How is This?

One of the most important sales of
ranch property which has ever taken
place at Lovelock was that by which
J. II. Thies disposed of his extensive
landed interests on the Big Meadows
to Senator w. G. Pitt and w. c. Note
ware. The sale was consumated last
Saturday and the new owners have
taken possession. G. J. Romwall, a
sOn-in-law OF Senator Pitt. will manage
the property.
The Thies ranch is considered one of
the finest on the Big Meadows. 1t COM
prises 1,O40 acres of land, nearly all of
which is under cultivation. 1t lies i'm
mediately south of the town Of Love
lock.
The price paid for the property is
said to be $40, OOO State.
The property on which MIR. Thies
is assessed in Humboldt county is
rated by him to the Assessor at Sc, 395.
If other property is assessed at this
rate in Hum boldt the difference be-
tween the Silver States valuation at
$25, 600, 600 and the assessors valuation
at less than $4,000, 600 is explained.

White Pine Pleased.

The White Pine News in summing
up the work of the State Board of AS
SCISSORS has the following to say:
Assessor J. b. Williamson returned
home last Friday night from Carson,
where he had been 10 attendance at the
meeting of the State Board of Asses
sors, and is, as a whole, well pleased
with the work accomplished by that
body, as he has good reason to be.
Through the personal influence of
Mr.. Williamson concession was
granted to White Pine county in the
matter of assessing stock cattle, re-
ducing yearlings, twe-year-olds and
COWS. and in this county, Lincoln and
Nye these animals will henceforth be
assessed at Sl6, while, in all other coun-
ties throughout the State the assess
ment will be uniform at 81.
AS whole w bite Pine county has
no cause for complaint at the action OF
the contrary the taxpayers of this
county will be benefited by the result
of their laborS. The reduction in the
State rate from ST to 80 cents has been
more than met by the increased val.
uation of property ia the richer
counties.

THE RAILROAD FIGHT.
Use of Barbed Wire on the
Uvada Grade.

There is no abatement of work with
either of the rival forces on the grade,
although less than three miles separ-
ate the track layers for the Short Line
from the grade reconstructed by the
Clark people, which they have made
preparations to hold at all hazards.
There has been a free use of barbed
wire, closely strung upon deep planted
posts, and other distractions placed
near the dividing line separating the
grade each has been in peaceable pos
session of so far.
The Short Line people have an
abundance of men and material to close
this gap ia three or four days and evil
IDENTIFY intend to do it.
What course they will pursue after
reaching the disputed ground is wholly
prOblematic. 1t is safe to Say they
will meet with physical resistance if
they attempt to invade the Clark ter
ritory, but nothing serious is antici-
pated if white men are substituted for
the japanese track layers. Those in
charge of the rival camps here laugh
at the idea of trouble and maintain
that it is their purpose to keep wiGhin
the law The work so far done on
track, grade and bridges is first class
and everything in readiness to carry
the road at least forty miles over as
good road bed with easy grades and
curves as any in the country.
| There is well authen ticated rumO,
| here that overture5 have been made
| for meeting tomorrow between Su'
! perintendent Young and Z. 3. Mckeor
on behalf of the Short Line, and Col
onel II. B. Maxon and V. G.. Kelly O.
the Clark peop,e. Just what could be
accomplished by a conference between
the rival chiefs here is not apparent
Minor differences might, however, il
this way be adjusted and foundation
laid for broader negotiations.
One of the Japanese track layers haG
his leg smashed under a 600 pound
rail this morning and DR.. Breaker
fixed the brown fellow up as good a
circumstances would permit. He wa
sent north on the afternoon train.

if they chance to get their bearings first.
There is never a leader in a flight; each
takes his individual line and keeps it.
Each individual owner has his own
method of raising and training his birds,
and the care IS as systematically given as
would he the case with any fancy stock.
Fred May. race secretary for the Henne-
min and Ramsey county district of Mime
sofa. whose bird Crazy flew 800 miles when
four months old, and holds the best record
for flight of any young pigeon in this coun-
fry gives his method as follows;
Every morning the birds are looked over
carefully to see that they are In good con-
dition. then before eating they are given
from five 10 ten miles of flag flying. This
takes from three-fourths of an hour TO an
hour. They are then allowed to come In
and rest a few minutes, after which they
are given a breakfast of yellow Canadian
field meas. The birds fly again at noon
and are not fed again until night. when
they are given field peas. canary seed and
vicha or hemp. This is the regular feed
throughout the racing season. The birds
ALWAYS have plenty OF fresh water. not too
cold. for drinking and bathing. The cote
and nests are kept ~scrupulously clean.
Every week the birds are sent down the
road by express at night and are released
for n~ractice flight in the morning. The first
,,ue they are taken ten miles. the next
time fifteen, and then twenty and twenty
five miles, increasing each week as the
