OVER MILLION
DOLLARS YEARLY

The hay and grain crops OF
Carson Valley during the year
1907 brought the farmers the
grand total of 81 100000. This
only includes the hay and grain
crops and is undoubtedly the larg-
est amount ever received by them
in single year. A recent report
carefully compiled by the govern
ment reveals the fact that about
$4,000 acres are under cultivation
nl this Valley and during 1907
each acre produced on an average
of 3 tons and brought $40 per ton
or $50 an acre. The amount of
water used was about miners
per acre or |. .5cuDic feet per minute
In Nevada SO miners inches are
equal to one cubic of water per
second.

Thousands of American women

What man would not, if he
could, give his child some part
of the joy of the artists percep-
tons, some of the peace of the
sage, some Of the strength of the
conquerer? Well, and the moral
of this is, as Alice's duchess
used to say: AS we choose today,
not only so shall our life be in
the future, but so shall the life
be which our children inherit.
And so the main business of life
is to pause long enough to look
around us and reflect and choose
wisely what is worth while.

The Horse.

Waxhaw Enterprise.
1t is no exaggeration to say
thata horse possesses about every
human instinct and faculty but
the power of speech. 1t there
fore suffers as much from bodily
injuries as a man does. And peo-
pie who live on the outer edge of
town and who have sympathy
for the poor dumb animals are
often sorry to see the punish
ment that owners infict upon
their horses when driving into
town. It seems to be the desire
of a great many to drive in town
at the very fastest possible gait,
and often when the horse is 60
ing as fast as he can, the driver
is laying on whip with all his
might and continues to lay it on
until he gets through Main
street. About the only person
who thinks in makes a man look
bigger and better to drive into
) town under whip and lash is the
man himself, and if you knew
him that would be about the big.
gest thing in his estimation that
he ever did or ever aspired to
do.

MR.. FOWLER
RENOMINATED
Congressman Named at Fifth
District Republican Con-
vention on Monday
SENATOR EiILLERY CHAIRMAN

The Fifth District Republican con-
vention was held in Phillipsburg on
Monday. 1t was so generally under
stood that Mr.. Fowler's denomination
was assured that less interest than US
ual was taken in the convention, al
though those in attendance showed no
lack of enthusiasm.
Former Senator Jacob Welsh, of
Morris county, called the convention
to order, after which Senator T. Ell. Hill
lery was chosen chairman Following
the reports of committees, during
which the platform was presented, A..
e. Woodruff, of Railway, placed Mr..
Fowler'S name in nomination. The
nomination was seconded by John 1. B..
Reilly, of Warren, and by William HI.
Annis, of Morris.
After his nomination Congressman
Fowler was escorted to the hall and
spoke upon the currency question,
pledging his support to the reform
measure which he advocated. Taft
enthusiasm ran high throughout the
convention. In the speeches by Mr..
Fowler and Mr.. Reilly Bryan was de-
nounced. Mr.. Reilly called the Demo-
cratic candidate "a purposeless coiner
of words" Congressman Fowler re-
ferred to his principles as destructive
and disastrous to the business of the
country.
The platform of the convention in
cluded an Endorsement of the Roose-
velt policies and the expression of con-
fidence in Judge Taft's ability to carry
them out. 1t seconded Taft's position
as to tariff reform and ended with an
endorsement of Mr.. Fowler's currency
measure.
Representative Fowler has been a
conspicuous member of Congress for
many years and gained much promin-
ence last year by his asset currency
bill. He was born at Lena, ILL.,, on
November End, 1852, and is in the
banking business.

AUTO FUEL CAUSES FIRE
Cars, Two Barns and Repair Shor
at Mount Tabor Burned.

Cars, Two Barns and a Repair Shop
at Mount Tabor Burned.
While an automobile of f. D. Ogden,
of Bayonne, was being backed into his
garage on the Mount Tabor campmeet-
ing grounds at six O'Clock last Tuesday
night, the gasoline became ignited and
set fire to the building, which was cen
sumed, together with Ogden's two
cars.
The fire spread to the barns of Mrs.
Ella J Roe and V. E. Barnum and the
building containing the plumbing and
repair shop of e. Hill. These buildings
and nearly all their contents were en-
tirely burned. Three horses and car
riage which were in one of the barns
were saved by Theodore Wood. Sew
eral autos with extinguishers and men
from Rockaway went to Mount Tabor
but all they could do was to assist the
residents in preventing the flames from
reaching the cottages.
The Morris Plains fire department
also went to Tabor but could do little
as the hydrants at Tabor did not haye
standard threads and the Plains
boys could not attach their hose.
The total loss is estimated at from
$5, 900 to $4,000 and is partly covered by
insurance. The insurance on Mr.. Og-
den's machine is said to have expired
recently.
