TO TAKE THE
MARRIAGE VOW
Robert l. Douglass and niss
Eleanor Er st to Be Welded
In Reno Next Month.

On the tenth of next month
Robert L. Douglass and Miss
Eleanor Nj. Ernst, both of this
county, will take the vows that
will make them husband and
wife. The marriage ceremony
will probably take place in the
parlors of the Riverside Hotel.
Owing to the recent death of
Mr.. Douglass Uncle. the wedding
will be strictly private affair.
Mr.. Douglass. or Bob" as he
is familiarly called, is q young
man of sterling worth and ranks
as one of the wealthiest young
men in Nevada. His gentleman
ly course in life and his careful
consideration for the feelings OF
others less favored in worldly
affiuence have made for him q
large circle of friends who will
wish him all the blessings of a
happy and successful married
career.
Miss Ernst is the youngest
daughter of Senator Ernst. She
is the possessor of a charming
personality and many accom-
plishments. Her friends number
by all who know her. In CON-
pany with her mother, she is
now in San Francisco selecting
her wedding trousseau.
After the wedding ceremony
the young couple will depart for
San Francisco, where they will
spend their honeymoon. They
will make their future home on
the Douglass property near
Falion.

Shorty" Schweikrt, the pop
ular sport, was offered a hand
some sum this week for his
pointer dog, called Spot" and
had about concluded to dispose
of the canine when someone
called the intending purchaser
by name. 1t was Levy, and
after that it was all off. 1t
seems that the dog has no re-
spect fer any kind of meat ex-
cept pork chops, and Shorty
would take no chances on seeing
his dog get any the worst of it.

BUILDING BOOM
NEAR AT HAND
Fallon Is Destined To Become
One Of the Largest Cities In
the state Of Nevada.

It il bat the matter OF a few
weeks, or until the necessary
amount of lumber can be pro-
cured, that the building boom ii
Fallon viii commence.
Dalrymple & Wildes, the con-
tractors, have been awarded
contracts for the erection of
Commissioner Small's residence
and the same firm will al o erect
a modern dwelling on the Doug
lass ranch. This is but a starter.
Within very short time SEN
ator Ernst viii begin work on
his new home, and the Williams
Co.. q : reported, will replace
their wooden structure on Main
strcet by a substantial stoae
building. Several i.omes are to
be erected ON the Verplank cd
dition as soon as the ma ttrial
can be procured. A bank is to
be erected the coming sprin :, as
well as the Union church. DR..
Gardner will remodel the build
ing recently purchased by him.
and a number of our citizens
will soon commence the erection
of homes for their families.
At the present time there is an
urgent demand for homes. Last
week we had a number of in
quiries regarding the renting of
homes. and to a man with the
necessary capital it would be a
gilt edge investment to at once
commence the erection of .s-
licences. Rents could be had
which in a short time would pay
for the expenditure.
The leveling OF lots continues
steadily and nearly as fast as
cleared they are sold. Within
the past year q man could have
more than tripled his invest
ment in town property, aud an
investment now can be doubled
within the coming year. Sena-
tor Williams has disposed of a
large number of desirable resi-
dence and business lots, and
during the past week c. W. Ver-
plank has sold over twenty lots
in his tract, all but one lot in
Block A being disposed of. In
fact, the ground for a distance
of one-half mile square is near
ly all taken up.
Fallon's progress cannot be
STOPPED, and it is conservative
to predict that FIVE years hence
it will be one of the leading
towns of Nevada aud will rank
third in population.

ballot as a nominee for State Super
intendent of Public instruction

The problem Of living on a few cents
a day is not SO difficult Of solution II
one cares to limit oneself TO the actual
necessuries For instance, we could
point to the workers IN the turpentine
forests. who labor hard from sun TO
sun on bill Of fare that costs not
more than or cents per meal The
average ruton Of turpentine hand"
IN the woods per week IS Eve pounds
of bacon or pork, one peck Of corn
meal one quart OF molasses and a
pint OF salt The value OF this ration
is about 81 10 S110.
The real problem, then, is not really
how cheaply may one live, but how
many of the extras of eating one is
willing to DO without. Savannah

ONLY ONE MORE DAY
FOR PAYING TAXES
More Than One Million Dollars Re-
mains to Be Collected To-Mor-
row on First InStalIment

Tomorrow will be the last day for
the collection of the first installment
OF taxes on real property. At p. m.
sharp they will become delinquent and
15 per cent penalty will be added after
that time.
Tax Collector Smith reports that
taxpayers were more dilatory this year
than any previous year in settling with
the city. He calculates that there is
still more than $1,O00,000 to be col
lected Monday. but he is prepared
with extra facilities to take in the
money with no delays, as he will have
seven cashiers to do the work. His
clerks have been working day and
night to accommodate property-own
ers. Yesterday the United Railroads
paid 100000 in taxes, protesting,
however, against the levy for the bond
issue. It was these protests that
caused the delay in collections.
