BALL GAME
NEXT SUNDAY

Gardnervills and Reno will play
a return game of ball on the local
diamond at 2 p. m. sharp Sunday,
July 4th. The Gardnerville team
has been strengthened greatly
since the last game between the
two teams and will give the Rem }
boys hard fight for the long end
of the score. Gardnerville has two
pitchers and two catchers and they
are all crack-a- jacks. Besides
having strong battery men the
local team is now composed of a
well balanced aggregation of play
ers and can always be depended
upon to give gsod account of
themselves.
The admission to the game will
be 80 cents for men and % cents
for women and children. This is
the last game to be played on the
diamond in the Ezell field.

PASSED TO THE
GREAT BEYOND

After months of patient suffer
ing N. II. johnson passed to the
great beyond last Friday at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM
Swail near Sheridan. The de.
ceased's death was due to cancer
OF the stomach. For the past few
years he had been in i'll health and
many physicians were consulted
without the slightest encourage
ment. The last few months of his
life were spent in deep and un-
told suffering.
Mr.;Johnson was born in Den.
mark, January 10Th, 1852 and
came to Carson Valley during the
70s. After remaining here a short
time he went to California return
ing to this Valley in 1888. He
run freight team between Carson
and Bodie for many years and
later purchased the DUNCAN ranch
at Sheridan.
He was elected by the voters Of
Douglas county to the Office Of
long term Commissioner and az
such officer requitted his duties
with credit to himself and salts
faction to. his constitutance.
He was not a man of family and
rs FIR as we know had no relatives
in this country.
The funeral services were held
Sunday afternoon from the Swail
residence and were largely attend
ed. Rev. Ball of the Methodist
church had charge of the services.
The interment took place in the
Mottsville cemetery.

OUR PUBLICITY
EDITION GROWING
Will be One OF the Finest llIuStrat.
ed Editions Ever Issued in
Nevada.

The success of the Publicity
Edition Of the Record Courier is
already assured. This is very
gratifying to the publishers for
several reasons. When this edition
was commenced nearly a month
ago it was doubtful if the support
necessary to an undertaking of
this kind could be secured, and it
was stated on several occasions
that it could not be made success.
But events have proved that the
people of Carson Valley are ready
and willing to spend the money
necessary to advertise our resources
and all they want is fair return
for their money.
The town of Gardnerville will be
well represented in this edition.
Nearly every business house or
business man will have representa-
ton in the book. Certainly Gard
nervills will be proud of the show
ing it will make in this illustrated
paper.
Other towns in the Valley will
be well represented, their inn
portance as business points will be
carefully given and every effort
will be made to treat all fairly and
give all the Importance they de-
serve.
But the most gratifying part of
the work is the interest the farm
ers are showing in this edition.
In almost ever instance where the
farmer has been approached he has
signified his willingness to stand in
by having his farm, farm house,
barns, etc. photographed for use
IN this paper.
1t will be a grand array of
pictures that will be presented of
these features. There are dozens
of fine farms in this Valley and no
better way can be taken to let the
outside wefld know what we have
than by this method. A history of
each farm will be run with the
pictures.
However it may not be possible
for us to reach every point in the
Valley that we would like, and in
order that none may be overlooked
We invite all to call and see what
is being done and arrange to be
part it. Our photographer is in
the Valley at this time and the
pictures should be taken at once.

Better THAN
GOLD MINES
Some OF the Farm Land in Carson
Valley PrOduse $4,000 to
the Acre Annually

"Why is land in Carson Valley
held at a higher valuation than
IN every other farming section OF
Nevada" is the question most every
visitor to this Valley puts squarly
to you when making enquiries a
bout ranch land. In Mason Val
ley and other well known farming
communities, cultivated land capa-
Bile OF producing good crops and
having favorable markets for all
produce, is sold Tor from sos to
$50 per acre, while here ranches
find ready sale for figures reaching
as high as $225.00 per acre.
The question Is very easily and
IN most cases, satisfactorily y answer
ed when being familiar with the
conditions as they exist in Carson
Valley. The rich soil, unexcelled
climate and bountiful water sup
ply is mot altogether responsible
for the high prices of farm land.
The ranches in Carson Valley are
producing greater crops, and they
demand higher prices than those
of any other section OF the state.
But the farmers are directly re-
sponsible. They spare no time or
money in preparing the soil for
planting and caring for them dur
Ing the time OF maturing. Modern
ICED ideas are employed extensive
ly and thus the production of the
soil is brought up TO the highest
degree of efficiency.
Just this week the writer was
informed by farmer that he had
disposed of his last years hay
crop for SIS per ton. To be sure
it was the finest Timothy and al
falfa hay that soil can produce but
in this fact alone is why he receiv-
ed the high price. Four tons of
this hay is raised to the acre and
at the second cutting two more
tons are harvested but is used on
the ranch. In one year $4,000
worth of produce WAS sold from

bearing ledge which runs parallel
with the Silver Lake lode having
been encountered. After making
careful calculations of the dip of
the Silver Lake ledge, they are
satisfied that the ledge is some
distance to the west of the lower
tunnel and during their sixty day
bond they are going to explore
this ground, and the engineer has
stated to members of the company
that the sale depends upon the sue
cess of catching the silver-lead ore
body on the fourth level and that
in his opinion it was certain to be
encountered.

TRIBUTES TO HIS GREATNESS.
Henry C1eVvs Calls Hartman eNdeteor
of Railroad World"

New York, Sept. 1O-From all
parts of the country there came a
flood of tributes upon Mr.. Harriman's
career and life work-from railroad
presidents, from bankers. and from
men prominent in all walks of life
and financial life. Friends, former
business associates. and even rivals of
the great railroad man spoke as a
unit of his tremendous power of
work. AS to the probable effect of
his death on the financial world. there
was variety of opinion but COM
ment was generally rather guarded.
One of the finest tributes to MT.
Hartman came from James J. Hill,
another giant among the railroad
builders and a one time business ad-
versary He said: .
"I have always regarded Mr.. Harri-
man very highly. I have done a
good deal of business with him in
the last few years and some of 1T, as
you know has been of a rather
work of several men during his life
time. He was one who never left
anything undone and there are few
men in this country whose place it
will be harder to fill.
There should not be anv serious
financial disturbance as the result of
his death. All Mr.. Harriman's prop
critics are in good shape. He was not
one who would leave his affairs so
situated that the wolves could prey
TENS which he has created will run
along as usual and his place will be
filed for all of US die and yet the
world wags on.
Mr. Hartman suffered intensely
during his illness. He was beyond
human aid. The people of the United
State sare not likely to forget the
great work he has accomplished for
them"
Meteor of Railroad World
Henry Clews, the Wall street
banker, spoke of Mr.. Hartman as "a
brilliant meteor OF the railroad
world.
He said: MIR. Harriman's success is
largely due to his forcefulness, his en-
ergy and bis farsightedness He was
bold. astute and energetic on his field
of battle. He was a genius of the con-
structige order. who lowered high
among the giants of Wall street. Moth
ing so well indicates the great oppor-
tcnity which still exists in America as

la quiet country clergyman

of Mr.. Harriman's death did not

ing improvement over yesterdays
close. Among French f1nanciers. Mr..
Harriman's immense power and
capacity was widely recognized. but
the general feeling is today that the
United States is SO rich in re-
sources and the productive capacity is
so great that the death of one man,
no matter how far reaching his in
terests, will not stop the onward
march of the country's prosperity.

Men to Take Harriman's Place Prob
