BUSINESS COLLEGE
Biennial Catalogue of Ogden
School of Note

The Silver State is in receipt of the
biennial catalogue for 1903 of the
Inter Mountain Business College and
Shorthand School, located in Ogden,
1863 Twenty-fourth street in business
block recently purchased and now be-
ing remodeled for the exclusive use of
the institution named. James A Smith,
A. NJ, NJ. S., is president of the fac
ulty, lecturer in commercial law and
political economy, and instructor in
commercial arithmetic, theory of ac-
counts and practical business.
The Inter Mountain Business Col
lege was opened in September, 1891,
with an enrolment of but seven pupils
The growth of the school has been
constant and the advance very salts
factory.
The course of instruction has been
extended to cover every branch of in
struction needed by the young man or
young woman who desires to enter
into active business life. Numerically,
the school has become strong and
self-reliant, enrolling last year 173 and
graduating AZ pupils.
1t is the aim of the school to take
students who have already acquired
at least fair English education and
fit them for actual business nfe, and
only such branches as are necessary
to reach this end are taught.
No time of the student is wasted -
theoretical work or in acquiring any
but on the contrary, 1t is the aim to
concentrate all efforts on just those
subjects that every young person must
know and know we'll. and be able to
use, if he wuld succeed in business.
Pupils should have fair common
school education before enterinP
school, but If deficient in some of the
branches they can make them up.
The more proficient in the common
branches the shorter the time neces
sary to complete the business or
shorthand course. Students not pre-
pared to enter either course may at
tend and pursue the English course
until such time as they are fitted to
take up either the bushes or short
hand course. Such students will be
admitted at special rates of tuition
As almost all of the instruction is in
dividual, studets may enter at any
time, but it is better to enter at the
beginning of the month.
A request for a prospectus will be
favored with prompt reply, stating
terms of tuition, cost or living and
any other information desired

YACHT RACE is
NEAR AT HAND
Final touches Are Being Given
the Reliance and the
Shamrock III

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Charles ID.
Mower. measurer of the New York
Yacht club, is the man around whom
the entire interest of Erie Basin will
be centered today. His task of pass
ing the steel tape over the challenger
for and defender of the Americas cup
will be the feature that, for the time
being, will overshadow the presence oS
Sir Thomas Upton and c. Oliver Is
elm alike. The interesting operation
will be performed early in the after
noon.
The difference in the actual sail
ing length of the two boats has at
tracted widespread interest and var
ious experts have severally informed
the public that the difference between
the two racers will be from one tC
three minutes over three-mile course.
Mr.. Mower has announced his in
tention OF measuring the Reliance
first after which he will devote his
attention to the cup-hunter. The re-
spective crews will be placed on board
amidships and Mr.. Mower will first
ascertain the water-line length. The
perpendicular and base lines of the
sail area will then be measured, from
which the amount of canvass carried
by the yachts will then be computed.
The formula is the load water line,
added to the square root of the sail
area, divided by two, will be the sail
ing length. Everything in the way OF
tonnage that will be carried aboard
the yachts during the races must be
on them while being measured, and
the conditions of the contest require
that the load water line shall not ex-
ceed forty feet.
The statement that Captain Bevis,
who has piloted the Shamrock in her
races against the challenger, would
sail on the Shamrock III, on invitation
of Captain Bob Wringe, in an advis-
ory capacity, was officially verified to-
day. 1t was also learned that Lem
Miller would handle the light sails
OH board the Reliance.
Throughout the day machinists and
workmen were busy Strengthening the
strained rudder of the Reliance.
There have not been many bets re-
corded on the yacht races as yet. The
odds of 2 to 1, though. seem to pre-
vail no longer. An instance of this
was given last night when Dick Bros.
& Co.. bankers. in Wall street, re-
ceived a commission to bet $1,000 on
the Reliance against $4,000.

ready to can; plenty of water; range
stock looking well.
Lyon-Weather hot and dry, with
more or less wind nearly every after
noon. Small ranchers cutting the
second crop of alfalfa which averages
about the same as last year On some
large ranches where the first crop was
cut late. the second crop has been al
most totally destroyed by grasshop-
pers. Water low in the river.
Ormsby-Warm and clear; highest
temperature. 80 on the 18th; lowest,
AZ on the 10th; no rain; the daily

Nye-A very uniform week with a
mean temperature of 20 degrees. Hay
all in the stack, very small yield in
excess of 1902, with very slight excess
of demand; prices are and will be the

