The readers CT this paper will be
pleased to learn hat there is at least
disease that science has been able
TO cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con.
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrn
Cure Is taken internally, acting dl 'rc;-
ly upon the blood and mucou surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for
any case that il fails to cure. Sent
for list of testimonials.

Chicago, ILL.,, March 4.-Matriconial

United States District Attorney Sims

been letters, application blanks, photo,
graphs and affinity literature submitted
TO the scrutiny Of a grand jury.
A Few Questions.
Some of the questions asked in the
application were:
What is the value of your proper

What amount do you expect to in
hertz"
What is your disposition"
Dress stylish or p~lain?"
One picture submitted was of a wei
known actress who says she had made
no application. Other instances o.
fraudulent use of pictures have beer
submitted to the grand jurors.
Deny Any Correspondence.
In each case the person whose pic

advertised extensively in magazine
and papers under such headings a
"Are you unhappy" DO you want t,

Easily Cooked Dinner.

Take a two gallon butter jar, one
that is as wide as it is high. Wash
the roast, season to taste, place into
the jar dry" with no water what
ever. Have a good cover, weighted
heavily, to keep the steam in. Place
the jar on an asbestos mat over a
slow coal fire or gas burner at $50
a. m. without a second thought about
your roast until noon, and you will
find it beautifully done. The gravy
juice Is golden brown and ready for
thickening while the potatoes are boil
ing.
No GRAVES compare in flavor and
smoothness to this kind. Even the
cheapest cuts of meats become tender
and delicious with this treatment and
the process needs no watching" or
blasting" at any time.
The estimates for cooking are as
follows: Beef, 80 to 40 minutes pork,
20 to 30; lamb, 20 TO 25; chicken, 80
to 35 tame duck, 40 to 60; wild duck,
80 to 40.

The Champion Liar

There is someone in Elko who has
either vivid imagination or a wonder
full disregard for the truth. This is
meant to apply to the person who sent
the following dispatch from here on the
first of this month:
Following the death of another
laborer, brought in from the Western
Pacific construction camp, the author
tiles are taking steps to have all 'grog
shops" in the construction camps
abolished. There have been an I'M
usually large number of mixups lately
and the "grog shop" keepers are blam-
cd, it being claimed that they sell doped
whisky to the laborers in order to rob
them, and that in some cases the knock
out drops are so strong that the victims
fail to recover" - Il! .5u
We showed this dispatch to the dis
trict, attorney this morning and he
pronounced it ieTmade out of whole
cloth. There has not been any murders
committed in the Western Pacific
camps in this county and the authorities
are not taking any steps to close up the
''grog shops"
The whole dispatch is false and the
man who sent it is fit candidate for
membership in Roosevelt's Ananias
club. In fact, he would be u shining
light in that organization.

The Reasons Why

The inquiry into the leaving of
Company ones hose and hose cart in
the street Sunday night developed the
fact tnat the hose company is very
tired of the treatment it has received
from the fire department..
When the company, arrived at the
hre Sunday night, it stopped at the
hydrant at Mr.. Van Drielen's corner
and attempted to make a connection
with the hose. This they could not do
as someone had removed the Anderson
coupling from the hydrant and replaced
it with one of the old screw couplings.
The hose was all reeled off by the time
the condition of the hydrant was dis
covered and good deal of valuable
time would have been lost in Keeling it
up again and going to the hydrant at
Mrs: Mayhugh's corner. To save this
time, the boys carried water in buckets
and did their part, in this way in
putting out the fire.
The condition in which they found
the hydrant disguised the boys and they
refused to take the hose and cart back
to the fire-house The members of
the company wish it understood that
they do not blame the water company
for the change of couplings on the
hydrant. The fact is that the hydrant
was used by parties making cement
walks. The hose they used had the old
screw coupling and they removed the
Anderson coupling from the hydrant
and put the old screw coupling on,
neglecting to replace the patent coup
ling when they were through using the
hydrant
But the condition of this hydrant
last Sunday night is only one of the
grievances the members of this company
have. Their requests for repairs and
new apparatus have been neglected by
the president of the fire department.
AS an instance of this, Foreman Miller
claims that he notified the president of
the department on the day the demo-
cratic county convention was held that
the bell rope was broken and asked that
new rope be put on the bell. AL
though over two months have passed,
the new bell rope has not been furn-
ished. Again they asked for new
nozzles for their hose, and they have
not been given to the compony, al
though they have been in the presi
dents store for month or more. Fore
man Miller also said the floor of the
fire-house needed repairing and this had
not been attended to-
These things, small though they may
be- have piled upon the boys until they
have come to the conclusion that the
people of the town take no interest in
their organization and do not appreciate
their efforts to protect the town from
fire. That the boys have some reason
on which to base this conclusion is
evidenced by the fact that there has
been no meeting of the fire department
since the present officers were elected
over two years ago.

Rubio canyon is the spot chosen this
year for the annual outing of the
Broadway department stores employees.
This is the jollification given to those
members of the store who are under
16 years of age.
This outing was formerly given to
the entire force of employees, but their
numbers have grown to such propor-
tions that the management found 1t
necessary to include only the younger
members.
The excursion is given under the
personal direction of Arthur Let's.
Three special cars will start from
Sixth and Main at l o'clock, returning
at O'Clock in the evening.
At the picnic there will be great
quantities of lemonade. a wagon load
of watermelons, sandwiches. cakes and
all the other good things that are ap-
propriate.
There will be dancing. a tug of war,
a pie eating contest, potato race, an

the girls. a fifty-yard dash and nail

VALUES OLD TREES
AT A HUNDRED EACH
PACIFIC TROLLEY OFFICIALS
WOULD CHOP THEM
Needed Extra Track on the Pasadena
Line May Prove Costly if the
Appraisers Report Is
Sustained

Trees at 800 each is the estimate
Appraiser A. Z. Weiss put on sixty
three ancient landmarks at the home
of Fred Short, known as the Villa,
which stands back of the crossing of
the Pasadena and other foothill cars
at Mission road, near the city limits of
Los Angeles.
The Pacific Electric interests want
to condemn a strip of forty feet in
order to run an extra track into the
Short property, and this has brought
litigation.
Yesterday, in department z, Judge
Hutton's court, testimony was taken
concerning the value of trees, which
Appraiser Weiss had put at an aver
age of 800. This included cork tree,
said to be the only one of the kind
south of Santa Barbara.
Short has lived on the premises for
many years. The big garden is noticed
daily by thousands in cars or on auto
mobiles. 1t is near this crossing that
because of a row Of eucalyptus firing
ing the culvert on property on the
other side of the Short place, several
automobiles and other conveyances
have suffered narrow escapes from COL
lisions with trolley cars.
In addition to asking the Pacific
Electric people to pay $4,000 for the
trees, the appraisers recommend that
they pay $4,000 for the surrender of
land. to give Short a frontage If the
track is built and further $4,000 for the
land he loses for a street. In other
words, If the court sustains the ap-
praisers the Pacific Electric company
must pay $15,300 to lay a bit of track
at the junction of Mission road and
the short line route.
