in developing the business of Audu-
bon county was Howard Jay Green,
who came here from Maquoketa, Iowa.
He was born at Berlin, n. Y, May 4,
1928; married at Chicopee, Mass, Nov.
%, 1850, Cordelia NJ, dau. of Nelson
and Theodocia (Holcomb) Reed, born
CRANKY, Ct, Jan. ID, 1881. He was a
machinist at Chicopee, 1868; farmer
at Maquoketa, 1886; afterwards
farmer and proprietor of saw mill in
Audubon county. He and Frank
Burnham came here for the express
purpose of erecting and operating a
steam saw mill, and made a contract
for the necessary machinery before
leaving Maquolleta, of which the fol-
lowing is copy:

The mill was completed and put in
operation in 1856. The huge boiler
was brought up the Des Moines river
to near Fort Des Moines on small
steamer, and from thence by OK
teams over the stage road via. Ham

through the Big Grove was specially
prepared for hauling the heavy load.
The other machinery was brought
from Pittsbug, Pa, down the Ohio
river and thence up the Mississippi to
Keokuk, and was brought here by
teams. Green and Burnham set uI
the mill themselves, and were prob
ably assisted by Chaplin, who continued

issues and another taxing legacies
gifts, etc.
The committee on public lands re-
ported favorably on Smaill's irriga-
ton bill, and the committee of the
whole voted to recommend for pas
sage couple of university approprf-
alton bills, carrying enough money
to burn a wet mule.
The senate bill establishing an
experimental farm in Churchill
county and the assembly bill to es-
tablish an experimental dry farm in
the northeastern portion of the coun-
ty both passed the senate.
There was introduced in the senate
joint resolution for the amendment
of the state constitution: section 8,
article IL, pertaining to school funds,
so that the same can be invested in
mortgages on unincumbered Nevada
real estate at not less than 6 per cent
annual interest
The tension on the anti-gambling
bill has reached the painful point.
Those favoring the measure are very
confident, seemingly, that it will pass
both houses. At this writing, 4:3O,
a caucus of assembly members has
Just adjourned, and it is claimed that
twenty-six present pledged them
selves to vote for the bill without
other amendment than that it go in
to effect January /, 1910, instead of
September 1, 1909, in accordance
with the majority report of the com
mittee on public morals.
Lem Allen, of Churchill, will lead
the fight for the bill, according to
the caucus agreement, which is
scheduled for tomorrow afternoon,
but that is merely the beginning of
the scrap.

clever FORGERS
RAISE MONEY ON
time CHECKS
NEAT SUM REALIZED BY GOLD.
FIELD CROOKS WHO PASS
WORTHLESS PAPER.

By the clever forgeries of time
checks used at the Consolidated
Mines company of Goldfield several
saloon keepers and the John S. Cook
and company bank of that city were
victimized out of sum estimated to
be in the neighborhood of $4,000.
The time checks were forged in such
a clever manner that they came near
escaping detection and it was only
owing to the vigilance on the part of
the bank officials that the false GER
tificates were discovered.
The discovery was made some time
ago and since then the authorities
have been on the hunt for the guilty
parties. The original checks were
printed by the Goldfield Review
publishing company, and owing to
the check kept on the stock in that
office it would have been impossible
to make duplicate checks there. Sew
efal persons of Goldf1eld were in Tom
opah last week ! investigating, and
from. here they went to Rawhide.
A portion of the type used in the
forged paper is in evidence in only
two printing plants in the southern
country.
4 A man named Love has been ar
rested in Goldfield on the charge and
1t is stated that search of his cabin
revealed a bunch of material used
In the making of coin and from this
evidence the authorities are confident
that they have one of the guilty men.
The bank officials say they will not
loose the money in cashing the
checks, but the business men who
cashed the forged papers will be the
ones who will have to make good to
the bank.

EXPERT
SENDS VIEWS ON
FARMING LIFE
A PIONEER TONOPAH MAN is
NOW ENGAGED IN GREAT
PRUNE INDUSTRY.

Down near Fresno, California, a
former Tonopah man is now engaged
in the prune industry. He recently
purchased an S0-acre tract of land
and when he left here made the
statement that hereafter it would be
the simple life for him. The sue

following letter received by this of

Have been here nearly month and
am now able to converse f1uently with
my Japanese laborers. OF course
you know the Japs are one of the
main attractions in this section. The
slot machine which | brought here
with me is great success. Every
week | pay the Jap boys off in quar-
tiers and inside of couple of hours
| have my money back. In fact, both
of them have drawn their wages a
month ahead. One wanted to. quit
his job last week, but as he failed to
have the necessary car fare to get
out of the country, he is still here
and from the indications will be here
for the next twenty years Tell Count
Tcgnini to ship me one of the nickel
machines as occasionally they have
some small change left which they
can't play in the quarter machine.

quently engaged in solo game. /
played worse than Dick Davis and
when the game had ended had lost

know little about the game or else

easiest manner. This makes the
twelfth race that Fulletta has won at
the Emeryville meeting this season.
Fulletta is public favorite and is
always well played any time she goes

the baby race, the favorite Napa Mic
