Fruit Crop
a Heavy One

The fruit crop in this valley will
be the heaviest harvestered in many
years. The trees are actually bending
to the ground with the loads of fruit
hanging to their branches, which
is mostly of very fine variety.
The fruit crops through Washoe
Valley are also heavy this year and
the farmers there anticipate very
light market for their produce OWNS
to excellent crops that will be harv-
ested throughout the state. The
California crops are also very heavy
this year and it is stated that the
orange crop of Southern California
will exceed any previous production,
a value of thirty million dollars having
been placed upon lie output from
oranges alone in that section.

No Truth in
Report of Suit

RENO Aug 1.-THE much talked
OF suit of the past few days to be
instituted by Governor Sparks, backed
by the Southern Pacific company,
seems to have been very much of the
"hot-air" variety. The Givernor was
asked regarding the matter last night
and stated that while he considers
himself responsible for the bringing
OF capital to this city to bore for oil
through the work accomplished by
Franks whom he had employed to
prospect the district for oil, that he
would do nothing to retard develop
ment and sincerely hoped that the
efforts of the company now in op-
Grafton would be rewarded with a
"gusher." He stated that the asser-
ton that the Southern Pacific were
backing hi..s in the suit was entirely
without foundation as was the rest OF
the report. t

Meeting Of City Trustees

An adjourned meeting of the city
trustees will be held at the court
house this evening to consider sever
al important questions that were not
fully disposed of at the last meeting
of the body.
It is expected that the district at
torney will have report ready on the
legality of the two franchises which
will be one of the matters taken up.
One company is represented by Car
son and Goldfield capital while the
other appliations comes from Salt
Lake people.
Another matter of grave importance
which will come before the meeting
is the matter of municipal water. The
board have several water rights under
consideration with a view to purchas-
ing the same. This, in our opinion
is one of the most important matters
now before the trustees and the city
of Carson The fact that this city
has UOcu OILuudCc Ill Tc6dIu W
in the past is no guarantee for the
future and steps of some description
should be made whereby this city
will be able to cope with a fire of
large dimensions. We have the men
and they are as good and prompt as
any in the country. We have fair
amount of fighting apparatus, not
enough by any means, but the prin
cipal thing that we haven't got is the
WATER. At the present time the
pressure in many parts of the city
is extremely low, so low in fact tha,
block of valuable property could be
wiped off the map before the nee
essary supply could be available fol
the use of the firemen. 1t is bac
condition to be in. A test made by
an insurance underwater on plus
on the main street of this city mo-
long ago revealed the fact that there
was but 80 pounds of water pressure
carried in this main which is the

most important one in the city. This
is undoubtedly the prevailing condi-
ton at the majority of the fire plugs
in the city and with that pressure the
firemen would have practically no
chance of coping with conhagration
of any size. 1t will be considerably
cheaper in the end to pay a little
more taxes for the purpose of putting
in a municipal fire system for this
city than to pay a heavy increase in
the insurance rates.
fore the board tonight is the applica-
ton from owners of the slot ma
chimes for a reduction in the license
now being charged them by the city.
The last session of the legislature
raised the state tax on these gambling
devices and now the owners ask the
city trustees to reduce the tax the
city is charging them and make it
conform to the old rate.
uA1O SAC SlOI "oNAAACo nave 0SSA
the source of considerable revenue
in the past to this city we see no
reason why the license should be re
duced. 1t is generally acknowledged
that the machines in this city are
we'll patronized and this being the
case it is certainty that the revenue
derived therefrOm is a fat one. The
slot machine is a gambling device
that was never made to be beaten
1t is a sure thing winner for the mel
who owns and operates them They
get the stray nickles from half the
boys of the town. If thy do any
good we fail to see it.
This is wide open state when il
comes to gambling. The slot ma
chine has just as much right here a:
any other gambling device, but it i:
practically a surething proposition
we'll patronized in this city and the
operators of the game are certainl.
able to pay the license as it stands.

The work of defining 11O miles OF
the boundary line between Nye and
ESmeralda counties. which have
never been surveyed, will be taken
up this fall and the disputed ques-
ton settled. Since the boom began

appointing joint survey and to alb

surveyors will be selected at the Sep

DEATH OF GEORGE A. CULVER
Former Cashier Of Bank Dies in
Washington Sanitarium

1t was with deep regret that news ol
the death of George A. Culver, former
cashier of the Farmers National
Bank, was received here ON Saturday
night.
Mr.. Culver died at 7.SO p. M. satur-
day in Washington at a sanitarium
where he was under treatment for his
health. lie has been in feeble health
for some years, but began to rapidly
decline after the death of bis wife,
Mrs. Katherine 5. Culver, which oc-
CURED about three years ago.
Mr.. Culver was connected with the
Farmers National Bank OF this city
for period of thirty years, twelve
years of which he was cashier. He
resigned his position as cashier a year
ago last spring because of Ill health,
and was succeeded by Mr.. l.. Dorsey
Gassaway, the present incumbent.
Mr.. Culver was 68 years old. Death
is said to have been due to Bright's
disease, of which he had been a suffer
er for some years. Mr.. Culver was
born in Palmyra, y. Y, and an i'm
teresting fact connected.with his early
life is that he held the principal ap-
pointment TO the Naval Academy, for
which the late Admiral Sampson
held the alternate appointment, and
it was Mr.. Culver's decision to refuse
the appointment that gave young
Sampson his chance to enter the
Navy.
Mr.. Culver and Admiral Sampson
often talked the incident over later
in life. when they were both in An
DapOlis. Shortly after this the civil
War broke out and Mr.. Culver enlisted
in Troop A, First New York Cavalry,
in which he rose TO be first sergeant.
However, his health broke down and
he was transferred to clerical work at
different headquarters. He came to
Annapolis as a clerk at the headquar-
ters of General Burnside, when the
Army of the Potomac under that Off
Ger was fitting out for its well known
campaign.
After the war Mr.. Culver returned
here, went in business and finally be-
came connected with the Farmers
National Bank. Since his service
with the bank he had lived in Annap-
oils, but in August last his health be-
came such that he went 10 Washing
ton to undergo treatment. The moth
er of the deceased, who has reached
the advanced age of % years, is now
living in Palmyra, y. y, as is also
sister. There are thrse surviving
brOthers-two living in California and
one in New York.
