Chopping of the cone-bearing limbs from the pinon pine trees Is certain to kill the tree or reduce its nut producing capacity, officials said, Pine nuts coming from the single leaf pinon trees are said to be the largest of any grown. The cones can be reached by use of ladders, the rangers pointed out.

"The forest service does not desire to interfere with the utilization of the pine nut crop. If damage to the trees does not stop, however, it will 1 prohibit, gathering bf pine nuts," Forest Supervisor C. J. Olsen said. Large fires are occasionally built by pine nut hunters to dry the cones and burn the gum, according to Olsen.

He warned all hunters to extinguish their camp fires as several have been left unattended. THREE ACCIDENTS REPORTED TO FF Three automobile accidents, all of which occurred on the Reno-Carson highway in Washoe valley, were reported to the sheriff's office over the week-end. No one was injured in- the crashes. Robert S. Crltchley of 676 Ralston street, reported that his car struck fthe rear end of a machine bearing a California license when he was driving near Lakeview hill yesterday afternoon.

The Critchley car was badly damaged and the gas tank, tier shield and tire rack on the California car were bent and twisted. R. L. Neil, 727 '2 East Sixth street, and W. Walker of 4 Court Place, both reported their cars had struck cows in Washoe valley.

Walker reported that he was driving about two miles east of. Washoe station at an early hour today and was unable 6 see the cow because of darkness and a snow storm. The animal was killed and the front of Walker's car -was damaged. He reported he was unable to read the brand to identify the owner of the cow. Neil reported his car struck a cow near the Sauer ranch in Washoe valley last evening.

The report did not state whether the animal was killed or the extent of damages to Neil's car. Spanish moss is a pineapple. relative of the HER IN RENO Falling to rally from an operation. Fred Grob, widely-known resident of western Nevada and former assistant cashier of the Farmers and Merchants Bank in Reno, died yesterday in San Francisco. He was sixty-eight years old.

After being connected with Richard Kirman and Walter Harris in the Farmers and Merchants Bank, Grob left for Fallon in 1912 where he engaged in the grocery business. He was one of the founders of the Bank of Fallon which was later consolidated into the Churchill County Bank by George Wingfield. Serving as office manager for the I. H. Kent Company in Fallon, he joined the Nevada Contracting Company and was secretary and treasurer of the concern at the time of his death.

Prominent in Masonic circles, he was a member of the Scottish Rite Masons, St. John's chapter of the Lahontan Commandery, Fallon Masons, and the Myrtle chapter of the Order of Eastern Star in Fallon. He was born in Virginia City and received his early schooling on tWfc Comstock. Coming to Reno as a young man, he opened a butcher shop which he operated for several years before entering the banking business. Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at two o'clock at the home chapel of Ross-Burke Company under the direction of Reno Lodge No.

MANUTTEND DAY SERVICES Friends and relatives who came to attend funeral services last week for Melvin E. Day, well known Sparks resident, have returned to their homes in California. Sacramento residents who attended the services Included Messrs. and Mesdames Neil R. McAllister, W.

COME IN! See and hear the latest 1935 PHILCOS ax Uliv ill V- the bill. Wednesday's meeting will feature the appearance here of Assistant Secretary of the Interior Oscar L. Chapman, who will be in Reno to get Nevada's views and recommendations on federal administration of the public domain under the "terms of the bill. The meetings will be held in the Washoe county library building. State Engineer George W.

Malone, who wrote the McCarran amendment to the bill which is designed to preserve the "unit earning power" of livestock plants as a basis for ranch loans, Issued a statement today urging all interested Nevadans and livestock men in particular, to attend the conferences. Pointing out that proper administration of tae public lands has been an objective of Ifevada officials for many years, Malone said: "If this bill is properly administered it will mean the culmination of twenty years of work. If it provides stability in the matter of federal land bank loans, it will give a new lease on life to Nevada livestock men. One important thing Nevadans should work for is the appointment of a Nevada man to administer the Taylor bill in this state. Our situation is not like the situation in some other public land states, and it is important that a person familiar with Nevada be named." Malone said he expected to attend Wednesday's meeting but that he will be unable to be present tomorrow.

