Long Illness
Brin9SDedfh

Miss Annie Bull died in San
Francisco last Monday after an
illness lasting for several years.
Three years ago she suffered a
stroke ef paralysis and since that
time her health gradually grew
worse until death relieved her OF
sufferings. She went to San Fran
cisco three months ago and was
under the care of phyciclans when
the end came.
Deceased was h =. IN Carson
Valley, February, 25, 1872. Here
she resided with her parents during
the greater part of her life. She
was of very quiet disposition
and through her long ordeal OF
sickness she complained but little
of her sufferings.
The remains arrived from San
Fra ncisco Tuesday and the funeral
took place Wednesday afternoon
from the residence of Israel Jones,
Rev. Emigh officiating. All that
was mortal of this estimable young
lady was laid to rest in the Motifs
vile cemetery.
To mourn her loss she leaves an
aged mother, as well as three
sisters, Agness Bull, Mrs. Isarel
Jones and Mrs. Stock, and FIVE
brothers, James, Robert, Victor,
George and Fred Bull, all whom
are residents of this Valley. A
half sister, Mrs. Thurston resides at

Death of
Mrs. Smith

Carrie, the beloved wife of Geo.
NJ. Smith, passed away at Reno
last Tuesday night after an illness
of long standing. A few months
ago her condition grew alarmingly
worse and she consented to an
operation. However, the surgeons
found, upon making thorough
examination, that her side was a
mass of tumors and that their re-
moval would hasten death rather
delay it. She was taken home
and her husband was made ac-
quainted with the sealed fate Of
his wife. Through the long days
that followed he was a constant
watcher of the sic6; through the
vigils of the night he could see the
life-light slowly but surely ehbing
from the frail form of his devoted
wife. Surrounded by few loving
friends the end came AS though she
entered peaceful sleep.
Deceased was native of Illinois,
aged 53 years and 8 months.
While quite young girl her
parents moved west. Later she
met Geo Smith and they were
married. At the time he WAS
editor of the Genoa Courier They
resided their until about eight
years ago when the newspaper
plant was moved to Gardnerville.
A few years later the sold out and
moved to Reno.
The remains arrived on yester-
days train and were taken TO
Genoa where the funeral services
were held. She was laid To rest
in the Genoa cemetery and by the
the side of her only child who was
drowned about twelve years ago.
She silently rests by the still
waters of peace.

Boy Takes Up Long Walk Again.

from Chehalis, Wash, to Portland,
footsore. penniless and hungry, IT.

Roosevelt's Wish Alters Nice-Pr,---
Dental Speculation.

Chicago, June 15.-It Is stated
that the administration prefers either
Senator Dolliver or Governor Cum
minis of Iowa for the nomination for
Vice President.
After eaucuses had been held to-
day by several delegations which
have been charged with harboring
sentiment for the denomination of
Roosevelt, regardless OF their tn
structions for Taft, the possibility OF
a stampede in the convention does
not seem SO strong as 1t did last
night.
A sensation was caused last night
by the unexpected arrival here OF one
of the Presidential candidates. I'm
Gle Joe" Cannon. He arrived from
Danville late yesterday, going TO the
Union League Club, where he was
soon in conference with some OF the
most prominent leaders Of Congress.
1t soon developed that Speaker
Cannon's coming was in connection
with the platform and that a very
brisk contest on some of the planks
was in prospect.
1t is not only the Speakers per-
sonal view that an anti-injunction
plank such as is proposed. would be
unnecessary and unwise, but a.
Speaker of the House he feels that
the formal action OF the Republican
membership taken only q few weeks
ago and strongly expressive OF oppo-
sition to such legislation should re-
ceive serious consideration before
such plank is finally introduced as
the pronouncement of the party to
the country.
The anti-injunction plank OF the
platform as passed upon in Washing
ton is as follows:
I'VE declare for such an am nd
ment of the statutes of procedure In
the Federal courts with respect to
the use of the writ of Injunction rs
will, on the one hand. prevent the
summary issue OF such orders with
out proper consideration, and on the
other will preserve undiminished the
power of the courts to enforce their
process, to the end that justice may
be done at all times and to all par
ties"
Labor leaders are urging the adop-
ton of this plank, while employers
are opposing it.

The completion of the klamath ir-
rigation project in Southern Oregon
is being delayed by the unfortunate
attitude of large landowners, who are
holding their property for speculative
purposes, thereby retarding develop
ment.
The situation at klamath is unique
for this is the only government pro-
iect in the West that is largely held
in the grasp of spectators; the only
one where lands are not cultivated
as soon as water is made available.
Because of the utter lack of co-opera-
ton between landowners and the gov
eminent, money in the reclamation
fund is being diverted elsewhere
money that could and would go to
klamath if the people showed the
right spirit.

MARSHAL ROUNDS Is ORDERED
TO RESIGN OR BE
DISMISSED.
Holding of Lands for Fancy Prices
Retards Great Irrigation
Project.

Washington, d. instructions have
been sent to Assistant Attorney-Gen-
eral Cooley at Boise to call on United
States Marshal Ruel Rounds and de-
mand his resignation, and II he re-
fused to resign Mr.. Cooley was in
structed to dismiss him, as he had
previously dismissed District Attor-
ney Ruick.
Mr.. Rounds will be succeeded by
R. L. Hodgson, who has been recon-
mended by Senator Borah.
Mr.. Rounds was very active in as
sisting District Attorney Ruick in
working up the case against Senator
Borah and used his influence to Sc
cure grand jury that would be hos
tile to the Senator. 1t was demon
strated beyond a doubt that Mr..
Rounds and Mr.. Ruick we're in a con-
spiracy to defame Mr. Borah. and
the President determined to make a
clean sweep, taking out of Office all
who were party to what he regards
as a dastardly scheme to blacken the
innocent.
While Mr. Ruick was regarded as
the principal offender and prime
mover in bringing about the Borah
Indictment, Mr.. Rounds is blamed for
becoming an accessory, and his Of
Tense is regarded as hardly less seri-
GUS than that of the District Attor
ney. In the eyes of the administra-
ton, the unjustifiable indictment Of
Mr. Borah, returned just prior to the
Haywood trial, was the more afro
cious, as it was evidently arranged to
weaken Mr. Borah in his prosecution
of the men charged with the murder
of Steunenberg.

has no regard whatsoever for state
laws regulating the manner of elect
ing Senators. This being the prece-
dent. and the Senate a body guided
almost entirely by precedent, it is
safe to predict that if the Republican
legislature OF Oregon, on assembling
next January, disregards the vote of
the people on June which seems
unlikely-and refuses to send Gov
'ernor Chamberlain, Democrat, to the
Senate, but duly elects some Repub-
lican in accordance with the provis-
ions of the Constitution, Governor
Chamberlain will not be able to con-
test the Republican so elected. The
Senate would most certainly follow
precedent and hold that the legisla-
ture was not bound by the popular
vote of the people.
