CHILD IS
Daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs
e. J. Walsh Has Mar
row Escape

Today Francis, the oldest daughter
OF Mr.. and Mrs. T.. j. Walsh came
near being seriously injured while
playing at her home west of this city.
The little girl which is four years
OF age in company with her sister
were on their way to the gate to
meet their father. When some dis
tance from the house they came acros
a couple young colts. They stopped
to watch them frisking about and
Francis approached one of them in
order to stroke it. The animal turn
ed. threw It's heels in the air and
one OF his hoofs struck the little girl
in the head over the right eye.
The blow rendered the child I'M
conscious and she was quickly
brought to this city where she was
attended by DR.. Won Radesky. Five
stitches were required to close up the
cash In her forehead and II Is feared
that the right eye is injured as one
of the cords holding the eyeball in
place was severed.
That the child escaped with her
life is a miracle No serious results
are anticipated.

WadSWorth
is Wondering

Considerable work is being done by
the railroad company on the road be-
tween Derby and Wadsworth and the
residents of Wadsworth are mucn
wrought up over it and conjectures OF
all kinds are being made as to the
purpose of the company in doing so
much work on practically abandon
ed road.
New and heavier rails are being
put down and the track is being
straightened and the roadbed i'm
proved for the entire distance. 1t is
pointed out by the people of Wads-
worth that this work is not necessary
for the small amount of traffic which
is carried over the road at the pres
ent time. Only one train a day is
run over the road This is the
Wadsworth local which goes down in
the morning and back in the evening.
Railroad officials at Sparks are ret
icent about discussing the work,
merely stating that the improve
ments are needed to make the track
safe.

POGO TEMPO
LOOKIkGGOOD
Development Shows an
Increase in the AS
say Value

About six years ago a corporation
was formed by local people and a
small amount of POGO TEMPO Min
ing Company's stock was sold in Car
son for the purpose of developing a
large silver-lead cropping in the
north end of Antelope valley. The
ledge, while large and well defined
persisted in keeping just little too
low grade to be shipped at a profit,
and after exploring the vein to
depth of one hundred and fifty feet
without finding any quantity of high
grade and on adverse reports from
prominent mining engineers, one
fourth of the stockholders declined to
pay an assessment and were sold out
last month. The remaining stock
holders, however, continued develop
ment work, and now on the 20O-foot
level they have 22-foot vein of clean
ore with a streak of five or six feet
that carries S12 per ton in gold and
S25 in silver.
Six years ago sthis grade Of ore
could not be shipped at a profit; but
now. with the V. and T. IS miles
nearer the mine; shipping charges
reduced about one half, this grade Of
ore can be shipped from the mine to
Salt Lake and reduced at an expense
of less than $50 per ton, leaving the
mining company SIS to $40 per ton
for mining.
Connection is now being made be-
tween the auit or 200 foot level and
the old workings so feet above for
ventilation and stopping purposes, and
! telephone line constructed to con-
meet the mine with the Wellington
line and Carson. When these i'm
provements have been made the com
panv will commence mining ore for
shipment.

ing gold prospect adjoining the POGO
TEMPO property.

