Connecticut has made rapid growth
the past decade, her population as shown
by the recent census being 9O8, ,S55, which
is a gain in numbers Of 152, ,O97, and in
per cent Of 21.7O over the population in
1880. The census Of four states has so
far been Connecticut, Della
ware. Arkansas and New Hampshire.
DalaWare's gain h as been 63 per cent,
New HampshiTe's 9.81 and Arkansas
1926. Thus Connecticut's gain has been
considerably larger than any OF them.
The populations Of the various towns and
cities OF the state are not yet public, so
that it is impossible to see just where the
chief gains-haYe been. But there is lit
tie doubt that they Will be found in the
large cities, and that in the country 1t
Will appear that there has been but little
gain, and in some Of the towns an actual

bunting ever seen in Douglas county.
During the remainder of the after
noon there will be speeches, recita-
tions, music, games, races, etc., and a
splendid display of fireworks at night
The dance in the open air will be d

Fire at Woodfords.

A most thrilling scene was witnessed
at Woodfords late Monday evening
when the hotel owned by Mrs. Merrill
was totally destroyed by fire. The
fire broke out about II o'clock from
some cause as yet unknown, and had
obtained firm hold before it was dis
covered. Mrs. Merrill had not yet re-
tired and was the first one to give the
alarm, and though everything possible
was done to save the building it was
soon found that all efforts were in
vain. All thoughts were then di-
rected toward saving the household
effects, but by this time the fire had
gained such Roadway that very little
of that was brought to place of safety.
Almost all bedding, furniture and
clothing was burned. Fortunately
there were but few guests and those
escaped without any serious loss.
1t was with the greatest difficulty
that the flames were kept from the
store and barns. Much credit is due
to the few men that were there at the
time and to the untiring efforts of Mrs.
Merrill. The loss is heavy and only
partly covered by insurance. Mrs.
Merrill has the heartfelt sympathy OF
the entire community.

A Happy Wedding.

There was beautiful home wedding
Wednesday, June 9th, at high noon
at the residence of Mrs. Ann Hickey
in Carson, the contracting parties be-
ing Mr.. Emery Kirkwood, the popular
sheriff of Mono county, and Miss Eta
Mack of Carson. The bride and groom
were attended by Mr.. Maurice Mack
as best man, and Miss Lillian Kirkwood
as maid of honor.
The bride was handsomely attired in
white mousline de soire, the maid OF
honor in white organdie Rev. DR..
Hazlett was the officiating clergyman.
A well chosen wedding breakfast was
participated in by a large number oil
friends. The young couple departed
for the Lake the same evening.
Among those present were Mrs. Ann
Hickey, Mrs. c. T. Hickey, Mrs. II. F,

Timber Suits.

United States Marshal Emmett yes
terday arrested Hans Nelson of this
place on charge of cutting timber on
government land in Pine Nut. Mr..
Nelson went to Carson and gave bonds
in the sum of 81, 800 for his appearance
before Commissioner Edwards for ex-
animation on July 9th. The case is
one of several growing out of the in
designations last summer of U. S. In
dian Agent H. c. Cullom. Mr.. Nelson
is in one instance at least mistaken
and unintentional tresspasser. He
purchased 100 acres of land which was
sold for taxes by Douglas county in
1890, but it now appears that the land
is government land and not subject to
taxation.
A civil suit was also started yester-
day against the Carson & Tahoe Lum-
Der & Flume Co. and Mr.. Nelson for
81, 370.50, it being claimed that the
Company had purchased the wood cut
from government lands.

20, what is so rare as a day in June?
Then. If ever. come perfect DAYS:

20, what is so rare as day in June?
Then, If ever, come perfect days:
Heaven tries the earth if 1t be in tune,
And over it softly her warm ear lays"
James Russell Lowell knew good
weather when he saw it. When the
leaves were russelling low and well,
Russell Lowell penned the foregoing
lines.
Sometimes a day in June is not rare;
but rather well-done, being rooster.
But the kind that James aimed at
have been ours this season.
To live has been joy. And yet that
depends upon the liver. Where the
liver has been in harmony with nature,
when heaven was tuning up the earth
for one of her very best warm ear lays,
it has been good to be alive, even to
one who has plunked along plucking
plunks for half a century.
But to the young, with fresh young
blood and bubbling buoyancy fraught,
this June has been 30-day delight, to
say nothing of the nights.
Even Longfellow could not go to
bed on such nights. We read in his
Bridge" that he stood upon that
structure at midnight,
And far in the hazy distance
of that lovely night in June,
The blaze of the flaming furnace
Cleaned redder than the moon.v
Nowhere in this exquisite poem can
we discover whether the poet stood
alone, or otherwise.
We would much rather be otherwise
The companionship of the man in the
moon has its advantages. One cannof
be talked to death.
But for lovers, these June nights ar,
joints of Paradise. Cool and calm
sweet and sylvan, fragrant with the
breath of roses, heaven indeed bend
down and touches this earth, takes tn,
restless little ball into its bosom, ans
loves it.

