Jas. Nichol, of Mason Valley, is tire own
cr of the finest Cleveland Bay stallion that
ever came into this State, probably. the
animal is three years old and is as perfectly
built as horse can be. He was on exhibit
lIon at the Lyon County Fair and was much
admired by all lovers Of horse flesh. MIR,
Nichol purchased him year ago, and paid
in the neighborhood OF $4,000 for him.
These are the kind of horses that should be
raised in Mason Valley now. The ranchers
and slockmen have plenty of fine draft stock
already but person desirous Of purchasing
span of roadsterS wouli have hard time
10 get them in the Valley. MIR. NIchol UNI
derstanls this and is dong all he can to in
troduce a breed of horses IN the Valley that
will bring money. A team of such animals
as his Cleveland Bay could be driven into
any large town and sold for what the owner
might ak for them. 1t Will be but a few
years now before those who desire TO pur.
chase any KIND of horse can 90 to Mason
Valley and get just whlr they want.

An eminent English veterinary surgeon
says that horse weighing 1000 pound,
lhrowS 1917 pounds more weight on his
fore legs tnan on his hind ones, the total
weight OF both being 900 pounds, or 800
pounds each. This shows the necessity OF
,lrong limbs and feet, especially of the fore
ones, and that the greatest care ought to be
had OF these TO keep them from being injured +;
Tor, without good feet and legs, the value OF
the horse is worthless for hard Or quite fast
work, and is much lessened even when the
work is slow and easy. They are often in
Jured from ignorance and carclessness, and
it should be the first duty of horseman to
learn how to use AMI treat the legs and feeI
of his ANIMALS properly.

Independent Candidate for District
Attorney.


To my friends, irrespective OF Parties, !
hereby announce myself an independent
candidate for the Office of District Attorney,
of Lyon County, Nevada, subject to the dc
cision at the polls, and propose to stand
upon the following platform, which was
adopted by the overwhelming majorily OF
ONE.
am utterly opposed to "Trusts," that is,
mistrusts in political affairs by men in high
places.
believe Lyon County has citizens who
are interested in her welfare, who are cap.
able Of managing her affair. without the aid
Of Carpet baggers."
III.
All criminals should be punished, but no
person should be prosecuted under color oi
law.
| believe District Attorney sould re-
ceive no assistance to be paid for out of the
county's fund.
AS Superintendent, Of Schools the District
Attorney should take great interest, and
look with Jealous care TO the wants of The
little ones. If elected this proPo,e 10 do,
yes, and look out for the school mans too,
Tor
Ills education forms the common mind
Just as The twig is bent, the trees lnclined.' y
To prove that education shall I've attended
90 faithfully, if elected, | viii donate SIS
per month to the Public School fund of said
county.
l do no, believe in pledges to the public,
unless for the public good, therefore, if
elected, pledge myself never to cost Lyon
County one cent for outside help or advice,
and will give bonds to that effect.
therefore, | ask every tax payer to con.
slider the above, and every parent or guar
dian to give me their support.
Very truly your fellow citizen

evening. The courtroom was well filled
with people, over half OF whom were Repub-

tariff ques ion, the cause Of the Mint being
shut up, why sheep men could not get
within tea cents as much for their wool now
as before Cleveland was elected, and numer.
Gus o,hrr things. George fooled them. H
dill not make any convincing explanations
and there was bnt very iittle enthusiasm at
the meeting, although anvils were fired,

band rendered its finest music.
