in Fallon. Senator Williams has
offered to give a lot 150x15O for
site, and it will probably be
accepted, as the location is an
excellent one, having the advan-

around two sides of the lot. In
Fallon, at the present time, there
are two stores-one owned by

corral and feed yard. The town
also has a substantial school
house and a two-story town
hall, also a central telephone
office. in which Miss Austin acts
as "hello girl" Wirick & Branch
are the hustling contractors and
builders of the place, and they
have several new residences in
course of construction, but lum-
ber and house finishings are hard
to obtain quickly. 1t is under
stood that by the first of next
year, or soon after, there will be
another store, saloon and hotel
in Fallon, and from that time on
the town will no doubt grow
rapidly.
Fa!lon is situared in about the
center of the agricultural section
of the county, and besides its
agricultural resources Churchill
has some very good mining pros
poets At present the county is
but sparsely settled. there being
less than $50 votes polled at the
last election. This would indi-
cate that there are in the neigh
borhood of $50 families in the
whole county. So soon, how
ever, as the irrigation system is
completed, which will probably
be two years hence, the country
will begin to settle up at a rapid
rate. AS settlers will only be
allowed to take up 160 acres of
land each under the new law, it
means that in a few years the
county will have population of
from ten to fifteen thousand peo-
pie. This will make of Fallon a
splendid town. In two years
from now we should not be sur
prised to see a dozen saloons,
more hotels, stores and business
houses of every description, in
cluding a newspaper, in the
town.
To those who think of visiting
the town the shortest route is to
take the c. p. train to a station
named Massey. From that point
on the railroad it is only 16
miles by stage over good road
to Fallon.

CHURCHILL COUNTY.
NIX RESOURCES TO BE DEvEL OPED
BY GREAT IRRIGATION WORKS.
Two Hundred thousand Acres of Fertile Land
viii be Placed Under irrigation by
Gov. Reservoirs and Canals.


Last week representative of
the ZINES spent several DAYS in
Churchill county, and was great
iy pleased to note the many i'm
provements and the spirit of
progress in that section. This
state of affairs has been brought
INTO existence from the fact that
the Government is now arrang-
ing to construct a large and
magnificent irrigation system
for Churchill county, which will
place every acre of her vast tract
of splendid land nnder water, so
that it can be TILED. Probably
no other county in the State
possesses such a great tract of
excellent lanG in a body as does
Churchill. The land is mostly a
fine dark loan, where the sage
brush grows to immense proper
tions and can be used for fire
wood and fence posts. When
irrigated, this land produces
wonderful crops of alfalfa, grain,
potatoes and all other garden
products.
At the present time there are
several crews of surveyors oper-
ating along the Carson River,
below what is known as the
Log Cabin. Just below this
point, at place called Red Hills,
the Government has made a
location of dam site. This
dam, when constructed, will be
in the neighborhood of 100 feet
high and 200 feet wide at the
top. 1t will hold back the
waters of the Carson River,
which now go to waste, and
make a reservoir several miles
long and from 20 to 100 feet
deep. Already surveys have been
made for a canal from the
Truckee River, from a point nine
miles west of Wadsworth, to
bring water into this great res
ervoir. This canal will be so
feet wide and from 10 to II feet
deep. Below the dam on the
Carson the water will be taken
out in large highland canals on
each side of the valley, and the
river practically cut out, except
for drainage uses. Neither the
reservoir nor the canals will
cover any land that is of much
value for purposes of cultivation.
That the people of Churchill
county are aware of the great
good 70 be done that section by
this great irrigation system is
seen by the number of improve
ments being made all along the
line. Below the Red Hills, on
down to Dutch Henry's" place,
a number of new ranches have
been put in, comfortable dwell
ings erected, bitches built, etc,
and at every point there appears
TO be a condition of thrift and
prosperity.
Arriving at Fallon, which is to
be the new county seat of Chur-
chill county. the writer found a
bright little town composed OF
about 20 or 30 new buildings,
nearly all of which have been
constructed in the past year or
wear and a half. The last Legis-
lature passed an act making
Fallon the county seat after
January 1, 1904. At the July
meeting of the Board of Com
missioners of Churchill county

All oriental servants put strict
construction upon orders. Perhaps
the Hindus may bear off the palm for
excellence in this matter At any rate,
the experience of an American woman
with her native servant in India last
year shows praiseworthy readiness
to follow instructions to the letter.
The mistress had instructed her
servant always to put napkin in the
bottom of the fruit dish or of the cake
basket whenever any of these dishes
were to be brought to the table. From
that time the napkin was never for
gotten.
One day a tureen of tomato soup was
placed before the woman at the head
of the table. She began to ladle out
the soup when something like the cor
ner of rag was brought to the sur
face. Investigation revealed more OF
the disquieting material with the hint
of a fringed border
The servant was called What is
this?" he was asked. THAT, men,

ANCIENTS OF GREAT AGE.
Many of Them Accomplished Much
After They Had Passed the
Allotted Years of Man.

