were thrown from a buggy while
enjoying ride behind the formers
black PAGER. Both men escaped
injury other than severe shaking
up by their rather unexeoted bump
against the bosom Of mother earth.
The accident occurred on the road
near Minden. The PAGER frighten

dashed into the Ritchford stable
where he is kept.

ROYHL RECEPTION
IN FHTHERLHND

The old friends of VIM. Starke
and wife are turning portion of
Germany upside down in their ef-
forts to entertain their visitors.
The following appeared in news
paper of that country and is
translated and published lin order
that their friends may know what
what is doing:
Dorstfeld, Germany, Sept. 19-
The association of Mechanics
celebrated yesterday evening in
their hall in the form of a grand
banquet and dance, being of
especial character on account of
the visit here of the German
American H. VIM. Starke, who
was for % years a member OF this
organization.
After the POSTMASTER of the
evening in a speech of welcome,
Mr.. Starke addressed the club in
few well chosen remarks pictured
his experience in the United
States. Every word made a deep
impression upon his intently in
teresting audience. In his clos
ing remarks he described the
impression the place of his birth
(Dorstfeld) had made upon him
after his long absence and thought
the fare and expense from Gard
nervills to Dorstfsld amounted to
over 2000 marks he thought that
this money represented good in
vsstmsnt as the fact that he had
the opportunity to see once more
his aged father and his relatives.
The old mechanics knew how to
appreciate his talk as among them
were many who also left their
homes in order to seek fields of
usefulness among other nations.
Mr.. Starke is the son of the
popular citizen and property
owner Starke, commonly called
Lehuke, and though 78 years old
he took part in the celebration
with the spirit of a young man,
swinging the young ladies to the
music of dreamy waltzes.
No doubt this celebration will
live forever in the minds of the
membership and especially in the
minds of Mr.. and Mrs. Starke.

Mining IN
ALPINE COUNTY

L. l.. Brown, a mining man from
Reno, passed through Monday
night on his return from a trip to
Loope, says the Carson News,
where he went to see the Hercules
Consolidated mine and other
properties in the camp.
He says that he cannot believe
that Dame Nature has erected
such magnificent mineral monu-
ments in that section of the country
for the purpose Of deluding the
poor prospector, but that hidden
away under the surface indications
is a storehouse of the precious
minerals that will ere long be
brought to development and mark
another bonanza for that section
of the country.
The Hercules company is now
unwatering the mine to the lower
levels on which are splendid ore
bodies.
Capt. Curtz is daily taking out
good ore although he is just de-
veloping his ground.
When this country is developed,
says Mr.. Brown, it will be the
miners paradise.
Already two splendid electric
power plants on the headwaters of
the Carson river are in evidence
and the hum of the motors and
glare of the electric lights make
things look like business, added to
the alluring surface prospects of
the country, promise much in the
near future.

MHY BUHDLHRGE
STORAGE RESERVOIR

A meeting has been called for
the 23re of this month by the West
Fork Farmers Union and it is re-
ported that the feasibility OF con-
slructing a reservoir for the storage
of flood waters will be discussed i.
The union is composed OF about
thirty West Fork farmers and the
association has a reserve fund a
mounting to several thousand
dollars which could be applied
very effectively on the construction
of a reservoir. Several members
Of the union purchased a reservoir
site in Alpine county some
years ago aud are now desifious oil
transferring it to the union. The
site is known as Red Lake and is
80 situated as TO make an ideal
reservoir for conservation of food
waters for irrigation purposes.
1t il estimated, so it is stated,
that $4,000 would build reservoir
of sufficient capacity to insure the
farmers OF the West Fork bounti-
full supply of water even during
the most unfavorable seasons.
The storage reservoirs owned by
the East Fork farmers have long
since proved the important part
they take in preventing shortage
of water just at the time it is most
needed. They have been enlarged
year by year until now they have
a capacity to furnish flow of
900 inches for a period of 20 days.

stringing wire for a through line
from Bridgeport to Gardnerville
via Antelope Valley. The line is
alreody completed between Bridge
port and Antelope AMI the rest OF

RAISING FUNDS
TO PAINT CHURCH

The ladies of the Methodist
church launched a movement this
week to raise funds whith which to
paint the edifies. They have met
with fairly good success but the
amount needed is not raised by
far. Assfa I'd before in this paper,
Frank Jones is contributing his
services as pastor in order that the
funds collected at the services and
otherwise, may go towards painting
and repairing the building. Re-
member the little church around
the corner needs Just little of
your support.

