BOB soMERs IS DEAD

SPARKS, New, March 11.-Robert
somers, one Of the early miners and
prospectors Of Olinghouse canyon
died last evening at the home of his
brother in-law, Ralph Morris, at Derby.
Mr.. Somers was in the best Of health
up to a few days within the time of
his death, when he was stricken with
quick pneumonia and as the hours
passed, he grew alarmingly worse. A
physician was Immediately summoned
and everything possible was done to
save his life.
Last evening, surrounded by near
relatives and friends, he passed into
the Great Beyond.
Mr.. Somers was associated tn the
early days of Olinghouse Canyon. when
the present thriving camp was in its
infancy. In those days he and his two
partners located the famous "Forlorn
Hopeo claim, which recently sold for
a considerable sum, nearly $50, 900.
This sale brought the owners. of
which there were two, Mr.. Somers and
Mr.. Norris, about $4,000 each. After
this sale Mr.. Somers went to Cali
fornia for a time and then returned TO
Derby, where he has been residing
with his brOther-in-law for some little
time. 1t was there that he was taken
i'll.
The name Of Bob Somers is a watch
word among the mining men of the
state Of Nevada, and in his unfortun-
ate demise the state will lose an esti
mable citizen and man.
The funeral arrangements have not
yet been made. but it is probable that
the body will be shipped to California
and bur ed there. Mr.. Somers' home
was in California. near Bakersfield
where he was employed for some time
as engineer.
Besides a grief stricken wife Mr..
Somers leaves n number of relatives.
both in this state and California, to
mourn his untimely death.

passed an ordinance forbidding the

that the state law requires that this
be done, but inasmuch as there is no
one in the community specially charg-

state law is enforced, and the police
were directed to see the city ordin-
anct enforced, it was natural for the
engineer to abide the regulations Of
the latter.

We are not aware as to who had
charge Of the placing Of that sign
board dividing Dorchester and Bcrke-
ley counties at -Four Holes swamp,
but it is very evident that some of
President Roosevelt's simplified
spelling was used by the person who
did the painting. On this side of the
board is marked "DORCHESTORu
and on the other "BURKLY. Dor.
chester Eagle.
This reminds us somewhat of the
names OF our streets which have been
posted by the city council. For in
stance, the spelling Of Boundary
street as Boundry', and the spell
ing of O'Nrall as "O'Neal." tt is
at least, some satisfaction to know
that Ncwbrrry is not alone in the
matter Of bad spelling, but then there
is n" rule for spelling proper names
and if Roundry' in this instance
is the name of Il street, probably the
Incense which is permitted in the
spelling OF proper names will excuse
our city fathers for posting the street
rs 'Boundry. And. yet as we have
sad heretofore, some of the resident
ct Boundary strcN are willing to
make a contribution in order to have
the name of the street spelled cor
rectly.
Since writing the above, we have
been Informed by Alderman Green
that in ordering plates for the
streets the city council has included
plates for Boundary and O'Neall
streets with the correct spelling.

THE LAST OF THE MoDOCs.
A Once Powerful Indian Tribe That
Is Fast Passing.

Placidly smoking the pipe OF peace,
apparently forgctful of the cventful
past, about fifty Indians, relatives
and survivors of the renowned Mo-
does, who took part in the most inter-
esting Indian rebellion in American
history, are living on allotmcnts near
Miami, |. II. These fifty are, perhaps,
the only survivors or relatives of thu
once powerful tribe.
The Modocs, it will be remembered,
were an Indian tribe of nothcrn Cal
ifornda and Southern Oregon In
1872 they became turbulent and re-
fused to remain on their reservation.
General f. r. S. Candy, veteran of
the Mexican and civil wars, was sent
against them, but they, after firing
on the UNited States forces, retreat
ed to the lava beds. The advance of
| the /. :. troops was greatly impcdcd
by the peculiar Typography Of the
country, and good many Of them
were picked OFF by Indian sharp
shoots concealed behind the rocks ana
crags of the lava beds. Efforts were
then made to negotiate with them,
and a conference was held between
General Candy and two peace com
miSsioncrS. on the one hand, and u

We direct attention to what MIR. B..
f. Taylor has to say in regard to the
cotton seed product Of the county in
connection with the introduction of
the boil weevil in this state. There
can be no doubt of the fact that the
farmers of the south have not vet
realized the gold mine which they
have in cotton and its allied product.
For great many years the seed Of
the cotton was not considered Of much
value, and was only handled in such
way rs to secure enough planting
and then the remainder was thrown
on as a fertilizer.
When cotton seed oil mills first
came into use, great many farmers
thought that it was mistake to have
the oil take from the seed, and that
tile seed should be used as il had
been for a fertilizer. 1t has been
demonstrated, however, that the
meal, after the oil has been extracted
and the hulls removed, is better for
fertilizer than the raw seed and that
the hulls and meal combined make a
better food for cattle than the raw
seed.
Besides that. the price which is re-
crlrcd Cor the seed l.; considerable,
item and adds very much to the wealth
which is produced from cotton. We
call attention to what Mr.. Taylor
says about The Importance of hand
ling the seed more carefully in vet
ting them ready for market. II will
be noted that he says that the cot
ton seed is worth as much per BUSH
cl aS wheat and cotton in the wheat
and cotton sections Of this country. As
matter Of fact our people, and es-
pecia}ly uur farmers, could make a
great deal more if they were moro
careful in the handling of their farm
products.

The new river line between George
town and Columbia is now in active
operation. Only last week the "City
Of Columbia' came into port at Co.
lumbia with full cargo Of 100 tons.
1t is claimed that freight which will
leave New York and Baltimore each
Friday for Georgetown will reach Co.
lumbia by Monday morning. The
average trip is about ten days. That
is really as quick as freight can be
received from these points by rail,
and it frequently happens that it
takes much longer time.
Mr.. }. w. Smith, who is the man,
ager Of the line, is working up busi-
ness for it and will soon demonstrate
to the people of Columbia that it is
very largely to their interest to give
this line their business. The rate is
at least 25 per cent cheaper, and as
the freight can be brought from New
York to Columbia in ten days there
can be no complaint Of the time. The
permanent establishment of this line
from tho coast into Columbia will be
OF great commercial value to all this
section Of the state.
