MASON VALLEYS OUTLOOK.
As Viewed by an Outsider.

Yerington and Mason Valley
are feeling the impulse that is en-
tering Nevada's history, and the
fertile but undeveloped valley of
Lyon county will take on new
life and activities if present signs
do not fail.
F. A. Bonham, the Reno real
estate man, has just returned from
that country and states that the
citizens are about to incorporate
their town, build sewers and es-
tablish an adequate water system.
Situated as the valley is, a nat
ural distributing point to the
southern gold fields, it has been
extremely prosperous during the
last few years. The needs of the
mining camps to the southwark
have been largely filled from the
products of Mason Valley.
In discussing the situation at
Yerington, Mr.. Bonham said in
part:
The farmers in the valley are
now jingling coin in their pockets,
and the possibilities for the fur
ther development of the valley are
appealing to the enterprising peo-
pie forcibly.
The farmers could sell three
times the amount they are now
selling to the mining camps if the
valley were developed.
AS an illustration of this the
-four mills at Yerington are strip
ped of their product every month
and additional orders beyond their
capacity and beyond the yield of
their grain fields have to be turn
ed down. And this in spite of the
fact that the valley is capable of
producing an immense yield.
One of the present obstacles is
the uncertainty of the water sup
ply and its lack of adequate dis
tribution. In Spring the water
runs to waste and later in the sea-
son there is not enough to cult
vate anything but a small fraction
of the available land.
The soil is deep, rich and black.
Representatives of the Spreckels
have recently made an analysis of
the soil and pronounce it unex-
celled for the purpose of sugar
beet growing. All that is needed
is more water, or rather, an equal
distribution of it.

High Water Feared.

The river has risen considerably
at this point within the past few
days, and as there is more snow
in the mountains than has been
known for years past, it is feared
that some damage will be done to
ranches when the warm weather
sets in and the snow begins to
melt rapidly.

A .TENDERFOOT IN FRISCO.
lie Found That "D0uble Orders" We're
the Restaurant Rule.

When the fastener spends money
in San9 Francisco nowadays he would
better be on the alert. Otherwise, his
cash and himself may be separated
all too soon, for himself at least.
Should he go to restaurant he would
better ask the price Of the dishes he
orders, or he may find they are much
more costly than the bill of fare would
seem to indicate. 1t is not because
the arrangements OF restaurants prac-
tice extortion.. Not that. 1t is for
the reason that unless such precau-
tons are taken unexpected misunder-
standings may arise which will prove
especially expensive
A New Yorker ordered meal in
SHACK" restaurant in Market street
not long ago and after the waiter left
to communicate his wishes to the
kitchen the visitor reckoned the bill
to be Is cents. There was a sirloin
steak at IS cents (meat costs half a.
much in San Francisco as in New
York; Spanish omelet at 80 cents,
and a cup of coffee at 10 cents. He
congratulated himself on the reason
able prices, for the restaurant, though
housed in rough red wood building,
was furnished as elegantly as before
the fire, when there were plate glass
mirrors panelling the walls and
mosaic floor under foot. The meal
was served and the New Yorker asked
for his bill.
"One dollar and half" said the
waiter, laying the check on the table.
"One dollar and a half?" exclaimed
the easterner tenderfoot You mean
Is cents. See here! You have
charged me double for everything"
That's all right" said the waiter,
"but everything you had was a dou-
BILE order"
"A double order?" shouted the At
lantic coaster. II didn't ask for dou-
BILE ORDERS"
1--WE always serve them unless you
specify to the contrary" replied the
waiter, calmly. And it was all in vain
that the Atlantic coast man remon-
strated, and he paid the bill.

Mrs. Jones husband, Henry Jones, is
defendant to the suit, which is for the

failed to pay her.
Mrs. Jones says that five years ago
she and her husband signed an agree
ment, by which he bound himself to
pay her $40 a month for her personal
use, and by which she bound herself
not to demand from him more than
these monthly payments for her per-
sonal use.
Plaintiff says her husband only paid
her $4S under the agreement, and she
asks for judgment for the unpaid bal
ance of 1852.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones are still living

School Girl Saw Attempt,

The following account of the throw
ing of the bomb at the Spanish royal
wedding is translated verbatim from
a description given by little girl of
thirteen, who was at No. IS Gale

ling from the simplicity of the diction.
1t will be noted that no grown person
was on the balcony with the three lit
tie girls. Had an adult been as close
to the assassin as they were, suspi-
cions could hardly fail to have been
aroused, and the murderous attempt
might have been frustrated.

