REGISTRATION GROWS FAST
1,I67 Names Added to Rolls Is
the Largest Day Yet

There were 1,1ef names added to the
register of voters yesterday. This is
the largest number for one day since
the registration began. The total reg
istration up to date reaches the very
surprising figure of 1850.
II any proof were needed that the
citizens Of this city are fully aroused
TO TIE Importance of taking part III the
primary election May IT is supplied
by these figures. The clerks in the of
fee Of the registrar of voters are work
ing under forced draft to keep up with
the demands that are being made upon
them.
The very heavy registration for yes
terday surpasses by 465 the figure for
the busiest preceding day, which was
last Friday, when 702 names were add
ed to the rolls. The office Of the regis
trar was open in the evening yesterday
from 1880 to $50, and between those
hours 200 af1davits were made
The laborious efforts of the Independ-
ence league to bring out registration
are still bearing conspicuous fruit. On
Saturday thes total registration was
much smaller than usual, owing to the
closing of the office IN the afternoon,
but out of 296 voters who registered in
the forenoon a total of exactly four
affiliated themselves with the Hearst
political party. Owing to the delicate
microscopic operation necessary to To-
cate the league registration fully "a
hours must elapse before the figures for
Monday are announced.
Registrar of Voters Harry Zemansky
began yesterday to swear In election
officers. There is no dearth of applf-
cants for positions, and 400 OF the $50
who win be needed for the primary
election were given the oath yesterday.
During this week the registration Of

MASON VALLEY SHOULD
Be THE SOURCE
OF SUPPLY

That the farmers of this district are
preparing to increase the production OF
this valley this year can readily be seen
bv visit to a few of the ranches about
Yerington. All winter long the farmers
have been engaged in clearing new land,
preparatory to blowing and getting 1t IN
shape for the spring planting. AT pres
ent about all of the land has been plowed,
and the days of sowing the seeds have
come. "As he soweth so shall he reap
eth.'' That being the case the farmers
of Mason valley will, this year, reap
larger harvest than has been the custom
heretofore. Every branch of the agr1-
cultural industry in this valley has been
somewhat stimulated this year; new seed
grain has been imported for several OF
the farmers; ground which has hereto
fore been in the same crop year IN and
wear out will this season be put into
seeds of different nature with view OF
strengthening the soil. 1t is also under
stood that considerable modern farming
machinery is on the road, and that the
farming industry is to assume new life
in this district.
Why should the agricultural industry
of this section remain in the same rut ?
This winter and for several winters past
vegetables and eggs have been shipped
into the valley for home consumption.
Onions, carrots, parsnips, ETC., have
been shipped into Yerington for three to
five cents pound all season, as the val
ley's production was exhausted as fast as
it was harvested. Even flour has been
shipped into Yerington in carload lots III
order to meet the home consumption, as
the local production could not meet the
demand. Why should these conditions
exist in a country where the soil Is SC
III that every crop of the temperate
zone can be raised? Partially this yeai
have the farmers come to the realization
of the consumption of this district, ano
they are acting accor lingly. few

portunity would probably awaken them
to the fact of what this district holds in
store for them, and steps would be taken
to keep at home the wealth which is being
sent out of here each year for produce
Every wear the farmer of this section
will see his golden opportunity being
seized BY outsiders until he himself
makes every foot of his land produce its
utmost
The mining district surrounding Ma
son valley is large, and the needs OF the
people is great and will become greater
as the mines are more thoroughly opened
M. and the farmers of this valley could
lust as well meet the demands OF the
miners for produce as the farmers OF
California can ship their produce in here.
To say that Just as good product can
be raised here as anywhere under the
sun is putting the assertion mild. For
an example we will enumerate few OF
the things produced in Mason valley
that received attention at the World S
Fair of a few years ago. sample OF
honey from Harry Warren's apiary took
first prize at the fair at St. Louis IN
1904, while potatoes from this district
outcassed any placed on exhibition
These are a few of the products OF this
valley which received prizes at the ex-
position, and which this valley is noted
for, and it is fact that Mason valley has
taken several prizes for products placed
on exhibition at the several State fairs
held in Nevada. 1t is an established
certainty that if the produce were raised
in quantities that Mason valley could be
the source of supply for all the mining
towns in this section of the State. SO,
Mr.. Farmer, do not be afraid because
YOU are putting few more acres OF land
under cultivation this year that you are
going to flood the market with produce
This year the demand for your crops
will be greater, and if you are bound to
lament you will have cause to lament
over the fact that YOU did not have
enough produce to sell.

Not long ago in probate court the
son of deceased farmer on the fl
nal day for hearing of claims filed a
bill for work done for his father.
Judge Evans remarked that the bill
was rather large and although no
one appeared he should adjourn the
hearing and have the other children
represented before he allowed it. A
day was set and the others came in.
some of whom were married and
had left home. One after another
stated to the judge that they
thought the bill was just; that their
brother had worked hard to build up
the property and they knew it had
been his fathers intention to allow
him for it and requested that the
bill be allowed as presented. And
although the father had died before
he had carried out his plan they
wished his intention carried out and
had approved the bill before it was
presented and wished it passed with
out question. Such families do not
appear in police courts and are not
often seen in any other. The family
which gave this example of unselfish
loyalty to each other and to the
wishes of their father is the Nielsen
family near Morgan.
