A Very Painful Accident

Lloyd, the year old son of Mr.. and
Mrs. w. D. Clark, received a most
painful burn last Saturday morning
when he was out playing. They had
been washing and had just threw a
bunch of clothes in boiler of hot
water and along came the little fellow
and in some manner fell into it. The
left side of the child was scalded to the
second degree and after an examina-
tion it was found that about one-thirc
of his body was burned.
DR.. Gardner was called and gave the
required medical attention. We re-
ceived the report Wednesday noon that
the child was resting fairly well but
considering the seriousness of the burr
he received it will be a very hare
struggle for him to recover from it.
We join with the entire community in
extending sympathy to the poor chile
who was so unfortunate as to be burned
in this manner, and also to the entire
family.

LegisIatute Convened Monday.

The Nevada State Legislature op-
ened its regular session Monday morn
ing and it is expected that this will be
one of the most important sessions in
the history of the state. On Sunday
evening a caucus of the Democrats was
held for the purpose of electing a
Speaker of the Assembly and a Presi-
dent of the Senate. In the fight for
speakership Hon. Lem Allen of this
county and ]. B. Giffin of Nye County
were voted on and as a result, Allen
received 10 and Giffen %. This selec-
tion as speaker was disappointment
to many over the state as Mr.. Allen
was better qualified to fill the position
than the one selected Probably just
because the present affairs of the state
are conducted chiefly by the younger
class of men was the reason that Mr..
Allen was turned down.
Governor Dickerson called the Senate
to order and Secretary of the State
Douglass opened the Assembly. George
D. Pyne of Esmeralda of Esmeralds
County was selected as President
Protein of the Senate over Senator
Mack of Douglass. The Governor
message was read on Tuesday and by
this time the law makers are settled
down to work.
Churchill County is represented by
R. L. Douglass in the Senate and by
Lemuel Allen and j. w. Ferguson il
the Assembly. Miss Margaret Day

NewIands TO Attend Legislature

Senator Newlands is expected to be
in Carson during the opening days of
the Legislative session, says the APP
peal. He probably will arrive four or
five days after the session opens, as it
is impossible for him to get away be-
fore that time.
The Governor and other state officials
are anxious for his presence as several
important matters are to be talked over
and they want the benefit of his ex-
perience and counsel. Also there are a
few of the legislators who feel that he
should be here until after the ballot for
United States Senator is over. New
lands received the highest vote ever
given for U. S. Senator and it is now
up to the Legislature to take formal
ballot for him.

Joint Installation Last Week Was
A Success in Every
Manner

After the regular lodge of Odd Eel
laws on Wednesday night of last week
a joint installation of the Rebekahs and
Odd Fellows was held which was very
interesting and impressive to all those
present.
The Rebekahs installed their respec-
tive officers first and they showed their
ability of entertaining visitors at a
public installation. They were perfect
in their work and deserve considerable
creeit for its execution. The Odd Fell
lows also performed their installation
work in ereditable manner, After
the installation all went to Popenos'
parlors where a fine supper had been
prepared by the Odd Fellows. A fea-
tuIe of this was that everything fur
nished was made by men. George
Clemmens of the Blain bakery did most
of the preparing of the lunch and much
credit is due him for the way he pre-
pared and served the supper.

Hurt in a Runaway

f. p. Osgood was out in the Fairview
district last week surveying some min
ing claims for an eastern company and
one afternoon with his team he went
up the hill to get some wood and in
turning around his wagon turned turtle
and Mr.. osgood was underneath The
horses became frightened and started
to run, the wagon tongue in some man
ner was broken loose after Mr.. 0sgood
was dragged about $50 feet This
probably saved his life. He was con-
siderably bruised up about the head and
body which results ip his walking
around with cane. This was n very
narrow escape for him as the road was
very steep and rough and the breaking
of the wagon tongue was probably all
that saved him from death.

Good Word for Commercial Club.

