Betting On the Munroe and
 Limerick Battle.

Munroe Is Now Quoted as q Favorite
 Jimmy Briggs Finds an Easy
 Mark-Jeffries Agrees to Meet Cor bett-Tommy White Whips Tony
 Moran.
 Al Limerick, who ruled favorite in the betting over Jack Munroe in Buff falo last week. has taken a drop, and the odds are now in favor of the man from Butte. The cause of this change is due to the large amount of Munroe money in Buffalo. Limerick is train ing i'll New York. He said last night he would enter the ring at PIP pounds. He is leaving nothing undone to be ill the best possible shape for the go. ORourke is daily becoming more con- fident of the big fellows ability to get away with the western man, and says that he never had a more apt or docile pugilist under his wing than Liner ick. Munroe, besides going through his regular training every day, is ap bearing at a theater in Boston with his sparring partner, Bob Armstrong. He has a rival in another of the Hubs playhouses Champion Jim Jeffries is also giving sparring exhibitions with Joe Kennedy. Munroe is wide awake to this opportunity of going after the heavyweight champion, and challen- ges him to meet him in a twenty round fight. Munroe says if he defeats Linn ericlk he will force Jeffries to give him q match.
 Philadelphia, Dec 10--Less than four hundred fight lovers journeyed to the National Athletic club last night expecting to see a bout between Jim- my Briggs of Boston and Sammy Smith of this city. Smith refused to go on owing to the scarcity of money in the box office and Kid Stein was found as an opponent for Briggs.
 Stein recently gave Young Corbett a rattling battle here and the small gathering of sports expected to see him make it warm for Briggs.
 They were, however, doomed to dis appointment for Stein was never in the contest. after the first round Briggs got the Philadelphian's meas ure early in the second round and from then until the fourth punmeled his man good and plenty. Stein was Knocked down a dozen times and went down to avoid punishment as many more.- Just after the commencement of the fourth round, Stein, after being put to the floor twice. began looking for q soft spot to lie on and the ref cree stopped it.
 Briggs fought whirlwind fight and was biz, Improvement over the man he was on the occasion of his initial appearance here a week ago.

FRAUDULENT MINE PROMOTION.


In these days when SO many
mining stocks are being offered to
investors it would be both unwise
and untrue to say that most of
them are frauds, and should be let
alone There are many ways in
which those contemplating invest
ment in mines, but who are un-
familiar with mines and mining
methods, may get reliableinforma-
ton concerning the particular
stock offered them. The state
ments. made by some promoters, in
some of the numerous prospeC-
fuses, are so palpably false as TO
require no comment, as the at
tempted deceit is readily recogniz-
ed by mining men, but the mex
perienced are the easy victims of
these unprincipled men with their
fake schemes. The language em-
ployed by some promoters in their
prospectuses bears the stamp of
honesty, and even cautions invest
ors against being duped by false
representations. Certain para
graphs give ostensibly scientific
descriptions of the rocks and geo
logical formations. These sound
we'll to the uninitiated, but the
blunders in phraseology and ortho-
graphy at once pronounce the
writer of them as pfetender, for
there are few qualified mining
engineers who will lend themselves
to swindling schemes of the de-
scription noted. The words of
caution" found in these fake pros
pectuses would be amusing if it
were not for the mischief they are
calculated to work.
d. A great many newly organized
companies place the capital stock
in the millions when the property
is in its early stage of development,
worth only few thousand at most.
The capitalization is not based
upon values, but is fanciful, and
dividing the stock into a large
number of shares makes it seem
cheap to the would be investor. If
the property has the elements of
4 profit in it when equipped and
managed it will pay; and if it pays
a net profit at all it will pay it on
capitalization of several million
dollars as we'll as on one of few
thousand. Placing the par value
of the stock at a. high figure does
not make the stock worth more,
nor less. That there is, or can be,
any real connection between the
actual value of a mine and its cap
italization is a delusion, and where
the promoter undertakes to demon
strate that there is such connection,
particularly in partially devel-
oped mine, the connection is
merely fanciful. "Overcapitaliza-
ton is dangerous" This is true of
industrial enterprises more than of
mining concerns, but is not nearly
so dangerous as exaggerated state
ments of value of ore in sight

VALUE or FARMERS INSTITUTE.
An Interesting Article Taken From the Uni.
versity Bulletin.


