The ThourhtfuI storls.

On a tree close to a house within a
short distance to the river or canal
there was storks' nest with young
ones. The roof of the house caught
fire one day. and. though the flames
did not actually reach the tree, the
beat became scorching. So the mother
stork flew down to the water. got into
it and drenched her breast; then. re-
turning to her young. she spread the
mass of cool. wet feathers all over
them. This she repeated over and over
again. flying to the river, going down
into the water and returning. her plum
age drenched with wet. And thus
the nest was saved. and the tender
nestlings were preserved alive until the
fire had been got under control and all
was safe. The truth of this remarka-
BILE story was vouched for by more
than one eyewitness.

NEW CREAMERY FOR VEL
LINGTON.
A Ready Market for the Nevada
Product.

This section of Nevada seems to be
giving a great deal of attention to
dairying and butter making of late
years. There is hardly valley that
does not possess a creamery, and in
many instances the farmers own their
own separators, and in fact, conduct a
creamery.
The first real demonstration of the
success of the creamery was in Carson
Valley. The farmers took hold and
raised badly managed affair into a
paying institution, and to-day the
Douglas county creamery leads as they
ship direct to California and half of
the demand is not supplied. There is
no trouble hunting custom, as the
stamp, douglas Butter" sells it at the
highest rate in the market.
When it was found that a creamery
would pay, a number of individual
farmers concluded to try the plan.
Mr.. Yori adopted the system and has
m lde a success of it. lie was followed
by a number of others in the same sec
ton, and in every instance, the farmer
who has turned his attention to scien-
tific butter making, has made a success.
\ short time ago Mr. Ames, of Smith
Valley, started creamery on his own
hook, and to-day he has a call for but
ter that cannot be supplied. He, like
Others, has found that it pays better to
turn his alfalfa into butter, than to sell
to the foreign buyers, who come in and
take the stacks for winter feed
Another creamery has been started
in the past few days near Wellington,
and with the same management that
has been given the others, it will net
the interested parties a good profit.
At Lake Tahoe last year number OF
enterprising dairymen and farmers
maintained a creamery, and all of the
butter made was shipped to Placerville
and found sale as soon as landed. 1t
seems strange to go into a place like
the Bartons maintain and see the old
fashioned milk pan kicking around
b EEK of the barn and no skimming and
other bothers to contend with. The
milk goes into the separators and in a
few minutes cream is to be had. This
Is followed by immediate ehurning and
the work is done in the forenoon
1t is the same in all of the places,
and the wonder is that more of the
farmers of Nevada do not turn their
attention to butter manufacture, as it
receives a market that demands all
that can be produced and the name of
Nevada butter brings it a top price in
every market in which it is offered
Appeal.

Standard and Larboard

The Italians derived "starboard''
from questa borda, this side" and
cardboard" from quella borda, which
means that side" Abbreviated these
two phrases appear as sta borda and la
borda. Their close resemblance caused
so many mistakes that the admiralty
ordered the "larboard" TO be discon-
tinued and port" substituted. Port
for "larboard" lis said to be first used
in Arthur Pitts Voyages" in 1850.

suit will probably be the hottest con-
tested water right suit ever tried in
this State. 1t involves the rights of
over fifty farmers in Smith and Mason
valleys and over fifty respondents will
have to be represented. Monday the
farmers delegation visited Carson and
made the first move towards tile suit
that involves their water rights. /, The
suit takes in every farmer above the
Miller & Lux holdings. Tom Hickey is
named as one of the defendants, and
others who have for nearly half CEN
fury maintained ditch rights and taken

SKYLIeHT PASSENGER is HURT
Tramp Drops from d to Top of
Passenger Coach and
Rolls on.

Joe Golden, a professional wanderer, SUI
fered a broken wrist Tuesday night while
attempting to drop from the Tenth street
viaduct to the top Of q Pullman car on
Burlington train No. 10. westbound, which
leaves here at 11:10. The train had Just
passed under the dripping spout Of a water
tank. and the tramp struck an Icy spot
on the top of his car and slipped of, fall
ing to the ground. He struck on the next
track and fractured several bones in his
wrist. He went to the hospital and had
his injuries attended, and is now at large
again.
The viaduct is not Ear above the roofs
Of the trains at the Burlington end. and It
is a simple trick to make a n exit from
the city by such methods. Golden said he
was going to Ashland. He was wearing
three suits Of clothes and two overcoats
to keep from freezing to death on the
way there. He also had the usual tramp's
rope, with which to tie himself to the
piping on top Of the car. so that he would
not fall on II he became numb with the
cold.
