CONTRACT FOR BURYING
INDECENT LET,

Williams & holland, the local under
takers, were awarded the contract Mon
day of burying the county's INDECENT
dead for the ensuing year. The con-
tract price, as stipulated by the parties
concerned, was f2s for each pauper
buried. The service agreed to be per-
formed for this price was the furnishing
OF an ordinary coffin, burying shroud,
digging of grave and interment, the fur
nishing and setting of head and foot
boards, marking the grave, upon which
shall be recorded the deceased party's
name, age and date OF death.
In the county clerks office complete
record Of the circumstances attending
the death OF all county INDECENT will in
the future be kept, it having been found
in times past impossible to get this SER
vice from the coroner, and good deal
of confusion has arisen from this condi-
ton.

ATTENDING CONSULTING
ENGINEERS CONFERENCE

II. w. Marean left last week for
Yuma, where he is now attending a
conference OF the consulting engineers
of the reclamation department. While
Mr.. Marean made his trip ostensibly as
a delegate OF the Truckee- Carson Farm
ers' association, his real purpose in
being present at this important con-
ference, is the laying before the engi-
neers the matter of the early constuc-
ton of the lower Carson dam. In the
opinion Of the agrlculturists OF this pro-
iect, the failure TO construct this dam,
was the most serious mistake made in
the construction program to date, and
while no inconvenience has ever result.
ed SO far from this apparent neglect, a
year Of drouth might bring home with
fearful force the necessity OF the storage
dam.
Another request that will be placed
by Mr.. Marean before the conference is
that Of allowing homesteaders within
government projects who desire to do
So, to pay their water payments either
upon constructive or operation work, by

LATEST NEWS OF
INTEREST FROM RiWHIDE

Burton d. Blakeslee, one of Rawhide's
rustling mining men, spent Monday and
Tuesday in Fallon. Mr.. Blakeslee is a
thorough minerologist and formerly ac-
cupied the position of city engineer of
the city Of Nome, Alaska.
According to Mr. Blakeslee, Rawhide
will soon have local stock exchange.
He gave it to this paper that never in
his experience as mining engineer had
he seen such surface showings, and that
mining engineers who had visited Raw
hide were uniformly in favor of the
camps indications and that nothing but
praise ever came from an observer OF
Rawhide conditions.
New strikes are said to be so common
nowadays that news of one no longer
affects the 2500 souls who call the camp
home. As depth is being acquired
greater ore bodies are being exposed
and permanent signs increase daily, and
the actual coin changes hands daily for
property sales, which are usually made
upon the advice of competent mining
engineers.
1t is generally conceded that Fallon is
the logical freight point for Rawhide,
and no other point can dispute its claim
for supremacy. nor compete with it at
all for that matter, according to Mr..
Blakeslee.
A copy of the first issue OF the Fair
view News reached the Churchill Stan
dard last week. c. G. Emerson, the
pioneer mining camp .exploiter, is the
editor and publisher, and the paper GER
talnly bears evidence OF Mr.. Emerson's
rustling propensities. 1t is an eight
page, six column journal, neatly printed
on book paper, replete with handsome
half.tonee setting forth pictorially the
camps resources. Emerson certainly
is in the lead of Rawhide journalism,
and the Standard wishes him unbounded
success. He has set mark that will
make competitors jump some to reach.

SUGAR BEETS
DO ESPECIALLY WELL IN THIS
VALLEY.
Tests For Sacharine Matter Show An Unusu-

ment 10 Further Experiments.

Washington, ID. c., Jan. %, 1908
Mr.. c. S. Scofeld, Western Agricultural
Extension.
Dear Mr.. Scofeld referring to on
cooperative work at Fallon, Nevada, in
connection with sugar beets, l will say
that have just gone over the reports
OF the analyses furnished by the Bureau
Of Chemistry and am impressed with
the remarkably good showing that was
made last season at that point. | find
that the sugar content runs from 1877 to
24.6 per cent in the juice, and that the
purity yaries from s0.26 to 90 g. The
sugar in the juice is approximately one
per cent higher than the sugar in the
beets, the latter being the basis upon
for sugar-making purposes. This still
leaves the percentage remarkably high
with all Of these varieties, The weight
OF the beets is somewhat low, averaging
for the eighteen varieties about one
pound, or trife less. This point can
undoubtedly be very much improved
with experi' nee and improved conditions,
l think it extremely desirable.that we
continue these experiments at that
point next season, and will say in this
connection that arrangements have been
made to procure the same varieties with
two or three additional ones. II agree
able to you, a sufficient quantity of seed
OF each variety for testing this season
will be sent to Fallon in ample time ior

EMERSON Is AGAIN
IN THE AIR.

q. Emerson, editor of the Fairview
News and the Rawhide News, is even
at this date, advocating the plueking Of
a slice OF Churchill County's territory
which, in his opinion, should be joined
with slice to be cut from Esmeralda
county, in the creation OF new county
to embrace the districts of Rawhide,
Fairyiew and Wonder. Emerson, like
a certain Babylonian king, has dreams
that come in fantastic form, and are
gone forever. To say that the territory
is ripe for a new county, is just about
as reasonable as to assert that the Fill
pinos are ready for self-goyernment.
No one but an extremist or dreamer
would ever suggest such departure.
Rawhide, Fairyiew and Wonder could
never convince sane legislature OF
their ability to form a county and meet
the requirements that are imposed up
on county governments. Let US have
no more such rot. Entertain your
readers, Brother Emerson with desser-
tations upon the mossbackism and
slothfulness of the alfalfa tossers;
raise cain with the county officials for
failing TO measure up to your standard,
odd though it may be; in short, give us
the very devil, but il you want to keep
out OF the states bughouse, don't men
tion again, the matter of plucking green
territory hundred years before it is
due TO ripen. Someone will feel OF your
head II you do. And anyway this sub
jeet is not germsne to that Of mines and
mining.

TRAVEL HAS DOUBLED
IN THE PAST TEN DAYS

Inquiry at the hotels and rooming
houses OF the town discloses the fact
that business has more than doubled
during the past ten days or two weeks.
Most OF the travel is bound Rawhide
way, but the Wonder and Fairyiew dis
tricts are commencing to take on re-
newed life and within short time
hence they will also be active mining
centers again. Most OF the hotel and
rooming house keepers complain Bit
terly Of the manner of carrying passen-
gers direct from the train to Rawhide,
without even stopping for meals, which
we are informed is in the majority of
instances contrary to the wishes OF the
traveller
Recently subscription list was cir
culated among the business men of Fall
Ion for the purpose of raising money to
advertise the feasibility of the Fallon-
Rawhide route, but if we are to get
much benefit from this advertising, we
will have to arrange with the auto COM
panies to stop long enough after trains
to allow ingoing passengers to tarry long
enough in Fallon to outfit.
