AS OTHERS SEE
CARSON VALLEY

Your country is forty years
ahead OF other portions of the
United States. You have the
grandest and greatest country in
the world" were the expressions
used by C. L. Semereau, repre-
sentative of the United States
Cream Separator company and who
has just completed trip through
Carson valley. "I'he land in the
valley is not only the most fertile
but the most productive and the
the residents of Carson valley are
making money and making it
easier right now than any other
people in the entire country. They
have the tat Of the land. Further,
if you people would arrange so that
settlers could take up land in the
valley within few years there
would be at least fifteen thousand
people in Carson City instead of
the number you now have. The
country adjacent will support such
a population and it is largely your
own faults that you have not the
population"
Mr.. Semereau made a two day
trip in company with John " oods
of the Meyers Mercantile company
through the valley in the interest
of the separator sold by his COM
pany and during the time sold
ihirty-seven machines, a remark
able amount. Semerelu is grad
uate Of Cornell and speaks six
languages huently.-Carson News.

NEVADA Legislature
IN EXTRA SESSION

Last Tuesday, in accordance
with the proclamation issued by
Governor Sparks, an extra session
of the Nevada Legislature convened
at Carson City. The Governors
message was read, touching on the
vital Importance of keeping troops
in Nevada temporarily if not
permanently and devising other
means of protecting life and prop
erty during times of strife and dis
continent among her residents.
The impression prevailing is
that the action of Governor Sparks
in calling troops To Goldfield will
be indorsed by both houses.

was pretty near sure shot to write
him down mining expert, and
the extent of his alleged expert

everybody nowadays wears the

conjecture the vocation of a person.

RALLY IN PRICES AT CLOSE

New York, January 21.-The sudden weakening of the stock market in the last few minutes of the trading on Monday left it's impression on the tone Of the transactions all day today. The heavy unloading of stocks at that time was ac- cepted as significant of the conviction or those who had been buying stocks largely on the advance in a speculative spirit that the rise in prices had reached its present feasible limits. There were apparent at times efforts to nurse the market and ar rest the declining tendency and to invite renewed purchases from outside sources which further that purpose, but the pre- ponderance of speculative liquidation over the absorptiye power of the market could not be concealed A factor in arresting the, decline was the check to the violent break in American Smelling after it had sold down to 63h at which level heavy demand sprang, up from the over-extended short interest in the stock, which lifted it sharply above last nights closing price. The growing dullness of the market on the rally was reliable index of the part played by the covering of short contracts In bringing it about.
 Professional followers of the market fond of pursuing established precedents in their operations, were confident in their expectation of a considerable reaction in the market, based on the rule that follow ing the severe depression of a panic, the first material recovery in prices is likely to be followed by a prolonged sagging tendency. The demonstration of the linn itation on new demand for stocks to be looked for as an effect of the growing redundancy of the money market helped to confirm these views. Other develop ments were made food for the same opin- markets with a definite price tendency thereon established.
 A report was current that J. P. Nor gan was to depart on a European trip in few weeks and the bears drew auguries from this confirmed report that important operations looking to the further rehabili- tation of stock prices were not to be ex- pected after the event. Washington dis patches were considered unfavorable to an advance in prices which said that the governments case against the Hartman railroad merger was to be announced soon and that additional executive documents were to be looked for at early day offering new contentious against corpora tions. Of some effect was also the oppo- sition on the floor of Congress to the plan of leniency toward the coal-earrying rail
