went to Manila as member OF the First
Nevada Cavalry, fought Uncle Sans
battles until the troop was discharged
and mustered out of the service, re-
mained on the island of Luzon, and said
goodbye to his comrades who returned
home.
Mr. Darrah went into the bakery
business at Cavite. HIS entire capital
when he started less than two years ago
was two loaves Of bread, one pie and
what money he had been able to save
from his Sl3 per month paid him by
Uncle Sam. Now he has in his employ
fifteen men, has bought $4,000 steam

Cattle for Shipment.

The first fall drive of Miller & Lux
cattle arrived in Winnemucca Sunday,
having been on the road twenty days.
They number 700 head and are from the
Harper ranch. Mr.. Columbet the firms
shipper, will send them west Tuesday,
part going direct to the San Francisco
market and the remainder to one of the
firms California ranches.
This year all the Miller & Lux Oregon
cattle will be brought here for shipment
west. Last year the greater number
were shipped East from Ontario, Oregon,
but this year none will be sent in that
direction on account OF the unsatisfac.
tory Eastern market. The total ship
ments from this point to California
within the next few months will prob
ably reach 10000 head. SILVER State.

Hazins Nearly Results In Tragedy.

A large body OF State University stud

edge of town and proceeded to instruct
the freshies in the manner in which they
should deport themselves during the

to the rendezvous. Harry had beer

gun loose, firing two shots that went
wild and third that struck Leadbettel
directly over the heart. Happily the

bullet, and it inflicted merely bruise.-

The Same Applies at Home.

{ The awful and quick progress made
by the fire Saturday night, shows how
utterly Mt the mercy OF the fire fiend the
people OF Wells are. Only that there
was not particle of wind that fateful
night is the secret Of the preservation Of
the whole town. Though many fires
have wrought havoc here in past years,
there is not single precaution in exist
ence for such emergencies. There is no
fire projection whatever. 1t stands
every property owner in hand to take
steps to protect his property. Let some-
one take the initial step and call PUB
lie meeting to formulate plans for protec-
tion.-Wells Herald.
The same state Of affairs exist in Bat
tie Mountains, and though many fires
have destroyed much property in past
years, yet our people seem not to be
aware that fire may occur at any time
and play havoc with our property as
heretofore. There has been no steps
taken TO guard against hre, notwith-
standing the urgent appeals that have
been made from time to time for meet
ing to be held and the citizens and prop
erty owners to be present and devise
means for protection against fire. II
our people was going to do anything in
this matter they should act at once be-
fore it is too late. The whole town is in
terested and it is the duty Of everyone to
lend a hand. We are getting tired of
bringing this matter before the people OF
the town for there seems to be no inter-
est taken, and it is question that tshould
be thought of seriously and we would
like to see our citizens wake up and take
the matter in hand without delay.

The Local Newspaper.

There is not q resident of a town,
where live and enterprising newspaper
is published, says the Reno Journal, who
is not benefited pecuniarly by its publ
cation, and the better support such
paper receives the greater advantage to
all Of the business interests Of the town.
No better estimate Of the enterprise and
business capacity Of the people Of town
can be made than by examination of the
advertising columns Of their local paper.
II they are well filed it denotes the gen.
eral prosperity and spirit OF enterprise
and liberality upon the part Of the citi-
zens, while a. scanty array Of struggling
ads. is q sure indication OF either poverty
of resources, or the parsimonious meth
DDS Of the business men of the town.
The narrow minded merchant who
thinks that money paid for advertising
is thrown away, would realize the idiocy
of his belief inside of week, were the
paper or papers of bis town to suspend
publication. 1t would be the worse
..black eye" that could be given to the
town and its inhabitants, II would be
worst than the failure Of half dozen
business establishments in the place, and
as bad as the "petering OUT Of the prin-
cipal mines in a small mining town,
whose business was entirely dependent
upon the mineral product of tn sur
rounding district.
Some people are inclined to regard
newspaper publishers somewhat as
mendicants. and that money paid them
for legitimate work is given in charity.
As a matter of fact newspaper publish
ers donate more to the public in the way
of free advertising of the resources of
the section; encouragement and promo
tion of public and private enterprises
and more than hundred other things,
the cost Of the type setting alone Of
which is ten times more than is bestowed
in charity and donated for public pur-
poses by any begrudger Of the publish
er's compensation for few inches OF
space in the columns Of his paper.

Said a good, reliable and enter
prising farmer to the writer: "The
trouble with the farmers is that
they will not hang together in mat
tiers of common interest" Untor-
tunately the statement is true. The
best interests of the farmers is the
best interests of the business men
and come to think of it, business
men will not hang together much
better than do the farmers. What
is needed is better and wider ap-
probation on the part of both far
mers and business men OF the great
value of all hanging for the COM
mon interests of both. There is
no falser doctrine promulgated then
that there is natural and inevitable
antagonism between country and
town-between producer and con-
sumner between farmer and bust
ness man. Neither can prosper
when the other loses. Let US all
get closer together and then pull
for the common good.

THE FARMERS ELEVATOR.

that the judgement of expert in

will 90 out of business. The de-
sire of the local buyer to give the
farmer the benefit of every doubt
that he might realize the most pos
slbIe from his crop, and that in the
face of steadily, declining mar.
ket, entailed losses, and the close
of the business year found the
company deeply in debt. For six
weeks-since the annual meeting
all sorts of ways and means for
paying this indebtedness have
been considered and discussed and
it was finally decided that the
only plan would be to sell the ele-
vator and abandon business. To
that end at a meeting of the share
holders held a week ago last Sat-
urday resolution was unanimous
ly adapted inspecting the board of
directors to sell the elevator for
not less than $4,000 about what
it has cost-and apply the pro-
ceeds to liquidating the debt, and
assess the stock for any deficiency,
which may exist.
Conforming to this resolution
the directors offered the property
for sale. In the nature of things
the time for making the sale was
short, as the purchaser has con-
siderable repairs to make, and the
opening of the market is right at
hand. The best offer obtainable
up to Tuesday evening, and that
offer based upon the EARLIEST pos
sible acceptance of it, is $500 by
Alex. Beaudreau. The offer was
accepted providing deposit or
$500 be made at once to assure the
bargain. The deposit was prompt
ly made. Subsequently an offer
of $3.50 was made by Mr.. Brooks
of tthe mill, but the directors felt
bound to abide by the contract
with Mr.. Beaudreau. In fact he
was in shape to enfore his contract
at law after making the deposit.
The directors have called a stock
holders meeting for next Wednes-
day afternoon at $50 for the pur-
pose of submitting what they have
,done under the instructions of the
meeting, and that their action may
be fully ratified and confirmed.
