BLIND GODDESS RENDERS HER.
DECISION
Manager John Blaekwood of the
Belasco and A. e. Van Doozer of
Physical Culture Fame Prin-
eipals in Lawsuit

1t is rare thing that the two hand
soonest men in any great -ity ever meet,
but such was the case yesterday when
Manager John Blackwood OF the
Belasco theater, magnificent specimen
of brunette manhood, appeared I'm Jus
tice Young's court to defend an action
brought against him by A. 70. Van
Doozer, a we'll known professor of
physical culture and perfect specimen
of the blonde type. Van Doozer COM
planning that Blackwood had violated
a contract.
And, oh, girls, you should have been
there and let your hearts tremble and
flutter aus first one hero and then the
other told his woes. Van Doozer wore
black silk stockings, and. as a physical
culturist, his neither limbs are of goodly
proportions, and he was not 10th to
twist one leg over the other to display
that silk hosiery.
But there was a long string of woes
to tell, and the two parties to the suit
were not slow in becoming interested
At the morning session Manager Black
wood took the stand He had just left
Stage Manager George Barnum, who
was saying things at the heroines of
the Belasco company to make them
perform properly in the play for next
week, and ne also felt like saying
things.
BlackWood Relates His Woes
According to Blackwoods testimony
his trouble with Van Doozer began
eighteen months ago. At that time
Blackwood was beginning to take flesh.
He had resorted to that pror osition of
walking ninety-two miles before break
fast for his health without drinking
water but unfortunately there are
other beverages beside water, and
Blackwood was beginning to lose some
of the splendor of his form in spite of
himself.
When all had failed &c went to Van
Doozer and said: Van, L am out of
FORM I am beginning t. look like a
miniature copy of Secretary Taft and
like a third cousin of Billy Nevin.
Make me to look like whisper weight,
like Doc Houghton or any old thin boy
and l will compensa gu with the
necessary simeolens by which you exc

Merchants bank will h We vanished and

LOCATING
DAMSlTES

A party of Government Surveyors
arrived in town Wednesday, on their
way to the head waters of the Carson
river, where they will be employed in
surveying resovoir sites and locating
suitable foundations for the building
OF the dams, to hold back the flood
waters of the river,
While we were unable to get any
definite information ii looks as if the
government is about ready to com
mence the construction of the immense
projects which they have planned to
build on the head waters of the Car
son.
This will mean more to Douglas
County than any of the many good
things that have developed in this
county during the past few months 1t
will mean the influx of many farmers
and business men, and general in
crease "A along the line of industry in
the valley. 1t will mean the settling
up of all the vast area of our untitled
land, and as this is the key to the sue
cess of the county, the news will be
hailed with JOY by all.
Right now is the time we should or
ganize, aud work in unison toward
the building of our town, county and
all industries. We should offer in-
dueements to people of other states to
settle here There are many men
working in the mines of our state who,
if they put forth one half of the same
energy they do i'll mine would make
a success of farming and would have
the pleasure of knowing that what
ever they earned would he from their
individual efforts. This is what the
storing of the water by the government
will do for these men. II is our duty
to help foster these plans, and to adj
vertise our county to the outside
world in order to encourage the
people towards the agricultural re
soures of the state as we'll as the min
ing industry. The population of this
county ought to be three times what it
is now and farming, is the only thing
that will bring ii

During the recent visit made to San
Francisco by DIR. Hennessy, he visited
with Mrs. W. T.. Corey who recently
purchased mine from the dentist for
$40, 900 in the Eagle mining district
in Douglas coumnty. The contract
for the sale of the mine has been clos
ed and the wife of the president of
the steel trust is very much in earnest
about her purchase of gold mine in
Nevada
1t is understood that while in San
Francisco the lady visited various
mining experts and displayed samples
of the ores secured from her mine, the
Adaven. She has engaged experts
from the Bay City to come to Nevada
and make a personal examination of
the propiety. In the event that they
are satisfied with the outlook Mrs.
Corey will begin active operations in
this district and her enterprise. 1t
is believed will add impulse To the
district
Since Mrs. Corey interested herself

