We are informed that the Emma L.
IS getting ready for mill run of very
rich ore. When this property is fully
developed We are apt to see a bononza.
Great credit is due the owners who
have staid by their prospect for years
and suffered many of the pleasures Of
life to pass by; sacrificed to their am
bition to demonstrate their faith In the
Emma LIS being a mine. Many a
less favorable prospect is receiving
development that reaches well into the
six figures.

IS THIS FAIR TO
TAXPAYERS?
County Commissioners Would
Spend Much Extra Money
to Prevent Cash From Leav-
ing Reno.

The Board Of County Commission
ers advertised for bids to do the county
nrinting and advertising for the year
1904, mentioning In the advertise
ment the same terms and conditions
under which the county printing and
advertising have been done for some
yearspast,
The DISPATCH. r. B. Hawcroft. II.
w. Patton, and the Gazette and Journ-
al as one, put in bids. The bid Of the
DIsF4Toii was lowest. as all taxpayers
and citizens may see by this article, or
In the minutes Of the Board, and lowest
BY several hundred dollars. All bids
we're rejected.
The DISPATCH did the county print
ing before. There never was a COM
plant about its work or material by
any county officer, and today there is
printed stationery in several of the
county offices which the DISPATCH did
when it had the contract year before
last OF this more anon.
The County Commissioners. In re-
ecting the bid Of the DISPATCH, show
conclusively that they want to spend
some hundreds Of dollars more Of the
peoples money than they should. that
they are extravagant to a degree
amounting to uisappropriaiion Of mon
ey that is not theirs. but is the peoples.
and they are only entrusted with IT,
that in the handling Of It they intend to
and have violated that trust.
To our mind the conjunctiye bid of
the Gazette and Journal shows collusion
Of those bidedrs to defeat honest COM
petition and it appears to US as COM
bnation the law will not sustain. The
Gazet.o Journal bid is an artful instru-
ment, but is nevertheless plain to any
printer or business man. who knows 1t
is hundreds of dollars higher than the
bid Of the DISPATCH. The DISPATCH
has had TO struggle against manifest
favoritism of commissioners who want
all the public money to stay in Reno
and not LET cent escape to any other
part OF the county. They want no div
idends to go away from the county
seat, but have a capacious NAV for
assessments from all places outside Of
the county seat and they plan and act
10 burden the people and spend money
they should not.
Inc DISPATCH believes It has
remedy in the law and will endeavor to
prevent the commissioners from spend
ing more Of the peoples money than is
necessary. The DISPATCH will not be
Ouncoed without struggle.

BrAid Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still al.
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good your food may be, its nutri-
ment is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine Of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifes the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DIR.

POULTRY YARD CHATTER.

Cheap food is always at the expense
of quality.
No GOD is cheap that does not bring
paying results.
Provide plenty OF nests where there
are many hens or pullets.
It's trouble" to look after a flock OF
poultry in the way it should be done
but 1t pays.
Grit, either oyster shells or crushed
granite, should be kept under cover
accessible to the poultry.
Air the poultry house once a day, no
matter how cold it is. Don't neglect
to clean Out the House every morning
because at is so cold"
Keep the cockerols and pullets SEM
~ate until a couple Of weeks before y.,,I
commence saving eggs for hatching,
Both will be the better for the plan.
The best "cOndit!on remedy" for
poultry Is good care, cleanliness in the
houses, variety of sound food, grit,
pure water, etc, and making the stock
exercise in a scratching shed.
Keep the poultry busy scratching.
Plenty of short, dry straw litter or
leaves under a shed or in the house Is
the way and place. Scatter n little
cracked corn or wheat several times
during the day. Late in the evening
give enough warm food to provide for
the required amount.
