Fat Men Set Up -Four Records in a Night

Seldom, If ever. perhaps, has such a
record been made in bowling as was
established by the champion Fat Men
on their alleys last night I'm the match
against the Florists. Not content with
cleaning up the "BloOmers" for the full
three games. they hung up new marks
for games and set in their league and
for any other local league
Their set Of 2,S69 is fifteen pins better
than that made by Agriculture. and
their game OF LOIS Is six pins better
than the Aggies' high game This

makes four records for the team. Then
that Flying DutChman" KraUss went
crazy and made some records on his
own account. His high game OF 81
beats out the former high game in the
District League, held by DeyO, and his
set OF 655 is far and away the best game
in the District League or any Of the
other ten pin leagues this season. Three
records for Harry.
To make their total 81 yht new marks
the Fat Men trimmed the Florists In

Nevada wool growers are in poor
position TO ask for the retention of
the present high tariff on that arti-
Gle, at the cost of the public of a
country in which the laws compel
the wearing of clothing and the eli
mate of which necessitates sleeping
under blankets. Then some few of
us have got into the habit of wear
ing socks and under clothing. The
position of the Neyadan in the mat
ter, however, is made acute by the
turning down in November of Pat
Flasigan for the United States sem
ate. Flanigan's election would have
been equal to declaration on the part
of the people of the state that they
wanted the tariff kept up on WOOL.

THE STATE OF NEVADA IN 1909.

People who keep in touch with the
press in all parts of the state cannot
fail TO note the wave of optimism
that has penetrated to every corner
of the state There is action all
along the line. Mining activity of
the legitimate sort was never before
in the history of the state spread
over to great territory Every
county has new camps coming TO the
front with substantial capitalists and
mining men behind them. The coun-
ties that have hitherto been classed
as largely, If not wholly agricultural.
are proving TO have mineral deposits
that rival the boom days in actual
ore showings.
This new and increased activity
In mining in the state of Nevada Is
not confined to new discoveries alone.
The old mines and the old camps
are being sought out by the eastern
capitalist. New methods of ore re-
duetion makes many dump which
was worthless 80 years ago bonanza
today. This section of the state, es-
peeially. is furnishing some notable
examples of the revival of old prop
critics and of the return of old camps
to the producing list. Statistics along
the line will form one of the most
interesting chapters in the story the
next census will tell of the mining
industry in this state.
Another distinguishing feature in
the progress of mining in this state
next year will be the tremendous in
crease of reduction plants at the
mines The immense saving to mine
owners and TO stock holders made pos
sible by this treatment of Nevada
ores at home. will never be realized
until the report of the government
statisticians is in. Nevada will break

cruise"
Late in the spring of 1907 il was
decided To send the Atlantic fleet on
a practice cruise To the Pacific. When
the purpose of giving this assemblage
of 16 battle ships such practice
cruise, under severe conditions, was
announced. he states, criticism from
high technical quarters was heard.
The undertaking, II was said. was too
monumental dangerous more than
multiplied with numbers In such n
case; battle ships should not be sent
around the globe on any ordinary
occasion; the skeletons of some of
them would doubtless be left is the
Straits of Magellan: and Ii the ship
should round South America, they
would, one by one, arrive with ma
chineries loose and unseryceabie and
with crews refieeting the condition of
the material.
The facts are. Secretary Metcalf
says. that the ships maintained
schedule time. and have practically
taken care of their own repairs on
this cruise. The repairs list sent in at
the naval station. cavite, p. l., have
just been received, and are significant
They show that after the voyage TO
the distant borders of the Pacific. the
needed repairs are negligible. The
performance of the Oregon in 1898

This cruise. as yet hardly half
over, he declares has given us an OPP
portunity TO get better acquainted

with Japan; and has given to those
a better opportunity to get,
