More ProatabIo Than wheat.

Lovelock New Era: Two carloads
OF hogs have been received at Love-
lock during the week. The first con-
signment was from Saltwater to w. c..
Pitt, the gross weight OF the animals
being seven tons. Later in the week
Hi Stoker received 141 head from w.
I. Smith, Elkp.
This is the beginning Of q change
from the methods OF farming hereto
fore in vogue on the Big Meadows.
Little attention has been paid TO any
thing other than hay and wheat, and
that hay and wheat were disposed Of
at the ruling market price. BY the in
PRODUCTION Of swine, to be fattened on
the wheat stubble and residium OF as
sorted potatoes, Lovelock makes her
debut as a producer Of something
than mere hay and grain. Wheat is
selling for SIS to $40 SO ton and bacon
and hams from lac to zoe. per pound.
Wheat in pork is, therefore, more valu-
able than wheat in Calcutta sacks,
Likewise, would hay be more profitable
fed to mich cow and sold as cheese
and butter from a creamery than fed
from the stack at 81 so per ton. Even
wheat fed to chickens will bring much
better return than if sold for ship
ment.
Every month, even the small popu-
lation Nevada contains today, sees the
importing Of thousands OF dollars
worth Of ham and bacon, all of which
might be kept at home if the proper
spirit Of enterprise pervaded our
homes.
But let us hope that this invoice will
do much toward convincing the farm
ers OF this section of the profit in rails
ing and fattening swine and selling the
cured product.

The Ferris wheel.

A Chicago dispatch says the Ferris
Wheel proved to be a bonanza to its
owners. Just 1.453,5l1 persons paid
to ride around its immense circum-
ference during the four months Of its
operations, so Secretary Vincent re-
ported to the meeting OF stockholders.
The receipts, at so cents each ride,
amounted to $726,SO so. After pay
ing off $500, 600 OF bonds the company
divided 1926, S05 so with the Exposi-
ton, and, after paying its operating
expenses, had over $4,000 left, the
principal part OF which was divided
among the stockholders. No action
was taken about the removal of the
wheel. Offers Of purchase were made
by syndicates from Coney Island, New
York and London, and a request a
made by the Antwerp Exposition for
its removal and operation there next
summer. None of the bids were con-
sidered satisfactory, and for the pre-
sent the wheel will remain in Chicago.

buried wnhout ceremony.

The burial OF the three young men
killed in Sundays railroad accident,
without any ceremony Or mark OF re-
spect to either the living or the dead,
is exciting considerable adverse criti-
cism and is a stain upon our hereto
fore fair name that will require a good
many kind deeds to blot out. They
were tramps, to be sure, but at the
same time they were human beings
and as dear to their families al any OF
of our boys are dear to us, and the
carting away and dumping them in
the potters' field without any cere-
mony whatever is a burning disgrace,
and the Gazette hopes it will never
occur again. 1t would have been an
easy matter to have invited some
clergyman to have offered a prayer
and given notice Of the time of burial,
SO If any n had desired they could
have attended if nothing more.-Reno

l have been hearing Of smart men
all my life, but | never knew one. 0c-
casionally | find one who promises to
be smart, but he finally does some
thing to convince me that he is a fool
like the rest OF US. Every little while
a young mar is pointed out to me who
is said to be very promising, and 1
watch him, hoping to know a smart
man, but then he drifts into the ways
Of his father and makes the mistakes
common TO other men. l don't believe
it was ever intended that there should
be any smart men. The men who &C.
cupy the distinguished positions are
found on examination TO be exactly
like other men. When they are play
ing seven up they stand when they
should have begged; they marry the
wrong women and make investments
that they should not have made. As
soon as a great nan loses his great po-
sition he becomes a town %loafer, unless
he hides at home. II there are any
smart men they have kept out of my
way.-Parson Irvine, in the Atchison
Globe.

Hebrews, l3.S.

