LOCAL MASONS TO
JOIN THE SHRINE
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE
FOR A PILGRIMAGE FROM
KERAK TEMPLE.

A number of Masons high up in
the fraternity are forming a class to
join Kerak Temple of the Mystic
Shrine in the near future. Kerak
Temple is located at Reno and has
a large number of members.
There are eleven Knight Templar
and Scottish Rite Masons of this
county who have decided to JOIN the
temple. Local .-asons have taken
the matter up with the temple and
arrangements have been made for
the pilgrimage to Ely 1t will be
one of the biggest affairs of the kind
in local Masonic history and the
members are looking forward to the
event with much pleasure.
Forty or fifty members of kerak
Temple will make the pilgrimage
and will bring the paraphernalia with
them. The degrees will be given in
Ely City, probably in the Gunn-
Thompson building, as there is not
a hall in Ely that is spacious enough.
The Gunn-Thompson building will be
used before the partitions are put
in and will make an excellent hall.
After the work is put on and the
candidates have taken the degrees
the local Masons will provide the en-
'tsrtainment. The affair will proba-
bly, be wound up with an elaborate
banquet.
There are quite number of Shrin-
ers here at the present time and they
will be present to witness their
brother Masons take the degree.
Among those who will make the pill
grimage to Ely are number of
prominent men of state wide reputa-
ton. 1t will also give many of the
Shriners an opportunity to see this
country, about which they have heard
so much. Ely, of course, will ma
turally be benefited by the visit of
the Reno men.
Another Scottish Rite class will
take the degree in short time, quite
a number of Masons having made
preparations for the work.

THOUSAND MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS INCREASE

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-Report that
the earnings of American farmers
are thousand millions of dollars
greater this year than last, is made
in preliminary statement on crops,
which will be. published in the next
issue of the American Agriculturist.
This big gain will be entirely due to
the increased prices of farm products,
as the production in general will be
fully 0 per cent less in quantity than
in 1906, which was the record year
The farmer was never in so heal
thy a position as he is today, finan-
cially, socially, politically, mentally
and spiritually" says the report.
THE increase in the value of his real
estate has been prodigious. He owes
less money than ever before. He has
greater assets than ever The farm
er is in the market for better emple-
ments, household goods and other
merchandise. He recognizes the ex-
ira profit that accrues from the use
of better equipment and better meth
DDS in his business and in his home
Wheat Crop Shows Decline.
'The wheat crop this year will ap-
proXimate 625, 100000 bushels, 15O,-
100000 less than last year. Corn
promises to be within 5 per cent as
much as last year, and with only two
or three exceptions the biggest yield
in our history. The yield of oats
will be about - per cent less than
last year, but there will be almost
the usual quantity of rye, barley,
buck wheat, fiaxseed and potatoes.
The hay crop will exceed last year s
a great deal. Apples will be much
more plentiful than last year. The
increase in the value of these crops
per unit of measurement makes the
total value of each crop this year
considerably larger than last season
Demand Will BE Great.
"The consumption of farm prod
ucts more than keeps pace with pro-
duction. The supply of grain and
cotton is less per capita for these
two years than for the corresponding
period ten years back. The export
demand promises to absorb at fair
prices every pounds of surplus meat,
grain, cotton, etc, that the Ameri-
can people can spare. The grain i'm
porting nations of Europe have only
moderate crops and must import
more food products than usual. 1t
is important to note that the farmers
are getting good prices direct from
the harvest fields this year, whereas
ordinarily prices are low in autumn
and advance after the staple crops
are largely out of farmers hands.

of which is Professor Merkle the
successor of Prof Schell at WurZ-
burg. Recently, amid the applause
of the Catholic students of the uni
versity, he concluded a speech with
the significant words: 1--WE do not
want to impose our convictions upon
anyone, but when people attempt to
take our convictions from us, we re-
member the words of the German
song, 1.-The God who made iron want
ed no lackeys.
OF course, it only remains for the
vatican to push repressive measures
further and to silence Professor
Merkle and his colleagues. But such
action could not be taken lightly,
even when advised by the two Span
ish cardinals, Merry del Val and Wives
Tuto, and here is where Cardinal
Agliardi and other prelates in Rome
expect to make their influence felt.
1t will be demonstrated to the Holy
Father that continued repressive
measures will drive the elite and lit
erati of Roman Catholics into a re-
volt and cause a serious schism in
the lay body of the church as well.

