ECONOMY IN BAKING.

There is mUre dependent upon the
baking powder, so far as economy in
making biscuit and cake is concerned,
than In any other thing.
The baking powder that will make
the most, the finest and the most
healthful food is the most economical.
The cheap alum baking powders
average about five per cent Of leaven-
gas. Therefore it will take three
times as much alum powder to raise
the same cake or biscuit as it does Of
the DR.. Prices powder, for instance,
which is a cream OF tartar powder
with three times the leavening
strength, so the actual cost with the
alum powder is the greatest. Further
than this, however, the cream OF
tartar powder makes the finest kind
Of food, while the alum powders fire.
quently fail when all the eggs, -four
and butter used are wasted.
The greatest economy In tne use OF
a baking powder like the DIR. Prices
is In the healthfulness of the food 1t
makes. 1t saves in doctors bills many
times its lost over alum powders.
DR.. Prices Baking Powder, as every
housewife knows, is always to be re-
lied upon. 1t is one of the greatest
aids she has. She is always able with
the least trouble to make the very
finest biscuits, cakes, mullins and
crusts. Many a reputation has been
made by the delicious things she has
been able to make with it. Any
woman has a right to be indignant
when the grocer sends her another
baking powder in its place, which
spells her food, injuries her reputation
and brings her blame.

Fire Meeting.

The second meeting of the newly
organized fire company was held last
Monday. The attendance was very
small, about one-third of the property
owners being present. Those who
attended however, are deter
mined to act and in the best manner
they know how.
Considerable discussion was indulg-
ed in as to the best method of levying
tax to raise sufficient funds to pay
the debt now hanging over the engine
and fire house. 1t was the prevailing
sentiment of those present that prop
erty holders should be assessed ac-
cording to value of the property they
own. This would appear to be the
only just way. A committee was
appointed to ascertain the rate of tax
necessary to raise enough money to
liquidate all debts against the fire
company.
Should this plan provenot feasible, the
matter will be referred to the County
Commissioners. The law governing
such reads as follows:
The County Commissioners of the
various counties of the State of Ne
vada are hereby empowered to levy
and collect tax not exceeding one
half of one per cent upon the assessed
value of property within any un-
incorporated town for the benefit OF
the fire department in such town.
There will undoubtedly be some
who will oppose this plan, but if they
have not enough town patriotism
to attend the meetings, they at least
should not be allowed to. prevent the
more thoughtful citizens from obtain
ing fire protection.

The Wheelmen's Ball.

The Wheelmen did themselves
proud as entertainers last Saturday
night the occasion being the first
ball given by the club. Everything
passed off pleasantly, nothing happen
ing to mar the enjoyment of the oc-
casion. Dancing started early and
the gay devotees of terpsichore danced
continuously until the midnight hour,
when all repaired to the East Fork
hotel where Mrs. Morrison had pre-
pared delicious lunch. The tables
were tastefully decorated with flowers
and greens, and they presented a
most pleasing appearance.
The lunch satisfied the most fasti-
dious and it is not exaggerating to say
that it was the daintiest spread ever
given in Gardnerville.
The music also deserves special
mention, it being superior to any
thing ever heard here.
The Wheelnen are pleased with
the liberal patronage which they are
receiving and which is their due.

Accidentally Shot.

Will Mather, who has charge of the
Hickey sheep in Antelope valley, was
shot in the ankle by the accidental
discharge of his revolver last Wednes-
day night.
Clarence Hannigan who was stop
ping with Mather at the camp near
Alkali lake, had, during the afternoon,
hung loaded Al revolver on nail in
the cabin. Will afterwards put his
coat over the gun and returning some
time later pulled the coat down and
the gun dropping to the floor was dis
charged, the bullet entering his
ankle.
He was brought to town and Drs.
Fourier and Paradis attempted to
extract the bullet, but owing to the
fact that it was broken into many
pieces they were not successful.
The unfortunate man accompanied
by DIR. Fournier, started for San Fran
CISCO last evening. The doctor said
he thought amputation would be
necessary.

Drowned in the Truckee.

One of the saddest accidents in the
State in recent years happened at
Laughton's Springs, few miles D.
bove Reno, last Sunday and four
people lost their lives. The victims
of the disaster are: Miss Mia Nc
MILAN, Morris Jacobs, Mrs. Eide and
q. T. Tilsman, of Chicago.
The party was out for an outing at
the Springs when death overlook
them. The party attempted to cross
the river on condemned suspension
tramway. The river was very high
and the weight caused the frail box,
which served as a car, to be submerg-
ed. The turbulent waters broke it
and the four were plunged into the
mad river
Mr.. Jacobs attempted to support
Miss Mcmillan in the water and being
good swimmer had nearly succeeded
in reaching land when Miss Mcmillan
becoming frightened grabbed his arms
and the two sank to the bottom. Mr..
Tilsman, who was a powerful swim
mer, was seen to swim POO yards with
Mrs. Eide, and then to rest, to turn
on his back and float. At this NOM
ent Mrs. EIDE was seen to grasp his
arms and both sank.
Hundreds of people have pursued a
deligent search but at this writing
only two of the bodies have been re-
covered, Mrs. EIDE and Miss Mcmillan.
Owing to the prominence of the
victims of the tragedy the entire city
of Reno is in mourning.

Died In Reno.

Merrill Turner after lingering ILL
ness of several months passed away
in Reno last Wednesday. He was
taken down with dropsy last winter
and his death was not unexpected.
Deceased was an old resident OF
this valley and in early days was en-
gagged in the logging business.
Later he studied law and a few
years ago served the people of this
county as District Attorney. Since
then he has practiced his profession
in Genoa. Several weeks ago he was
taken to Reno, where his death oc-
cured.
He was native of Maine and SO
years of age.
The funeral will be conducted by
the Reno Lodge of Oddfellows next
Sunday.

First Race.

On May Goth the local riders will
meet the Carson wheelmen in that
town. The team is training hard
and under the careful direction

trim. Some new riders are being de-
veloped that promise to make the old
ones get down and work if they ex-
pect to be considered the leaders. II
the team is successful in wrestling the
laurels from the Carson boys, and
there is not the least doubt but that
it will, a meeting with Reno will
then be inorder.
A large crowd will go to Carson on
the 29th to encourage the boys.
