TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Magic Words that Will Increase
the Order to 100000 Members.


The $4,000 prize offered by the SUI
preme Lodge to any Jurisdiction
that will secure an increase in new
members of rs per cent between
June 1, 1897, and June /, 1893, is prov
ing to be great stimulator of activ-
ity. The net result seems likely to
be large increase in new members
in all Jurisdictions. 1t IS safe to say
that the A. Q. u. w. will be made
known to more people during the
coming year than ever before. The
Grand Officers are also awakening
to the necessity of stopping suspen-
sions. This is as it should be. A
little Brotherly interest will often
save members to the Order. The
more Brotherly interest there is man
ifested the more desirable it makes
it. The Jurisdiction of Washington
has entered the race to win and from
the Washington Workman we
learn that the officers have formu-
lated the following plan:
cat the recent session of the ST.
preme Lodge the following resolu-
ton was adopted:
Resolved, That any Jurisdiction
which shall make net increase of
new members from June 1, 1897, to
June 1, 1898, of rs per cent shall re-
ceive from the Supreme Lodge the
sum of $4,000, providing that no Jur-
isdiction shall be entitled to receive
said sum unless the net increase
shall exceed 1000 new members
The Grand Master Workman and
Finance Committee of the Jurisdic-
ton OF Washington have decided
upon the following plan of distribu-
ton, provided we succeed in secur-
ing the required number to obtain
the prize:
"The Lodge securing the largest
number of new members, excluding
Nos. and 6, from June 1, 1897, to
June I, 1898, $1,000; Lodge securing
second highest, SIS; Lodge securing
third highest, $50; Lodge securing
fourth highest, $25;
Any Lodge making an increase of
rs per cent duriug this period will
receive prize of fifteen dollars.
Of Columbia No. 2, and Tacoma
No. 6, the one having the largest in
crease will receive an altar emblem
or other prize to be worth not less
than one hundred dollars. The Sec
ond in increase, provided the gain is
commensurate with its original
membership, will receive prize to
be worth not less than fifty dollars.
In order to secure these prizes the
Jurisdiction at large must increase
rs per cent, or total gain of about
1900 members, an end which may be
easily secured if the Lodges will put
forth their best energies. "A. O. u.

Cabbage Lice "A Prentive Measure.
NEWSPAPER BULLETIN NO. Is.

WAEAHWECs
NEWSPAPER BULLETIN NO ISL
During the present season cab
bages throughout the Truckee val
ley have been very seriously injured
by plant lice, one species of which
infests cabbages and allied plants
very generally throughout the
United States.
Several other insects, also, prey
upon the cabbage of this locality,
but none seem to do the crop such
permanent injury as she lice. These
appear very early in the season and
owing to their very rapid multipli-
cation they are able to keep all but
the strongest plants nearly covered
by them throughout the season.
The result is the plants are stunted,
the leaves curl and finally wither.
The youngest and tenderest leaves
are usually worst affected, often
wholly preventing the formation of
the head
It is too late in the season to at
tempt any we'll defined efforts to-
wards the benefit of the present
crop. Such course will be out
lined at the beginning of another
season when the need of such in
formation will make it more accept
able and useful than if given now.
The purpose of the present bull
letin, however, is to call the atten-
tion of those interested to the i'm
portance of removing from the field
at the close of the present season
every trace of cabbage whether it
be leaf, head or root. Many of the
lice will live over Winter if they
can find bit of cabbage plant up
on which to subsist. They are then
ready for the first young plants set
in the Spring,
If the same ground is to be reset
a following year such course is
most important. Ifadiacent ground
is to be used it is still important
because many of the lice have
wings, permitting their spread to
adjoining fields at least 1t is due
to this fact that we are not to ex-
pect to wholly prevent the attack
Of the future crop by the insects.
Yet such course cannot fail to be
of great benefit, particularly in de-
laying the appearance of the pest
the following year, until the plants
have become sufficiently strong to
resist them.
Furthermore, it is not always
sufficient to remove refuse cabbage
alone. These insects, while pests
of the cabbage preferably, yet feed
also upon its near allies, cauliflower,
rutabaga, turnip and radish, also
upon yellow or field mustard, a
common weed everywhere. All
traces of these plants as we'll as
those of cabbage, should thus not
only be removed, but burned.

who Are the HoIdups9

1t is an old trick of rogues when
under suspicion to cry stop theif''
and try to throw the blame on others.
In view of the wild statements and
charges of the Sparks this year, and
in view of the 30 mill levy and big
debt created by the democratic gang,
we wish once more to call the voters
attention to the promise of the Sparks
in its issue just before election last
year, and ask them il it is not evident
to them now who the real holdups are:
Last year the farmers living under
the La Junta and Lamar canal, and own
ing an So-acre water right, had his land
valued at $500, on which he paid a coun-
ty tax OF 80 mills, or s24. This year the
same land is valued at $500 and he pays
a county tax of 261s mills or s25.45. The
levy this year provides for the payment
of 5000 on account of bridges built and
$1,000 indebtedness accruing from former
administrations and through the failure
to collect delinquent taxes, besides allow
ing for all running expenses during the
year Next year, il the people still retain
control OF the board of commissioners,
THE LEVY NEED NOT EXCEED 20
MILLS. Vote for Higbee next Tuesday
and keep the HOLDUPS out"
The Lamar register., 1897-10-30

this extravaganza will lead to, and OF
putting stop to it. If continued
another two years and another vic
tory will serve to make the demo
cratic gang more arrogant-it will in
crease taxation to ruinous figure.
The illegal registration in precinct
No. shows the methods which the
gang is willing to resort to elect those
democratic candidates in which they
are interested, and their offers to
trade off the other candidates shows
their desperation. There should be
no trading. The only way to stop
this extrayagance is to rebuke and
repudiate the gang by defeating
their entire ticket.
The republican ticket is composed
Of men who are we'll known to be
able and honest citizens, not identi
fed with political cliqnes, new at the
business of running for office, and
well qualified to give the county an
honest business administration of the
offices for which they were nominated.

Look out for Illegal Voting.

We call the attention of the public
to the fact, that on the last registra-
ton day a large number of names
were registered in this county, by
agents OF the democratic ticket, who
are not legal voters in this county.
1t is also reported that these names
are registered in different precincts,
and the supposition is that il chal-
lenged in one precinct they will at
tempt to vote in another. There is a
penalty provided by the statute for
vouching for illegal voters to be reg
istered, and for illegal voting. The
chairman of the republican central
committee has retained counsel to
assist in the prosecution of illegal
voting il any is attempted. The peo-
Pile of this county are entitled to have
county officials, who are elected by
the residents and legal voters of the
county, and not by fraudulent and
imported votes.

Their Last Resort.

The democratic gang heelers and
their organ being utterly unable to
offer any excuse for their reckless
mismanagement of county finances,
have turned their attention to howl
ing '.goldbug' and ''vote for free sill
ver," in hopes that the tide can be
turned as it was last year, and enable
them to get new grip on the treas
ury. The people will not be hood
winked irto believing that this coun-
ty election has any connection either
for or against free silver. The in
sincerity of the Sparks is shown by
the fact that it carried the name of
the goldbug nominee for supreme
Judge at the head of its ticket as long
Us he remained in the race, and its
county ticket contains two goldbugs,
one of whom is opposed by silver re-
publican and a silver populist.
Realizing that this was fight for
good county government the repub-
lican chairman invited all who favored
that cause to come into the republi-
can primaries aud convention. That
they accepted the invitation is evil
denced by the fact that large por-
ton of the convention was made up
of well known free silverites, and

offices as well as the Lamar precinct
ticket.
There is no national issue at stake
IN this campaign, but there is the
question of whether the people wish
to continue the present reckless ex-
travagance, the rapidly increasing
high tax levies, the growing floating
debt, the continual deficits and the
use of county funds for private spec
ulation.

CREDITS.

The gang organ makes the rather
nervy and gauzy claim of a credit of
from ten to twenty thousand dollars
which it says the tax title buyers
would have invested here-if they had
not been scared out by high taxes.
This the taxpayers will hardly allow,
and it leaves the Lamar bridge-part
of the Judgment for which is still un-
paid-as the sole credit the taxpayers
have against the gangs enormous in
crease of S65, 500 in expenditures.

ANCAb l. A' fANSeACa eAN
most important one in the history OF
the county. On that day will be de
cided the question whether the tax
payers are willing to continue the
present lavish waste of the public
funds by men who were elected on a
pledge of economy and have shame
lessly violated that trust. The dem
ocratic gang heelers, who have been
so loud in their talk about reform
aud economy in the past years, have
now thrown of all pretense of either
reform or economy and boldly an
pounce that they expect to win by
the use Of money. The words econ
omy" and reform" have not been
uttered by the gang or it's organ this
campaign. Past success has made
them feel strong, and as the words
are distasteful to the gang they have
dropped them.
The people have the facts before
them on their tax receipts, how in
face OF their ever ready promise OF
economy the democratic gang has
forced taxes up and up until they are
much higher than those of any of our
neighboring counties and almost the
highest in the state. They have
forced the tax levy up from % mills
to 2Sl mills, raise of % per cent,
and this in spite OF the fact that the
valuation has been largely increased,
thus making the actual raise in the
average amount levied for county
purpose for fouI years SlO,S70, OF
81 per cent. This raise has not been
made TO pay debts as they would
try to make believe, The bonded
debt Of S15, 800 is still outstanding,
not one dollar having been paid. A
floating debt created by starting the
county organization, building jail,
completing court house, etc, was be-
ing paid by former administrations
by 3 mill levy out OF the average
levy of 22l mills. The democrats
are only levying mill for this fund
out of their 2Sa mills average, thus
giving them an extra 2 mills or aboni
$4,000 annually to spend.
In addition to all this they have
piled up an enormous floating debt
of over $4,000, and they don't even
pretend that the high tax levy of this
year, 30 mills, will meet the gangs
demands for next year, but there will
be another deficit and another large
increase OF the floating debt.

riously consider the question of whore

THE HORSE.
Prof Bristol Talks of Mans Best

Prof Bristol Talks of Mans Best
Friend.
In recent chat, Prof Bristol said
to an INDEPENDENT reporter:
The horse is perhaps the most
valuable OF all animals to man.
There ia no more willing, tractable
domestic animal, aud none in more
general aud constant use. There
are different temperaments in horses,
Just as in human beings, and to
obtain the greatest success with
them the temperament should be
studied and considered iu the treat
ment Of the animal. A visit to the
great advertisement given by Prof.
Bristol and his troupe Of perfectly
educated horses will convince any
one that horssmanship is science,
aud that it should be studied as one
would study any other science, it
will ensure greater pleasure in han
ding horses, greater efficiency in
using them, greater safety anc
greater satisfaction both to owner
aud horses throughout. The horse
and his driver, generally do not
understand each other, aud the
horses generally get the worst Of
the misu lderstanding. In fact, one
cannot hut be impressed with the
quickuess of perception on the part
OF the horse when taught by
proficient teacher, as we'll as by the
trartability Of the most vicious
animals when properly handled by
one with perfect knowledge of
their character, and be convinced
likewise of the fact that with better
intelligence on the part OF man the
horse would be more generally use
ful than he now is. Such intelligence
would secure better treatment to
him, as frmness and kindness are
the basis OF success in horsemanship.
La the interest OF the horses, there
fore, ii is hope that those who use
that animal will take lesson or
two how to do it from the great
lesson taught by Prof. Bristol in
handling his wonderful pets.

continues to please fashionable audi
ences at his Pavilion. The matt
