will have to COM
ply with the usual laws and require
ments for naturalization, in the same
manner as aliens in ordinary cases.
All men entitled to the benefits of
the special naturalization law should
get in immediate touch with the near
est naturalization examiner.

WOULD CHANGE
MAIL ROUTES

The postal department Is contem
plating a change in handling Gard
nerville and Minden mail through the
consolidation of the two mail routes
serving these towns. At present Min
den mail is received at the depot by
nderson Bros. and taken to the Min
den postoffice.
C. Krummes holds a separate con-
tract for transporting mail from the
Minden depot to Gardnerville.
Should these routes be consolidated
it would mean that the mail would ar
rive in Gardnerville at least an hour
later than under the present sys-
TEN and the same conditions would
exist In dispatching the mail from this
office
Business men of Gardnerville have
united in voicing a protest to the con-
templated change and through petit
tions to the postal department and
representative in congress. They con-
tend that such change would greatly
reduce the efficiency of the mail SER
vice now enjoyed by the people OF
1dI uutIflile anu dll luoSe SeINtu rum
the Gardneryille post office including
those receiving mail on the three star
routes.
1t is hoped that sufficient pressure
can be brought to bear upon the pos
tai department to continue the present
system of mail distribution to the Min
highly satisfactory and demand no
den and Gardneryille Offices which Is
change at this time.

TURNS OVER ON
CARSON ROAD

A Buick roadster driven by Fred
Flodter. and who was accompanied b,
James Mcdonald and two men from
the Dangberg ranch. turned over on
the Carson-Minden highway near
cradelbaugh's Sunday night and aside
from a few bruises the occupants OF
the car escaped uninjured
The car in which they were riding
skidded and before the driver could
regain control of the machine ii left
the highway and overturned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Anderson of Nir-
ginis City happened along few min
utes after the accident and the former
gave assistance. Three of the occu-
pants of the car managed to get free
from the machine but the driver was
still pinned beneath the car. When
released II was found that he was
injured and was brought to Minden
for medical treatment.

APPEAL MADE
FOR CLEMENCY

After exhausting every legal step
Hughie Sing, two Chinese, sentenced TO
be executed at the Nevada state prison
on February Sth for numbering a
Ieountryman at Nina several years ago,
attorneys for the condemned men have
caused a petition to be circulated
throughout western Nevada, asking
the Governor 10, commute the death
sentence to life Imprisonment. The
petition relates that one of the con
demned men was a mere boy of l9
years when the crime was committed
and was ignorant in the laws of the
land.
The petition placed in circulation
nerville Tuesday by Sam Leon and
many signatures were secured to tn
already long list of names secured in
Carson City and elsewhere.
A strong plea for clemeney Is to be
made TO the state board Of pardons
TO save the lives of the murderers.
The petition placed In circulation
and to be presented to the board OF
pardons. will probably carry very little
weight, that body undoubtedly will re-
view the evidence in the case and base
their findings accordingly.
Many people do not believe In capt
tai punishment and signed the pc
tition as a protest against this form
of punishment.

CARSON VALLEY
IS ROCKED BY
EARTHQUAKE

Carson Valley was rocked by an
earthquake early Wednesday morn
ing which was of sufficient tensity to
awaken many from their sound slumb-
ers. The first shock was felt at about
2:3O and few seconds later was fol-
lowed by second disturbance, which
was not as severe as the first.
Many here believe that the earth
quake was general and expected to
learn of heavy damage on the Pacific
Coast. Press dispatches, however,
failed to report any disturbance on
the coast, the quake felt here being
local.
In years past Carson Valley has
been visited by heavy earthquakes and
biologists claim that the fault plainly
visible at the base of the moutains in
back of Genoa was caused by an earth
quake.

