Inns Are Doing Good Work.

Under the guard of Barney Collins
the prisoners who are serving SEN
fences in the county Jail are now being
worked on the county roads near the

have been completed the prisoners are
to be turned over to the city authOri-

We are very much pleased with the

break into the county Jail so that we
could put them on the roads to work. y

The Servian Regicide.

Safely sheltered under the wings of
the American Eagle-God bless that
dear old bird-we all locked our front
doors and slept the sweet sleep of the
protected last Thursday night, while
in Servia it took but twelve minutes of
our dreaming time to stamp out a dy-
nasty.
Just think of those two human be-
ings hunted down and killed like rats
in a hole, with only two or three faith
full ones to offer even an objection, and
those few moved down as ruthlessly as
one cuts off grass bladesl Think of
the brothers of the wretehed Queen
Draga shot down over their cigarettes
simply because they were relatives,
and the sisters exiled and glad to es-
cape with their livesl
1t sounds like the bloody tales of
Stanley Weyman, or the adventures of
Captain Macklin, and one has to pinch
himself to realize that it really hap
pened and is no fanciful tale.
Such things might be in darkest
Africa or on a lonely South Sea island,
but in civilized communities it does
not seem possible.
No matter how corrupt that king
and that queen, they should not have
been murdered. They could have been
driven forth TO earn their living by
the sweat of their brows, or go hungry
in strange lands.
There is no government like re-
public, anyhow.
The blood of royalty is so impure
from intermixture, and the brains SO
weak from idle, vicious living that it
would be hard to find one among the
whole European lot able to run good
American cattle ranch, if left to de-
pend entirely upon his own resources.
One can not blame the people of
Servia for not wanting such rulers as
Alexander and Draga, but one stands
agast at the cold blooded, matter-of-
SOhloC vi liiCs VIC
Americans don't kill our dogs so wan
tonly.
1t seems to be somewhat on the
Mother Eve order, though, for we read
that the Servians blame the woman
for all the trouble. He wouldn't have
been so bad if the woman hadn't made
him SO.
We hear of kingly men just like that
in Reno every day! The taking of hui
man life must act as an intoxicant,
and cry for more.
Our half of the world, truly, does
not know how the other half lives.
We pause with horror when we hear
how some of them die.
Do we appreciate the blessing in
America? Let us shout for the Amer
lean Eagle now and until the hour of
our death, Amen.-Reno Journal

The Cloudburst at Heppner.

One of the most horrible disasters in
the history of the State of Oregon oc-
Cured last Sunday evening, June Il,
in the town of Heppner, which is stu
ated in the northern part of the State,
near Portland. The town was more
than half destroyed by cloudburst
and about 500 lives were lost. The fl
nancial loss is approximately estimat-
ed at $1,000,0 900, and $50 of the best
residences were carried away by the
raging torrent. Everything was
swept before the rush of the flood.
People were caught in their homes and
forced to crawl out on the roofs Then
as the house moved down the stream
they caught on to trees and hung there
until morning, when they were res
cued. The depot was left standing,
also two warehouses containing two
and one-half million pounds of wool.
One of the most thrilling adventures
was that of Tom Shutter, who, with his
family, was carried down the stream
in his house for mile and half His
wife and two children stayed in the
upper rooms. Below town the house
was shot across the current to the west
side, where it lodged in debris $50
yards from the canyons bank. Shutter
then took his two little ones on his
shoulder and swan 200 yards in the
boiling current, contending with OBJ
structions. He landed the children
and then struck out after his wife and
rescued her safely
Among other incidents of the terri
BILE catastrophe was the saving of
three lives by Julius Keithly, 70 years
old, who rode a mile and half on the
roofs of houses and pulled in three
people from the flood.

DIR. Nicholas Sen, one of the five
American delegates to the Information
al Medical Congress at Madrid, says
that war in the near future will lose a
large share of it's horrors by the uni
versal adoption of an antiseptic dress
ing for gunshot wounds. The new
method of treating wounds provides
for an immediate application of an an
tiseptic which prevents infection, and
is boon to humanity. 1t should be
adopted by the police and fire depart
ments of cities and by the armies of
the world
Since its use in the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and in the Philippines this de-
vice has been greatly simplified and by
its use on the battlefield wonderful re-
suits in preventing mortality are OBJ
tanned.

Churchill Irrigation.

For the past three months the canal
line from the Truekee to the Carson
river has been mapped out and now
bids are invited for the construction of
this big ditch, which means so much
to the people of Churchill county. The
canal takes out of the Truckee river
about nine miles above Wadsworth
and flows to the Carson in Churchill
county. This canal is thirty-one miles
in length and runs the entire distance
through arid lands. In addition to
the canal there will be two supple
mental storage reservoirs covering an
area of 5000 acres each. The canal and
water stores will irrigate 100000 acres
of what is now unproductive land in
Churchill county. One of the reser-
voirs will be Immediately above the
Carson Sink, on ground that is not of
value at present for agricultural pur-
poses.
The other is between Fort Churchill
and Dayton on what is known as Aka
Ii Flat. This reservoir will take in a
portion of the Vale ranch, which is
owned by +. G. Newlands. The
ground owned by individuals which is
needed for this irrigation system is
bought by the government. In the
case of the Vale ranch the land used
for the reservoir site is not productive.

General Miles is receiving great
deal of harsh criticism from Republican
sources for his report about the condi-
ton of affairs in the Philippine Islands,
wherein he claims that the war is not
ended by long shot, and finds that
extreme cruelty has been practiced on
the natives by some officers. The Re-
publican papers seem to believe that
the party will lose some votes on ac-
count of the report, and of course, any
man who will cause the party to lose
votes deserves the severest condem-
nation. The party does not seem to be
sorry it is SO, but they are very sorry
Miles said it is so. 1t is an entirely
new philosophy, with the Republican
party as its parent, that man who
exposes Republican criminal is worse
than the criminal.