CONSTRUCTING A PIPE
LINE TO COPPER FLAT

pipe line is to be constructed by
the Nevada Consolidated Copper
company from Holt Creek to Copper
h lat, distance of about eight miles.
Engineers have been working on
the proposition for some time and
the water will be used for generating
power for the hoists and also for
domestic purposes. Two springs at
Holt's camp have been cleaned out
and the supply has greatly increased.
The ditch has been dug and some
of the pipe has been laid so it will
not be long when the system is fin
ished. e. P. Arnot, who returned
not long ago from South Africa, had
been experimenting the work but
recently handed in his resignation.

Is DUBIOUS
ON MORE EXPENSE

Dover. Del. April 19.-Dr. Horace N.
Marvin is more convinced than ever
since the statement made here yester-
day by State Detective Frank J.. Lorea,
of New Jersey. that his boy. Horace.
was taken away by a river pirate n
is still in the keeping of said pirate.
and that there is an accomplice on the
Delaware side keeping the Jersey PR
ate informed of the movements mad
here.
The Pinkertons have withdrawn from
the case and it is now up to the state
authorities as we'll as to DIR. Marvin to
use what resources they have in SC
curing the recovery of the Marvin
child.
DIR. Marvin said today that he hardly
knew what to do. He is willing to go
to any expense in the recovery of his
child. but already he has spent a great
deal and does not care to venture too
far unless the clews show some signs
Of being more han what have already
been suggested. Just how much of the
states appropriation of the $4,000 re-
mains could not be ascertained here
today for two reasons: the absence OF
the governor. and the fact that as yet
no warrants have been presented to the
state treasurer from the governor for
any of the money. The original
will still be in the hands of the
treasurer.

25,ooo NEEpLEssLY BLIND.

b Washington Times.
Miss Winfield Holt. secretary of the
New York association. for the blind.
at a conference on blindness. intended
to be primarily a c~hautauqua for prac-
tical workers in philanthropy, held yes
terday in the United Charities building,
in Fourth avenue, illustrated her ad-
dress by a variety OF products, the
handiwork OF the sightless. and by u,
series of interesting lantern slides. each
OF which served to demonstrate how
easily the problem Of the blind can be
solved.
In the course of her address Miss
Holt said: ITO help the blind. we must
get at them and reclassify them; find
out where they are, what their condi-
lions are and how we can help them.
In the census OF 1900 some classified
ton was made.
These censuses all prove that blind
ness is often the result Of poverty; that,
as a rule. the blind are poor; that there
is q shocking amount OF ~preventable
blindness. There are $4,000 blind per-
sons in the United States. according
to the last census. Twenty-Five thou
sand or more have borne the disasters
and hardships of total or partial dark
ness whose eyes. with proper care n
treatment, could have been saved; $500
more could nave been preserved from
darkness by a simple and inexpensive
method, IL mothers and physicians had
known how to treat the eyes OF the
newborn.
This shows that two-nfths of the
blindness in our country could have
been avoided. 1t is obvious that our
first duty is to prevent this needless
suffering. The Law and the state should
head this crusade, which should be sup
plemented by private effort.
There are in New York state over
5000 blind. More than three-fourths
of them lost their sight after the school
age. when the state does not under
take to teach them, and offers them the
hospitality of the almshouses. hospitals,
prisons or lunatic asylums."

ATLANTIC A NEEDS
BETTER ~SEARCHlIGHTS

Washington. April ia statement
by the commander of artillery in the
district of Boston that the joint drills
of IN Massachusetts and regular coast
artillery men next July will be inlpos-
sible for lack of searchlights, causes a
sensation here.
1t appears the success of the defen-
sive work of the great Notifications in
Boston harbor is entirely dependent
on the operation of three searchlights.
These lights are declared by artillery
men to be ridiculously inadequate.
The state of affairs in Boston is said
to be tina which exists in the princi-
pal defenses OF the Atlantic coast.
There are very few sixty-inch search
lights in position. none Of the de-
fences is sufficiently equipped to resist
Il night attack.

estimates that at the present equip
ment more than seventeen years must
elapse before the coast defenses can be
supplied with enough sixiy-inch lights