I a. m, We thought We should have to
stay in the street, for there was such
crowd we felt as if we could never
push through. But one after another
made little way for us, and then a
nice, kind soldier encouraged us and
helped us, and at last We got to the
door of No. So. 1t was barricaded with
planks of wood. to prevent people get
ting into the house, and only had Il
little space left open at the bottom
So We had to go down on our hands
and knees to get under the planks. If
We had stayed there outside we should
have been killed The soldier who was
SO nice to us was killed. The bomb
fell quite close to him, and that Was
where we had made up our minds to
stand, If he had not helped u,.s to get

We had to go to the top of the

girls, both smaller than myself. There
was no one else in the room with us.
When we first went in one of the
ladies in the end room was holding a
bunch of flowers to throw when the
king came, but her husband took it
away from her, because it was forbid

her flowers.
We were very much pleased with our

of us on the balcony, and as we had
to wait great many hours of course
we looked at everything. Down below
there was dear little baby boy, about
four years old, beautifully dressed
such a darling! We never got tired
of looking at him, and his mother was
pretty, too. On another balcony, ex-
actly below ours, there were some
gentlemen. They were very lively
and before the procession came one
climbed up and sat with his legs dang
ling over-at least, so it seemed to us
but we didn't notice him very much
then, for we were all getting very ex-

The next balcony to ours on the tor

companion. Nine. Andreiva. sailed fol
home on the Princess Irene. The
same pair had few months ago lef
the Hotels Bellaire and Lafayette ans
other hostelries in a most unpleasant
! frame of mind.
They have been looking over the
sore spots and slums in this country
with view of comparing "benighted
and money-mad America" with "des-
potic Russia" Ii Gorky and his COM
panion felt any prejudice against this
country. they have conquered it, or. at
least. are able to conceal it.
Since they came here they have
been stung not only by the disappro-
val of the queer Americans" of their
companionship in view ol the fact that
the novelist has in Russia a wife and
two children. but they also apparent
ly felt the sting of poverty as well.
If they feel that the overlooking hos
pitality they expected was turned into
gall they seemed to have forgotten it.
Although Gcrky and his friends had
given it out that he was travelling
through this country to study it III the
light of problem and lesson in So
GEOLOGY. as a matter of fact Gorky and
Nine. Andreiva spent large part Of
the summer in the .Adirondacks in
either self-chcsen or more probably
enforced poverty
Gorky was member of sort OF a
socialist colony at Hurricane. in Es-
sex county. The community was pre-
sided over by a Staten island woman.
Gorky took his trick with the rest.

Apparently Nine. Andreiva was not
eligible for membership in the COL
ony. for she hired out as a waitress,

quite distance from the socialist
ingly receiving such tips as the gen
erous offered.
The once noted actress sacrificed
fame and kopeks for IL principle" and
to be near the famous author. Guests
at the hotel could not help observing
that the trim little woman. with her
handsome face and hair brushed back
smoothly. was beneath her former sta
ton in life. She would alight from
a carriage with the grace of grand
dame and the accomplished actress
she was.
Her identity was finally discovered
through the frequent circumstances
that she and Gorky took long walks
together. They appeared very happy.
They would stop at farm house and
call for milk during their strolls.
They were part of the rugged nature
of the mountains and forests in which
they reveled. On their calm. unmoved
faces was no sign of discomfort.
Il don't care to talk of American or
Americans" said Gorkey when APP
preached. "My views on the people
in this country will be found in my
forthcoming book to be entitled
Mother"
Nine. Andreive was dressed in
dark tailor made gown that fitted her
perfectly.
Il have no feeling against Ameri-
cans" she said. lin spite of their treat
ment of me. Americans are simply
incapable of understanding. We were
delighted with our trip"
