CURB TONE IRREGULAR
IN INITIAL DEALINGS
Volume Of Sales, However, Shows
Marked Increase.

BIZ United Financial
NEW YORK, March 14.-Oils again
featured the irregular curb market
activities in the early hours today.
Sales were slightly larger than they
were at Thursdays morning session,
but the tone remained irregular.
Oils were mostly fractionally lower,
Borne & ScTymser showing the
biggest loss which was only l point.
This oil sold off to 262 around 11:30.
In the industrials the general trend
was upward. Dubilier reached a new
high at 3Oss and subsequently held
steady at 80 under rather heavy sell
ing. American Light and TRACTION
ranged from the opening at 1913 up to
1909. Cuba Company was up TO 40.
Ford Of Canada to ATS and Gillette to
27S.
The postponement of further oil in
vestigatiOns at Washington had no
apparent effect on the market.

GRAINS GET OFF
TO HIGHER START
Wheat Is Leader in Initial
Strength.
By United Financial

CHICAGO. March 14-Grains start
ed strong on the Board of Trade to-
day.
Wheat was the leader in the open
ing strength. Improved export bust
ness and higher Liverpool prices in.
duced locals TO support the market.
The advance. however is expected to
be short lived, as traders are still in
a waiting mood and unwilling to ex-
tend commitments until the Wash
ington situation is clarified.
Corn went up with wheat, light
receipts and good local support Liver
pool reported American corn offerings
being readily absorbed. Argentine
crop weather is ideal and picking is
progressing favorably
Delayed seeding operations and bet
ter cash demand strengthened oats.
Provisions were adversely affected
by hogs and cables.

Approximately one-third of the to-

in Mono and Alpine counties, Cali
fornia, which had been detained on
the ranges owing to restrictions dur
ing the California foot and mouth
disease situation have been moved to
Nevada soil under the permit system
sanctioned by Nevada quarantine of
ficials.
According to DR.. Robert Dill, in
spector in charge of the Nevada
sheep commission, there were 1885,
900 ewes and 10000 lambs in the
area affected.
Those to whom permits have been
issued have driven their sheep inside
the Nevada border, where they will
be given rest period before shipping
to California markets. But one ship
ment-to Los Angeles-so far has
been made, says the Journal.
Permits issued recently to allow re-
turn of sheep to Nevada after inspec-
tion were given by DR.. Dill as fol-

of 80 voters. The four precincts are
divided as follows East Fork (Gard-
nerville) $50; Centerville, 1874; Genoa,
Id; Minden, 1913. OF the $40 voters,
494 are listed as Republicans, 228
Democrats, 86 non-partisan and two
socialists. Out of the total number
of voters 304 are females, 506 males.
Because the law does not allow the
removal of names until after the next
general election, number of voters
that have removed from this COM
munity, or have died since last elec-
ton, are included in the list and the
total of eligible voters in the county
will be reduced to about 750.

new BRIDGE IS
BEING BUILT
Waterloo Lane Has Been
Closed to all Travel Until
New Bridge is Completed

The old bridge that has spanned
the Carson river in the Waterloo
lane for the past forty years, has
been torn down and in it's place a
new structure is to be built.
The concrete abutments are being
poured this week, and until the new
bridge is completed the road leading
to Waterloo past the Dangberg home
ranch will be closed to travel
Work of building the new bridge
is under the supervision of John
Heimsoth, road overseer of this coun-
ty. He examined the old bridge as
much as year ago and found that
the piling was badly rotted and was
unsafe for heavy loads. At this time
there is very little water in the
river, and the work of sinking the
abutments to solid ground is COM
paratively easy task.

WATER RIGHTS
NOT in JEOPARDY

The water users of the state of
Nevada and the state itself will lose
no rights if the findings of Judge
George S. Talbot, special master in
the Truckee river adjudication suit,
are approved by Judge harrington
of the United States district court,
according to Ethelbert Ward, special
assistant for the United States attor-
ney general and counsel for the rec
lamation service.
"The rights of Nevada and its citi-
zens are not placed in jeopardy by
the findings of Judge Talbot to the
effect that the United States govern
ment owns all of the unappropriated
waters in the Truckee river" said
Attorney Ward. "To the contrary
the rights of the state and it's citizens
would be fully protected for the rea-
son that the federal government rec
ognizes the state of Nevada as its
agent in the control of the public
waters in Nevada. If the principle
laid down by Judge Talbot is upheld
by the United States district court
and by the United States supreme
court, and the latter will most cer-
tainly sustain it, the state of Nevada
would still possess the right to ap-
prove or reject filings for water with
in her borders except those made in
the federal government, itself, and
in the latter case any government
appropriations would be subject to
the principles of priority enforced by
the state of Nevada"
