CHAFEY CAMP RECORDS
FIRST CASE OF suicide
JOSEPHINE DEFFRY COMPANY
Is ONE OF THE BEST

The Josephine Deffry company closes
its weeks engagement at the Nixon
opera house tonight. Those who have
attended the performances night after
night during the past week ar loud
in their praises of this company. None
but the warmest words of appreciation
are heard expressed, and the unani
nous verdict of theater goers is that
his is one of the best companies that
has visited Winnemucca this season,
and undoubtedly leads any of the com
panies who play weekly engagements.
The individual members of the
troupe have "made good'' in all the
various roles, and our people who have
attended regularly through the weex
have come to feel well acquainted with
them and have a warm feeling of
friendship for them.
To the towns along the line west OF
Winnemucca where Miss Deffru and
her company are billed to play, ts Sill
yer State News desires to recommend
their shows as worthy of patronage,
and this recommendation is backed up
by the theater- -goers of this town.

TO RECLAIM ARID LAND
OF THE GOLDEN WEST

vents the securing of exhibits Of green
produce, the superintendent of exhibits
is already assembling material from the
western states for the most compre-
hensive exhibit of dry farming pro-
ducts ever made. Agricultural col
leges, experimental stations, railroad
and immigration companies, as well Is
members of the congress will be
called upon to contribute to this show
and we hope to have an exposition
worth seeing.
In connection with this exposition
will be an exhibit of photographs
assembled from all parts of the coun
try, showing the dry farming progress
of the past ten years.
History of the Movement.
Ia January, 1906, a conference OF
dry farming experts and actual farm
ers in the arid districts of the west
was called by the governor of Colo
RADIO and the commercial bodies of
Denver to discuss the problems then
arising in the development Of the dry
farming districts. Instead of scat
tering few enthusiasts assembling, as
was believed would be the case, the
attendance numberer 325 and the con
ference developed into permanent
movement under the official name of
the Trans Missouri Dry Farming con-
gress. Its first president, Mr. Fisher
Harris of Salt Lake City, although
having been furnished no sinews of
war, created national interest in the
work of the congress and the second
congress convened in Salt Lake City IN
January, 1908, with an enrolment of
ESQ, including governors of western
states, heads of federal and state agri-
cultural departments, and actual farm
ers, who assembled from sixteen states
before the farmers in the arid quarters
of the west.
At this congress plans were laid
which made this the most unique
and practictl movement ever organized
in, the United States in that while be.
ing organized partly along the line OF
the great National Irrigation and
Trans Mississippi Commercial con.
crosses, it adopted the plan of having
personal memberships at a nominal fec
annually and the very practical method
of assembling and publishing from
time to time, all information possible