The Taylor bill transferred control of the public domain from the states to the department of the interior. It ha3 been regarded as a highly im portant bit of legislation in Nevada because of the expansive acreage of public lands in this state which is used for grazing purposes by cattle growers. The McCarran amendment to the bill provides that that part of the public domain used by ranchers by right of customary use shall be considered as a part of the assets or "unit earning power" of livestock plants when federal loans are made. The right of individual ranchers to use of certain parcels of public domain Is protected by law in this state. BY STORM Hunters, trapped by heavy snows which swept the Sierra Nevada mountains last night, were marooned in the vicinity of Steamboat bluff north of Rubicon springs in the Tahoe dis trict today, and no word had been received the rescue party which left Chambers' lodge to carry food to the stranded party which included nine men, all from Newman, Cal.

The rescue party was headed by David Chambers, proprietor of the lodge. Food and blankets were loaded on a dog team as the rescuers pre- pared to trudge the twenty-five miles in rugged mountain country. George Colwell of Placerville, formerly a Tahoe guide, led the party into the hils. How the hunters, who were seeking deer, became marooned could not be learned. At Tahoe City it was stated that they had gone into the mountains on 'Friday, carrying provisions enough for a two-day hunt.

Trappers believed that the storm came up suddenly late Saturday night and was so heavy that the men decided to wait for a rescue party rather than risk a journey through deep snow in a strange territory. Four Reno men were trapped in the snow when their car was caught in a drift high in- the mountains Sunday. The four, Frank Leonard, his son Leslie, James Archibald and Henry Ducker, were on a fishing trip and like the members of the hunting party, they had been taken unawares by the sudden storm. Colwell found the four and led them in to Chambers lodge early last night. They were nearly exhausted and were suffering from the intense cold.

Duckef. it was reported, had been unconscious from cold and exhaustion for four hours when he was brought to the lodge. He was revived later, however. The party was taken to Tahoe City to wait for the train. Wells Engineer Goes to Hospital J.

H. Wardleigh, railroad engineer of Wells, left here last night for San Francisco, where he will receive medical observation at the Pacific Company hospital. He visited nis daughter, Mrs. J. R.

Jackson, en route from Lovelock where he attended the Knights of Pythias grand lodge sessions last week. Wardleigh is past grand chancellor of the order. Filipelli Rites Held at Cathedral Funeral services for John P. Fell-pelll were held today with a large number of friends attending. Rites were held from the Ross-Burke Company parlors commencing at 9:30 a.

thence to St. Thomas Aquinas cathedral, where a solemn high mass was celebrated at ten o'clock. Interment was in the Mountain View cemetery. Recitation of the rosary took place last evening at the Ross-Burke chapel. Mrs.

Jumbara, son of a late prominent Siamese Danker, were married in Ogden, Utah, September 17. thev Bald today- Juirbara studied accounting at a business college in Trenton. N.

i SIERRA NEVADA tTINv JKM 8 (vX Peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains were mantled in white hoday as a heavy storm, the first of the season, continued to sweep Inland from the 'coast, carrying snow and rain eastward over the plateau. Bringing relief to ranchers and stockmen suffering from prolonged drought, the storm covered a wide area. Hunters, not prepared for adverse weather were marooned In the high Sierra, while death of a CCC workerMn Idaho was attributed to a heavy wind which accompanied the storm. Central and northern Nevada ranges received a thorough drenching when a two-day storm swept across the state and left nearly three inches of snow on the ground in the vicinity of Ely, Eureka and Austin as well as in the Ruby mountains of Elko county. A heavy wind Saturday night was llowed by a downpour of rain and sleet which left large puddles of water on the parched ranges of central Nevada.

