The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
enc dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive ure now known 10
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con

Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation OF the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the

A BIG LAWSUIT.
Carson Valley Farmers to Be
Sued by Daytonites.

7hOulCt DlS HIlSdiOH Sull Will SOOn
be before the courts. ]. M. Douglass of
the city will shortly bring suit against
the Carson Valley ranchers to enjoin
them from further diversion Of the
water in the Carson river. The suit
will be instituted on behalf Of the
Douglass mill at Dayton. which pro-
perry is lying idle on account OF the
lack of motive power.
A previous decision granted the land
owners Of Carson Valley the use OF a
portion Of the river water for a part of
the year. The irrigation season is sup
posed to be over on October /, and the
use of the water after that date puts
the farmer in contempt of court. This
year the water has not been turned in
to the river bed. and several industries
have been paralyzed as a consequence,
notably the Brun,wick mill, near En-
pire. the Douglass mill at Dayton, and
Como electric plant. The Brunswick
mill would have been in operation long
ago on Comstock ore but for a lack of
water power.
In addition the ranchers below Day
ton have suffered severely during the
past season. The river has been al
most dry during the past summer, and
hardly enough water has been available
for the use Of live stock.
The Carson river, as It flows through
the valley Of that name is a splendid
stream, but when it reaches Dayton 1t
does not amount to- the proportions of a
brook. There is a wilful and criminal
waste Of the waters by the ranchers of
the upper valley. One large land
owner has declared that he would not
allow any water to pass his property
and he has almost made his threat
coed.
A vast amount of water is used to
reclaim land. On the Dangberg
ranches levees are built around thous-
ands Of acres Of sage brush land and
large marshes and lakes are thus
created. The water is thus used for
two or three years. The saeebrush is
thereby rotted, and the bark and leaves
are deposited on the surface Of the
ground. The whole area is then
ploughed and sown to alfalfa. The
operation is constantly repeated, and it
is easy to compute the immense vol
ume of water required for this purpose.
No rule Of law or equity will allow
the use Of the entire stream, and the
action will be brought to compel the
ranchers Of the upper valley TO respect
the rights Of those who own land farth-
er down the river, some Of whomhave
prior rights. The suit will be an inter
esting one. The Dangbergs will pro-
baby be made the principal defend
ants. 1t is thought that other ranchers
below Dayton will join issues with Mr..
Douglass later on. The case will be
one Of the hottest legal fights in the
state as both the principal parties are
repated millionaires. and 1t will partake
Of the nature Of a struggle for existence
of a community in distress against one
in opulence Chronicle.

Late in the fall, before the ponds freeze
over for winter, these small fish seek the
shoal coves along the shores and deposit
their eggs in the sand to be Matched dur
ing the winter in spots SO near the ice
that larger fish cannot reach them. At
such times the small fishes are wholly
careless Of the approach of man, and may
be dipped by thousands in fine hand nets.
Believing there was money to be made
in selling bait, the Carr girls. began their
work a year ago, and last winter cleared
more than $500 above expenses, This
year they have built a large tank near a
running stream and stocked it with more
than a million fish, all of which they ex-
pect to sell before spring. ~ J.
The total investment made by the Carr
girls up to date does not exceed $3.50 for
water pipes, tank and nets. and they ex-
pect to realize fully $1,000 from sales OF
their fish.

GIRLS RUN A BAIT FARM
Two Maine Sisters Have Found Novel
Way of Making
Money!.

Every day when the mail stage starts
for Bangor and Ellsworth it carries on the
rack behind a large flat tank filled with
live bait caught and put on it's way to
market by Miss Evelyn Carr and Miss Ann
Carr, two sisters. who arc trying to get
living by an employment new to women.
All attempts to grow minnows, red fins
and mummy clubs artihcially having
failed, the fishermen Of Massachusetts rely
upon Maine for the bait they use. and the
increased call for small fish suitable for
catching pickerel through the ice has
raised the price until there is profit in
making shipments Of clubs and stickle
backs to distant points.

EXPECTED TO FIND coUNTRYMEN
What Reassured a Hesitating Canadian
Visitor

IT hesitated some about coming to the
United States" said H. H. Dean Of To-
ronto, Canada, at the New Willard. with a
merry twinkle in his eye, land while was
debating 1 read a story that made it easy
to make up my mind to come.
You see was not sure what kind Of
reception 1 would receive. I thought they
might make it unpleasant for me in some
way: still 1t seemed I should find some of
my countrymen here, and I was convinced
of that when 1 read the story I shall re-
late. 1t appeared that an Irishman had
lost his job and was suffering for the ne
cessities of life, so he applied to the man
ager of a museum. He was informed that
the only thing he could be given to do was
to don the skin Of a lion that had died
few days before and take its place in the
cage. He accepted the JOB. Just before
the performance started the manager got
up next to his cage and said: Ladies and
gentlemen, to show you all animals do not
fight when put together l will now have
the lion go into the cage Of the lioness,'
and he opened the door for Pat to enter.
Holy mither. said Pat. DO you want
me to get ate up?
Go in or I'll run this pitchfork into
you,' said the fellow.
We'll. Pat made up his mind he might
as well die there as any other time. so he
entered the cage. He was crying and
sniveling, and he was sure he could. see
a dangerous glitter in the lioness eye.
This made him tremble and shake like
leaf until he heard a voice say, 'Aw, what's
the matter wild We? Quit your sniveling.
I'm Irish too
You see we came from the same family,
and this story made it easy to look for a
reception like Pats when 1 arrived here

BOOTH TARK1NaroN's SPEECH.
An Elaborate Literary Encomium of
Senator Fairbanks.

One Of the interesting features Of the re-
election Of Senator Fairbanks at Indianap-
oils Tuesday was the maiden speech Of
Booth Harrington, who placed the senator
In nomination in the house. The noted au-
thor's campaign speeches were brief and
not brilliant, and there was much curiosity
to gee how he would acquit himself. He
was gracefully recognized by the speaker
es 1.-THE Gentleman from Indiana" and was
received with great applause, much to his
surprise and embarrassment. He quickly
regained his composure and spoke with
ease, but with NO attempt at oratorical
effort His voice was strong enough to be
heard in all parts Of the chamber His
words were evidently carefully selected, but
there was not the ring Of the politician
about them. He had prepared his speech as
he might have prepared similar speech
for one OF his characters In i,is 'sGentieman
from Indiana" His remarks consumed AZ
teen minutes and there was almost an en-
core, 30 great was the applause at the close.
Most Of the speech was combined to elabo-
rate literary and historical encomiums OF
the nominee. The only abstract paragraph
gives good idea Of the whole, as follows:
1t II q truism that no word has been
more misused than greatness. The spe-
ciaitst misuses It: an entymologist calls

mancers misuse the word, and even the

capac city Tor crime, have merely achieved
criminal personal ambitions, like Alexander
and Napoleon. 1t Is the modern spirit that
proclaims such appellation misusage. for.
more and more, men have grown toward a
fulness first Of aH-service, ideal Of Chris
tianity and Of common sense, spurned and
despised in the darkness Of the militant
middle ages. and by the poetic and cruel.
ly and eyitably approaches its aggrandize-
ment."