Everybody praying for rain, not stop
ping to think that a good rain would
destroy all of the dry feed of which
there is now abundance. Irrigation
water is low, but the necessity for the
season has passed. Tramp sheep and
their tramp owners are sure to pirate
upon us the coming winter. New po-
tatoes in the market. but not enough
for the demand. at eight cents per

WAS
FAVORABLE
Grain in Nevada Is Ripening,
Harvesting Is Progress
ing Rapidly

Carson City. New. August 49,
During the past week the weather
has been warm and generally clear;
i'll the western part of the state the
mean daily temperatures averaged
about degrees below normal, with
a maximum OF 80 degrees. on the
18th, and a minimum of ~ degrees,
on the 10th.
Light showers and some hail oc-
cured in the eastern part Of the state
on the 10th and 18th. Drying winds
prevailed over most sections, causing
rapid evaporation and a shrinkage of
water in the streams and irrigating
bitches.
The weather has been exceptionally
favorable for ripening grain and for
harvest work. Reports of correspond
ents indicate that all growing crops
are making rapid and satisfactory
growth where water is ample for prop
er irrigation. Farmers are now busy
cutting the second crop of alfalfa In
the north portion with fine weather
for cutting.
In the few localities where winter
wheat is grown the crop has been
harvested and stacked in excellent
condition. Spring wheat, barley and
oats are ripening rapidly and will
soon be ready to harvest with indi-
cations for an average yield over the
entire state.
There is complaint from few To-
calities in the southeastern and the
southwestern sections that grasshop-
pers are doing considerable damage
TO the hay and vegetable crops. Corn,
potatoes and garden truck look well
and promising, according to reports
from various parts Of the state
Fruit prospects are very promising
especially apples which are abundant
and looking fine.

Work Nearly Completed

Some day this week the cutoff at
Gerald will be cut In by the Southern
Pacific company. This practically
ends the construction of the new track
between Reno and Wells. East OF
Wells the work is not quite so far
Engineer Barclay was ask
ed yesterday if the clerical force would
be removed by the company in the
near future, but Mr.. Barclay replied
in his usual non-committal manner:
Not till we are chased out OF town.
The building of the shops east of town
and the construction of the new yards
will probably keep the railroad clerks
here for a number of months.-Reno

A DEED OF HERllSM
Romantic Rescue of Young
Lady BY VaCquerO

Claude Hardy, a vaquero in the en-
ploy of the Hickey Land & Cattle COM
pany, while returning from Round VAL
lay, last Sunday, was fortunately able
to save the life of Miss Stella May

ine expedition in that section. 1t ap-
pears that Miss Maybury had mounted

ridden by a lady before. The horse
started to run and the young lady
dI opped the lines to hold on to ths
saddle, when the horse became fran
tic and dashed down the rocky road
at brekneck speed. Mr.. Hardy saw
the plight of the young lady and put
ting spurs TO his horse dashed in pur-
suit, overlook the runaway horse and
pulled the young lady from the saddlo
just as her horse plunged down
rocky bank into the lake. The young
lady tainted from her scare and was
borne to her frightened relatives by
the gallant Mr.. Hardy. Eye witnesses
of the episode are loud in their praise
of the brave act of Mr.. Hardy. who
took his life in his hands to rescue the
young lady, as the road down which
he dashed with all the speed of his
famous horse is noted for being one
of the toughest roads of the country.
With the native bashfulness of all
heroes, Mr. Hardy road away before
the young lady recovered from her
fainting spell and in fact before she
knew to whom she owed her thanks

A Plethora of Fish.

Tie run of herring during the past
few DAYS has been almost phenomenal
and, as stated yesterday, prices have
been nominal. These fish are now forg-
ing their way into creeks and runs In
this neighborhood and are easily taken.
Yesterday numbers of people living in
the neighborhood of Cameron run. a
tributary of Hunting creek, we're said to
be literally "scooping" herring at mar
row and shallow points. The fish in
certain places where the water is but two
or three inches deep were seen swimming
on their sides over the stones. This,
however, is no uncommon sight at this
time of the year, as occasionally wagons
while passing through the water at the
swinging bridge over Cameron run on
the Telegraph road crush herring which
are making their way over the stones.
Shad are more plentiful also, the gillers
who were out last night reporting fair
results. There was a noticeable stagna-
ton at Fishtown this morning, although
receipts were not so numerous as yester-
dav. A few cutters were at work and
there were still signs of life among the
hackers
