Pine Grove Items.

Commissioner Wilson arrived Sun
day evening from Pine Grove. He
says the old reliable Wilson mine con-
times to yield the usual amount of
ore. There is also probability of a
big anthony mine soon being worked
in that vicinity.
Work is progressing steadily On the
-four mill
An expert from Arizona created a
futter of excitement by declaring that
he had found big tin mine near Pine
Grove. He was so positive about il
that Mr.. Wilson sent several lots oil
the ore abroad for analysis. Not a
trace Of tin was found. Mr.. Wilson is
about $50 loser and has no tin mine.

A CLOUD BURST.
a Miniature Deiuge-Damage
Caused by the Flood.

Last Friday heavy rain-storm Wis.
lted this section, and for several hours
rain descended in torrents.
AT the head of North CANYON there
was vertible cloud-burst and much
damage was done.
Those who were employed IN the
canyon at the time had close call for
their lives.
D. +. Hart lost about 1870 cords of
wood which was piled in the canyon.
he had barely time to save his horses.
He says that the water came down the
canyon with terrible roar, sweeping
huge boulders and trees before it like
chah. When he first saw the APP
preaching flood he was about quarter
of mile below it, and it seemed like
great bank of water 10 feet high, and
the width of the canyon. The noise
was deafenirg.
The cabins of Fnney Coan and
Charles Lawrence were swept away
Not stitch of clothing nor a stick of
furniture could be saved.
George Box lost new wagon. His
horses became frightened at the awful
noise and broke loose, leaving the
wagon in the canyon. At the first
dash the wagon was broken right in
two and pieces were scattered for
miles.
In town the streets were flooded, but
no great damage was done. The cellar
OF the Knapp & Laws Co, was filed
to depth of two feet and half, but
The goods were removed before much
damage was done.
About 80 feet of railroad track was
left standing in the air about Two
miles east of town. 1t was in the
main track of the cloud burst, and
some idea of the great volume of
water can be formed when it is known
that the water had Travelled for ~
miles over comparatively fiat country
after leaving the North Canyon, and
still the torrent was sufficient to under
mine the railroad track for distance
of 80 feet.
There was another washout between
the town and the lake, but 1t was re.
paired in a few hours, permitting
trains to pass with but small delay.
The railroad crew worked like beav-
ers, and several outsiders" stood in
and lent hand.
Washeuts were reported at Soda and
other points along the road, bu, no
serious damage nor delays occurred.

Last week in a certain town on the
G. 81 c., a Justice of the Peace closed
a marriage ceremony as follows: 81

and may God have mercy on your
souls."-[ Carson Appeal.
That must have been brother Nc
Intyre of Soda or Charley Howard of

not the Hawthorne dogberry.

FIGHTING FOR FRUIT.
An Energetic Crusade Neces-
sary AGAINST its Enem es,


sary AGAINST its Enem es.
A aieceni meeting of the Directors
of the State Board of Trade he i'm
portance of "a constant and determined
fight against fruit pests was discussed,
and it was ordered that public atten-
ton be called to the subject. 1t was
stated that it had become impossible To
obtain decent apple at Ogden and
that it would soon be as bad at Honey
Lake. Different valleys in Nevada are
beginning TO be troubled, and il will
require n constant and bitter study to
keep out the destroyers. Farmers aud
others should not set out any more
trees than they cvn attend to properly,
for they will not only breed pests
which will ruin their own orchards,
but those of their neighhors. Some
legislation on this subject may become
necessary, rs it has become in other
States.
The Agricultural Experiment Sta
ton is ready to and our fruit growers
all they can, and department is
maintained under the charge of Pro-
tessor Hillman, who has already issued
several valuable bulletins ON these
matters.
Insect pests can be controlled by
modern methods and appliances, aud
If timely information is sent to the
Station relative to the appearance,
marked financial profits may result to
fruit growers and to farmers.
One of the problems in the manage
ment of this department is how to or
ganze force for securing information
promptly. 1t is felt that teachers and
scholars in rural districts could make
themselves extremely useful to the
community by taking part in this
movement Let the children be en-
couraged to collect and submit to their
teachers specimens of new and strange
forms Of insect life, and let the teach
ers devote an hour or two of school
time, now and then, to explaining the
life habits of insects which may
threaten TO cause,trouble in any neigh
borhood
The entomologist of this station will
mail to teachers detailed and compre-
hensive descriptions of the various
stages of development of any speci-
mems received here, and in cases of
need he will, if possible, visit the To-
calltles, address schools and demon
strate by field work the course to be
pursued in combating any dangerous
pest.
Directions for sending insect pests
are as follows Insects should be sent
by mail in close, strong boxes--tin or
wood. A little cotton with the insect
will prevent injury. In case larvae,
caterpillars or grubs are sent, some of
their food plants should be enclosed
with them. Any information regard
ing insects sent will be gratefully re-
ceived and may prove very valuable !;
state where found, damage done, and
any other facts.

