smith Valley News.

Smith Valley crops are reason
ably good considering the dry sea-
son.
1t is said by those who are sup
posed to know that t. B. Hickey,
of Antelope Valley, is taking all the
water out of the West Fork, and
Smith Valley gets the seepage,
which is quite considerable water.
Ii the ranchers of the valley were
willing to divide the water there
would be plenty to water stock, gar
dens and orchards; but as it is the
owners of the upper bitches are put
ting in tight dams and trying to
take it all Some of these bitches
are comparatively new, aud are TAX
ing water from the older and lower
bitches. How long this kind of work
will be allowed remains to he seen.
One rancher who owns lower ditch
went up the river last week and cut
"a hole in each and all the dams he
came to Some of the dam owners
saw him, but they did not interfere,
and he went home and did little
irrigating. When he left, however,
the holes he had made in the dams
were soon repaired and now the
water is scarcer than ever. Mason
Valley ranchers have been up for
water and were promised some, but
the promise was probably all they
got. OCCASIONAL.

Adjudged Insane.

Deputy Sheriff Lester, of Silver
City, brought Mrs. Monckton, of
that place, to Dayton last Monday
on a commitment issued by Justice
Pollard, for assault. 1t appeared
that Mrs. Monckton had struck Mr..
Pollard with dipper. When she
was placed in Jail it became appar
ent that something was radically
wrong with her She did not know
anybody and tore all her clothes
off. Her daughter, Mrs. Coffin, of
Carson, was sent for, and when she
arrived Monday evening, Mrs,
Monckton did not recognize her.
1t was decided to have her examin-
ed for insanity, and Drs. Manson
and Mcdonald were sent for Tues
day morning. They pronounced her
insane, and Tuesday afternoon she
was taken to the Asylum at Reno.
1t is not believed that her dementia
will be permanent, as it is said to
have been caused by drinking alco-
hol, and treatment for this disease
will probably be given her.

False Charges Refuted.

r l.. Fitzgerald California's La
Dor Commissioner, after a thorough
investigation of the complaint filed
in his office charging the firm of Levi
Strauss Co., of 1915 Battery street,
San Francisco, California, with the
employment of Chinese labor on
Government work, made the follow
ing generating report:
Il was gratified to see so large and
complete factory and so thorough
ly systemized and equipped, located
in San Francisco; and further that
the same is admirably located and
well lighted and ventilated; that the
sanitary conditions are thoroughly
in accordance with law, and that |
witnessed about six hundred white
female employees busily engaged
and apparently in good health.
Regarding the employment of
Chinese | wish to particularly state
that the number is small (about l
per cent? and the work of such a
nature as to make it nearly impos-
sible for white men to engage in, and
take pleasure in reporting that your
factory can be classed as a white
labor institution under present con-
ditions, and it pleases me to give
credit where credit is due"

COrdelii Wins.

District Court was in session here
this week to try the case of Cordelli
VS., Pfeifer. A jury was secured on
Tuesday, and the trial lasted until
Thursday evening, when the jury
rendered unanimous verdict for
plaintiff. This suit was brought by
Cordelli to prevent Pfeifer from
using any of the water coming down
Sixmile Canyon, and to recover
$500 damages. The jury decided
in favor of Cordelli so for as the
right to the water was concerned,
but only gave him 81 damages. A
stay of execution, for ten days, was
granted, but tits not likely that the
case will be appealed.

an injunction was issued against
Pietro Cassinelli restraining him
from using certain water claimed
by Plaintiff taken out of the Carson
river. Cassinelli refused to obey
the order of Court and citation
was issued to show cause why he
should not be punished for con-
tempt. Upon the hearing of said
matter last Tuesday, Judge Mack
found Cassinelli guilty of con-
tempt and ordered him to be con-
fined in the county Jail until order
of Court was obeyed and costs OF

TRANS-SIBERIAN RAILWAY.

Count John Thun OF Austria Has just
Passed Over the Route.
VANCOUVER. B. c., Nov. 21.-Count
John Thun of Austria, who has arrived
here from Japan, came across Asia over
the route of the Trans-Si berian railway.
He left Moscow last May. For some
200 versts beyond Irkutsk, the journey
was full of great peril, and it required
nine days and nights of hard travelling,
sometimes mounted, but a greater part
of the time afoot, to encompass the dis
lance. Work upon this part of the road
had been we'll advanced a year or so
ago, but an era of unprecedented storms
set in and embellishments and bridges to
the amount of about 100000 roubles
were washed away. The work of re-
storing them during the past summer
was greatly interfered with by swarms
of insects and other pests, which made
it impossible for the men to work.
Count Thun says it is intensely cold
all along the line of the road and for the
most part barren and utterly desOlate
country. A region some 200 versts in
extent each direction north of Manchu-
ria, in China, is undoubtedly full of
almost inexhaustible gold fields, but the
extreme cold will not permit them to be
worked for more than three months in
the year. The road will, he thinks, be
completed in about two years time and
will be valuable chiefly in the move
ment of soldiers.

The Old Way.

We have no record of just how the Puri-
tans' Thanksgiving tables were set, but
from contemporaneous pictures we can
judge there were few if any forks, each
guest being supplied with knife. They
sat on benches and chests, ate from pewter
platters, and the table was in most cases
literally board placed on wooden horses.
They had few chairs or tables, but were
plentifully supplied with chests contain
ing their linen and wardrobes, and these
served in the place of chairs. In later Co
lonial times chairs and tables became more
plentiful, and forks were more common,
but all preferred to eat with their knives

NO TURKEY FOR THEM.
The College Athletes Denied That
Delectable Dish.


Detachable Dish.
To the students of the hundreds of
American colleges Thanksgiving is the
important day of the year.
1t is not day for turkey and cranber
ries. 1t is the day for athletics-the time
for the big gridiron game of the season.
If the game is to be played on the home
campus, there is hurry and excitement
there. In the morning the team is being
put through light signal practice on the
athletic field. The college boy who cares
for the sport only as ''rooter'' is primp-
ing in his room in the dOrmitOry, for in
his line he is as much a ''star" as play
er. Lunch at noon is devoured with q
gulp, and usually consists of wafer and
a cup of chocolate prepared over a student
lamp in his room. There is plenty Of
time for course dinner after the game.
For days before Thanksgiving the col
lege postoffice is the center of attraction.
Every piece Of mail, lbs it is sorted is anX
iously watched, for the Thanksgiving ':re
mittance" from home is important. 1t
means tickets for tho game, chrysanthe-
NUNS for the girl, /" a "rooter's" horn and
maybe a box of chocolates to be inunched
on the tallyho or in the grand stand.
The poor boy, the grind" who comes
to study and not for the social side of col
lege life, is not in as high spirits. He
does not take the butterfly interest in the
festivities like his richer classmate. He
takes tickets at the gate acts as usher or
fills some other busy office, and for this
service sees the game for nothing.
Should the game be played away from
the college the arrangements for it are
different The grind" then becomes Il
lonely and stays at home while the
others go to the game. The dormitory
seems to him never to have been SO big
and lonesome before. Maybe he goes to
the depot to see the boys off" Maybe
he plays on his guitar or talks on scientific
subjects in another "lonely" room, but
he does not go to the game. But there is
small pleasure in the diversion, and he
usually buries his feelings in study.
Away from the college the students
Thanksgiving dinner is eaten at hotel
in true dormitory style, with the usual
bantering and noisy laughing. At home
it is taken at the dormitory or college
boarding house, and whether or not it is a
joyous feast depends on the result of the
game.
For the student the day holds more of
pleasure than any other day in the year
and is looked forward to with consuming
interest.
