TEAMSTER INJURED
{. B. Austin has Hand Crushed
in Wool Press

E. B. Austin, the well-known Winnie
mucca- Paradise teamster. received an
injury Saturday morning in a wool press
north of Paradise which may result in
the less of his left hand.
Mr.. Austin was to have left Paradise
this morning on his regular down trip
and had gone up to the Pasquaie shear
ing camps to get his load. There
were a few wool bales lacking q
load and Mr.. Austin was assisting II
load. While he was putting some WOO
into the press the press horse suddenly
started up and the heavy jammer caughi
his left hand just above the wrist. In
a second 1t was mashed to a pup.
In spite of the excruciating pain the
injured man bore up like stole. Hard
ly murmur passed his lips. He was
brought to town Immediately and DIR.
Burns summoned. After being placed
under an anesthetic the torn felsh wa
sewn together. and late last evening the
patient was resting fairly wei.
DIR. Burns stated yesterday that at
that time 1t was very doubtful IL the
hand could be saved. The thumb was
torn partly loose and the bones from
above the wrist to the second joint OF
the fingers were laid bare. The two
middle finger bones were crushed flat.
If circulation can be induced chances In
favor of saving the member will brighten.
Frank Coleman has been engaged to
take charge of the freight team during
Mr.. Austin's illness.

to doubt 1t. for he said the artic es III q

THE VALUE OF ADVERTISING

e. Reinhart s. Co. this morning re-
ceived an order from Reno for suit
of crash clothing advertised in the Sn-

two things: first. the value Of advertising
in the Silver State, and second. that the
firm of e. Reinhart & Co. are up to date
on all lines, for when Reno sends orders
for clothing to Winnemucca 1t shows
that winnemucca has a firm that is

FAITH Of LITTLE
LETTER WRITER

The reporter and the postoffice clerk
met and the subject of the converse
ton that ensued was curious addresses
which are sometimes encountered in
the mails.
THE strangest and at the same time
most pathetic case can bring to mind
was an envelope with Papa" scrawled
on it in child's hand. It was found
in the island letters receptacle at
the poseoffice and as there was no
claimant it was advertised and in due
course was sent to the dead letter
bureau at Washington.
Later on we heard the contents of
the note enclosed read .Plees bring me
some candy. That was all.

faith in the capability of the postoffice

INSURANCE COMMISSIONER
HOSTS REPORT

In yesterdays august 23) editorial
tanned in the above report were set
forth and commented upon. The read
ers Of the Advertiser will remember
that the report recommended that each
State pass a law providing for annual
distribution of dividends on policies of
life insurance by all companies, after
the second policy year. This would be
on excellent provision, but some of the
companies would be compelled to
change their method of doing business
and alter their policy contracts. Not
so with the Pacific Mutual Life Insur-
ance Co. of California, who have writ
ten practically no other form of policy
for years. Over 80 per cent. of their
business is on the annual dividend plan.
1t is not necessary to legally compel
this excellent company to do what is
best for it's policyholders. They have
voluntarily done what Commissioner
Host recommends other companies be
forced, by law, to do.
If you are contemplating life insur-
lance or would be interested in know
ling what the Pacific Mutual policies