Pyramid Reservation,

The following extract Is from letter
to H. NJ. Yerington from Senator
Stewart:
"A Commission is to visit Nevada
for the purpose of limiting the Pyra-
mid Lake Indian Reservation so as to
exclude some 10 or - miles of the
southern portion of The Reservation
which includes Wadsworth and con-
siderable farming land. | have made
application to the Commission to con
slider the propriety of limiting Walker
Lake Reservation by cutting off the
southern portion thereof. think this
is quite important. The Indians have
no use for the lake except the northern
part of it. The mountains on either
side are barren and unfit for cultiva-
ton. The Indians do not occupy
them and they ought to be thrown
open to prospectors and miners"

A Srabbed Fat Man,

The moral of this is that a fat man
upon sleeping car should carry chart
and be sure OF his berth before he pre-
pares to occupy it. He came down the
aisle and sat ubon the edge of a berth.
Let the Chicago Herald tell what hap
pened:
He sat there for a couple of minutes
fixing his things. and then rising up
seated himself more firmly and began to
loosen his shirt collar. As have said,
be was fat, and he pushed the curtains
quite distance back into the ladies'
berth as he sat there swaying with the
motion OF the train, eudeayoring 20 un-
fatSen a refractory button.
l heard whispers and a suppressed
giggle from the berth, and the next
moment my fat friend jumped about
four feet in the air with a veil like a
Comanche Indian. I'm stabbed. I'm
stabbed" he howled, prancing around.
Somebody stuck a knife into me
through the curtain
[ heard her suppressed giggle from
lower six, jingle OF the electric bell,
and the porter came hustling in. Ny
fat acquaintance still insisted that he
had been stabbed, and rubbed the part
of his anatomy where he said the
wound lay most generously. The por-
ter went to answer the bell in lower six
and from the closed curtains came in
very decided feminine tones: ''If there
are any more big beasts in this car who
attempt 10 sit on me they'll get iabbed
with something worse than hat-pin.
You tell them so, porter"

Irish Reform.

DUBLIN, july 13.-The Parnellite press
is exceedingly downcast over the Car
low election. The Freeman's Journal
says that there is now no more chance
of getting home rule for ireland than
there ia of getting the moon. The elect
ors. the Journal adds, have abandoned
their independence for the British party
yoke.
The conservative Dublin Express says
that the English will learn from Car
low that the Irish tenant farmer, when
not actuated By insane land hunger, is
a puupet in the hands of Roman CathO-
lie priests, and as unfit TO be an elector
as il be wers an infant or lunatic."
The National Press, the McCarthyite
organ, naturally is jubilant and says
The Carlow men have dealt the death
blow to the faction OF Mr.. Parneil,
from which there is no longer any peril
II Is merely temporary nuisance. The
tor has been rebuked.'
The London Times warns the country
that the collapse of Parnell means the
domination Of the Irish priests, who
have always hated. the national move
ment and that therefore the Mccarthy
ties case is little better than Parnell's
Whoever" says the Times, become:
