It's the best thing for the
hair under all circumstances.
Just as no man by taking
thought can add an inch to
his stature, so no preparation
can make hair. The utmost
that can be done is to pro-
mote conditions favorable to
growth. This is done by
Ayers Hair Vigor., 1t re-
moves dandruff, cleanses the
scalp, nourishes the soil in
which the hair grows, and,
just as n desert will blossom
under rain, so bald heads grow
hair, when the roots are nour-
ished. But the roots must be
there. If you wish your hair
to retain It's normal color, or
If you wish to restore the lost
tint of gray or faded hair use

CattIemen Complaining.

Hon. Thos. Robinson came wei from
Newark Valley on Monday. Mr.. Robin
son says the. cattlemen of White Pine
are up in arms against the sheepmen,
who are crowding the cattle out of the
valleys and into the hills. Mr.. Robin
son says there are now 100, 900 sheep
ranging in that county from Idaho and
Elko county. The taxes in Elko are
81 80, while in White Pine they are
50 60, and to take Advantage Of the
cheaper rate the sheepmen claim a home
ranch in Elko, which, under their pres
ent law, exempt them from taxation in
any OF the other counties on their sheep.
The stockmen complain that it is bad
enough to have their stock from their
usual range, but what rankles and
makes the iron enter deep into the heart
is the fact that these sheep range in that
county six months OF the year without
contributing one cent of taxes. During
the balanae OF the year they range in
Elko county, where they shear and pay
their taxes. Mr.. Robinson says White
Pines representatives will endeavor to
have the "Hope ranch law changed at
this session oi the observation-disclosures a

NEW YEAR.

"Gung he fl tot" is not Tom Moran $
latin but Sam Sings New Year greeting
in other words: MAY you always be
happy aud prosperous" Next Monday
,he weeks celebration begins and the
| bows in the railroad Office will smoke
CIGARS for Two months and somebody viii
tell them every five minutes that there
old waste harnicS somewhere, or then
tio.hes are on fire and indulge in similar
suggestive pleasantries.
For the week during the celebration
OF The New Year no bills are paid but
the annual settlement has taken place
and John has taken the hot bath which
every Chinaman take before New Year.
| The houses are scrubbed and everything
made clean.
John gets his head shaved and is jam
med around by the barber, punched in
the neck and has his nose pulled to drive
out the evil spirits.
Then comes preparations for a feast
aud chicken, duck, goose, sucking pig,
fish, hoi sham, kioun, rice, wine, gin,
brandy, fruits, candy and other delica-
cies.
"Chil Lau Wang Seung'' sounds like
Mr.. Forney's Pennsylvania Dutch, but
it really is the Chinese salutation; MAY
our larder be always full"
''Tonge Wo Fon Hop" is what Ono
Chung yelled when Mr.. Fitzgerald con-
nected him with 800 cells of ba ttery. 1t
means: Chinese and foreigners in
peace" These are the notices printed
on red paper and posted on the walls.
We got these Chinese phrases from
Mr.. Kay. 1t took a good deal of persua-
sion as Charlie is rather modest about
displaying his knowledge of Chinese in
public. We should judge that Mr.. Me-
Kinstry is taking lessons and next New
Year we hope to be able to do better.
Nobody ever accused Tom of being re-
firing or bashful.
Just before midnight on the last day
of the old year, silence is ordered by the
oldest Chinanan present, and cups filled
with hot water are passed around so
each Chinaman may cleanse his mouth,
signifying the cleansing OF the old year.
When the clock strikes for midnight the
Cinnamon offer their %salutations to each
other. Then the fire crackers get in
their work and peace vanishes.
1t is q !. this season of the year that
Trainmaster Donelin lays in a supply Of
cigars for his friends. The supply is
good for ten years but custom forces
him to renew annually.

AN EVENT.

Sometime during last week w~iiisperin.
began of a coming wedding on the nppp
sink OF the Carson and an unusual bu.
tie was to be noticed ut the residence O
J. j. Cushman.
Wednesday evening "the event" wa.
of the past, About noon the guests be.
gan to arrive, and promptly at one
O'Clock the bridal party stepped into tho
parlor and in the presence OF the as
sembled guests were pronounced man
and wife by Judge Trolson. The ccre-
mony was decidedly short but also de-
cidedly effective.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
mine host startled the company by alb
ruptly rising and with his customary
reckless manners, appropriating the
first kiss from the bride which the groom
would fe On have reserved for himself.
Sincere and hearty the congratulations
were.
The happy couple were W. f. Davis
and Lins nj. Holman, both of the Sink,
with c. Cushman acting as best man
and Miss Ivy Cushman as bridesmaid.
Immediately after the ceremony the
artist from Carson, MI. Peterson, took a
SNAP shot with his camera. All seemed
to heartily enjoy the wedding dinner
prepared by Mrs. j. Cushman and her
assistant. 1t was indeed a sumptious
repast served in true country style.
During the afternoon the camera was
again brought into requisition for sever
al groups. The afternoon and evening
passed away very pleasantly, ice cream
being served first before the departure
of the guests.
Noticeable among the presents was a
broom with the lines attached which are
given below. 1t was regretted that the
company could not have the pleasure Of
seeing the black muley COW among t Q
rest of the gifts. One important thin g
presented to Mr.. and Mrs. Davis was
advice by Mr.. Yerplank, Mr.. Hicks and
Mr.. Cushman, all men of age and ex-
perience.
During the evening the children W o
occupied an adjoining room reported
three weddings as having occurred among
themselves. Such is childhoods desire
to immitate. However, as no license
was procured and no judge was present,
tka;r carap,oniac wara pyulid
Mr.. Davis was heard to remark that it
had been a very busy week with him,
he having gotten himself both a wife and
a ranch.
The wedding was very unexpected to
all parties, but as Mr.. and Mrs. Davis
were very attentive to each other Sc m
ten years ago when very ynu .htul, tins
may only be the conclusion OF an inter
rupted romance.
The bride wore a very pretty and be-
coming dress of cream silk cashmere.
All who were there know what the
groom wore.
All departed in jovial spirits, wishing
for another wedding.
LINES OK A BRooa
Mr.. Broom, long ages had passed
Before thou didst appear,
But thou didst come at last
And we welcome thee with cheer.
OF thy virtues we would speak,
In time of calm or storm.
From thy horrors man must retreat
When woman assumes an angry form.
Mr.. Davis treat your wife genteel
And I'll give thee no distress,
My virtues On your head you'll not
feel,
