At few minutes after 5 O'Clock i'll
the morning the citizens were awakened
by the singing and bugle calls of forty
two Fallonites. who were driven to Yer
ngtou in twelve carriages. Until 10
o'clock teams kept arriving from the
surrounding camps, also from all over
Mason and Smith Valleys.
At 10 O'Clock the different representa-
tives of labor organizations fell in line
with the Eagles. Knights of Pythias and
Odd Fellows in the largest parade Yer
ngton has ever had. 1t was led by the
Eagles, which consisted of figures SYM
bolic of various labor unions, drawn by
Mr.. Van Alstine dressed to represent a
huge American eagle. The Yerington
band occupied position near the front
of the parade, and in several places the
lineup was punctuated with amusing
floats. Numerous young girls waved
flags and bunting from the second story
windows, and as it passed along Main
street crowds of men who gathered on
the roof tops kept up constant cheer.
Immediately after the parade the FIRE
department tested their new fire appara-
tus whicd proved efficient and will un-
doubtedly prove of great benefit to the
town.

why AN INDIAN WILL
RESPECT HIS Wife

On Saturday afternoon. two women
in neat rubber tired vehicle, while re-
turning from the country with veget-
ables, ran over an Indian. As they were
crossing the street near the l.. & l.. dur
ing a shower and concealing their faces
from a violent whirlwind, tall, slender
Indian, about twentyfi FIVE years of age,
with one hand clinging desperately to a
large white hat, bolted into the side of
the horse The wheels left strap of
red and white mud from the bottom of
his trousers to the top of his ear. In
stantly, he scrutinized the remains of a
cigarette tightly gripped between his
fingers and carefully repasting and
lighting it, he picked himself up and, ap-
parently unconscious of the circum-
stance, leisurely strolled to the sidewalk
and around the corner.
II is reported that the Indian has
sworn everlasting obedience and devo-
ton to his wife with whom, minute
previous, he had been quarrelling and
whom he suspects of having followed
him, and in the midst of the cloud OF
dust, performed stunts with him, he is
still at loss to understand.

players and with little fixing might
give Fallon pretty hard rub, but as it
was Fallon had great day smashing up
bats and wearing out bases.
The Yerington team argues that if
those people living here and who enjoy
good baseball game would lend the
team little support, an effort would
then be made to secure good pitcher,
and with a little practice they could
rank as topnotchers, but with no one
taking any interest whatever, they can
not be expected to beat the champions
of the State.
The Fallon bows returned home in
mighty good cheer Tuesday morning
and expressed the sincere hope that Yer
ington would soon arrange to play re-
turn game at Fallon.

A MOST ENJOYABLE DANCE

The dance in the evening under the
auspices of the Eagles was one of the
best conducted large social affairs ever
given in Yerington. Forty-six couples
paraded around the prettily lighted hall
in the grand march. The large floor
was in splendid shape and the music was
good. At II O'Clock delicious refresh
ments were served by the Women of
Woodcraft in the dining room of the
Commercial hotel After refreshments
dancing was continued until 3 O'Clock in
the morning.

FLOATING UPSIDE DOWN

An amusing incident, which might
have been a tragieal one, occurred
during the building of the lighthouse
on Minot's ledge, says the Boston
Transcript. Tremendous difficulties
were encountered. for the rock is only
visible at low tide, and then is so
covered with slippery sea moss as to
make it extremely difficult to keep q

Lots of hammers and tools were swept
from the rock and lost.
One of the workmen, more inventive
than the others conceived the brilliant
idea not only of wearing a life belt.

PICTORIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
BY KATHRYN RUCKER

PICTORIAL photography claims for
it's opponents number of talented
a amateur and professional camera
artists in Los Angeles. With two en-
ergetic and progressive camera clubs
which afford the most modern facilities
for good work-the Y. M. c. A. Camera
club and the Los Angeles Camera club
we may expect to be able to keep
abreast with the most advanced move
ments in this craft, which has had such
wonderful developments within the
past few years. The splendid POSSIBLE
tiles of Southern CALIFORNIA; climate
and environment make it specially at
tractiVe to the aspirant in pictorial
photography, and offer the widest range
of subject, from the vivid and pictur-
esque mountain trails, through the
charming poppv. fields and bright
blooming mustard, along the banks of
arroyo, and down in cool canyons; into
quaint streets of Chinatown, and on to
the bay, where fisher boats and, close
beside, the vari-colored habitations of
their owners are fascinating in their
broken reflections in its waters; sand
dunes near by; the old missions and
their ruins so full of romance and
charm; the one time home of the his
toric Indian maiden, Ramona; the des-
ert, with all it's mystery and solitude,
to be caught and expressed through the
camera, as by the painters brush, not
far distant. Surely this is a paradise
for the man behind the camera with
artistic feeling and appreciation, a love
of nature and understanding of her
many moods, so variously expressed
within so small radius
1t has been the purpose of this maya
zine to encourage and foster the por-
trayal by means of the camera ESQ pos
sible to alb of these many charming
scenes, together with their correspond
ing ideals in animal and human life
especially child life, whose innocense
and beauty are always an uplift and in
fluence for restraining evil; appeals to
the tenderest and best that lies within
the human heart
The pictures presented herewith are
all examples of successful efforts in
these directions 1.-THE Church of the
Angels" by Mrs. Neipp. is a record of
fact where fancy finds few faults. This
charming picture should prove an in
centive to every amateur possessing
camera to similar attainment. "Study
of a Cow" by a member of Los An
geles Camera club, is deserving of con-
sideration. and we hope to see more
animal pictures.

AN UNEXPECTED REPLY

A very demure little Frenchwoman,
who teaches her native tongue in a
well-known American college, learned

the college announced to the assembled

NICARAGUAN CONDITIONS.

The knowledge which the average
American possesses of Nicaragua and
the affairs of that country can be told
in very few sentences. He knows
that the country is one of a group Of
Central American republics where
revolutions seem to be the principal
crop raised and that the United
States narrowly missed building an
interoceanic canal through the coun
try. He has learned of late that
President Zelaya has cruely put to
death two Americans, who had mixed
up with matters which were none OF
their business and that this ruler has
been compelled to resign
In an article in recent number
of the Outlook, Frederic Palmer tells
something of Zelaya and Nicaragua.
He says that relative to its wealth,
this little country has spent more in
military preparations during the last
ten years than France or Germany,
has more men under it's arms than ia
pan had in Manchuria at the close OF
the war in Russia. The troops are
obtained by ruthless impressment.
A monopoly of the great staples of
life has been granted in majority of
instances. Zelaya is supposed to
own a majority of the shares of the
whisky monopoly, which pays an
average annual profit of 120 per
cent. The annual profits of the to-
bacco monopoly are from 80 to 100
per cent. An export tax is levied on
the staple products of the country.
The paper currency of the country is
not redeemaDle in coin, aelaya has
been an absolute dictator, holding
the power of life and death over all
his subject, Churches schools and
roads are neglected.
1t is a mockery of freedom to call
such form of government repub-
lie. Today Turkey and Russia have
a larger measure of self government
than Nicaragua possesses. In pro-
cess of time these Latin American
countries may work out a better sys-
tenn of government, but at present
they are not fitted for the task of rul-
ing themselves. A long process of
education is necessary before any
thing approaching real republic
can exist, and no great desire to go
to school is apparent at the present
time.
