ALAMO RANCH
IN NEW HANDS

Alamo, once known all over NeVa-
ia as The nome OF the cate Governor
John Sparks, the seat OF a princely
hospitality that reflected the warmt h
oI it's owners heart and the site OF
as fine an extent of broad acres as
ever man would wish to see, has been
sold, according to a report given out
yesterday, to Mrs. G. II. Thoma OF Re
no, for $4,000.
Tne sale, without consideration OF
the sentimental interest attaching to
the place, is one 0 tthe most impor-
tant realty transactions recorded OF
late years in Washoe county.
Alamo was Ior years one of the
noted stock farms OF America for il
was here that Governor Sparks had
his magnificent herd of Hereford cat
tie that excited the admiration of
stock breeders from coast to coast. 1t
was modern in every particular, a
model stock farm, and the ranch house
was considered one OF the finest in
the west.
The estate after the governors
death came into the hands of the
Farmers and Merchants National
bank and the Peninsula company, an
eastern corporation, and later was
sold to Joe Miller of Austin. Last
week Mr. Miller cOnSummated the
deal placing the property in the hands
Of Mrs. TnOma. 1t is said that 32)
acres will probably be divided into
smaller tracts and sold pecemeal.
The history OF the passing of the
Alamo is one that eXempifies the
modern progress of the age and there
are many in the state of Nevada who
will watch the transformation of the
estate with something akin to regret.

ILLUSTRATED LECTURE
Draws Good Crowd to K. Of p. Hall
on Saturday Evening.

One Of the truly good things in an edu-
cational way in the late Farmers Short
Course was the lecture on the beet in
dustry given by W. X. Winterhaltsr, 90
good that It had to bs repeated last
Saturday night at X. Of p. hall for the
benefit Of those who did not hear It the
first time and those who wanted to hear
It again.
Tho interest in the subjset matter Of
the lecture is greatly enhanced by the
series Of stsreoptieon pictures given with
It. The lecture covers much ground and
gives the listener broad view Of the
whole subject, such as could hardly be
got in the same time in any other way.
1t Is historical. and takes the auditor back
to the very inception Of sugar making
from bssts. On the screen Is shown pic
lures Of the sugar beet in its original in
consequence and then It's grsdual dsvsl-
opment into root containing Is. l6. IL
and sven 23 per cent Of sugar. This in
itself is an object lesson In science. Then
it gives pictures and description Of dis
eases affecting bssts. It gives the early
and the later mechanism for abstraetina
the lsugar. It shows European hslt
methods and factories and compares
them with the finest factories in this land
It shows the husbandry and the people
who are employed in beet produetian IL
the old world. It shows systems Of irri-
CATION. world old and modern. which !.
not the least interesting feature to Ark
ansas Valley audiences. The series oi
pictures are mainly those taken by Mr.
Winterhalter during his recent European
tour Of inspection. and they indicate a
wide scope Of travel and enquiry. They
are beautifully eolored slides. and under
good light bring out the subject finely
To all this Mr.. Winterhalter adds a
taste OF Greek and Roman city life anc
art and architecture. making the enter.
tainment a very broad and useful and
helpful one.
