Clifton First Benefit Melted $685.. so.

Almost Immediately after the re-
port of the destruction of San Fran
cisco, Mesdames E. NJ. Williams and
F. c. klsdorf interested themselves
in arranging a musicale benefit for
the sufferers, and on Tuesday night
their entertainment was given at
Prettyman's Academy-Opera house.
Although their time was very limited
they prepared a programme which
was never before equaled in the
city. Almost every number on the
program was worth the price of ad-
mission. Those who attended were
greatly surprised that such an array
of local talent could be gotten
together in such a short time. The
Melted nearly
$500. The ladiessRho arranged the
entertainmentE l5ers heartily con-
graduated on thsit rand success.
Lack of space prevents the ERA
from giving the entertainment a
more extended notice. The program
was as follows:

Furthermore, this water, used for
irrigation purposes, would be free
from all weed seeds, and the land
irrigated with it would not be-
come foul. Think of the increased
value such a we'll would give any
ranch in this valley. 1t would
place every farmer out of the way
of all lawsuits, and would give
him a better and cheaper irriga-
ton system than any gravity sys-
tenn known
Taking all things into consider
alton, it is worth the effort to try
to obtain artesian water in this
town and in this valley. If all
would stand together and make a
contribution for the test the loss
would be but little to each one if a
water flow was not obtained but
we believe it can be obtained and
that no one who advanced a dollar
for the experiment would lose it.

WATER
1t Cap be Obtained in Yerington for the Borpg-Why
Not Have Well and Water System?

formation of company to inau-
gurate water system for Yering-
ton. The enterprise would prove
a paying one to the company and
a great convenience to the resi-
dents of the community as well as
a great benefit in case of fire, and
would materially reduce insurance
rates.
1t would probably cost s. 900 or
81, 500 to make the experiment of
getting artesian water, but this
expense would fall heavily on no
one if divided among the business
men and residents of the town.
If water should be obtained those
who had aided the experiment
could organize a company. taking
as much stock in the concern as
their donation to the experiment
entitled them. The matter of a
tank, pump and engine if neces-
sary, would be easy to arrange.
The time is near at hand when
Yerington will begin to make a
rapid and substantial growth. We
think it must be clear to all of our
people.now that the spirit of inn
provement and advancement is
abroad in our community, that the
outlook for the town and valley
was never brighter, and that now
is the time to grasp the opportu-
mites presented for getting into
Legitimate business propositions on
the groundsfloor.
:. Should a good flow of water be
obtained in an experimental well,
it would, no doubt, be the means
of inducing farmers to bore for
water on their ranches. A well
that will produce as much water
as the we'll at Wabuska would
irrigate considerable land. This
well, with a pump, flows SO gal
Ion per minute, 4,Soo gallons per
hour, OF $1,000 gallons in twelve
hours. This is equal to nearly
& 600 miners inches which is con-
siderable of an irrigating head.
With such supply of water on
his ranch the farmer would never
be compelled to hesitate about
putting in such crops as he de-
sired to raise and as much land as
he chose, for the supply would be
continuous the year round. With
a tank on his ranch he could pipe
water into his house, barn and
corrals, and have the best of wa

Scientific men who have visited
this valley from time to time have
all expressed the opinion that ar
tesian water can be obtained at al
most any point in the valley at no
great depth. 1t has been demon
strated that artesian water can be
obtained on the fiat west of the
range of hills which skirt the
western boundary of this valley,
and there are several small wells
there which were obtained simply
by driving some I-inch and pinch
iron gas pipe down distance of
less than 100 feet. A good flow
comes through these pipes and
raises to height of several feet
obove the surface. The water, is
practically pure but carries little
sulphur.
1t has also been demonstrated
that artesian water can be obtain
ed at the lower end of the valley,
where, at Wabuska, the railroad
company recently sunk a Io-inch
we'll to a depth of little over 300
feet and obtained a flow of water
which comes to the surface. An
other 2-inch well at that point
flows into a tank about eight feet
above the surface. From the large
well small gasoline engine and
pump puts water into a large tank
at the rate of SO gallons per min
ute without decreasing the flow of
water in the we'll in the least.
1t is more than likely that had this
we'll been sunk hundred or two
feet deeper gusher would have
been obtained which would throw
water into the tank without the
aid of pump.
1t is more than likely that well
bored anywhere on the main
street in Yerington would give
a good flow of water, sufficient at
any rate to fill $4,000 gallon
tank in ten or twelve hours. A
$4,000 gallon tank would be good
supply for town purposes, and it
the water from the we'll did not
flow into the tank from its own
force it could be pumped there
with small engine and pump at
very small expense.

fears are largely
warranted by the
effects which this

many women. But
no woman need let
these fears fret her.

tion do not suffer
from the change

women. This fact
is due to the in

LAMENTABLE MISTAKE.

The News Times and Denver
Post are again urging that Antoine
Wood shall now be pardoned, he
having married while out on pa
role. 1t is probable that the lit
tie degenerate will be pardoned
now as he has succeeded in Sc
curing for a bride the daughter
of an eminent Judge in New York.
Under the terms OF his parole he
was prohibited from marrying
but he broke the terms, probably
with intent.
If it were possible he should be
returned to prison and kept there
the balance of his term to the end
that the starting of family of
degenerates should be postponed

as long as possible. Just why the
Times, Post and News should SO
strongly fight for the little devil S
pardon is one of the things that
is entirely outside our powers OF
comprehension.
When only eleven years old he
killed a.man tor the purpose OF
robbery. There was no passion
behind the act. He did it because
he possesses not a particle OF re-
spect for human life. The muir
der was the act OF constitutional
prevert, one of those unfortunates
who come into the world lacking
in human instinct. His tender
years saved him from the gal
lows, and mawkish old women
and few soldering newspapers
have pried open the penitentiary
doors and loosed him long enough
for him to WOO and wed a sup
posedly innocent woman.
We believe in the heredity OF
crime. We believe that creatures
who evidence SO complete lack
of human instinct should be for
ever barred from perpetuatlng
their kind. That is why we
favor capital punishment-to pro-
tect society against more crimi-
nails. The world will yet hear
from this young murderer whom
mistaken mercy has released and
enabled to found a family, the
blood of which will be one half
degenerate.

THE esteemed Montrose Press
criticises our lack of knowledge
of their municipal affairs. lnas-
much as we have never professed
to have any information on that
subject we are at loss to see
where we are to be censured.
The Press took us up for saying
some good words for our friend
John Gray. We retaliated by
giving some history upon which
we were acquainted. Now they
find fault with things not under
discussion. Among other things
that Bro. Adams learned in Gun
nison is the art of dodging. In
this he is past master. In spite
of all that can be said, John Gray
is still mayor, by grace of the
desire of Montrose to swell up
into a city of the second class.

LET US BUILD A LOCAL INDUSTRY.

The exposures of the horrible
conditions in packing house cir
cles should in our opinion assist
the management OF the Delta
County Packing Company to open
and successfully operate their
dressed meat establishment built
a year ago at Delta. There is a
great demand for dressed meats
on the western slope and with
the story of TIE meat trusts in
fanny ringing IN their ears we i'm
agine that consumers will for a
considerable time discriminate in
favor of local plant.
Again it is clear that the pro-
dncer will be made to carry the
burden of the loss and this again
would stimulate our local cattle
men to market their stock at
home. We are not fully posted
on this question but it seems at
first thought tina there is an oP-
portunity here for accomplishing
something.
Considerable money has been
invested in the construction OF a
good plant at Delta. we raise a
lot of cattle and hogs, the sur
rounding mining camps consume
much meat.
Are not the times propitious to
build up packing industry