S. Boliver Crane, of Reno, was Il
Fallon last week on business connected
with the New York Life Insuranc,
Company, for which he Is the agent foi
Nevada. While here he was invitet
to the Commercial Club rooms to spens
the evening and was greatly surprised
at the hospitality shown him during
his visit.
In conversation with Mr.. Crane, h
said that the Fallon Commercial Clul
was far in advance of the Reno Com
mercial Cuba dirty duce in a new
deck of cards" was the best compar;'
son he could give. That is saying
good deal for thia club and as Mr.
Crane Is member and Office holder o
the Reno Club, he is In a position Il
know what he Is talking about. H
stated that the club rooms here wetl
not as well furnished as the ones il
Reno and did not have the services O.
a couple Of colored porters, who wer
always occupying the privileges of tn
club, but what we exeelled in was I'll
genuine pleasure afforded member @
visitor when he wished to spend a
hour or so in the day or evening in
sociable way. Mr.. Crane said ths
this was one of the best things ths
could be established here and this
the good work of the club hs
been branching out and covering
great deal of ground.
We are of the same opinion of tt
good this club is doing the communit
and probably in our business we ca
see the good done more than any or
else. We congratulate the presei
management on the way they are col
Quoting the affairs of the club, espeI
tally the publicity and immigratid
committees work. Keep the goo
work up, and have all the prominei
men of the state and country, who's
business brings them here occasionally
passing the same compliment on I'll
clubs work, just as Mr.. Crane did.

BOARD OF ASSESSORS MET
In Carson City Last Week and
Have Fixed the Rate
of Taxation.

Charley Wightman, County Assessor
returned last week from Carson City
where he had been attending the
State Board of Assessors, which meets
once year for the purpose of fixing
the rate of taxation for railroads, cat
tie, sheep, and other property.
The governor, Attorney General, and
State Controller were before this
board of county assessors and showed
with statistics that the State needed
more money to conduct the business in
the future than in the past They
made the argument that the Southern
Pacific Company was paying taxes on
about 1215f of their property, which
amounts to $l7, 500 and asked the as
SCISSORS to tax them at $50. 600 and the
sidetracks at $4,000. After consider
able discussion the board took a vote on
a taxation Of $40, 600 which resulted in
a tie, another vote on $1s, 500 was TAX
en- and it carried, a raise of 81 900 over
last year Mr.. Wightman voted a
gainst the higher rate of taxation but
cast his vote for SIS, 500, thinking that
this was sufficient raise over last
year. 1t Is the general opinion Of the
people of the state, especially the
press, that Weathers Of Elko. Bradley
of Esmeralds, McTierney of Eureka,
Leonard Of Humboldt, Lemai.e of Lam
der, Roeder of Lincoln, Owens Of Nye,
Myles of White Pine, and Wghtman
o. Churchill all erred when they did not
support the governor in raising the
taxation Of the Espee.
Other valuations fixed by the board
of assessors were as follows;

Hazen to Nina, SIS, 600, sidetracks

SUIT HAS BEEN INSTITUTED
For the Betterment of the
Truckee--Carson Irri-
CATION Project.

