The reno JOURNAL ON
COUNTY DIVISION

The following from the Reno Jour
nal is of especial interest to the south
ern end of Humboldt county:
"Fights for county division are
usually regarded by the parties to
such contests as being nobody's bust
ness but their own. AS a general thing
this is true, but sometimes it is allow.
able to say good word for people wh
need support.
For that reason we wish to suG-
gest to the people of the more popu-
lous sections of two counties that they
should not object to the more sparsely
settled districts organizing by them
selves. They already have enough to
maintain a county government without
great injustice to the taxpayer. Mean
while the people distant from th4
present county seats are put to great
Inconvenience and expense to attend
court and transact public business.
Since the proposed div sion will do
no one any harm and wi 4 accomplish
much good for the people Who want it
why not let them have what they
desire?"

IMPORTANT MINING
NEWS OF THE WEEK
$4,000 REAGAN LEASE CLEANUP
A TRINITY PEAK SHIPMENT
JESSUP PROPERTY SALES
AND DUN GLEN NEWS

The new mining camp of Chafey has
lately been undergoing an experience
in lot jumping that reminds one of the
palmy days of Dodge City, Kans., when
"Bat" Masterson was in his prime
and glory.
For some days prior to the climax,
it is reported, several men, led by q
party named Baldwin, talked about
the town that anybody had as much
right to the lots as the townsite peo-
pie, and that they proposed to help
themselves. They accordingly sent to
Winnemucca for tents, which arrived
in Chefey last Thursday, when the
jumpers showed their good judgmen.
of realty values by pitching them on
the choicest business lots on the street
Complaint was made to the newly
appointed local officers, but they
averred that they did not carry SET
of abstract books in their trousers
pockets, and were in consequence un-
able to quiet title.
Word was sent to z. s. Chafey, who
was absent in Winnemucca, advising
him of the situation. He is said to
have taken legal counsel, when he as
certained the old maxim that "posses
sion ic nine points of the law.' He
evidently then determined to avail
himself of the other one point, for he
at once chartered Nichols automobile
and rushed to the scene of hostilitics
as fast as gasoline could cover the
distance.
Mr.. Chafey arrived home at Q
o clock Friday morning, to find that
the miners and leading citizens had
taken the matter in hand. The crowd,
armed with Winchesters, procee ded to
the tent occupied by Baldwin and
ordered him to not only vacate the
premises, but to Immediately leave
town, on pain of summary treatment
Baldwin, with an assumed bravado,
attempted to harangue the crowd, but
was soon silenced by shouts of "Get
the rope!" "Shoot the jumper!"
and few shots fred in the air.

machines left the saloon with about
$50 in cash in their possession. The
burglary was discovered this mornin :
and reported to tho police, and the of

IMPROVEMENTS

Proprietor j. II. Bridges of the Big
Meadow is putting up some gool
strong arguments these days on the
need of this town, taking steps towards
standpoint, and from the standpoint Of
beautifying the town and making it Il
more desirable place of residence. Mr..
Bridges has invested heavily in Love
lock realty and is making expensive
and substantial improvement Of his
holdings. He has seen towns and cities
take upon themselves the task of i'm
provement, and he has seen those cities
develop accordingly. His argument,
therefore, of Lovelock need in this
line will receive more than ordinary
consideration.
"It is characteristic of Nevada, !"
said Mr.. Bridges, "that many of her
present-day residents are here to make
money, and then move to new fields
in which to settle down." This idea
is all wrong and would be done away
with in large part if our towns and
cities were made more desirable as a
place of residence Lovelock can be
made the prettiest little town west of
the Rock mountains if the t0wnspeopie
would get together and all pull toward
that end.
"What is to prevent us from get
ting some of that Humboldt river
water in town and planting trees all
up and down our streets? Trees set
out now would in five years from now
be fine large shade trees. A public
park could be gotten now while the
price of land is low and be made
beauty spot, that we and those who
come after us could enjoy.

Gentlemen:-Last October, as JUS
tice of the peace of Lake township,
Humboldt county, Nevada, had bill
for that month before the board of
county commissioners for criminal fees,
for $259.0O. The commissioner re-
duced the bill about one-half. Not
knowing, nor could l get any informa-
tion why this bill had been cut in
half, some four months ago I com
menced suit entitled, w. R. Fits vs.
Humboldt County, before Justice Rob
ms at Winnemucca. On tthe trial of
the matter the contentious of the dis
trict attorney to the item of fees was:
That had no fees for entering judg-
ment, and the law only allowed me 25
cents for issuing criminal complaint.
At the final determination of the suit
I got judgment for very near the
amount sued for. The commissioners
cut my bills on all judgments entered,
and allowing 25 cents for each affi-
davit issued allowing all the Other
Justices of Il comfy the full amour.
for these items, to-w.t: $50 for
judgment; $1.75 for complaint.
I would like to know why this un-
just discrimination, as none of the
other justices has had one cent cut
from their bills for months.
Respectfully,
W. R. Fits.

The subject of this sketch, and whose por-
trait is given. was the son of Ilerschel Foote,
Il pioneer settler of the Connecticut Western
Reserve in Ohio. At that early day-pre
vous to ls3C-there were but limited oppor
tunities in that new country for an ambitious
youth to obtain an education, and at the age
of sixteen Edward left home to strike out
and grappie with fortune His health had
always been considered too delicate to face
the world, bardships, but his resolution
was ndomitabe. lie entered a newspaper IA,
printers devil. working fifteen hours a day
at the drudeery. But with eyes and ears
open to every scrap of learning that fell in
his way, in short time his marked ability
as a writer and advisor became known, and
he was invited to become the editor of the
best weekly iourna! in Connecticut. At
twenty-five he removed to New York where
he became associate editor of a prominent
journal which greatly enlarged the sphere of
his studies and observations Physiological
studies always had charm for him. and as
soon as he found out what he was born for
he determined to enter the medical profession
in which many of his family had won en-
inence. Relying upon hard work in connoc
ton with journalism for subsistence he
found time to become student and assist
ant in the office of a noted botanical special
list. where ho ultimately became well fitted
for thorough course of study that he en-
tered Penn Medical University. graduating
with honor in 1860
He now devoted himself with intensity and
enthusiasm to the arduous work of practic-
ing physician About that period the SUI
premacy of the old School of Medicine was
being shaken by assaults from all quarters.
Utterly regardless of assumptions and
sertions however hOnorCd or imposing. his
native independence and clear headed judg
ment enabled him to mark out career for
himself which he has followed with -teadinoss
and success. BY appealing to the average in
teligence of the masses of readers he has
probably done more for their education in
the laws of physiology and hygiene than any
other man of his time His contributions To
American Medical and scientific literature if
collected would comprise -eres of volumes
as great as those of the Swedish Seer. His
printed works in bound volumes and pamph-
let' have been circulated throughout the
civilized world. They have specially com
mended themselves to popular readers for
their common sense presentation of sub
iect concerning which the bulk of mankind
have 80 long been ignorant.-IIs writings