1t is generally supposed that the men
those of ancient times, but certain
classical scholars of Europe are of a
different opinion and they point to a
census which was taken during the
reign of the Emperor Vespasian as
proof that they have good ground for
disagreeing with scientists on this
point.
When this census was taken several
persons were living who were more
than 100 years old, among them being
two in Parma, each 125 years; one in
Brixellum, 1875; one in Placentia, 1870;
a woman in Faventia, 1876; L. Teren-
titus in Bologna. 140; M. Apponius and
Tertulla, the former being 14O and the
latter 1877, and at Velejacium, near
Placentia, six persons who were ITO,
four 120 and one who was 40.
Moreover, several historical person
ages lived to great age.
Cato Censorius transacted business
until he was 80 and retained to the
end all his old-time vigor
100, and he continued to write up to the
day of his death.
Plato died in his eighty-third year.
and his last hour was devoted to in
tellectual work.
Isocrates was "a years old when he
wrote his famous work, "Panathenai-
kus"
Chrysippus began to write his work
on logic in his eightieth year. Clean
thes taught his pupils up to his ninety
ninth year.
Sophocles lived to be nearly 100 and
during his last days he wrote the "Oed-
ipus Coloneus," one of the greatest
tragedies ever written.
Quintus Fabius was appointed augur
when he was past middle age and he
held the Office for 81 years.
Livia, the wife of Rutilius, lived to
be 81; Terentia Ciceros wife, 1903, and
Clodia, the wife of Aufidius, lis
Hero, king of Sicily, lived to be 90,
and Masinissa lived to be still older
and ruled for 60 years.
Cicero in his work on old age says
of the latter that nothing could induce
him to cover his head, no matter how
inclement the weather was.
Gorgias of Leontium, the teacher Of
Isocrates and other distinguished men,
was in excellent health at the age Of
LOT years.
Xenophilus of Chalcis, the Pytha-
gorean, lived to be almost as old as
Gorgias and his later years are de-
scribed as being most happy.
Finally ancient records show that
Arganthonius began to rule when he
was 40 years cid and held power for
so years. and in the third book of the
History" Asinius Polio tells us that
he did not die until he was past his
one hundred and thirtieth year.

Restoration of Cha1dea.

Sir William Willcocks, late director
general of the irrigation works of Egypt,
draws a brilliant picture of the possible
future of the ancient land of Chaldea,
once one of the most fertile and popu-
lous in the world, but now desert. The
Tigris, he says, once performed, and can
again perform, for Chaldea the same
functions as the Nile for Egypt. Opis
at one time the wealthiest mart of the
east, but at present mound of ruins,
bears to the Tigris delta very much the
same relation as that of Cairo to the
delta of the Nile. At an expense of
about 100000 the ancient irrigation
system could be restored, and Chaldea
would become as rich country as
Egypt, which, so years hence, he pre-
diets. will attain height of splendor
and magnificence SURPRISING its great
ness in the days of the Pharaohs.-

ANIMALS IN GEOLOGY.
Influence of the Higher Animal Life
on the Shape of the Earth's
Surface.

DR.. Passarge, the well-known German
geologist, gave an interesting lecture
awhile ago in which he told of the in
fiuence which the larger animals of the
Kalahari desert have exerted in pro-
ducing some of the peculiar surface
forms in that great waste, reports
London paper. Most of the great game
has now disappeared on account of
ruthless hunting both by natives and
white men, but the region was formerly
populated by great herds of elephants,
rhinoceroses, antelopes, giraffes, zebras
and other large animals.
The crowding of these herds of game
to the watering places gave these ba-
sins their present shape. The animals
not only quench their thirst at these
places, but also use the waters for bath
ing purposes.
1t is we'll known that elephants and
not few other large animals delight
to roll in mud. Through the rolling
and other movements of the animals
the ground around the watering places
was stirred up and every beast took
away from his bath certain amount of
calcareous mud on his body. Thus these
places, which originally were only slight
depressions, gradually assumed the
form of deep hollows or basins.
The sides of these hollows are almost
vertical and the animals are also re-
sponsible for this fact. Elephants and
many other animals have habit of rub
bling themselves along rough places and
in this way the walls of these artificial
basins were gradually rubbed away
until they received their present steep
ness.
In another way, also, the animals
contributed to change the form of the
surface. The water contains lime car
Donate in solution and with the water
drunk by the animals this carbonate
disappeared and the fresh spring water
absorbed another supply from the rocks,
thus deepening the depression.
Similar effects produced by animals
in other parts of the world have been
noted. In paper published by Dr. Gill
bert, the well-known American geolo
gist, few years ago, he said that in
the course of ages considerable changes
had doubtless been made in the surface
features of our great western plains by
the buffaloes and other animals which
rolled in mud and in the aggregate
doubtless removed from one place to an
other an enormous quantity of dirt
which adheres to their hides. Of course
all Americans know of the buffalo wal
lows which are still thickly sprinkled
over the plains where the enormous
herds of bisons once wandered

NECESSITY for Regrets.

Once upon time, on winter morn
ing, tramp in the neighborhOod of
the -Four Hundred was going from
house to house seeking breakfast.
At the first house he was invited to
clean the snow from the front walk as
a condition precedent to the desired
meal. He turned sorrowfully from the
door and called at the next house,
where he had to face a similar invita-
ton. So it went from house to house
until the tramp selected a breakfasting
place where the snow had been re-
moved.

Gle of the -Four Hundred" have to de-
cline many inyitations.-N. Y. Herald.

with my nightly rest broken, ow-
ing to irregularities of the kidneys,
suffering intensely from severe pains
in the small of my back and through
the kidneys, and annoyed by painful
passages OF abnormal secretions, life
was anything but pleasant for me.
No amount of doctoring relieved this
condition, and for the reason that
nothing seemed to give me even tenn
porary relief, became about dis
couraged. One day I noticed in the
newspapers the case Of a man who
was afflicted as 1 was and was cured
by the use of Doan's Kidney Pills.
His words Of praise Tor this remedy
were so sincere that on the strength
of his statement went to the Hugh
Murrey Drug Co.'s store and got a
box. I found that the medicine was
exactly as powerful kidney remedy
as represented. I experienced quick
and lasting relief. Doan's Kidney
pills will prove blessing to all suf-
ferers from kidney disorders who will
give them fair trial.

The discovery of the germ theory is per-
haps the most important in the history
of medicine, the discovery of the stomach
of course excepted.
Exhaustive experiments on guinea pigs

But such is the character of serums that
nobody will take them unless he is
