WHAT WILL TIE VERDICT BE?

, Tomorrow the anti-gambling bill will
come up in the assembly. If the mem
bers of that body are satisfied with pre-
sent conditions and believe that licensed
gambling should be maintained in the
state, they will Of course vote against
Nthe bill. But if they believe that gamb-
ling corruLtI the young, blights Ncvala's
fair fame. makes suicides. and criminals,
destroys the home and brings poverty
and restitution to women and children,
they will register their votes for the hill
Upon the vote cast in the assembly
tomorrow depends the future standing
Of Nevada among her sisters. She is
the only one now whose fame is blight
cd by this curse. Shall she still lag
behind in the procession or shall she put
on the robe of civic righteousness and
march by The side Of her more favored
sisters?
Upon the vote tomorrow also depends
the future political life of more than
one budding statemans anxious to
wear out his life in the service of the
people. For inst as sure rs the night
follows the day, licensed gambling is
doomed i'm this state, and he who stands
in the way of this great reform must
answer to the people of the state for his
course.
Again we say if the members Of the
present Legislature are wise they will
pass the Mcintosh law before the session
ends. If they do not the question is sure
to be an Issue in the next campaign and
the battle will not be fought on political
lines. A large and influential element
Ill this state are determined that
licensed gambling shall cease in Ne
vada and their votes will be cast for
men who have the honesty and courage
to wipe it out, The names republican
and democrat will cut no ice with them
if the candidates. record is not straight

They Grow Tall In Montana

a singular rivalry has arisen between
two Montana towns rs to which pos
sessee the tallest family. Libby, in Flat
head county, processes to have more tall
people than any town of its size on the
continent. -
Ten members of one family have a
combined height of almost sixty feet.
The father weighs 215 pounds and is six
feet 81 inches tall. The mother weighs
2e5 pounds and is five feet six inches
tall. The children. size up; as follows:
First son, six feet 81 inches tall age 81
years; second son. six feet four inches
age 10 years; first daughter, Ave fleet
eight inches tall, age II; third son, six
feet four inches, age 18 years. fonfth
SON, five feet ten inches, age ID years;
fifth sou, five feet, a ge II years; second
.tlitughter, four feet two inches, age nine
years: sixth son, three feet ten inches;
age four years. The head of this Proud
family is Herman Bockman. !; -
Red Lodge takes exception to Libby's
claim to the supremacy and calls at
tentiOn to the fact that in that city four
members of one family are taller than
any four members of the Bockman
family. w. A. Talmage and his three
sons are probably the tallest of any
quartet i'll the city. Mr.. Talmage, is
six feet Al inches tall; Earl Tallnage,
age Is years, is six feet eight inches tall;
Elmer Talmage, age 10 years, is six feet
Il inches tall, and Nathan, the youngest,
who is only ~ years of age, measures
five feet six inches. This makes total
of "a feet 81 inches. Then the aveyage
height of the father and three sons will
unquastionably compare with that of
any other family in the entire country.

PREPARING SOIL FOR a GARDEN.
The question Is often asked by per-
sons preparing the ground for the
first time around a new home. " !at
must be done to put 1t in proper u
dition to grow grass. flowers, trees
shrubs or vegetables?
Conditions which usually exist
around city homes are not very favor
able for either flower or vegetable
garden. or even for a lawn. FIRE.
quently the soil is mostly clay in
which case it is necessary to secure
small amount of black loan. spread
1t over the surface and mix slightly
with the clay. The more loan used.
the better immediate results. Grass
and many of the shallow rooted plants
will grow well in soil that is largely
good start in the loan.
To enrich the mixture of loan and
clay some fertilizer should be added.
Many kinds can be used. One Of the
most practical is bone meal. 5 to 10
pounds per square rod In using this.
mix it with soil. two parts of soil to
one of bone meal and let stand for
two or three days. then spread over
the ground. Wood ashes, guano and
sheep manure are all good fertilizers
for tho lawn
If the ground is naturally wet and
q little sour an application of air
Slakcd limo is good to spread on at tho
rate Of 1880 pounds per square rod.
This should be done a few days before
the ground is TO be planted. In the
planting of trees and shrubs on newly
made ground it is best to dig much
larger holes than are necessary for
the spread of the roots and use only
black soil around the roots. This
gives the plants a chance to get a good
start in the best soil.
