The Columbia Pete.


The Columbia Fete given under
the auspices Of the Ladies Aid Of the
Christian church and rendered at the
opera house in this city Monday
evening vas a grand success consid-
ering the disadvantages encountered
in staging the production. Miss NJ.
E. Mathews. who supervised the
spectacular and pantomimic enter
tainment only had little more than a
week for rehearsal and the local tall
ent who took part in the Fete we're
novices in the characters and drills,
calisthenics and poses necessary to a
perfect rendition Of this class of pro-
duction, while the stage vas entirely
too small, making the task a labori-
Gus one for Miss Mathews to do full
Justice to herself, as there were many
and varied situations which had to be
closely guarded SO that no hitch
would occur.
However. the Columbia Fete was q
credit to all concerned and showed
what home talent can do and what
may be executed on short notice.
The tabieaux with electrical effects
were all excellent. The FAIRIES,
Brownies, Indians, Newsboys, Jock
les. Japs and other approximations
were f~rst.class. while the scenes from
the 14th century to the present day
we're replete with interesting events
known in history. The Slipper,
Floral and Rainbow drills and Maud
Muller scene were, judging from
the applause. the most notable, all
the musical features being good.
Tx entertainment was of high
order and the instructor surely de-
st-ves all ;he credit possible in the
P~-r-rases ard many who witnessed
the performance could see plainly
ao~ sue was handicapped, and the
wonder is tina, she could manage the
Fe;e. or rather the numerous charaC-
tiers. old and young, with even mod
crate success, without a long season
of rehearsal and a large, roomy stage
tor its production. The character of
the Fete is strictly moral, and to low
ers of patriotic scene and music,
with exercises in physical culture the
whole is well taken and the in
stigators are to be congratulated on
having attempted it here.

Attempted Suicide.

Mrs. Etna Taylor, wife Of Marion
Taylor, living near the Slower Coal
Bank, attempted to commit suicide
at her home Tuesday. Her husband
had been shaving at the house and on
leaving the room his wife grabbed
the razor and slashed one side OF her
throat, making an ugly cash, and she
was in the act of cutting the other
side when her husband stepped into
the room and prevented her from
any further attempt on her life. DIR.
Halter Of Barnett was quickly SUM
moned and gave her every attention
possible, but her condition is yet SER
ious. She is about 30 years of age
and the only easo given for her rash
deed is that some secret trouble
weighed on her mind.

Details of the Great Work BeinO Done in ReCIaimino the Desert

Although the general public Is grad ually becoming more familiar with the work of the reclamation service, little is known concerning the details of this great undertaking outside of the dis- tricts directly affected.
 The following are the principal proj- ects now under consideration:

 The principal water supply for west ern Nevada comes from the mountains of California, near the western bound ary of the state, the principal streams being the Truckee, Carson and Walker rivers. These converge toward the desert lands and disappear in sinks or lakes at attitudes of about 3,90o feet.
 The Truckee- Carson project com prlses a number of reservoir sites on the head waters of Truckee and Car son rivers. The project includes the use of Lake Tahoe as storage reser- voir. The waters of Truckee rivers are used for the irrigation of lands in the vicinity of Reno. Below these lands the river flows through a narrow canyon and then turns to the north, Its waters being lost in Pyramid and Win nemucca lakes.
 In this lower canyon is to be built a canal, taking out the flood and excess waters of the river, which would other wise be lost in the lakes and carrying them southeastWard to reservoir site on the lower part of Carson river, in which at the same time the excess waters of the latter stream can also be used.
 From this reservoir distributing can als are to be built to cover several hundred thousand acres of land near Carson Sink. On this project all the survey work has been completed and the three divisions of the main canal and the diamond drilling for the exam ination of bedrock at the lower Carson damslte have been completed.

ANOTHER INJUNCTION JUDGE.
ST. Louis Jurist Classes Labor Unions With
Commercial Trusts.

Last Saturday in St. Louis Circuit Judge
Taylor granted the Greeley Printing company
a temporary injunction against the ST. Louis
Pressfeeders and Assistants Union No. 43, the
St. Louis Lithographer Pressfeeders' Union
and several similar organizations, on the allie
cations presented that they labor unions
combinations in restraint of trade and are
trusts and labor monopolles. The injunction
prohibits interference with the printing COM
panys business, intimidation OF employees,
posting pickets or doing anything in restraint
of commerce. No returnable order is made.
Judge Taylor said that the defendants, if they
so desired, could move to have the injunction
dissolved at any time.
This is in line with other injunctions,
cured by employers upon false representations,
and based upon the erroneous plea that
labor union is trust 1t is another incident
that should emphasize the fact that the in

menace to the liberties of the American work

their efforts to ettef their industrial condition

But under present conditions workingmen

DESERVES A GOLD MEDAL.
Youthful Little Hero RiAks His Lite to Save

MIR. and Mrs. G.. A. Walker are the happiest
and most grateful parents in Lincoln today,
and Downing Charlton, aged IL, is hero who
is clearly entitled to gold medal for bravery.

son Lawrence, has been spared to them, and
Master Charlton is hero because he risked

took Lawrence on the ice of Antelope creek,
and without warning both broke through
where the water was over four feet deep. The
little girl managed to get to shore, but Law
renee sank. His little body arose to the sur
face just Downing Charlton passed by.
Master Charlton was attracted by the little
girls cries and saw Lawrence's body come to
the surface Without minutes hesitation the
brave lad flung off his coat and jumped into the
icy water. He grabbed the drowning boy and
by almost superhuman effort managed to drag
him ashore. Lawrence was hurriedly taken
home and aside from the shock was not IN

thanked, but skipped out to change his
clothes and meet his playmates. Mr.. and Mrs.
Walker have made public acknowledgment OF
