Hnu. ,o Psll,h Cows, Horns.

To secure the fine luster on cows horns when they are to be exhibited first scrape lightly with a piece of pumice stone uDtil the surface Is smooth. They are then polished by rubbing with a flannel rag and dusted with powdered pumice stone. Some times a little alcohol is rubbed over them to dry the surface of the horn so that 1t will take a good polish
 The horns of some animals are so soft that 1t is impossible to give them high polish. ...a s

How to Make Excellent Paste.

To make fine paste take two ounces of pulverized gum arabic. one and one half ounces of fine starch and one-half ounce of granulated sugar. Dissolve the gum arabic in as much water as you would use for the starch indicated Mix the starch and sugar with the mucIlage. Then cook the mixture in a double boiler until the starch be- comes clear. It should be as thick as tar. It can be kept indefinitely by the addition of q teaspoonful of camphor or a few drops of oil of cloves.

ATHLETIC CLUB IDEA
MAKES RAPID PROGRESS

Formation of an athletic associa-
ton to give series of indoor and
outdoor exhibitions of various sports,
has been much talked of during the
week and the idea seems TO be popu-
ar among those who care for the
Sighting games especially. These are
anxious 10 see the club formed.
Besides the indoor events IL is sng-
gested that a field meet this spring in
which all of the towns of this dis
triet may compete, would be good
idea. To stir up a healthy rivalry in
sports without doubt does everyone
good. and town. no matter how
small, is benefited by an organization
given over to clean living. without
which no man may be successful
athlete. For this reason as well as
for the pleasure il would give the
spectators. sport lovers are anxious
that the movement be carried to
success.

BIG CROWD READY TO
GO TO SAN FRANCISCO
All Want To See the Fleet, While Side
Attractions of Much Diversity
Are Also Attractive.

Going TO San Francisco Is the
popular query about town. From the
sound that is being made in reply ii
looks as If most of the town would
be in line.
During the week General Passen-
ger Agent Toll of the Northern took
up the matter of rates for an excur-
sion from the city and is expecting
to be able 10 make some announce
ment next week. 1t is probable that
a cheap round trip rate will be Sc
cured over connecting lines.
From present indications 1t seems
probable that there will be enough
people In the district DESTROYS of
making the trip to enable the put
ting on of special train to go
through. Al the present time enough
people have signified their intention
of going TO make up couple of
Pullmans.
Attractions which will prevail at
San Francisco during the time the
feet is there will be of sufficient di-
versity TO afford entertainment for
everybody. From high social func-
tions the program leads clear down
the list to boxing bouts and other at
fractions galore for the sportively in
clined.

THE SPORTS
FISH COMMISSION PLANS WORK.
Program of Culturists Embraces
Many Features of Benefit;
Ban ON Carp.

George I. Mills and l.. Il. Yefing-
ton of the Nevada Fish Commission
were at Verdi during the week for
the purpose of attending TO the fish
hafeheries there, which are among
the most complete in the United
States. Mr. Mills and Dr. Jordan of
Stanford University California. are
regarded as two of the authorities in
plans for the year which are of
wide interest TO all.
At present the commission has
800, 900 Eastern brook trout spawn
as well as 100000 spawn of the Mac
kinaw trout. large species. and they
are trying To secure at least 2.000,-
900 spawn of the famous rainbow
trout from the Traekee river. These
last will be taken TO the Verdi hatch
cries and will be Matched ont about
June or July and when of proper size
will he distributed in all the streams
of Nevada
The Eastern brook trout will be
distributed in the smaller streams the
rainbow trout in the larger streams
and rivers, while the Mackinaw trout
will be placed in the lakes. as they
are lake fish. found in Lake Michi-
gan especially.
Another plan of the commission Is
the distribution of from COCO to 1000
black bass which will be obtained In
the streams of California and Nevada
These fish will be used to help exter-
inmate the German carp which In
habit sloughs and rivers and which
are a nuisance.
The German carp was placed. in
the streams of Nevada some years
ago at the time when they were con-
sidered great boon. Since that
time they have been demonstrated to
be a first-cass nuisance, living on the
food of finer-flavored fish. The bass
are fighters aud IL Is believed will
soon exterminate the carp.

SPRING HAS COME.

That spring, the merriest time of
the year, has come TO stay is the pre-
diction of the wiseacres of the sec
ton. Thaws with great volume of
water in all the streams. balmy
breezes. a temperature barely below
freezing point at the coolest portion
of the day, and last but not least the
appearance of the first straw hat.
The wearer of the hat yesterday
walked diffidently down Aultman
street in Ely wearing on his face IA
shy smile which seemed to court the
consideration of everyone in sight.
People ran to their doors to see him.

of winters grasp on the section.

be meeting with universal favor
among the local enthusiasts. Every
man in the district who likes the

cover of the horsehide sphere. is
doubtless anxious to see the organiza-
ton perfected in the near future. If
the league. composed of Kimberly,
Ely. Ely City. and McGill can be
gotten together il is probable that a
board of managers or other officials
will be elected. These will procure
match games with outside teams. of
which there will doubtless be several
played here during the season. Al
ready the balmy days that have
happened along have caused the
blood of the seasoned player as well
as the rooter to Jingle in anticipa-
ton of the approaching excitement of
actual play and il only needs some
one to start active work to get things
going in good shape.

mind of the sportively inclined the
fact that this branch of the athletic
world is being sadly neglected. even
among the takers only In every
district there are more or less men
who understand at least enough
about wrestling to give good ex-
hibition. What's the matter with
Ely? As for a match. the News has

wrestler in the district who wants

can come across the line with man
who will give as good an accounting