The rain changed to snow last evening and made traveling on the highway difficult In the Ely district. It began to snow at 4:00 a. m. today at Ely and when the sun broke through the" clouds at nine o'clock surrounding mountains were white and nearly three inches of snow was-on the ground. It melted rapidly, however, on the highways and in exposed places.

In Winnemucca, hopes of stock growers revived when eighteen hundredths of an inch' of moisture was reported this morning. Hills were white around Winnemucca this morning while between Reno and Fernley heavy rains fell yesterday. Fallon received only a light shower, while the weather was described as the coldest of the season, no frosts damaged plants last night. The storm Saturday night left a light blanset of snow near Olinghouse and on the hills in the Pyramid lake vicinity. A blanket of snow eleven inches in depth was mr osured at the summit of the Sierras this morning, weather observers reported.

The storm began with hep.vy winds as early as Friday, while snow commenced to fall Saturday night. Moisture content measured at 8:00 a. today was 1.41 inches. Snow was still falling there this afternoon. At Truckee the weather was described as being damp and cool.

Only one inch of moisture was measured from the four inches of snow fall received yesterday. Today's fall was one and one-half Inches. Temperatures fell below freezing last' night and were not much hlgter this afternoon. The storm Saturday night carried largely snow and hail, while the real snow fall did not occur until 6:00 a. m.

yesterday. Weather was unsetled at Tahoe City this afternoon. An eight-inch snow fall occurring yesterday brought sixty- FAYE LEWIS WINS STATE 4-H PRIZE Miss Faye Lewis of Elko county, won a trip to Chicago when she was adjudged winner of the style dress revue in a statewide 4-H Club competition held at the University of Nevada last Saturday.

Buy a Package See for Yourself Manufactured from the Finest Materials by SOAP RENO WINNEMUCCA, Sept. 24. (Special) Whether the next Republican state organization will be controlled by the old guard of the party or be taken over by those who demand a new deal in party affairs is expected to be the real issue that will be determined in the Republican state convention which will be held here tomorrow. This is the current talk amcng the scattering delegates who are arriving here this afternoon. By this evening the greater part of the delegates are expected to be on especially those who always make it a point to be early on the ground in order to confer with their fellow delegates from other counties.

So far John R. Ross, district attorney of Lyon county, is the only open and active candidate for the state chairmanship. Ross announced his candidacy several weeks ago and his friends claim that he has already secured enough pledges of support to give him a commanding position at the outset. Others who have been mentioned are L. D.

Summerfield of Reno and E. T. Clyde or Ormsby. It was reported here this afternoon that Clark county might also bring for-. ward a candidate.

Ross and Clyde have never been allied with the old Republican machine. Noble Getchell, Republican state chairman for several years, is expected to call the convention to order, after which, if it follows the usual custom, it will elect a temporary chairman to preside over its deliberations until a permanent state chairman is elected. Following the election of a state chairman, which may provoke a contest, a new state central committee and an executive committee will be chosen. Statements published yesterday, quoting George Wingfield to the effect that he had given no thought to re- signing as Republican national com mitteeman, oaused considerable comment among the delegates who have already arrived here. The old guard of the party takes the position that Wingfield, having been chosen two years ago to serve a four-year term, should continue in office until his full term expires.

Other expressions from those dissatisfied with the old guard's control of the party, are Including the opinion that in the Interest of party harmony and success a complete new organization should be effected from the national committeeman down. Owing to the resignation some months ago of Mrs. Mary Franzman, Republican national committeewoman from Nevada, a new member of the woman's national committee will be elected to fill the vacancy. Comment to the effect that more than one vice chairman of the party should be chosen, is being heard. If more than one is chosen, the additional vice chairmen will be selected from different portions of the state.

In the event the business of the convention is disposed of in time the state candidates of the party will be called upon for addresses. It is expected that those called be George W. Malone. canmrfot- the United States senate, Morley Grls- wold, candidate for governor, and' others. The Washoe county delegates to the Republican state convention, at a caucus held in Reno this morning, authorized the Washoe delegates attending the Winnemucca convention to adopt the unit rule of voting.

