George C. Englert

kilograms from San Francisco Sun
day brought the news of the death of
Mr.. George G. Englert, one of Elko's
most highly esteemed citizens. y Mr..
Englert had been in poor health for
some time and several weeks ago he
went to San Francisco for medical
treatment. j.
He suffered from lancer of the blad-
der and an operation was performed on
him about six weeks ago. While this
operation was successfully perfor med
by the surgeons, it failed to relieve him
and he underwent another operation
about two weeks ago. In this operation,
the surgeons removed his bladder and
substituted tubes. Mr.. Englert rallied
from this operation and seemed to i'm
prove, but gradually began to fail and
at $3.50 Sunday morning passed peace
fully to the other shore
George G. Englert was born in Ger
many over sixty years ago. Informa-
ton as to his place of birth and his
coming to this country we are unable to
get today. For many years, he was a
citizen of Eureka, in this state, where
he carried on the wagon making bust
ness. In 1895, he came to Elko and
formed partnership with E, G. Jones,
who died several years ago. In 1897, A.
w. Hesson entered the firm and the
business was conducted under the name
of A. w. Hesson & Co.
: George G. Englert was man who
believed in the right and who did the
right as God had given him the light to
see it. He was quiet man, but one
who did his duty as citizen. Elko
county has lost many good citizens in
the years gone by, but she never lost a
better ope than George G Englert. His
death is a loss to the county and to the
state. ,'''3.'' 81 90 go. '1'..:.' q

The remains will be brought to Elko

late this afternoon states that the
remains will leave San Francisco Tues
day on No. 6, and the funeral will be

were not given in the telegram. ''

Sthe funeral as a tribute of respect to
his memory. 49,. :

Miller is preparing neat program
for Lincoln Day to assist the schools

ly observe the one hundredth anniver-
sary of the immortal statesman ano
liberator. which occurs on February
u. 1t is a noticeable coincidence
that the same date Is also the hun
dredth anniversary of the birth OF
Mr.. Darwin, the father OF modern
thought and investigation in scientific
research. Pref. Miller in his Lincoln
Day program calls attention to this
and also to the fact that this year Is
also the one hundredth anniversary OF
the birth OF many other distinguished
men of modern times, such as Glad
stone, Holmes, Poe, Chopin and
Mendelshon.
1t has been suggested that the leg
islature take some action In celebrat-
ing the Lincoln birthday as It did
four years ago.

STATES LARGEST ORCHARD
Located Along Celebrated South
Bend Valley Has $4,000

The Hampshire Orchard company
owns the largest orchard in the state
Of West Virginia. 1t owns thirteen
hundred acres of the best fruit land
in the state, the soil being the fam
Gus sschert" formation, noted for its
fertility. The orchard is the largest
in West Virginia, having thirty-eight
thousand peach. and Ave thousand APP
pie trees. Some will come into bear
ing this year, aud the larger proper
ton next year. Few realize what an
important industry fruit growing is
rapidly becoming in the eastern sec
ton of the state. From the South
Branch valley alone over million
dollars worth of peaches were shipped
last year and the business is yet in
its infancy A solid fruit express
train is run out of Romney every
evening, delivering the fruit gathered
"a hours earlier, on the New York
market stalls by breakfast time. A
large proportion of the crop is ex-
ported by the fast Transatlantic
Ocean Greyhounds to London and
Paris. 1T is significant that the West
Virginia fruit is rapidly displacing the
famous English hot house peach in
the world famous Coven Garden mar
ket.
A peculiar branch of the South
Branch valley section is that, owing
to its elevation, the fruit ripens in
time to catch bare market after the
glut of the Georgia and other crops
is passed. 1t is also immune from
the danger of the late frosts.
Some idea of the size of the Ramp
shire Orchard company's property
may be derived from the fact that the
company is now preparing to build a
narrow gauge railroad extending for
seven or eight miles over the orchard,
and is installing complete system
of wnterworks.
