WATER FAMINE
THREATENED
Water SCdrCer Now Than 1t
Was One Month Later
Last Summer

1t is feared that a water famine
may be upon Winnemucca before the
not weather is over; if there is not
an absolute insufficiency of water, it
is certain that there will be a scarcity
which is bound to be te-t. 1t will be
necessary to economize to the last de-
gree, and from the present indica-
tions even this does not insure to all
the water actually needed.
Superintendent Akin stated this
morning that the supply of water
available was noticeably less now
than it was in the latter part of
August last year. and it will be re-
membered last summer was a record
breaker in this respect. Truly, "a
condition and not a theory confronts
us.
While the desire to use all the water
necessary to make the lawns aud trees
that are the pride of man. Winnie
muccans grow and become beautiful
is but natural. the supply should not
be taken to an extent that deprives
neighboring consumers of water for
drinking purposes and household use.
The greatest menace comes from
those who will not heed the request
to refrain from using the water for
irrigating purposes during the night
Out of over 100000 gallons in the res
ervoir late last night. hardly enough
remained this morning to cover the
bottom of the basin. Superintendent
Akin states that unless the night ir-
rigation discontinues, he will be
obliged to shut off the supply from
the entire town except in the day
time.
1t has become necessary to include
Railroad street in those from which
the water is shut off between the
hours Of II noon and 8 p. M, and p.
M to a. M, beginning with today.

The operation ended with the little
girl to all appearances, dead. Her
heart had ceased to beat and her pulse

Schen resolved upon extraordinary
remedies as a forlorn hope. although
everybody present thought the girl
dead.
Hot salt solutions were prepared at
11o degrees Fahrenheit. Two gallons
of solution were used in the patient
stomach. The tuid was applied to the
exposed organs. Then a vein was
opened in one of the little arms and
a pint and a half Of the hot solution
injected. Besides, all recognize,

PROPERTY TO
HISSUCCESSOR
Pope's Will Opened and Read
Church Will be His Real
Beneficiary

Rome, July 24.-From sunrise yes
terday until sunset thousands of per-
sens passed before the bier of Leo
XIII, lying in state in the basilicia OF
st Peters. 1t was originally intended
that this opportunity to view the re-
mains should run through three days,
but tonight the press learns that it is
likely to be curtailed and that the fun
eral may be held on Friday instead
of Saturday night owing to the evil
dcnce that decomposition is setting in.
Tnis is. due to today's severe heat.
from which no embalming could per-
feotly protect the body.
The will CT the dead pope was open
ell at today's meeting of the congre-
cation of cardinals. 1t consists oil
tt tirty-six pages in the handwriting of
Leo XIII, and leaves all of the prop
erty CT which he died possessed to
his successor for the use of the church.
To each member of his family he
leaves a present, to be chosen from
the valuable objects in his apart
ment. Similar presents are benueath-
ed to his physicians. The tota
an cunt of the property which he left
is not yet known.
The impression of those who today

ttrse pity combined with a certain
sense of horror. The body was tilted
up on TIE eatafalaue in order that all
might see the terribly shrunken face
An ordinary skull in a frame of god
lying in the midst CT a mass of red
rCbes could scarcely have been more

Except at sunrise. when the crus
threatened a panic, all those who
wished it had entrance to ST. Peters
During the day many of those who
passed in stopped before the cata-
falque to say quiet prayer. Hundreds
of women. and even some of the men,
carried children in their arms.
An important political factor was in
troduced into the ceremony by the en-
trance into ST. Peters of Italian SOL
diers, who remained there throughout
the day to preserve order. Their pres,
eDce there in such a capacity, unpre-
cedented in the history of modern

the consent, if not by the desire, of
the Vatican authorities that they en-

NEWS FROM
EVERYWHERE

ent at this time that there will be q
marked increase in the valuation of
real estate in Humboldt county for
this year, but that the valuation OF
livestock and personal property will
show a decrease. Whether the in
crease in real estate values will be
sufficiently large to Offset the falling
off in personal property, he is not able
to determine until the work is COM
pleted.
There are three reasons for this
decrease in the valuation of personal
pl operty," Mr.. Guthrie stated this
morning. "The first is. that on ac-
count Of last year being so dry and
the crops light, many stockmen were
afraid of an unusually hard winter,
and sold off great many of their
sheep and cattle where they would not
have sold under other conditions. In
the second place, large numbers of
LOtH CdItle anu SHeep were Of1VeH
across the line into Oregon and Idaho
especially from the northern part of
the county. The third reason is that
the losses Of stock due to the severity
of the weather last winter was very
laIge-much larger than was first re.
ported or are generally thought to
have been sustained. The heaviest
losses came late in the season, partic-
ularly in the big storms of February
the young stock suffered most.
"All of the cattle and sheep that
have gone out Of the county since the
first Monday in March have been as
sessed, and will show on the rolls
for this year, but those that were
taken out before that date will, of
course, not be included The greater
portion of the stock that has been
