WATER STORAGE IN DOUG
LAS

The incorporation of the farmers Of
Carson Valley last Saturday into a
water storage company is the result
OF a long felt and distressing need for
a greater water supply. 1t is a move

such a speedy development of the

thousand acre feet of stored water in

TRIED BY FIRE.

The Silver Party OF Nevada in the
recent election has amply demonstrate
ed its ability to stand fire.
1t went into the fight Of it's life
under its old banner refusing alliances
OF any sort and form the day it placed
its platform and ticket in the field. ii
was subjected to the c|annonadinL o
three distinct parties, the Democratic.
Republican, and Popullst,
In addition to this a urchas,d end
malignant press, whose only stock
tsade was vituperatIon and falsehood
hurled a C~easeless hail of accusations
against It and men of no brains and
less character joined the hue and
cry.
1t seemed for a while that the party
must go down to defeat before the
storm that assaIled it and when it was
discovered that there was a nest of
lngrates and t~raiters in its own ranks
engaged IN assisting the enemy, the
people of the State shook their heads
and said that the day of dissolution
for the Silver Party had cone.
But a few days before election the
disposal Of the vile ISLANDERS Set ahoat
by the opposition and the true inward
ness OF the Hanna influences being
known the people Of Nevada raj
lied to the standard of Silver and went
into the fight with an easnestness
and determination that surprised the
men who mIstooS noise and tie h. at
ing OF worn out tom toms for argument
and on election day the old ST yer
party, with a Republican sack s1nit
ing on the flank in Washoe and Storey
and a Democratic sack SWINGING
against it in the great east, CHARGED
through the ranks of the opposition
and swept the field with a victory
that Cme all the sweeter TO the win
ing ia because it was the hardest
battle Of its existance and only won
by hand to hand fighting at every
point.
Now that the contest is over. we can
settle at leisure with the sneaks and
traitors who were willing to suck
party pop when the party was able to
pack them along. bnt who show ed
their true colors as desesters when
they thought the party was lettering
to its fall.
These men are merely outcasts
from every camp of uolrtics in the
State and a Jest and mockerv among
them all.
Some u~nderhanded, dirty work has
beer doSe in the party lines by men
higher in the ranks and before the
party is much older these people Will
be called to sharp account.
Meanwhile the victors can afford to
be generous to their somewhat ,lis-
guided Democrats and Populist op
ponents and will not decline to fuse
with them under Bryan's banner in
1900.

ing settled her probate account and the

to about $500 had been exhausted and
that DR.. Small's heirs were indebted to
her estate to tho amount of $4,000 in ad-
dition. To the decree of the Probate

SHE WAS THOROUGHLY SCARED.

A lady of this city had a sensational
experience in Hayerhill, Mass, the other
night. She was visiting friends in that
city and had retired to her chamber. She
was awakened during the carly hours Of
the morning by hand placed on her feet.
She screamed out and aroused the family.

house and had made good his escape with
sum of money, some silverware and two
valuable watches. 1t is thought that he
entered the young lady's room and mis-.
took the foot for the head of the bed. The
lady received a thorough scare.

the angle of fire changed to correspond
ing degrees.

himself as an escaped convict and who
has been confined in the guard house at

mended that at least 500 from that branch
