EARTHQUAKE
TERRIBLE SUFFERING FOLLOWS
THE CATACLYSM IN ITALY. AID
is BEING RUSHED

ROME, Jan. 2.-Although graphic
stories are coming into Rome of the
; horrors in Southern Italy and Sicily
these are but repetitions of individual
tragedies already recorded.
What chiefly concerns the govern
ment and t he people is the progress
that is being made toward the relief
of hose who have suffered by the
dread visitation. Considerable ad-
vance has been made in this respect
at Messina where. according to off
cial reports received here, the supply
service is beginning to work salts
factorily.
The different regions Of the coast
nave been allotted to various war
ships and other ships as centers from
torpedo boats and launches may dis
tribute rations and water to the diff
ferent villages.
The appalling extent of the disas-
ter renders anything like systam-
attic search of the ruins impossible
but persons are being dragged out
continually and are being transported
to the relief ships as soon as their
wounds receive attention.
Slight shocks were felt in the
earthquake zone to-day completing
the ruins Of the crumbling buildings.
These shocks keep up the alarm of
the population. One quite severe
shock was felt at o'clock in the
morning and another at 8.
Fires are still burning although
much rain has fallen. The latest in
vestigatiOns on both sides of the
Straits make it certain that many
more than half the population Of the
coast towns and villages have been
killed.

COUNTY GOVERNMENT TO
CHANGE A BIT MONDAY

| Monday, January 4, will see a COM
plete change in some Of the offices
of the county government.
! The most notable is that of the
sheriff's office as VIM. Kinney, who
has been sheriff for about fourteen
years, gives way to Ed. Regan, who
was elected last fall.
Regan was county commissioner
and his place will be filled by ap-
pointment from the governors office.
1t is believed that o. w. Tenant
will be the appointee. The deputy
in the sheriff's office will be John
G. Ellis, whose sterling qualities have
made him many friends in Ormsby
county.
R. S. Randall will be the new coun-
ty commissioner with Tenant and
E. P. Esser, ali three being we'll
known men in this county and men
of good common sense and expert
ence.
Ed O. Patterson remains county
clerk, Joe stern, IecOIucI, T. T.
Roberts, district attorney, Judge Fol
som, justice of the peace and A. D.
Grant, constable. They, with Franz
P. Langan, judge for the first judicial
district, constitute the county Off
GERS
At the same time the new city
marshal, George Cowing. will be
sworn in. 1t is stated his deputies
will be those that have acted under
the former regime
1t is possible the mixup between
the incoming sheriff and the city
trustees in regard to housing city
prisoners in the county Jail will be
adjusted at this time, as Regan has
expressed himself as willing to care
for them if the city will pay for their
keep sufficiently to allow him to hire
a night jailer AS this will be much
cheaper than building a city Jail it
may be the plan pursued.

A BIG CASE
SETTLED

An agreement has been reached be-
tween the water users of the Walker
river and the Miller & Lux corpora
ton as to the question Of proper dis
tribution of water in that stream to
the lands adjacent thereto.
The agreement includes every user
of water on the stream, even the gov
ernment signing with the individual
users. Only the Hickey lands in
California are left out as they are
not in the jurisdiction of the state
engineer nor of the court.
Referee Thurteli has completed his
report and his allotment and the
whole case is settled except for the
order of the Federal court confirm
ing the findings of the referee. 1t is
about the most complete adjustment
of a water controversy that has been
made in the history of water liti
cation in the state and settles the
fight on Walker river, a fight that
has some on for over a third of a cen,
tury.

