WOOL MARKET ON MOVEJN NEVADA Present Prices Hovering Near the Fourteen Cent Mark Reno Gazette : Nearly all the large orooa of early wools along the line of the Southern Pacific, from Elko to Reno, have been contracted at from 14 to 141c Bv "early wools" ia meant those aheared before lamb'ng, beginn ing about the 20th of March and runn ing toward the latter part of April. The "late wools" are a ho red after lamb ing, during the latter part of Mav and tbe month of June. So far aa known about the only large clio in the terri tory mentioned that haa not been con tracted ia that of Thomas Nelson, at Stone House. In addition to the above aevaral Paradise valley clips are re ported sold, aava the Silver State. The contract price thia year is about one cent above that paid last season, and while many believe that tbe ad vance ia due to speculation, the fact that no offers have teen made for tbe late wool at any once would seem to indicate that there ia another reason. It is considered likely bv men familiar with the aituation that the eastern tuvyrs contemplate paving the product manufactured and Bold before congress has had time to change the tariff sche dules on wool.

And there ia a rood reason. The "seasonal" rainfall includea the period aince September 1st. much of which usually has verv little effect on tbe growth of soring and winter growing orooa. In this aoction much leaa than the normal amount of moisture, if properly distributed, ia sufficient to raise crops. The moisture that haa fallen thia winter and especially with the recent havv raina. the surface and to a aufficent depth, the ground haa been keot wet and fall grain Is getting well rooted. The atand ia reported to be unusually good and the color excell ent. Lake County haa been receiving moisture nearly every day and all of the snow that haa peen melted haa gone into the ground instead ot running into the lake aa it haa done heretofore. Farmers are plowing and are right into tbe regular spring work with a will, and if we havo a normal amount of rain fall during the montha of May and June tbe crop will be hummer. Of courae we shall need the spring raina. and there ahould be more anow in the mountaina for those who depend on irrigating. But there ia time enough vet and no reason to suppose that the raina will not come. An inch of rain in May or June will do more than three inchea in September to make crops, and some or the most productive sea sons, we have ever htd. aooording to aome of the old time residenta. have been those of light water fall during the early aeaaon. followed bv spring rains.

RAILROAD TO DI VIDETHE STATE Planned Survey Will Make a Decided Cutoff Harney County Newa: At varioua times In the past two vears the Newa has given Information and auggestion that the Chicago & Northwestern rail road was very liable to traverse Har nev co jntv from the east to west and probably reach the Pacific ocean at Coos Bav and that la operating toward that end would be among the earliest In thia section. It la now apparent that the information waa correct and the likelihood of Its fulfillment waa the great moving cause which set the Harrlman people going actively to oc cupy this territory. It la known that engineers auooosed to be In the employ of the Northwest ern have been engaged only very re cently taking levels on the aouth aide of Malhur Lake along the line of sur vey made for the Boise & Western and the Oregonlan of last Friday contains a lengthy article whlcb leave no doubt that the road la pointing thia wav with such eaav strides that Its advent mav be expected simultaneously with the Harrlman line. The following exeerota are taken from the Oregonian artlole : Direct connection between tbe con sisting linea of the Chicago & North western Railway and the Pacific coast through both Portland and Coos Bav a the gigantic plan undertaken .bv the directora ot that road, who have aent William A. Gardner, president of the lines, to the Northwest to mako imme diate arrangements for beginning con struction work. It will extend into Ore gon within the preaent year, ia the an nouncement. Thia route will give the Northwest ern Pacific and Northwestern a line between Portland and Chicago more than 800 miles shorter than any exist ing route.

DATE OF COLON IST DAY IS SET Governor Says Oregon Needs Active Money and Efficient Work Setting aaide February 22 as Colo nist Uav for 1912 Governor West, in hia proclamation calls special attention to tbe aort of colonists Oregon need. He urgea people of tbe atate to write back Eaat to their frienda and invite thoae wbo will help clean no the thous and f juvwa of ti mhfT-"H aasr land and asaiat in making of -It the ag ricultural atate It ahould be.' Tbe Governor aava tbe atate does pot need the city man. subsisting on a daily wage, except aa be mav follow tbe in stitution ot the factory, tbe workshop or the business house. Tbe need of the atate ia active money and efficient effort. The colonist period tbia year ia from March 1 to April 15. The success of the colonist day last year waa most un expected. Nearly every commercial organization in tbe atate participated in tbia most uniaue advertising cam paign and aet aside its own special day for observing it. Tbe total number of pieces of mail that went East be cause of the special efforts went up into the millions. The school children and many social organizations volun teered their services in writing letters and mailing literature. Te result was probably the biggest abort time advertising campaign that apv atate baa known. The rumor ia current that tbe thriv ing town of New Pine Creek ia to have a newspaper in tbe near future. GEORGE C. TURNER RANCIUS SOLD Large Tract In Surprise Valley Will Be Colonized The Examiner ia informed that W. L. Turner last week sold the George C. Turner ranch in Surprise Valley, consisting of 1850 acres, including all of tha eauioinent and stock to parties from the southern part of California, Thia is probably the largest Individu al deal ever consummated in that vallev. W. L. Turner haa had considerable experience in colonising large tracts and it ia presumed tbia large tract will be segregated for that purpose. This is good news to the citizens of that vallev as some of tbe choicest lands of that aection are containedjn thia tract. George Turner doea not intend to leave Surprise vallev tut will devote bis time to his other interests and con tinue to promote the best interests of tbe valley, and he will probably en gage in some of the large deals that are rumored to be in progress. He ia well known in Lake eountv where be baa numerous frienda who congratulate him upon bia success and extend their best wishes for hia future undertak ings. , ANOTHER PIONEER TAKEN0FF LIST Edward A.

ATTEMPT HADE TO ' RECOVER HORSES Silver Lake Fugrutlve Be ing Held In Crescent City, California Unless Albert Fonzo makea bis escape from officers between Crescent Citv. Cal.. and Lakeview. Ore., it ia not unlikely that the neero ex-Iiverv man. of Silver Lake, will be brought before the Lake Countv Court. J. S. Wakefield left Tuesday to ac company the officers on their trio south for the negro. It is not known what charge will be brought against Fonzo. He and Wake-, field formerly were in partnership in the horse business, and when Fonzo took Vrench leave of Silver Lake it is said be forgot to leave behind hia partner's share of the stock. Wake field, it ia said, has been nursing the elusive shadow ever since Silver Lake Leader.