Likes the Country.

John Heimsoth, writing from Mt.
Vernon, Oregon, says:
II found this country much like
Carson Valley as to o-mate and pro-
auctions, but we had no injurious
frosts so that fruit of all kinds will be
plentiful even grapes are raised.
Haying (alfalfa) commenced the fore
part of the month. This country af-
fords fine advantages for farming and
stock raising, but the people do not
display the thrift and enterprise so
characteristic of the Carson Valley
farmer.
So far / am well pleased with this

Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-01-14

Yesterday City Engineer A. L. White
carried out his plan of selecting a we'll
qualified young mar to fill a vacancy in
his Office by holding a competitive ex-
ination of applicants, as announced in
the Register two months ago. Those
who presented themselves were Roy
Anderson, Charles Bradford, Leach
C~racraft, Eugene Hoge and Harry Wat
son. The examination was in a-ithme-
tic, algebra, plain geometry and Eng
lish, and the questions submitted and
the answers made will be passed upon
at a future date. The appointment will
be purely on merit.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-01-14

An effort was made yesterday after
noon to have a detailed interview with
Assessor Helmbright, but that official
left on the afternoon train for Pitts
burg, and when he will return is I'M
certain. Among other interesting as
sertions, 1t is charged that members of
the Board of County Commissioners
met with Mr.. Helmbright upon numer-
GUS occasions while he was making UP
his books, and coached" him as to the
ratios of increase to be made, and in
other ways aided in bringing about the
increased valuation upon all classes of
citizens. In the absence of Mr.. Helm
bright this categorical question could
not be put, but at the first opportunity
Mr.. Helmbright will be Intercepted
upon this and other pertinent matters
not yet touched upon.
The interest taken in the meeting of
the Chamber Of Commerce, Tuesday
evening, is great, yet it is difficult to
see what that body can do aside from
making a strong protest before the
State Board, as the mischief has been
done. so far as the city district of the
county is concerned, and car only be
remedied by a process of law outlined
above.
When the country districts-Ritchie,
Triadelphia, Liberty and Ritchie-will
be heard from is uncertain, but it will
probably be a week before the books
are in. Eighth ward property owners
are already stirred up by rumors that
there has been a heavy increase in the
valuation in that portion of the city,
but this is pure conjecture in the ab-
sence of the books. The citizens Of
Triadelphia have much more cause to
be anxious.
Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1900-01-14

The popular feeling against the re-
valuation of the real property in the
city district of this county, as returned
by Assessor Helmbright, is steadily
growing, and there is every indication
that the meeting of the Chamber OF
Commerce, called for Tuesday evening,
and announced in the Register Of yes
terday, will be very largely attended
by business men and owners of prop
erty, and the sentiment is that an en-
phatic protest will be filed, and steps
taken to secure a reduction. This re-
duction, however, unfortunately, can
not be made in individual cases
through the State Board, but any &C.
ton taken by that body must, under
the law, be in the nature of a horizon
tai reduction of so much per cent.
applying to the whole county. Petitions
for individual relief must go to the
Board of Commissioners, sitting as a
Board of Equalization and Appeals, af-
ter the State authorities have acted
The State Board consists Of five mem
bers, n from each Congressional dis
trict and one from the State at large
and Col. Thomas O'Brien, ST., is the
member from the First district. The
effort to be made before this Board
will be through representations that
the r~evaluation made in Ohio county
is out Of all reason as we'll as not war
ranted by either the cash valuation
or comparison with other counties OF
the State. If these views prevail the
Board will scale the Ohio county fig
ures down Sc much per cent, the re-
auctions so made applying to every
land owner in the county. The trouble
about this sort of reduction is that
the owner who was not increased in
the revaluation. or who may have
CHANGED to have a decrease. partici-
pates in the relief just in the same pro-
portion as the owner whose realty yalu-
alton may have been more than
doubled. The latter this obtains a
little but very disproportionate relief,
and any further reductions must be
sought at the hands Of the County
Board. which cannot set until June
next.
The Register yesterday pursued its
Investigations into Clay district, and
a a result presents thirty-four addi-
ton pieces of property, with a contrast
of the old and new figures. These ex-
amples are taken from the books at
random, and are not selected in any
manner. They are simply fair samples
of the whole business portion of the
district:
