Al. Livingston Dead.

Al. Livingston, one of the early set.
tiers of Nevada, died in San Francisco
Monday afternoon. He had been in
Lanes hospital, suffering from an at.
tack OF blood poisoning, contracted by
having corn pared. The immediate
cause of his death was diabetes.
Mr.. Livingston had lived in Nevada
for 48 years and his name is intimately
connected with the history of Douglas
and Ormshy counties
He was one of the directors of the
State Bank and Trust Company and the
Carson News says that since the closing
OF its doors, his health seemed to wane,
the stigma which he felt attached to his
name wore upon him as burden, and
he appeared to sink beneath the blow.
Mr.. Livingston was born in Exina,
Province of Posen, Prussia, in 1910 and
came to this country when child with
his parents. He was q member of the
Odd Fellows and knights of Pythias. He
leaves a wife and two children. who
were with him during his illness.
The Carson News pays the following
tribute to his memory: So.
When the call is made-as it shall be
to all-what greater word can be said
than He was man." Such were the
words that pessed from mouth to mouth
as the sad story was told, last night, of
the death of Livingston. A man of
friends; man whom it was an honor
to know; a man whose word was his
bond; one of the typical school of the
days when a man considered his honor
worth his life and never forgot the
friendship that one man owed to an
other. May he rest in peace.

Names of Flowers.

1t is interesting to know how GER
tain flowers get their names. Many
were named after individuals: For in
stance: Fuchsias were so called be-
cause they were discovered by Leon
ard Fuchs. Dahlias were named for
Andre Dahl, who brought them from
Peru. The camelia was so called for
a missionary named Kamel,> who
brought some magnificent specimens
Of the flower to France from Japan.
Ho called 1t the rose of Japan, but
his friends changed 1t to camelia.
Magnolias were named in honor of
Prof. Magnet de Montpelier, who first
brought the beautiful. tree to France
from America and Asia Because they
trembled with the wind is the mean
ing Of anemones. The Latin word to
wash is lavare, and lavender received
its name because the Romans put the
flowers into water when they washed
to perfume their hands. ..

CONTACT. A GREAT CAMP

Every mining engineer examining
Contact, Elko county, Nevada, is conf
dent Contact will make. the worlds
greatest copper camp. From the heavy
investments now being made in Contact
mining properties by mining men of
long experience, it is generally conceded
that Contact will quickly make great
er camp than Ely, Nevada, Bingham,
Utah, and Butte, Montana Most in
teresting about this opinion, is the pur-
chases in Contact of mining properties
are being made by mining men at
present interested in the previously
mentioned camps of Ely, Bingham and
Butte. What adds more wealth to the
Contact ores, as compared to those of
other copper camps. is the extra values
in silver and some gold.
The Oregon Short Line has decided to
| begin the immediate construction of a
! line from Twin, Falls, Idaho, through
Contact, to point on the main line of
the Southern Pacific just west of Cobre.
Not only will this give good outlet for
Contact ores, but will very much aid in
the development of the country around
| Contact. This road is being built
principally for the purpose of making
the Montana and Yellowstone Park
traffic several hundred miles nearer the
Pacific Coast by taking this cut off, in
stead of going first to Ogden, Utah, and
to furnish a new route for certain trans
continental traffic destined to Nevada
California points, by avoiding the very
much congested route ut present through
Ogden.
The new TOWNSHIP of Contact, which
will be on this railroad, and the Salmon
! River, is owned by the Western Town
site Company, of Salt Lake City, Utah,
of which Frederick II. McGurrin is
president. These townsite lots will
shortly be offered for SALE in u limited
number, on most favorable terms, and
parties i'll Elko, and other points in
Nevada who wish to apply for or pur-
chase one or more of these lots at Con-
tact, should call on or write Frederick
L. McGurrin, or H. w. Hammond,
Commercial Hotel, Ell1o, Nevada be-
tween now and December 10, 1908.
There is not any raason why these
lots at Contact, at $4,000 each, in easy
payments, should not make as com.
parative fortune for the owners as was
experienced in the other Nevada min.
ing camps like Goldfeld, Tonopah and
Ely. The life of copper camp is much
longer than either gold, silver or lead
as millions OF dollars must be invested
before single dollar in dividends can
be taken ont of the place.

Believing their secret was about to
become public, Harry l.. Ingersoll,
advertising manager at j. Gelino's
Sons, and Miss Geneva Norton, of
DecOrah, I,.ahead milliner in the
establishment, blushingly admitted to
few friends Thursday night that
they were secretly welded at Racine,
Wis, on Monday, May 4, by Rev.
Frank Buxton, at the parsonage of
the Congregational church. 1t had
been their intention to wait until
next fall before revealing the mar
riage, but their happiness was so evil
dent friends began to quiz them and
they decided to make no further ef
fort to keep the matter quiet.
The affair is in the nature of ro-
nance, the friendship of the couple
which resulted in a deeper feeling
later, having its inception through a
meeting while both were employed in
the department store. So carefully
was the wedding planned none of
their friends or fellow-employes sus-
pected the true state of affairs until
the young people unintentionally
gave the secret away.
On Sunday May 9, Mr.. Ingersoll
and Miss Norton left for Racine,
where they were married the follow
ing morning, returning to Kankakee
Tuesday night, and going to their re-
sepective homes. They continued to
follow this course until the announce
ment was made by them Thursday
night. Now they will make their
home at 231 Harrison avenue, where
the groom has been living with his
mother and sister.
Mr.. Ingersoll has been in the en-
ploy of J. Gelino's Sons for about a

Patronixe Home Industries

A movement to aid home indus
tries has been launched in this city
which is commendable one, and
should be heartily supported by
every resident of this city. Mayor
w. D. Burke, accompanied by Thom-
as Dermody, Of Chicago, national
organizer of the Cigarmakers' Inter-
national Union, and Fred Buchholtz,
a prominent local cigarmaker called
on the business men and others Mon
day, urging that as a matter of local
pride and sound business sense,
Owosso products should always be
called for in making purchases.
Owosso makes good -four, cigars,
tables, window screens, furniture,
coffins, mattresses, and dozens of
other articles. Were Owosso people
to purchase home brands exclusively
more people would be employed in
local shops and factories, and more
money would be put into circulation.
