near St Clair was painfully injured
yesterday at the |. IL. Kent Company

contained in an empty whisley barrel.
An augur had been dropped in the

striking match in order that more
light night be shed upon the subject,
when the ignition and explosion fol-
lowed, which blew out the end Of the

from the sand which is blown across

ORCHARDS

County.
An Industry Invited By Climate
and Soil.

Every present Indication leads one to
believe that Churchill county is des-
tined to become the most hourishing
agricultural district in Nevada. There
are hundreds OF skilled farmers waiting
to file on land here uutil the irrigation
problem will have been completed
Letters to this office and to the govern
ment officials will bear out this state
ment. Those who have already taken
homesteads have ambitious schemes
in contemplation. Considered as a
whole the outlook is extremely en-
couraging.
Many OF the present landholders are
considering the advisablity OF setting
out trees, both for ornamental and
commercial purposes. A word as to
this project may not be amiss at the
present time.
Both the soil and the climate OF the
valleys Of Churchill are peculiarly
adaptable to the growing of fruit. The
country around Los Angeles, Red
lands and Riverside-comprising Cali
fornia's orange, olive, lemon and apricot
belts-is similar in contour and soil to
that of this district Before that terri
tory i'll the Golden state had been ir-
rigated, it was apparently barren as a
desert can be- 1t is now Il blooming
paradise, as anyone who has travelled
through it will affirm. The TRANSFORMED
ton came from irrigation. A similar
improvement can be and is going to be
effected here.
1t may be urged against this state
ment that the climate there is superior
to that here; that the fruit belt OF the
former place is not subject to the high
winds that prevail in the Sage com
monwealth, and that, therefore, this
country is not naturally fruit raising

Opposed to this reasoning it can be

AS TO TYPHOID FEVER
COMMISSIONERS MAY CLOSE ALL
THE PUBLIC WELLS.
Said to Be Always Danger of Con-
tamination of the Water
by Sewage.

The permanent closing of all public
wells in this city is a proposition which
the Commissioners are considering In con-
nection with an inquiry Commissioner
Mcfarland has been making as to why
the cases OF typhoid fever have not d.
minished in number, as it was expected
they would do after the filtration plant
Was completed.
Commissioner Macfarland's inquiry
shows, according to an official report made
to him, that the filtration plant Is strain

is an important one In the winter time, is
decreasing now, and the danger from flies
has not fully begun. Yet the number OF
typhoid fever cases does not diminish.
The public wells, now about ninety IN
number, are the last possible source OF
danger. Although the water from them Is
analysed from time to time by the health
department, and when bacteria are dis
covered they are closed. Ii is claimed by

not show the possible presence OF disease
germs at the time, such germs may be
present the next day. and that the fact
that there Is always danger of contami-
nation by sewage Is enough of itself 10
warrant the closing of all public wells IN
order to eliminate their danger from the
typhoid fever problem. If this were done,
they argue, the sterilization or boiling OF
ali milk consumed the cooking of all oys-
tiers and screening against flies would, with
the operation of the filtration plant upon
tho Potomac water supply, shut out all
known causes of typhoid fever, except N
those parts OF the District where the Po-
tomac water supply Is not available and
people must depend on wells.
Advocated by DR.. Kober.
One of the advocates of closing the wells,
DR.. George M Kober talked with Com
missioner Mcfarland today about the ex-
perience of foreign cities which had Inn
proved conditions by closing all public
wells. Dr. Kober stated that the experts
were agreed that public wells ought not 60
be permitted in cities and that IL possible
private wells ought also to DO closed.
He stated that his investigations on the
subject of typhoid fever had satisfied him
that the public pumps OF Washington, CIV
ing water from wells In soil peculiarly
favorable to the contamination of wells.
were at least so justly suspected as to war
rant their being closed, even though the
latest analysis by the health department In !.
any particular case showed that the water
was free from bacteria.
Commissioner Macfariand, who is very de-
sirous to have every precaution taken
against typhoid fever germs, IS inclined TO
believe that the time has come for doing
away with all public pumps because of the
danger that sewage may seep into them at
any time, and Therefore disease germs may
be carried all over the city, since the pumps
are SO widely scattered and many drink
from them who do not live In the immediate