A minister in a small town OF Kan
sas was a boarder at the only restau-
rant Of the place. The fare, as is quite
common was exceedingly monotonous,
consisting chiefly Of hash three times
a day. The preacher became wearied
of it and one day when the waitress
set the dish by his plate, he looked al
the hash and then at her and said,
Hebrews, 13-S." She asked HIM what
he meant. He replied that he did not
like to say. but wished her to look up
the reference. They procured a bible,
turned to the place mentioned and
read Jesus Christ. the same yester-
day and to-day and forever"

wIsHoUT AUTHORITY OF LAW.

A decision OF far-reaching conse-
quences to White Pine county was
made by Judge Talbot last Wednesday
in the cause Of w. L. Davis vs.. VIM.
Hayes. We have not at present time
to set forth the matter at length. The
main points, however, are The Board
OF County Commissioners Of this
county have for years met monthly
and transacted routine business, among
other things passing on bills and au-
thorizing the issue OF county warrants.
The Court holds, andth Law is plain on
the matter, that there a only be four
regular meetings annually to wit, on
the first Monday in January, April,
July and October, and that any other
meetings Of the Board, to be legal,
must be by adjournment from a reg
ular meeting to a given date. Unless
this is done and the minutes show it,
the Board cannot meet again in reg.
ular session until the meeting day OF
the next quarter. They may, however,
hold special meetings at any
time by giving five days notice by ad-
v%ertisement in a newspaper. This is
the substance Of Judge Talbot's de-
cision.
The minutes OF our Board OF Com
m%issioners show that they did not ad-
journ at their quarterly meetings to
any giving date. This makes all their
proceedings at eight monthly meetings
each year null and void, the business
at their meetings in January, Apr,
July and October only valid and reg
ular. OF course the Board erred
through want OF knowledge and
honestly believed they were acting &C.
cording to law in holding Irregular
monthly meetings" The decision is
likely to complicate matters of great
interest to our county, and auditing
and fiscal officers Of the county and
their bondsmen are in a very insecure
position NV. p. News.

Nepotism at Washington.

The public service is becoming
largely a family affair. This is what
a special Congressional investigating
committee finds. OF 1889 employees
in the departments at Washington, no
less han 5,6l0 have relatives at the
same time drawing Government sala-
ries. Five officials have each s relatives
in the service with themselves, twenty
six have five each, ninety-six
have four each, 269 have three each,
and 80 on. Many cases are given
where nearly entire families, parents
with brothers and sisters. are holding
well-paid places. The spoilsmen are
seizing upon these facts as telling
against reform. They rather tell in
the other direction. Springfield Re-
publican.

A Fatal Accident.

Last Tuesday Hugh Mcnamara
left Taft's ranch in this county, for his
home at Halleck, Elko county. He
was accompanied by his eldest son. on
horseback, while the father drove the
team. The morning was chilly, and Mr.
Macnamara's feet becoming cold, he
got out OF the wagon and ran alongside
OF it for the purpose OF getting them
warm, and while doing so his son rode
up on gallop and started the team to
running, when Mr.. Mcnamara ran up
to the wagon for the purpose OF getting
hold Of the reins, and was struck
by one OF the front wheels OF the wagon
and knocked down, the wagon running
over him and breaking his right leg
and otherwise bruising him badly. He
survived his injuries until O'Clock the
next morning when death relieved him
of his suffering. AS soon as the news
of the accident reached here a team
was sent out to bring him to town for
surgical treatment, but when the team
arrived at the scene Of the accident 1t
was found that Mr.. Mcnamara had
been dead for several hours. He
a wife, three Sons and a daughter to
mourn his loss. His remains were
brought to this place on Wednesday
and inferred yesterday.
Deceased had been an old resident oil

the Piutes formerly burned their dead,
the Wadsworth Dispatch interviewed
Johnson Sides on the subject. He
saws that the Indians never burned
their dead, but always buried them
and destroyed all traces of the grave,
SO that the spirit couldn't find the
place to haunt it. If the buck had
horses enough one OF them was killed
and skined and the body wrapped in
the horse skin and buried.
