SUNSET COMPANY
WOULD BUY LINE

IL. I. Shear, county manager of the
Sunset Telephone company, with head
quarters in Reno, was III Fallon Mon
day and Tuesday on business matters
pertaining to his company. Mr..
Shear states that negotiations have
been pending for some time past be-
tween the honorable board of county
commissioners and the telephone com
pany, whereby satisfactory arrange
ments could be entered into as regards
the operation of the county line.
At the present time Churchill County
owns its own telephone system, con-
nections being made with the corporate
liue ut Wadsworth. In the past many
bills for traffic charges have been
presented for payment that seemed
large and it was looking toward the ad-
justment of these charges that brought
Mr.. Shear to this place.
Incidently Mr.. Shear stated that the
Sunset Telephone company was desrous
of taking over the entire county line,
either by buying outright or by leasing,
and he pointed out the following points
in favor OF the proposition.
AT the present time the traffic rates
combined with the charges of main
tanning the line, costs the taxpayers
something like $1,000 annually. Mr..
Shear seemed to be OF the opinion that
our present service could be improved
upon materially by making direct con-
nections with the outside world, en-
abling Fallen to call outside points
through Reno, instead OF Hazen as is
necessary at the present time. He
stated that another point that would
better the present service would be the
installation OF better equipment, which
would be done Immediately upon the
acquiring OF the system by the Sunset
company if it could be arranged.
Mr. Shear stated that his company
had not overlooked the future develop
ment that must occur in this section,
and the fact that telephone business is
sure to assume large proportions in the
near future by reason OF the fact that
the Carson Sink will soon be thickl,
settled, and every farm unit will sooner
or later be equipped with this modern
convenience"
However. the Sunset Company's
proposition to buy the line would not
be considered seriously by the county
authorities unless it could be shown
that our present service could be inn
proved upon, both in point OF service
and rates. which is not at all probable

CARSON SINK
STRANGELY FAVORED

The Churchill Standard was favored
this week by j. ii. Wilson with a copy
of Il Corvallis, Oregon paper, which
contains weather report. of conditions
that may be said to be general, over a
very large area in the northwest. Ac-
cording to the summary, which covers
period of twelve months, constituting
the year 1905, the section mentioned
was favored with l04 clear days, l30
cloudy, 1876 rainy and 4 days of snow.
There is little wonder that the states
OF Oregon and Washington have a
larger percentage OF insane than any
other states in the Union. Contrast
ing the l04 days which covers the total
suns hine enjoyed by the people of the
northwest country, Central Nevada
does not average a hall dozen cloudy
days in the year and the effects of the
sunshine that prevails can be noted ON
the sunny dispositions OF the business
men and even the housewives.
People coming to this section are al
ways quick to note this advantage,
whicl, is more far reaching than is or
dinarily understood for this very sun
shine, coupled with the water that will
soon be delivered to the Carson Sink
irrigation project is the essence of all
life. Surely we are strangely favored

HOSPITAL
County Treats Many INDECENT
Patients During Past
Eleven Months.
Superintentdent J. H. Miller'S Re-
port of Cases Treated.

During the past eleven months end
ing January lst, 1905, the county hospi-
tai has been the scene OF unlocked for
activity. The opinion was expressed
that much of the time the ward auld be
vacant only occasionally containing two
or three patients. The ward has been
vacant just eight days. As many as
eleven patients at one time hay, been
accommodated and total of forty-two
have received care, of whom thirty-eight
recovered and four died.
The first patient to succumb was
sufferer from chronic brights disease.
The attending physician said his heart
was so weak he might last two weeks
or possibly as many months. Seventy
seven days he fingered before rest came.
OF the eight cas- of typhoid fever on
record six recovered. The seventh case
was that of young man, away from
his home and the friends of his youth,
away from the mother in Kansas City
who would SO gladly have given him
her constant care His case was early
seen to be hopeless. Hemorrages,
which are watched for after fourteen or
twenty-one days, occurred on the fifth
day after his arrival with frightful
severity The usual means checked
them only temporarily; each succeed
ing day witnessed another and later
from the stomach also, till the tenth
day when he yielded his young life Il
sacrifice on the altar OF appetite. In
dustrious to a fault he had clung to his
work on the ditch as long rs his strength
remained. When food became re-
pulsive to him he said so long as his
money lasted he lived ON pie, cake,
candy, anything to tempt his appetite,
till the whole alimentary canal was one
mass of ulcers and slime. My people
perish for lack OF knowledge, says the
Bible and ii this young man hau only
known to obey the law of nature
which directed his stomach to refuse
food, had known to drink hot water
every half hour or at least every two
hours to wash his stomach out, AS we
wash greasy kettle, till it once again
demanded nourshment he probably
would have recovered.
The eighth case OF typhoid fever was
cared for at the county hospital just
four days. lie had been treated in
Fallon Tor typhoid-malaria and dis
charged from the hospital III fallon.
He secured work at the camp cook
house but found he was unequal to the
task before him and informed his en-
ployers to that effect. They kindly
told him to do what he was able till
he became stronger. But the vora-
ciOus appetite that follows typhoid
fever and makes an irresponsible child
OF strong willed man, proved his
undoing. A relapse OF she fever oc-
Cured and when he was sent to the
county hospital nothing could abate the
raging fever. Violent delirium followed.
Opiates kindly lent their influences till
the end.

arriving at truth and the Baconian
method The Doctor showed where
in the former was often defective and
wherein the latter is the better way
to discover the truth.
From the vantage ground thus gain
ed by the argument the preacher
brought out the text as an applica-
ton Of the strong Baconian method
Of augmentation. 20 taste and see
that the Lord is good" is a method
OF arriving at truth founded upon
the manner set forth by Bacon
The tasting" may be done in sew
eral ways. One is by experience:
the Bible says liberality TO God Will
be rewarded; the way to learn that
this is true is to ask some one who
has been liberal to the cause OF
Christ for twenty years and such a
one will say that the scriptural quo
tation is true.
History also proves that the Lord
is good: for all the life of Christ is
set forth as one Of kindness and mer-
cy. and this life was seen by hun
dreds of people and testified to by
them. We should take them as men
of responsibility the same as we take
men of science who tell us certain
hesitancy. The SpectroScope is used
only by scientists and they tell us that
gold is burning On the sun and that
silver is not While none Of us for
ourselves know that statement TO be
true. yet each Of US believe it We
will believe scientific statements on
the assertion OF a few indiyiduaulS:
then why not religious things?
The emotions We're also brought
forward in similar manner and
shown TO prove that the Lord is
good In this way. the relationship
of science and religion was shown not
to be in conflict but rather to be in
harmony Throughout the whole uni
verse so far as human knowledge has
yet been able to comprehend. every
thing goes to show that science is
only going to corroborate the state
ments which were made in the Bible
centuries ago.
The discourse was remarkable for
its scholarly characteristics and was
greatly appreciated by the people OF
this city who now see harmony be-
tween religion and science. where in
many places before there was antas-
onism.