FLANAGAN
GETS IN LINE
And Will Have Name on
Ballot if Given the
Nomination

Upon the arrival of Senator T.,
l.. Flanagan in Reno yesterday he
was handed the letter addressed to
him by Senator Newlands suggesting
that the two candidates for United
Staes Senator at the fall election
should place their names on the Off
cial ballot and let the wish of the
people as to their election be carried
out This means that the choice OF
the people at the polls will be car
as the election of Senator goes.
Mr.. Flanagan stated in an interview
yesterday in Reno that he intended to
make a house to house canvass
throughout the State and would give
Newlands the race of his life. The
plan seems to meet with the genuine
approval of Mr.. Flanagan and he i'm
mediately wired the letter of Senator
Newlands as follows:
RENO. New. Aug. 10, 1908.
Hon Francis G.. Newlands,
Reno, Nevada.
Dear Sir:-UDOn returning to Re
no this morning I found your letter
relative to the coming election of
United States Senator awaiting me.
ITO a cerain degree l believe that
it is hardly fitting that l express an
opinion at this time which might be
construed as an attempt on my part
to set forth the opinion of the Re-
publican party in regard 10 your pro-
posal to allow the names of the can
dates for United States Senator to
go upon he official ballot and be
voted upon lirectly by the people,
"The Republican convention has not
yet assembled, and it would therefore
pe presumptous for me to attempt
to dicate a policy to be followed at
the coming election when it is not yet
known who the Republican conven-
tion will endorse for the high office
at issue. The Democratic convention
also. has vet to assemble and endorse
its candidate.
Il would say, hOwever-anG this is
merely to be taken as an expression
| of an idividual opinion that ] sub
scribe most heartily to any measure
which makes it possible for the peo-
pie themselves to register directly
their approval or disapproval of any
mans candidacy.
But, as I said tefore, it wor'' be
unbecoming of me to attempt to say
what the lines shall be followed b.
! my party at the coming election, mas
much as the Republican convention
is yet to meet and map ou it's course
in the coming campaign and name
the man who is to be the endorsed
candidate of the party for the Office
of United States Senator & he COG
ing election.
"As an individual, however, I an
heartily in accord with the sugges
ton that has been made, and were
the candidate for any Office 1 SHOULD
be perfectly willing to leave my can

pasture and that it cannot be depend

years pasturing, will suggest at
once the idea of rotation of
crops on a few small fields near the
farmstead in which the crops may be
conveniently pastured A hog pasture

sirable places to grow corn.
Such piece of corn land. If fenced.
could very easily and proftably be fed
OF with hogs. Corn land disked and
well prepared Is an excellent place to
grow any kind of a grain crop, and
clover sown with the grain crop on
such soil has an excellent chance of
being in good condition for pasturing
the following year. Thus a productive
three-year rotation is naturally worked
out. See Fig /.

REASONABLE" LOCAL OPTION.

A Spokane publication is authority
for the statement that some members
of the coming legislature. who feel
that the action of the republican con-
vention in adopting local option
plank binds them to support some
reasonable" measures, and that
from their point of view a reason
able" measure would be one in which
the county is made the unit, except
in cases where the county contains
a city of the first class, in which in
stance the city shall not be included,
but shall constitute unit themselves.
"This is the definition of the word
reasonable" as defined by those who
feel bound to support some kind of a
local bill. but who are opposed to the
bill which will be submitted by the
anti-saloon league. This latter prov
ides for local option by counties, in
corporated cities or towns and country
precincts.
County option also is the kind of a
bill which is most acceptable to the
ROYAL Arch and TO the saloon interest
generally. who have given UP all hope
of defeating the passage of local OPP
ton bill, and who will now devote
their entire strength to securing the
passage of bill which will do them
the least damage.
This is the bill which is said to
have received the approval of those
members elect of the legislature who
really do not want local option bill
passed but who feel bound by the re-
publican platform to pass some kind
of a bill along this line.
Such a bill has already been drawn
up and will be introduced early in the
session, both in the house and the
senate, and an attempt will be made
to get in upon the calendar ahead of
the anti saloon league bill.
For the past week or two advocates
of such bill have been going over the
state seeking pledges from members
of the next legislature that they will
support such bill. and it is said that
in the case of nearly every member
who emphasized the word treason
able" in his anti-election statement
that he would vote for local option,
the pledge had been given.
The present indications are that the
fight for local option at the next SEES
sion will be between the advocates of
the reasonable" bill and those who
favor a bill along the lines asked for
by the anti-salo on league.

In use three years out of four, rath-
er than two years out of three.
In laying out a rotation for hogs
the number that it is desired to keep

larger the fields used other things be-

ing per acre, and the more convenient

Is not advisable to fence hog tight
