NAY SELL Big five
RANCH

r. M. Lee, cashier of the Nixon
National bank, Reno, was in Lovelock
last week, with party of prospective
for the Big Five ranch,
showing them over the property, of
which he is one of the owners.
The Big Five, which is one of the
largest ranches of the state, is man
aged by Commissioner H. Stoker who
is one-sixth owner of the property.
1t contains S,160 acres, of which g.
900 are under cultivation, grain and
alfalfa being the principal crops. Wa
ter for irrigation is taken from the
Humboldt river, being stored in a res
ervoir covering LOO acres, and the
land has been leveled and ditched so
that every acre Of the entire ranch can
be irrigated with little trouble.
While it requires in the neighbor-
hood Of quarter of a million to han
die the deal, the eastern men were so
faovrably impressed with the property,
which was inspected in the midst of
an abundant harevst, that it is prob
able they will buy it.

SHANGHAI NEVADA
PRINTER

Alfred E. Mccarthy, son of State
Printer Mccarthy, in in the city this
week and has in his possession a let
ter from member of Explorer Am
undsen's crew concerning a planned
trip to the north pole and asking him
to be one of the members of the crew
of Amundsen's ship. Young Mccarthy
had quite a strange experience in
1907 1905 and could write book on
his adventures that would probably
put many of the late novels in the
shade.
Going from Tonopah to San Fran
cisco early in 1907 he met young man
who led him on to the water front. Be
ing in search of adventure he signed
up to go on what he believed to be
fishing cruise, but which was in reality
a whaling expedition into the Arctic
ocean. He was taken on board the
steam whaler Karluk under the com
mand of Captain J. A. Wing. He left
San Francisco harbor on March 11th,
1907, and from then until he returned
to San Francisco in November, 1908,
kept log of the ship for himself and
companions.
According to this log, which is now
in the possession of Gazette man,
nearly all hands were sea sick for the
first four days out and the writer Of
the log, A. f. Mccarthy, wished that
he was with McGinty at the bottom of
the sea. Finally this sea sickness pass
ed however, and all the members of
the crew who had suffered began to en-.
JOY the ocean, despite the hard work
they mad bargained for.
The members of this crew sailed into
waters above the 10Th parallel and
spent some time in that frozen region
hunting seal and polar bears. Their
experiences were certainly exciting
and every exciting incident is register
ed in McCarthy's log.
Mccarthy states that as yet he has
not decided whether he will go into the
north again or not. He claims that the
Nevada climate looks pretty good to
him after that exciting trip into the
north on whaler.-Gazette.

INLAND EMPIRE CANDIDATE
FOR AVIATION MEET

SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. 7.-One
hundred thousand dollars in cash
prizes and adequate fields for trials
are guaranteed by the Spokane cham
Der of commerce to the Aero club of
America to have the international avi-
alton meet of 1910 near Spokane or in
any part of the Inland Empire, pro-
vided the Wrights, Curtiss, Bleriot,
Paulham and birdmen of equal note
are entered in the contests.
l.. G. Monroe, secretary of the com
mercial organization, who has just
submitted a proposition, embracing
the foregoing, to the board of direct
DDS of the Aero club, said:
"The fact that New York does not
appear to have 'cinch on the COM
ing meet leads us to believe that Spo-
kane's proposition will receive careful
consideration. Many Of our 900 mem
bers are willing to subscribe to the
100000 fund and we have assurances
from others. so there will not be the
least difficulty in raising the amount
in short time. Spokane is ready to
make good"

GREAT MEN INDULGE
IN ANCIENT PAsTIME
(SpeciaI TO silver state News)

N0p0Sioi W OnFCI 6t6to NoWUJ
SPOKANE, Wash, Sept. Fly
loo,' game popularized by the Chi
nese long before the advent of Con-
fucius and since then the pastime Of
the Filipinos, served to while away
several hours for three members of
the United States senate, the head of
a transcontinental railroad, his assist
ant and chief of its legal department
in the west at headquarters of the gov.
ernment irrigation project in Tieton
canyon, near North Yakima, Wash, the
other day. Howard Elliott. president
of the Northern Pacific Railway com
pany, who "butted i'm with coin
borrowed from other players, after los.
ing his own, swept the boards and thus
again added support to superstition
generally accepted by the sporting fra
ternity.
Senator Carter, of Montana, and
Elliott started the game by placing
Jumps Of sugar on the seat Of q camp
chair. Each deposited a dime under
the cube and waiting for the flies to
pounee upon the esweets, the argument
being that the first fly alighting on a
cube declares its owner the wianer of
the pot. Carter was trimming Elliott
to frazle when Thomas Cooper, as
sistant to the railway man, joined. still
Carter continued to win. Elliott offer-
ed to bet big red apples, but the Mon
tana senator declined.
Senators Paynter, Of Kentucky, and
Chamberlain, of Oregon, then took
hands and the former cleared up $3.50.
Judge Reed, of Tacoma, also played
in his loose change without as much
as look-in, when Elliott came back
Borrowing 80 cents from Senator
Paynter, he won from the start and
ended by taking all the money in
sight.
1t is limited that the secret of Ell
liott's success was due to soaking his
cube in clover honey, also that he
daubed his opponents Jumps with
ammonia; but that's another story.

Sullivan, Ole Elliott, Arthur Weber,
Charles Evans and Mike Callahan, in
charge Of arrangements for entertain
ment to be afforded visitors in Gold

ing the week and afternoon Of Satur-
day, October 2. Also ON the first and
second Sundays of the important

mittee feels that the work Of the con-
gress will not be interfered with and
the visitors, between sessions, be af-
forded good time and see Goldfeld
looking its liveliest.
In the first place there Is going to be
plenty of light on the scene when the
shades of night have fallen. On Main
and Columbia streets and intersecting
avenues, thousands of incandescent
lights will make the down town por-
tion look particularly gay. Several
bands will be engaged to discourse
music during the evenings and with
the other attractions the time when
the congress is not in recess will be
passed merrily.
The big night will be Saturday night
when one of Goldfeld's special brand
of Mardi Gras will be pulled of, con-
sisting of street parade, the partici-
pants made up "to beat the band. -
In the afternoon of Saturday q drill
ing contest will be conducted at the
corner of Main and Crook streets. A
grand ball will also be one of the
events of the week.
There will not be too much enter
tainment but just enough to please
and not interfere with the important
work of the congress- News.
