STATE HOUSE.
Average Numter Of Fires. This Year-nsaIih
Of the State Is Good.

The outlook Is that the state will es-
cape this year with no more than the
usual number of fires At one time il
looked decidedly dark. During the early
part Of the summer the thunder storms
raised havoc in some sections and i:
looked though the damage done by fire
would be very great before the season
was through. Now the worst OF the
thunder storm period is practically over,
judging from past years. and m
less there should he change for the
worse the State will escape with no more
than the usual number of fires. Just
now the number seems to be smaller
than usual.
With continuation of the present
methods of Hon. 5. w. Carr, State insur-
ance commissioner, there cannot but be a
decrease in the number Of incendiary
fires. He has looked into the incendiary
fires very carefully and has been so vigil
liant that the firebug is becoming more
cautious in his operations. For all that
a great deal OF responsibility devolves on
the municipal officers Of towns to make
a thorough investigation that more fires
do not result from an incentliary origin.

So far almost no forest fires have been
reported. Several weeks ago much dam
age was done in some parts OF the west
ern section Of the State. That was dur
ing the severe drought The timberland
section was not visited by the severe
drought and as a consequence few if any
fires Were reported. At one time the out
look was 50 black that it was thought
that section was surely in for a dry peri
Cd ana that forest fires would occur in a
very short time.

MEMORIAL DAY
Perfect Day and a Pleasant
Program

The Memorial bay exercises passed off
very nicely on Wednesday. Tn. day
was cloudless and not too warm.
The procession formed at the time ad
vertised and marched to the cemetery
and it was a subject of general remark
that the children of the public schools
did not participate as they had done on
former occasions.
The exercises at the cemetery passed
off without hitch. The musical selec-
tions were exceptionally well rendered.
Sam Plat delivered a stirring Grafton
and Prof. Roberts of Empire read with
good effect the Gettysburg address of
Abraham Lincoln. Miss Nettie Martin
of the Relief Corps recited well chosen
poem and Chaplain Meyers conducted
the memorial services and read the roll
of the dead. The Carson Band rendered
some very appropriate music and the
cereuOnies were closed by the usual
decoration of the graves of the dead.

THE NEVADA POTATO

reached the parental roof few days
ago he wired ahead and his fond
mother prepared a meal which was
calculated to apply to man OF 225
avordupois, who had breakfasted in
Reno.
The piece de resistance was some
spring chicken broiled in the most en-
ticing style. But when the tempting
foul was passed he waived it away
with his fork and remarked:

He had fallen aboard Of some Ne
vada potatoes, and these suculent
spuds, to which his stomach had been
a stranger for three years, were more
than a revelation to him. He was
carving them up and throwing them
into large hole in his face which could
properly be classed as true assure.
One by one they disappeared. while he
wore smile of the most beati6ed con-
tentment. Occasionally when his plate
was empty. his mother would make an
attempt to get some chicken within
his reach but he said he could get
! chicken in New York but not potatoes
mo such thing as decent potato in

for potatoes won't suffla. They taste
like old sawdusr and pine chips. They
