WHAT'S in A NAME

When you address a letter do you
stop to think of the correct name OF
the town to which your letter is 60
ing, or do you address the town in its
popular styles Do you address it to
"New York City," the popular
name, or to "New York. the correct
name; to "Goldfelds,' or ::Gold-
field,' to Carson or to "Carson
City?'
Thousands of times every day our
~neighboring town down the river is
referred to as Lovelock, while the cor
rect name is Lovelocks and the val
ley to the north is without exception
addressed and referred to as Paradise,
while the correct name is Paradlse
Valley. Occasionally Old Fort, the
correct name of which is McDermitt,
is called McDermott
Lovelock was named after the late
George Loveloek, the ISevada pioneer,
but in the postoffice records it is
named Lovelocks, andthe latter there
fore is the official and correct name of
the place, although the former is the
popular term by which the town is re
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1907-10-10

ferred to.
The same is true of Fort MeDermitt,
which was named after captain Nc
Dermitt.
The postofice department at one
time had a stringent rule forbidding
the payment of money orders drawn
on a certain postofhce unless that
postoffice was correctly named in the
order. This caused a great deal OF
trouble. A money order payable to
the postmaster at Carson City could
not be paid if the order state Carson
instead of Carson City, etc. To do
away with the inconvenience the post
office department modified its rule in
this respect and allowed the post
masters to pay money orders where 1T
was clearly seen that the postofhce
intended was named in the order, even
though the popular name of the place
was substituted for the official and
correct name.
But after this if you want to be
right, address your letted to New
York; and not "New York City
to "Paradise Valley and not "Par
adise.n to "Carson City, and not to
"Carson,' to "~Goldfeld'' and not
"Goldfelds,' etc, etc, ad infinitum.

PROTECTION IS
NEEDED

From the Battle Mountain Herald.
A petition drawn in conformity
with the statute has been signed by
the property holders of the town, ask
ing the board of county commission
ers to appoint a policeman for night
duty. Such action is timely and is to
be commended; not only as a pre-
c~autionary measure but to meet prec-
ent needs. The hobo evil is becom-
ing more and more menacing to the
towns 81 the main thoroughfares, and
as Battle Mountain will soon be on
two great trunk lines, the tin can
t~uorists are expected to become even
more numerous than at present.
The construction camp of the West
ern Pacific will be along here ere
long, followed doubtlessly by the
usual coterie of Weary Willies, and
unless sufficient measures are taken
to conserve the peace, d man will
never know on going to bed of nights
what knight of the road he may have
as a room mate on getting up in the
morning. The petition is to be pre-
sented to the commissioners before
their mex regular meeting, and it
is hoped that the matter when placed
before hem will have their approval
and that they viii lose no time in
making the appointment.

theory only to refute it in some com
PARSONS which he made between the
great volcanic region Of Hawaii and
one of the. smaller craters of the moon.
The facts seem to him to be that the
larger craters on the moon came into
existence when the thin; solid crust
covering the molten interior was, ow-
Ing to the qualification and contra ction
OF the crust, much too small to contain
the liquid material. The .craters, were
therefore formed by the lava bursting
through the crust and so relieving the
pressure. Later: after this relief had

Setting Out Trees

Take the state as a whole, and
how few trees have been set out
upon the farms. In some sections
of the state it is true there are
beautiful groves of trees. and trees
scattered about the farm buildings.
In prairie state like North
Dakota it is of the greatest impor-
lance that trees should be planted,
They furnish protection against
the strong winds of winter; they
make it possible, to grow fruit and
garden stuff more successfully;
they furnish. an abundance of fuel,
and material for fencing, and vet
how often farmers continue to over
look this. ;:
Many of our readers do not seem
to know that the legislature Of 1905
enacted a law giving a bounty to
every farmer or property owner
who planted trees and took care of
the same. This bounty extends
over period of five years, and is
sufficient practically to pay for the
cultivation of trees during the en-
tire period. There is a bounty Of
two dollars for every eighty rods,
two living trees to each rod, and
for every hedge-row along the
boundary lines, or along the public
highway, where The re are two living
trees I'd each eighty rods, the farm
er shall receive a bounty, at the
rate of two dollars for every eighty
rods and for every acre of trees
planted and cared for, so that the
said trees shall stand eight feet
apart each way shall receive three

Quoted annually from the taxes.
Every farmer should therefore,
plan to put out the present year at
least a few trees, and in short
time North Dakota will present a
very different appearance. for there
is nothing that will add greater
beauty and more Of value to the
property of the state than good
growth of trees upon every farm.

PIANOS ARE EDUCATORS
Continued from page l

part as the wealthy iron master,
and have brought their benefac-
tions nearer the mass of the peo-
pie than he has succeeded in do
ing. But we are not accustom-
ed to hearing the packers class
ed as philanthropists when they
have their buying clothes on.
1t is altogether novel. We some
what fear that the diagnosis of
the 'out-of- town packers needs
amendment. If the packers
have been deliberately engaged
in making piano gifts to farm
homes they have certainly broken
all their past records, actual and
traditional. We rather appre-
bend that they have paid high
prices for hogs because theyneed-
ed the hogs and had to bid those
prices to get them. We also
fear that the packer quoted lives
so far in the interior that he is
not familiar with the consump-
tive demand that has for a couple
of years been at the keenest sort
of an edge for pork and its pro-
ducts.
But it is a matter of extreme
indltfe1 ence how far afield this
interior packer has strayed in
his estimate of the situation.
The fact remains that pianos
have, been going into farm
homes ln larger numbers the
past two years than in any other
period of our history. And the
squeal of the departing porker
has been followed by the must
cal tones of the piano. There is
much of cause and effect in this
instance. ..".. .

HOLDING A. CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
ginner In Photography.

Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
ginner In Photography.
One of the most important lessons
for beginner to learn is to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure. Whenever there are corners
Of buildings or other objects which
give vertical lines the camera must be
held absolutely level. If this Is not
done. the building in the picture will
appear to be falling either backward
OF forward, according to the; way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times. however. when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage.
II s. some casss It IL al absolute neces-
sity. For saInpie: Ii photographs 81
clouds. waterfalls. balloons. ETC.. the
camera >may point upward, while In
taking pictures Of people swimming
or bathing. children at work or play.
ETC., it may he pointed downward.
Very successful photographs of
prominent speakers, parades, crowds,
etc., have been taken when the camera
was upside down. 1t makes no differ
ence in the negative whether the cam
era is right side up or not I By holding
the camera In the way suggested many
q photographer has secured good pic
lures. while others who tried to use
the camera in the usual way made alb
solute failures. 49, y -.
