In case of stomach and liver the proper

without irritating them. Orino Laxative
Fruit Syrup aids digestion and stimulates
the liver and bowels without irritating
these organs like pills or ordinary cath

Nothing Just as Good.

The dairy COW is the hardest worked
animal known. She must have the
very best feed TO produce a large flow
of milk and nourish her overworked
body. 1t is a well known fact that the
same amount of green forage that will
satisfy an animal If allowed to dry out
and fed with an equivalent amount OF
water will not satisfy its hunger. The
moisture contained in succulent, juicy
feeds has therefore great digestive
value to the remaining part of the feed
Many mixtures have been given, such
as bran, beet roots, mashes and soaked
or wet feeds OF various kinds. but none
OF these has ever equaled in food value
green feed stored up in an air tight
receptacle. where it is preserved. as in
the case OF the silo, writes c.. W. Me-
lick of Kimball's Dairy Farmer. Slage
contains just enough Tactic acid to
stimulate digestion, while the natural
unfermented foods do not.

Rival Telephone LIne.

The Utah Independent Telephone
company is to become a rival of the
Sunset in Nevada, California and other
western states. 1t has just obtained
from the Gould interests the exclusive
right to use the Western Pacific poles
and the poles Of the Rio Grande West
ern, by means of which it will have a
clear line from Denver to the coast.
1t will establish an exchange in Reno
and while it may not have a local sys-
TEN in Nevada it will at least have a
long distance office.
Later, it is reported, it will try to
obtain a franchise to establish a modern
system in Reno.
The deal is of great Importance be-
cause of the fact that it shows the
trend of Gould influence in the affairs
Of the intermountain region, and down
to the Pacific slope. AS is well known
the Western Union, as well as the Ric
Grande Western and Western Pacific
railroads are Gould propositions. Now
the Gould influence is ranged on the
side Of the Utah Independent Telephon,
company, which is a widening of the
sphere Of influence and a Strengthening
of power, and a development of thu
scope of that company.

Owens River Power Company
to Begin Active Operations
on Extensive Scale.

The Owens River Power company is
planning to begin operations on an ex-
tensive scale, under the direction of
Leon M. Hall, the well known engineer.
It is proposed to drive a tunnel through
what is known as the Hogsback on
Owens river opposite Roberts place
in Round valley, and it will be easy to
make an immense reservoir just above
that point, for nature has provided high
granite walls which can be utilized in
the enterprise.
The company has the only body of
water between Portland and Arizona
that is not utilized today, and it is GER
tainly has an immense volume of it.
The bonds issued by the company
have all been subscribed for and the
money is in the treasury.
Work on the system will be rushed
and when it is completed, power will be
furnished not only to Tonopah, Gold
field and Bullfrog, but to San Francisco
and other California cities as we'll. The
company will also install a telephone
system between Owens river and south.
western Nevada cities. The latter
will certainly fill a long-felt want.

Predict Great Things.

Fitz-Mac, the Colorado mining writer,
who has just completed his third trip
in six months over all Nevada, predicts
great things for Yerington and the sec

servation.
"Yerington is right at your door, ;"
says Fitz-Mac; ''that's the reason you
haven't heard of it-heard of 1t, | mean
as a mining region, for of course you
have always known of Yerington, the
principal town of Mason's vally, famous
for its agricultural products and fine
stock ever since white men have lived
in Nevada, and famous as an Indian
hunting ground for two or three thous-
and years before any white man ever
saw Nevada.
"And say, take my word for it,
there are mountains Of mineral down
here-mountains of iron, mountains
of copper, big veins of lead and silver
and big and rich veins of gold.
Gust think! There is one single
mine (the Bluestone) down in that
Yerington country, on the edge of the
Indian reservation, that beats all Man
hattan-beat any mine in Goldfeld,
beats even the great Montgomery-Sho-
shone of Bullfrog beats anything in
any of the new camps of Nevada ex-
cept the great quartette of Searchlight
and the Nevada Consolidated and the
Giroux Consolidated of Ely.

Montgomery claim cost Schwab ex-

Schwab was in the region of Bullfrog

was going to have a future, and he

p~rospector tried to appear reluctant,
but he was seriously elated. He took
the proposition home to his wife, think

had not hoped against hope many years
for nothing. All the ~extravagant
dreams Of the miners of Golconda were

avoirdupois and a rugged determination
she told her husband to ask SIS, 000, 900.

paid, not 81, 600, 600, as was supposed at
the time, but a sum nearer SIS, 000, 600.

All California Shaken;
An Appalling Disaster
San Francisco Wrecked by Earthquake and
Fire---A Hundred Millions Of Prop
erty Destroyed and Thous-
ands of Lives Lost.

The city of San Francisco was
almost destroyed and a large
part of California terribly shaken
by an earthquake early yester
day morning.
The dreadful earthquake shock
came without warning at precise.
ly 5:13 O'Clock this morning, its
motion apparently being. from
east to west. At first the up
heaval of the earth was gradual,
but in a few seconds it inC ased
in intensity. Chimneys began
to fall and buildings to crack,
tottering on their foundations+
People became panic-striken and
rushed into the streets, most Of
them in their night attire. They
were met by showers of falling
buildings. bricks, cornices and
walls. Many were instantly
crushed to death, while others
were dreadfully mang1ed. Those
who remained indoors generally
escaped with their lives, though
scores were hit by detached
plaster, pictures and articles
thrown to the floor by the shock.
In San Francisco alone it is es-
timated that 1000 persons have
perished, while as many more
are suffered from injuries. The
entire business portion of the
city is in ruins and the flames,
which, owing to lack of water,
cannot be checked, except by the
blowing up with dynamite Of
buildings in their path are still
sweeping thro the city.
1t is utterly impossible to esti-
mate the property loss, Afor the
extent of the confagration cannot
be told until the fire has burned
itself out.
Thousands of people are home
less and many are huddled in
the parks and public squares, be-
side the household goods they
were bile 10 save.
The city is under martial law
and all the downtown streets are
patrolled by cavalry and infantry.
Details of troops are also guard
ing the banks. Most ofthe pri1-
cipal buildings have been de-
stroyed and others are in immi-
nent danger.
Over all the scene of desolaticn
hangs a dense pail of smoke
Communication with outside
towns is almost entirely cut off,
but the report comes from Pale
Alto that all but one Of the build
ings of the Leland Stanford, Jr..
university have been wrecked