FIRST SIGNS
OF SPRING
Spring Is here,

Spring Is here'
The calendar doesn't say so of
course, but the activity of the pugna-
ciously inclined gentry of this COM
munity proves that the calendar is
dead wrong.
The fight occurred early Sunday
morning. To this statement all are
agreed but whether the total number
of combatants was eleven or fourteen
reports vary, probably because all
present were more or less excessively
busy in going over the top or crawling
out from underneath. Just what
started the fistics Is also not very
clear, but someone remembers a dis
pute as to whether the moon was full
or new on that particular night The
locality of the fight was on an Ice
covered portion of the street. After
the first blow was struck, others
climbed in. One of the fighters took
wild swing at the guy nearest him,
missed and landed on his ear on the
Ice He stayed down for the count of
ten and then scrambled to his feet, put
up his arms in proper fighting attitude,
exclaiming who hit me?" Il did,
came voice from the rear and before
the aforesaid mentioned fighter could
turn around, he received a wallop on
the jaw and he skidded out into the
middle of the street Each fighter was
for himself and the devil for them all
and when the battle line gave way 1t
was found that the casualties were
slight. A few black eyes, sore jaw
or two and all was we'll.
In the meantime the loud talking of
the fighting men attracted attention
of numerous residents and a riot call
was sent in to the constable and
sheriff. When the officers arrived at
the battlefield. all was peace and
quiet. The fighters had retired to a
nearby establishment and were sitting
about the room quietly joking and
talking as though nothing had hap
pened

DOUGLAS Wins |
OUT OF 4 GAMES.

The beys' and girls basketball
teams of the Douglas county high
school lost to Carson last Friday night
the former by score of 2S to Is and
the latter by a score of 43 to 81.
A number of players on both loca
teams were suffering with bad colds
which slowed up Their speed to con.
siderable extent, while the boys team
was somewhat handicapped by the facl
that their coach, Harold OBrien was
unable te accompany them on theii
Carson trip because of Illness.
Both Douglas teams felt that they
had an even break to win from Carson
of spirit.
The Carson News reports that "ac-
cording to statement by one of tn.
visitors from Douglas county, the girls
from Gardneryilie expected to defeat
Carson 100 to nothing Their plan Is
said to have been to score an even
hundred points and then permit Car.
on to tally one"
The statement may have been made
by someone In jest, but the Douglas
girls never anticipated any such score
eny more than the Carson girls ex-
eected such result in their favor.
Saturday night at the Douglas audi
'orium three games were played. The
Orphans Here team from Carson de-
'eated the Douglas Freshmen In a
afher one-sided game.
The Douglas girls defeated the
parks team In an exceptional fast
zane by a score of q to 10. At nc
time during the game was the out

VOLUME 43
COUNTIES TOO
MANY in NEV.

The steadily mounting expenses c.
the state and local governments Is
attracting the attention of the gener-
al public and there is a general de-
mand for a reduction in the taxes, but
before this can be brought about some
plan must be put into operation which
will allow a curtailment of expenses,
and the following plan put forth by
J. M. Fulton, district freight and pas
senger agent for the Southern Pacific
during his recent visit to Elko few
days age, Is worthy of consideration
says the Elko Free Press.
"The population of Nevada" said
Mr. Fulton, has steadily decreased
for the last ten years. 1t is less today
than year ago, and less at that time
than the year previous. Something
must be done to attract new settlers
to. the state and to induce those al
ready here to remain. What that plan
will be nobody knows, but there must
be remedy.
I'm my opinion our state has tor
many local governments, county seats
we call them, In proportion to the
population. Instead of the seventeen
counties we now have, five wenld be
amply sueieient. Elko county should
be enlarged to include White Pine,
Eureka and Lander. And this same
plan should be extended all over the
state.
Take Mineral county for instance.
Ii has but 400 Inhabitants, but II
. maintains full county goyernmen
that costs the tax payers a sum out
of all reason. The largest increase in
take is due to local conditions, and
the payment of salaries of the county
officials. And each year there are
more and more of them.
Nevada could be governed with
five big counties as we'll as under the
seventeen we now have. That would
result in the elimination of twelve
county governments. Think what that
would mean. The public would have
to travel a little further to get to the
county seats. but they could afford to
do that to have their taxes cut In
half
"High taxes are driving away our
present settlers and keeps propectiye
settlers from coming in. as the first
thing they want to know is the tax
rate. | believe the people will favor
this plan, but what howl Will go up
from the public officials. who will be
the only ones to lose. many of them
not being tax payers, not even paying
an income tax"

GOAT HOPS THRU

A Billy goat left a band of sheep
that he was leading through Minden
few days ago long enough to climb
upon the porch of the Farmers Mer-
camille compant store. No sooner had
he reached the porch, when Buff. H.
r. Mack's dog decided that Billy was
out of place and took after him. An
automobile drove up about this time
and the goat took the shortest route
to safety-through the the glass panel
in the store door. His presence in
the store brought fear to several GUS
TONERS but Billy avoided all humans
and after hurried trip to the several
departments finally located door and
made hasty retreat, and back to his
place at the head of the band of sheep
that he abandoned to seek ventures
