Peterson of Carson. Grand Chaplain M. J. Hersey of Carson, Grand Bible Bearer C. P.

Hoskins, Grand Historian C. W. Torrence of East Ely and by past masters and officers of Ely lodge No. 29, F. and A.

M. In a brief speech Scrugham told of the significance of the new building, stating that it marked another achievement for Nevada. Other speakers were Mayor J. H. Gallagher, District Judge James M.

Lockhart and Vail Pittman, president of the Ely Chamber of Commerce. Construction of the building was started in June after a series of delays during the past five years. In 1933 an allocation of $45,000 was made by the public works administration for the building, this later being increased to $90,000. In 1933 with the repeal of the state law giving the United States government Jurisdiction over lands purchased by the government in Nevada, the government refused to construct the post office until such time as it was given complete jurisdiction over the land purchased for the same in Ely. An act passed by the 1935 Nevada legislature failed to meet with the demands of the government and after another delay of two years a bill was passed by the 1937 legislature after it had first been approved by the federal government.

Contract for the building was awarded to E. and E. J. Pfotzer in April for $65,800. d0 WINNEMUCCA, July 8.

The survey, which was started Tuesday, is a part of the soil conservation program and is being paid for by the federal government, according to Paul Maloney, agricultural extension agent with headquarters in Winnemucca, who has charge of the survey. Heading the survey part is Al Lowry, athletic coach of the Humboldt county high school, and with him are Henry Wells and Albert Pasquale. Instructions for the work, which Maloney says will take about two months, were given by John Franklin, district engineer for Humboldt, Pershing and Elko counties.

The Moores were resi way and those coming over Hinckey summit from week end fishing trips Monday night could see the light of the fire for many miles. Holbert had been at the Paradise Hill station, owned by Mr. and Mrs. George Gove Monday on his customary daily visit and hadJeft about two o'clock for the six mile horseback ride back to the ranch, Mrs. Gove said.

When, about six o'clock, the Goves sighted the flames, Gove and Jack Conley, San Francisco aviator who is visiting them set out in the Gove car to help fight the fire. Soon car lights from ranches up and down the valley could be seen convergning on the doomed ranch headquarters as neighbors hurried to give aid. Few of the ranches in the valley have telephones and it was only by catching sight of the flames that ranchers were warned of the fire. Neighbors are in the habit of looking across intervening miles of sagebrush to the ranch hcwse of evenings because Holbert, who lives there alone, is not well, and it had been agreed that he would hang a lantern each night on the west porch for Goves and one on the other side for the Millers, neighboring ranchers, as signals that he was all right. One night last winter the light was not visible and Mr.

and Mrs. Gove closed the station early to drive the six desert miles to the ranch to see what was the matter. Entering the house, they found the aged owner sprawled at the table where" he "had "fallen asleep 'after eating his supper. dents of this city for many years before moving to Winnemucca last son of Berkeley are guests at the county last year, forty-one took ad-.

'A 1 ft Wf I I vantage of the soil conservation program, Maloney said yesterday, and it is thought that a larger number will comply with the provisions of the'program this year. There are fewer ranches in the county this year, consolidations here and there bringing the number flown to ninety-eight, it was said. Ranchers complying last year received $10,000 from the federal government. The program provides for diversion of fields from crops that deplete the soil, such as grain crops, to those that build up the soil, such as alfalfa meadow hay. Payment for making the change ranges from' $2.50 to $7.40 an acre," Maloney stated.