Under this rule the vote of the entire Washoe county delegation will be cast in the convention as a majority of the delegates may decide. A majority of the Washoe county delegates are opposed to toe old Republican state organization. McKinley Plans Crad Party Commltees for the McKinley Park Parent Teachers' Association are making extensive preparation's for the card party to be held Friday evening in the school auditorium. The affair will be public in nature and a large crowd is expected to attend. The committee Includes: Mrs.

Robert Far-rar chairman, Mesdames C. Uecker, C. E. Fleming, Fred Phillips, F. E.

West-over, A. Binkley, H. G. Hudgens, F. E.

Horton and M. L. Haltlc and Miss Feretto. THIRD a ROBINS CONSIDERED FOR BY ELY, Sept. 24 (Special) On the eve of the Democratic convention, pending a caucus of the various delegations which are slowly arriving here the selection of a Democratic state chairman appears to lie between Roy W.

Stoddard of Reno and Cliff Robins of Winnemucca, with Vail Pittman of Ely as a possible compromise in case of deadlock. Harley Harmon of Clark county is definitely out of the state chairmanship race, he indicated this morning, asserting at the same time that he had never been an active candidate for it. John A. Cooper of Reno backed by the labor club contingent of the Washoe delegation may become a prominent figure in the contest but none of the other delegations appear to consider him as a strong contender. The White Pine delegation at a recent meeting endorsed Vail Pittman for state chairman and M.

J. Clark of Ely for state secretary. Clark was one of Kirman's chief supporters In White Pine county in the. primary contest. Senator Pittman will not attend the convention as he is speaking at the meeting of the Western mining congress in San Francisco.

He has not indicated so far as known, whom he favors as state chairman and apparently has not instructed representatives at the convention. Congressman James G. Scrugham will probably be the keynote speaker when the convention opens and John Robbins of Elko will possibly be the temporary chairman. William Mc-Knight retiring state chairman arrived here yesterday and. will call the convention to order.

Out of the two hundred and fifty convention delegates about one hundred and forty will be "present in person, hotel reservations indicate. The old Northern hotel closed for two years was reopened by Ole Elliott to accommodate the overflow from the Nevada hotel. The convention activities start with a public banquet tonight sponsored by White Pine Democrats" Alfred Tamlyn and M. J. Clark will preside jointly at the gathering.

There are approximately hun-odred and forty delegates entitled to seats in the convention and it was indicated today that practically -all of them would be present either In person or by proxy. Washoe's delegation of seventy-five is the largest in the convention. The election of Ed Clark as Democratic national committeeman appeared assured today and his name will probably be the only one placed before the convention for this position. Clark has indicated he wants to retain the position and the Clark county delegation is solidly behind him but is divided on the naming of a state chairman. Kirman has indicated he will pay close attention to the party platform with a view to keeping it as far as possible in accord, with his own Ideas on state affairs.

He is particularly interested in planks on Boulder Dam development, education, adequate highway work, rehabilitation of the mining, livestock and farming industries and keeping the state in position to cooperate with the national administration in all phases of its widespread rehabilitation program. Liquor and gambling questions will not be injected Into the convention at all, according to present indications, as candidates and delegates assert that the people of the nation settled the liquor question not so long ago while the people of Nevada will probably have an opportunity to vote on the controversal gambling question at the general election in 1936. Features Added For Sparks Show A "fun" house and a picture show for children will be added features when the Parent-Teacher groups of Sparks stage their annual Jack's Carnival next Friday night it was an nounced today. The study hall upstairs in the high school building will be used for the show, which will feature comedies and western thrillers. The "fun" house will be a surprise feature.

In charge of this attraction are: Kenneth Ball, C. E. Mitchell, Gerald Corron, Herbert Bailey, and Messrs and Mesdames James Rice, Waldo Hastings and Carl Shelley. Mrs. SheUey, Dwight Dilts and George Dilworth will direct the picture show.