The Attorney-General of the United
States upon request of the Secretary Of
the Interior has just authorized the
United States Attorney in San Francis
co to bring suit against the Truckee
River General Electric Company and
the California Nevada Electric Power
Company, and other parties interested,
to acquire possession of a certain tract
of land at the outlet of Lake Tahoe,
which is found to be necessary in con-
nection with the Truckee-Carson pro-
ject in Nevada, of the United States
Reclamation Service.
Lake Tahoe is an interstate body of
water, much valued for its scenic
beauty which will not be impaired by
its use in connection with irrigation as
proposed by the United States. The
storage of water in this lake is an es-
sential feature of the Truckee-Carson
project which has been constructed
under the provisions of the Reclama-
ton Act, and involves the Irrigation
of an area of 100, 900 acres or more.
For many years there has been a
dam on the Truckee River at the point
where it leaves the lake. In recent
years this dam has been used to store
water for certain power plants along
the Truekee river in California and
Nevada. The management Of this dam
has been very unsatisfactory to the
people owning valuable property around
the Lake and on several occasions they
have suffered considerable damage be-
cause the aow. Of water out of the lake
was not properly regulated.
There has been a general feeling
among the owners Of land along the
lake shore that the aequision OF this
tract by the United States will insure
them moro careful regulation O. the
lake and prevent the recurrence OF un-
necessary high water as in some years
during the past.
The United States has for the past
six years been patiently negotiating
with the parties who own or control
the tract at the outlet of the lake and
has considered many plans 70 provide
for the use of the lake to store water
for the Truckee-Carson project and at
the same time avoid Interference with
the vested rights along the river.
The parties who now seem to control
the outlet, Messrs. w. P. Harmon
and F. G. Baum Of San Francisco. are
planning large and interesting enter
prise for power development in the
Sierra Nevadas. The government has
found il impossible to reach an agree
ment with the parties interested and in
justice to the large number of settlers
on the project who must depend on
this water supply it did not seem prop
er to continue futile negotiations that
have served only to delay a proper as
surance of water supply to the people
of the project.
1t is understood that the Government
will push this suit as much as possible
in order that the further expansion of
the Truckee-Carson project may not
be undnly delayed.

GOOD At THOSE TRICKS
One of Jim Richards Former
Jokes Brought to Light
Again

The following article was taken from
the Reno Gazette last week in regards
to our Jim" Richards and relates to
an incident that happened in the early
days of Churchill county when the coun-
ty seat was at Saltwater. This is only
che of the many jokes he used to play
on the boys among whom were Judge
w. H. A. Pike, w. C. Grimes, Lem
Allen, Joe Cushman, Dave Wightman,
VIM Dalton aud others:
| A few days ago a number of old
| timers, among them old-timers of Chur-
chill county, were sitting in the corri-
dor Of the Overland hotel discussing
the good old times when Lem Allen,
Jim Richards and other pioneers of
Churchill county were young. All told
story and all of them were good but
the one related of Jim Richards, now
of Fallon was probably thd best.
''You see," said one old timer scratch
ing his head and then pulling his beard
as if in deep thought, it was the day
following the election of 1892 when
Cleveland defeated Harrison. Jim
Richards was operator at Saltwater and
we were all anxious to receive the re-
turns Of the election. Jim had one of
those old tape instruments, that the
Western Unien company used to have
for its ameteur operators. The messa-
ges were all marked off on tape,
which was reeled off by the yard.
well, Jim had been in his Office a
part of the night before receiving the
returns and en- this morning had gone
/ to the saloon to discuss the election
with the other boys. He argued and
argued why Cleveland should have been
elected. He forgot all about the in.
stremens sreeling off the tape down
there in the Office and continued to argue
although everyone was anxious to hear
the news. At last Jim was persuaded
to go and find out what the latest re-
ports showed. Jim ran to his office but
/ in the meantime whirlwind had swept
into the office and carried the tape out
+ into the street until it was stretched
out like a long snake for nearly mile.
Jim, with his beard floating in the
/ breeze; yes he had whiskers then, hot
footed it for the end of the tape and
grabbing up the end of the paper began
to read He read and read and the
crowd became more and more impatient
as Jim read. At last the boys demand
ed that he read faster, but Jim had be.
come interested in story of murder
trial and continued to read. He tore
off the tape as he read and all of Ut
picked it up and scanned it eagerly as
he tore it off, but without success, nons
of US knew what those little dots and
dashes meant. Jim held all the news.
At last he reached the end of the tape
and as he tore off the last stri ip, he
raised up and said, Yes, CLEVELAND
won. Just as he gave US the news /;
man dashed up on a sweating horse anc
yelled, 'Hurrah for Cleveland. He hac
travelled just IL miles from the tele
graph station at Grimes ranch since
Jim had read the first news of Cleve
lands success. Jim had to treat to save
himself from being mobbed.