A Good Shot

One night recently party of tour
lists at hotel were telling stories
of famous shot and how many ducks
and other birds had been killed at a
single discharge After listening for
some time to what seemed a wilful ex-
aggeration by different narrators, a
man who as a present volunteered his
first and only experience of the fatal
double -barreled gun. He began: Il

County Times
Again we wish to call the attention
to the II .ccessity of united action on
the part of the citizens of Douglas
County, in order to maintain the Bod
ie and southern freight coming this
way. As will be seen by the foregoing
article the people of Mason Valley are
working in every possible manner to
obtain control of this traffic. 1t is the
only or at least the best outlet for all
the produce of this valley and with
the development the mines of that
section, they will be able to use con-
siderable more produce than at pre-
sent. However it will I'll be lost to
the valley if we lose the freighting
as the teams and merchants will
naturally patronize the country
through which they haul their
freight. We must offer every induce
ment III our possession, and place our
roads i'll the best possible condition in
order to hold what is naturally ours
and which that Giant Octopus the
Southern Pacific railroad is trying to
take from u.s.
The Record-courier. [volume] (Gardnerville, Nev.) 1904-current, 1906-02-23

Notwithstanding the fact that we
have been informed from numerous
sources and by numerous people that
we would never see freight being haul
ed from Wabuska through this valley
to Bodie and other Mono and Esmer-
aida county camps, load of mixed
freight left here yesterday for Aur
ora. 1t consisted of two large wagon
loads of grain, bran flour, furniture,
etc. This is but a starter. In few
days we expect to see nearly all the
freight consumed in the county spoken
of going this way. There is no reason
why it should not The distance is
shorter the road can be made as good
as any roads in the State and the grad
es are lighter than over any other
route. With these conditions it will
be possible to give the Bodie. and Aur-
ora people rate that can not be
equalled by any other combination of
railroads and freighters.
Messrs Slingerland and Littell visit
ed Bodie and Aurora last week to in
terview the merchants and mining
companies there regarding this matter,
and they met with some encourage
ment They will haul in some Bodie
freight very soon. 1t Itappears, however,
that the people of that section have
a grievance against the Southern Pac-
fie Co. for some reason, and If con-
ditions were equal they would prob
ably have their freight come from

them, however, that they can get

New Road Undecided

The County Commissioners at their
meeting held on the 18th. inst after
reviewing the work done by the sur
veyors on the new road which is to be
built in the Hoye canyon, found that
the plans which they had figured on,
did not prove as feasable as they had
anticipated.
1t was thought that road could be
built with "A five per cent grade, and
at a cost of about $4,000 whereas it
was found that it will require ten
per cent grade and would cost III the
neighborhood of $4,000,
The surveyors also figured on the
cost of repairing the old road and
figured that it could be repaired for
about $4,000 and could be made very
permanent for this figure,
The commissioners did not arrive
any definite conclusion at there meet
ing. and will meet again next Monday
when they will decide the matter
definitely, and work will be commence
ed. Immediately and rushed to COM
pletion.

asked if she had committed the crime

by the State, tried to induce the court

new Mine A Conner

Bob Ames of Smith valley, was a
visitor in town last Sunday, he reports
that mining boom has struck that
section of the country and that this
summer there will probably be some
good properties opened up in Smith
valley. The new find made by Pierce
and Son is proving TO be conner, and
the fortunate owners will probably
reap fortune out of their find, should
il prove to be what it now seems.
This will encourage prospecting all
along the range and we may expect to
hear of some excellent finds being
made in that vicinity in the near
future.

WORK RESUMED

The freezing weather and heavy pre-
cipation put stop to work on the
Virginia and Truckee railroad exten-
sion for some time, but arrangements
have been made To resume work at
once. Contractor Tom Sayers arrived
at the Dangberg ranch last Wednesday
with large crew of men and had it
not been for the storm work would
now be progressing; as it is the work
will start as soon as the ground is dri-
@ | sufficiently.
The material yards are filled with
ties rails and other SUPPLIES. Track lay
ing will begin as soon as the ground
dries so that ties can be bedded and
