The NEVADA PEST
Prof. Frandsen Mailing An I'm
pOrtant Investigation

Professor Frandsen of the Univer-
sity OF Nevada has just returned from
a professional trip to the farming lands
on the south fork of the Humboldt
river in Eiko county
He w~s called there by the settlers
OF that country to see what could be
done towards annihilating the ground
squirrels that have this season almost
reduced the grain fields to ruin.
The destructive pests are called by
the Indians the sleeping squirrel"
from the fact that they lie in a torpid
state throughout the winter.
In early days the Indians depended
to a large extent upon these animals
for food. and would conduct systemat-
ic campaigns against them.
In this way they were kept down,
but of late years they have multiplied
to such an extent that In ce. tain farm
ing localities they can be found by the
thousands.
Professor Frandsen has been work
ing with a poison that has been effect
lively used by the government In de-
stroying the prailie dogs, which at
one time were to be found in multi
tudes throughout the length and
breadth of Kansas. These animals
are somewhat similar to the squirrels
found here. but are not so destruc-
tive.

Ing squirrels will practically ruin

A torrent of water covering the
ground for miles to a depth OF nearly
three feet fell at and near Wabuska
Wednesday. Never before have the in
habitants gone through such an ex-
citing expe fence ard that lives were
not lost seems almost a miracle. For
the past two days the skies have been
cloudy Lightning and thunder storms
were frequent. but beyond an occa-
sional shower there has practically
been no rainfall Without warning. al
most 1t seemed as IL the skies be-
came an inverted sea, pouring its con-
tents upon the earth. The water came
down, not in drops. but in torrents
and In a moment the streets y. the
town and the lard on the outskirts was
a veritable lake, covered with a body
of water at least three feet In depth.
Fortunately the storm did not last
long and within an hour afterward the
water had passed off. The damage can
not be estimated at this time. No lives
were lost.-Reno Journal.

License Came loo Late

Among the applicants for dog
licenses at the City Hall in San Fran
cisco recently was a young Swei'sa
damsel, who was accompanied b. 4

of CANNES. Chief Deputy Tax Col.e,-

soon ascertained that she was rather
ignorant of the purpose OF her ms

"Ay bane told I must get a licsr.se
for my dawg." said the lady, but 1

Simpson. you see, you must secure \
license to be placed on the cola

The lady did not quite understand.
but after further explanation said: II
know now. They cannot put my dog
in the pound when he has this tag.
Then she turned around and foi,i
a door which had been opened by a-n-
other applicant. The lady ran excited
ly out OF the room, but found no
traces of her pet. She ran distractedly
through the City Hall corridors ard
finally found her way out to McAil!s-
ter street. She was Just i'm time to see
the poundmen catch her dog with their
net and hurl him into the wagon for
deportation to the pound. She wavad
her dog license, but without avail. Tor
the wagon dashed by her and the
poundmen only smiled.

There is not another town in Nevada

what is destined to become the garden
spot of the west it will be the base
of supplies within the next ten years

laboi ers and contributing thousands
of dollars worth of produce to the
world.
Its growth has been rapid. A few
months ago there was only one store
in the town. Today there is dozen.

of this citw. He has been there for the
past two months and a few days ago
business increased to such an extent
that he moved into larger and mo. e
centrally located quarters and now
has one of the finest restaurants and
lunch counters in the town.
For the present. at least. the resi-
dents do not hope for a railroad.
However, 1t is known that the project
has not been abandoned and by next
spring it is expected that work will
stait and be rushed to completion. 1t
is thought that the line will be in run

Our Accidental Presidents

Every one of the Vice. Presidents of
the United States who succeeded to the
Presidency through the death of
P esident was an aspirant for the next
nomination for President--but not one
'ueceeded.
John Tyler after the death of Presi-
lent William Henry Harrison began to
ealize the waning power of the Whig
party, and consequently abandoned the
party that had elected him on it's ma
ional ticket and strove to obtain the
,ext Democratic p esldential nonina-
ion. That party, however. secuted his
,andidacy and nominated Polk. who
was sneered at by Clay as the Duck
River Colonel" Gene al Zachary Tay-
lor who was really without party poll
les, was nominated for President by
he Wings In 1S4S and was elected only
because of his Mexican war record
and the detection in New York of the
Van Buren, faction, who would not sup
port General Cass. the Democratic
nominee. Taylor was i'm office only a
~ Millard Fillmore. mediocre man.
But he had followers who stimulated
his ambition, and he soon began to lay
plans for the whig nomination in 1852.
But his claims were ignored and the
Whig .oarty. with General Winfield
Scott as it's candidate, made It's last
rally for the Presidency.
Fillmore in his disappointment was

placed him in power. He planne AN

vention OF 1884 convened his strength

to leave him no chance of SUCCESS.
Thus it will be seen that wnat are
called accidental Presidents have all
aspired to succeed themselves and all
have signally failed, and with the ey-
ception of Johnson their failure has
been followed by obscurity. Roosevelt