finish of the case has been found to
be immaterial and the case being set
tied there is no longer any need for

ter has been continued to January

rington to purge his court or hold

Peter Finley Dunno. attorney for
the Southern Pacific, has tied a re-
quest with the state railroad COM
mission for permission to examine
the books of merchants and shippers
in Reno or elsewhere in Nevada
At first blush it looked like a joke
but the argument is that the railroad
company having allowed an eXamina-
ton of its books is entitled to the
same privilege, and Commissioner
Thurtell thinks it would be a good
thing for the commission and for the
fight now being made for a terminal
rate .Ioint in Nevada The commits
sission will discuss the request and
take the action necessary in the
matter.
Secretary Walker and Mr.. McCune
have finished their examination of
the railroad books, where Secretary
Walkers knowledge of the books and
accounts of the Reno Office stood the
examiners in good stead. 1t will take
many days to work mp the notes and
tabulate the data. which includes
the business for 1908 for carload lots
and for four months in detail Of less
than carload shipments.
1t is believed that the railroad
company intends to show that prices
in Nevada have not been made Who'll
ly upon the freight rates. if allowed

The Farmers Discouraged

The season of 1909 has been one of
great encouragement TO the farming
community Notwithstanding they have
fairly good crops and are receiving good
prices for their grain and stock. In the
springtime there was so much rain that
the crops were planted and cultivated
with much difficulty. Then there came
II spell of dry weather that seriously
affected the crops in some parts of the
state, In this section the corn crop has
not cured well for some reason, While
the grain is all right the cobs are inclin-
ed to mould so that some farmers found
il advisable to throw the corn out of the
crib 10 give it Il better chance to dry
The coming of this rain and snow at
time when the corn should be gathered
il not only discouraging but may entail
considerable loss by leaving much of IL
in the field through the winter

THANKSGIVING
UNION SERVICE
WILL BE HELD THIS EVENING IN
THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
DIR. Morley VIII Preach The Sermon,
The Pastors of other Churches
VIII Take Part In Service

Today is Thanksgiving Day, II is Il
day for all the people, 1t touches all
hearts and homes No one is barred by
class, creed or nationality. There is
much for which to give thanks. AS
President Taft says in his proclamation;
During the past year we have been
highly blessed, No great calamities or
flood or tempest or epidemic sickness
have befallen us. We have lived in
quietness, undisturbed by wars or ru-
mors of wars. Peace and the plenty of
bounteous crops and of great industri al
production animate Il cheerful and reso-
lutte people to all the renewed energies
of beneficial industry and material pro
gress. 1t is altogether fitting that we
should humbly and gratefully acllno wi
edge the divine sourceof all these bl ess-
ings. AS nation we have had
great prosperity, AS individuals, many
have had a successful year. Yet there
are many others who suffer from pinch
ing poverty, whose tables today will be
but scantily furnished with Thanks
giving dinner. Others are bowed down
with grief much too heavy for mortal
tC bear. Many homes are draped in
mourning and many chairs about the
tables today are vacant. While we are
enjoying an abundance in this cOmmu.
nifty and state, let us remember with
thanksgiving that the lines have fallen
to us in pleasant places, and we should
rejoice over such a heritage.
THE FIRST THANKSGIVING DAYS
In the fall of 1890, about one hundred
Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.
Within six months Gov. Carver and
forty-three others had died. and the
Mayflower had returned to the other
side of the sea When the harvest was
gathered that year. Gov. Bradford
sent four huntsmen into the forest for
game so they might rejoice together.
And history records that the four killed
as much as with little help besides it
served the company for almost u week,
though some ninety savages were invi-
ted to dine with them The first one
given in Massachusetts, was held Febru-
airy ~, along about 1880, and theTecord
saws that While there was plenty Of
game, the home supplies were practic-
ally exhausted Mrs, Winthrop, wife
of the governor, was baking her last
two loaves of bread and the Governor
had appointed a Fast Day" But be
fore Mrs Winthrops bread was baked
the lookout on Fort Hill announced that
he could see a ships mast in the outer
harbor. The ship was the Lion and the
Fast Day" was changed to n day Of
public thanksgiving and praise.
THEY WERE MORE RELIGIOUS
The Thanksgiving Days in the early
history of this country were distinctly
though not exclusively religious. Our
ancestors had good appetites as well as
good conscience. They believed in
feasting Us well as fasting and greatly
preferred the former. But they We're
profoundly religious and came to this
country to secure and establish freedom
of religious worship. Our forefathers
recognized the Divine Providence, al,
! though they knew but little about His