Colleges and Experiment Stations
are potent factors in the advance
ment of science in agriculture, and
it is safe to say that no department
of their work is more effective, and
productive of more direct results
than that of Farmers Institutes.
While comparatively new in
this State, they have been carried
on for number of years in eastern
States and for some time in our
sister State of California. 1t has
been the history of the work in
every State that, when first begun
in any section, it was looked upon
with indifference, coldness and
even suspicion, but that as soon as
the farmers have realized what
these institutes are and what their
aim is, there has been a demand
for them. In most of the eastern
States and in California, today, the
demand for these meetings is so
great that the farming interests
have forced legislative appropria-
tons of large amounts to carry on
the work.
The Farmers Institute is in its
infancy in Nevada, for it was but
little over a year ago that the
first institute ever held in this
State was held at Elko, and proved
great success. Others have been
held at Gardnerville and Love
locks and still other dates are on
the calendar. We have met the
same difficulty that other States
! have met before us-nOt coldness
and feeling of suspicion, in our
case, however, but lack of know
ledge of what and why of the In
stitutes AS result our first au-
dienCes have not been large, but
this was to be expected. Each
succeeding session of an Institute
brought larger audience than had
attended the proceeding session;
! for as farmers learned the object,
and something of the benefits to
be derived from the discussion they
GLADLY attend the meetings, so that
at the final session of an Institute
we spoke to a full house-one of
the first things we have met is
going ito teach the ranchers how
to ranch" And the tinge of irony
with which this is said is very no
ticeable. This idea is one of the
things which initiate against the
Institutes. Our first duty has
| therefore been to show the farmers
that it is not our purpose to pose
as "know ALL" but that we are
carrying on this work for mutual
advancement-that we go to the
| farmer, because he has not the
time to come to us; that we are
there to talk over the great agri-
cultural problems, to exchange
ideas; and that we expect to re-
ceive from these meetings as much
as we give. The results of this
work in Nevada are already ap
parent in many ways. The EX-
pertinent Station is being brought
] into closer contact with those for
whose benefit Congress endows it.
The station staff are meeting the
agricultural conditions as they ex-
ist, and are thus enabled to carry
on their work in a much more sat
isfactory manner, As we gain the
confidence of the farming commu-
mites of the State, the work will
be far more effective, and we shall
be able to perfect scientific agri-
culture and place it upon the high
plane which it occupies in, othar
and older States.

1t is told as a true story that
John Chapman, of Galena, Kan,
fell down a twenty foot tramway
at the Blind Tiger mine and dis
located his shoulder. He went
home and stumbled down the eel
lar steps and in falling his shoulder
was thrown back in place. He
took a drink and returned to work.

doois leading to the royal apartments
were blown in by dynamite, Colonel
Naumovics, himself, bursting in the
door of the royal bed chamber with a
bomb.
The officers had called on the king
to open, but he had CURLY refused.
AS the door fell the king rushed to a
window and appealed for assistance,
but no answer came. Realizing the sit
uation he returned to the queen, hold.
ing her in his arms to protect her, and
awaited the conspirators. Naumovics
and the officers then entered the room.
Naumoyics presented to the king a
form of abdication for his signature.
The document contained the statement
that by marrying a public prostitute"
the king had degraded Servia and that
he must abdicate.

Ho4g Trees Cool the Air.

We think Of a tree as cooling agent
because it's shade protects us from the
heat Of the sun, but it cOOlS the air in
another way that is not generally
known; III fact, it cools the air around
it as a lump Of ice c0ols a vessel of
water.
The tree has a body temperature Of
about 45 degrees, just as we have
a body temperature of IS degrees,
which is not affected by outside indu-
ences. 1t is the trees blood heat, so
to speak. So that the air around it is
cooled by the tree itself as we'll as by
the shade it makes.
When a tree in full leaf is struck by
a strong wind we wonder that it is not
torn all to pieces. And SO it would be
but for the way the limbs and twigs
are arranged by nature. That arrange
ment is such that the effect of the
wind is broken, for the limbs sway and
move in a hundred directions instead
Of one, and the force Of the blast is so
scattered that it is comparatively
harmless.
If the limbs all moved at once in the
same direction no tree could escape
being torn apart

A Dangerous Innovation.

Deacon Carter could remember the
days when the minister lined out the
hymn and the congregation sang it.
Although he had long been too feeble
to go to church, his opinions still found
their way to the people.
1--WE shall have some good organ
playing this summer" an unWary Wis
itor remarked to the deacons daughter
in the old mans hearing. THAT
teacher from Boston is going to play
every Sunday while Annie Trumbull
is off taking vacation"
The deacon raised his stick and his
quavcring voice at the same time.
You send for the minister to come
here and see me, Daughter Mary" he
said as clearly as he could. Il won't
have such goings on! A musician
playing on that organ! Let 'em so
without till Annie Trumbull gets home
again"

The Canary's Claws.

If you have a canary or other cage
bird look to its claws from time to time,
for in a state of captivity the birds
nails grow so long that they need cut
ting. If this be neglected the bird is in
danger of getting it's nails caught in the
cage and hanging there till it dies. Use
a sharp pair of nail scissors and take
care not to cut more than just the
tips of the nails If you hold the bird
in a good light you will see little red
thread in each nail. This you must
avoid or you will draw blood and hurt

Bradbury, a Portland travelling man,
has arrived here. He said: ''As near
as could be estimated $50 to 200 lives
were lost in the terrible flood which
swept down Willow creek. The creek,
which o. dinarily is ten feet wide and
six inches deep, in less than ten min
utes was 400 feet wide and 20 feet
deep. The wall Of water could be
seen coming down the gulch, but it
rushed with such rapidity that the
stricken inhabitants had not time to
get out of its path.
''Brick and frame buildings were
whirled down stream for two miles,
and many bodies were found along the
bank. The residence portion suffered
most. The Heppner hotel was carried
standing, though the water covered
the first floor. r. D. Ball rushed into
the torrent and rescued Mrs. Eliza
beth Matlock, but her husband. James
Matlock, persisted John A. Herman,
the o. r. and n. agent wired the news
