Fear to Admit Identity.

Its really alarming how hard 1t is getting to be nowadays to get person said business man the other day. to admit his identity to stranger" Now. I have a perfectly legitimate line which draws me to a middle class of people and those who are on the edge of so-called society. go to their places of business. Some of them know by sight. I go up to them and ask if Mir. So-and-So is in. knowing at the time he Is the man I am looking for. Half the time the man will reply: No, he's out just now. but I will take .he message.
 "wben he finds out my business he generally laughingly admits his iden- tity and says he thought was a rep resentative of so-and-So. I suppose this is the result of the modern way of living on the installment plan. with collectors af our heels.-

UNKNOWN ARMY
Commissioner of Pensions Talks About the Large Pension
 Roll
2SO,OoO APPLICANTS

Washington, March 23.-"The un- known army has been the subject of much controversy in discussing the forces engaged in the civil war, said Commissioner of Pensions War ner to-day in speaking of the pension roll, but never until the McCumber service pension bill became law was there means of determining anything about its extent. The un- known army has come to be so called largely because it's members did not apply for pensions. This they did not do on account of various reasons of delicacy, pride or indifference, but most of these causes have been re- moved by the passage of the service law, and most of the unknowns, those who have never heretofore asked for pensions, are coming to the front. I think everybody will be surprised at the limited number there are of them. So far there have been about 2S0.00O applications under the new law, but of these only little over one per cent are in the shape of original applications. or in other words, applications of the hitherto unknown possible pension claimants. Certainly the entire number will not exceed 5000. The other 275,000 ap- plications are all for increase and were made by men whose names have been on the rolls in the past
 MT Warner is of the opinion that the great bulk of applications on ac- count of the McCumber law have been received. When the law first went into effect the applications were received in enormous quantities as many as 10000 coming in in one day. The number has now fallen to about 4,0O0 a day and is rapidly diminish ing.
 The records of the pension office show that 2,351 of the civil war pen sioners died in February, but there are still 652,4SS of them left on the pension rolls.

WILL A FUEL famine

VIII Gardnervile suffer for the
want OF fuel for the coming winter
is the question which is confronting
our citizens just Low. Pine Nut
wood is simply unobtainable be-
cause OF its scarity, there being not
enough cut in the hills to build q
good sized bonfire. Some pine wood
is ready for the market in Alpine
county but the dealer. seem very
slow IN making an effort to get it
to market. Fuel dealers in all
other towns in the State are plac-
ing orders with the Western Fuel
company for large amounts Of
coal. tCarson has ordered fifty car
loads to be delivered Immediately.
Arrangements should be made by
this town to obtain a supply of
this coal at the low rates which the
railroad is shipping at this time.
1t will be impossible later on to get
the coal shipped and now is the
proper time to take advantage OF
an opportunity and prevent a
possible fuel famine in this town.

FISH FROM TRUCKEc
ARE IN CARSON RIVER

1t has been many years sine
trout fishing has been as good it is
this summer. Some splendid
catches have been made from the
Carson river and near Gardner
vile. The theory is advanced
that the government irrigation
project in Churchill county is
responsible for 1.-THE existing col-
dition and il thusly explained:
At the upper end Of Carson Sink
the Truckee and Carson rivers
have been made to join. At that
point the former river has fall Of
about sixty feet. We are informed
by civil engineer who spent sew
eral years in the employ Of the
government in that county, that
large numbers of trout are known
pass over the fall, and without the
slightest ability Of again ascending
the stream. From natural const-
quence the trout work their way up
stream, not knowing or caring that
they have become inhabitants VI
of the Carson river.