Absence and Spring a jolly on him

Since the departure of DR.. Sweet

hearts of the fair ones of this vicin-

an electric engine, so girls don't

every word / write.
There are swindlers representing
that they can furnish just such
goods as / am offering you, be-
cause they know and take 1t for
granted that the people in general
know that there are hundreds OF
thousands of counterfeit" dollars
in circulation.
Their various methods and
schemes have been exposed from
time to time in the newspapers
throughout the entire country, and
their inability to furnish the
goods is clearly demonstrated the
moment they are requested to
submit them to examination.
My proposition to you in plain
terms is this: Would you be will
ing to cooperate with me in the
disposal of my goods providing
that | prove to you beyond all
doubt, that my work is an exact
duplication of the originals and
that it cannot be told from the
genuine, even by experts.
The almost Impossible chance OF
detection would occur only in case
you should attempt to deposit in a
Bank one of the Government Notes
and one of mine of the same de-
nomination, check letter a n d
number at the same time. A dis
Greet man can avoid this. Under
stand | do not expect you to invest
one dollar until you have examin-
ed my entire stock, from one to
one hundred thousand dollars,
compare them with the genuine,
and in fact, submit them to any
test Iyou may see fit, then after
you are satisfied on every point,
yeu can decide whether you will
accept my proposition or not To
give you an idea of the profits of
the business, will say that an in
vestment of 500 dollars would give
you an immediate return that
years of toll in your present busi-
ness would not do, and with
out lnjuring friends, neighbors or
your fellow man. To convince
you Of the safety of the business |
will, upon receipt of telegram, as
per enclosed note, send you a
sample of my work and | will al
so appoint place to meet you, so
that you can personally examine
my entire stock.
IL for any reason you decide not
to cooperate with me, | trust as an
honorable man, you will honor the
protection that the word "confden-
tial" ensures to all communica-
tions, burn this and let the matter
drop. Trusting, however, to hear
from you Immediately, ! remain,
Confidentially yours,
P. S.-Enclosed please find
clipping from Washington news
paper, which should assure of the
absolute safety of handling my
goods.

SWlNDLERS WORK EXPOSED
Green Goods Men Send Many
Letters to Nevada People
and are Exposed.

That shrewd gang of crooks,
claiming to have bank notes that
experts cannot detect, have been
sndeavoring to get Nevada people
to cooperate with them In dispos-
ing of their "green goods" is
evidenced by the letter published
exclusively in the Record Courier
today. Accompanying this letter
was purported press clipping
from Washington newspaper,
telling of the discovery of dupli-
cate currency in circulation which
we're not counterfeits but "Supri-
Gus" made from plates stolen from
the Bureau of Engraving. The
article winds up by saying sit
seems hard that a rich govern
ment should have such an ad-
vantage over poor people, but that
is the law. Perpahs that is the
reason why so many people and
some of them of high standing, are
ready and willing to handle such
bills, if they have an opportunity
to get them"
There is no way Of telling how
many people in Nevada received
a copy of this letter, and it may be
that some have been tempted by
the alluring offer:
CONFIDENTIAL
My Dear Sir;
Your name was sent to me by
my son (uho is my travelling rep
resentative) as a shrewd, reliable
and trustworthy man to cooperate
with you in your vicinity, and |
therefore take the liberty of pro-
posing a scheme to you that ninety
nine out of a hundred up-to-date
men would gladly grasp if they
could personally examine my
work, thereby convincing them
selves of the absolute safety of my
offer.
| am an expert engrayer, having
for 25 years been employed in the
Bureau of Engraving, Washington,
D. c., and for II years Superin-
tendent of one of the largest Bank
Note Companies in the country.
Every moment of my leisure time
was spent in practioing the dupli-
cation of the One, Five and Ten
Dollar notes, and as these were the
original denominations | had work
ed upon, you can believe me when
l say they are perfect.
Now, my dear sir, | am fully
aware of the suspicion and pre-
judice that you naturally will
entertain for my proposition, and
you will on first thought probably
think the matter not worth your
consideration; but if you will
postpone your decision and look
upon my proposition from busi-
ness standpoint, you will certainly
give me credit for not being idiot
enough to waste my time address
ing a man of your standing in the
community on subject such as
this, unless | could, beyond the

On account of storms all the week the demand for stockers and feeders was slack, and prices on the same closed a shade lower for the week. The run of cat tie yesterday was 6500 head with the market strong to 10 cents higher. The west is in the grip of another storm and prospects indicate light runs and strong markets later in the week. Colorado and Idaho stockers have sold lately at $4.6565.25. and best range stockers at $4.75G 800, medium grade beef steers from $5.00 q5.50. The first train of the Lock hart steers were on the market here yesterday These steers are standard production, of about the same weight and quality from year to year, and furnish an interesting line on the market. The dehorned steers in the shipment weighed 1881 lbs. and sold at S5.eO, the horned steers averaged 1514 lbs. and brought the same price. The first shipment a year ago was HldOS dbOUl q ht6h idl6I llldil llllS year. and sold at $5.25.

 Sheep and lambs gained steadily last week, the supply being S5,000 for the week Lambs have been com ing more freely than yearlings or sheep, and are therefore the weak est spot in the market.

FOR UNDER SECRETARY OF
 STATE.

It is reported that Mir. Knox's se lection for the new post of Under Secretary of State is Mir. William A. Day of New York, vice president of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. In Who's Who in America" Mir Days biography occupies eight lines only. though within this brief space it is stated that he was a special assistant to the attorney general of the United States in cases under the interstate and anti trust laws. and assistant attorney general in charge of the prosecution of trust cases from 1903 to 1905. Mir. Knox would natur- ally like to have with him in the state department a former lieutenant in the department of justice, and Mir. Days willingness to leave his more lucrative position in New York tes- tifies to a high regard for his old time chief. Possibly, also, he thinks 1t fair to assume that from being a mere under secretary of state he might some day be transferred to the more exalted diplomatic office occu- pied for a time by person Of almost identical name. the Hon. William F. Day.

4 MISAPPREHENSION

The Providence Journal speaking of the statehood bill says:
 Under suspension Of the rules, and by a practically unanimous vote. the house of representatives has voted to admit New Mexico and Arizona as separate states. the passage of the bill being greeted by its friends as an event of great importance, as, in- deed, it would be if the senate were likely to concur. But the controlling elements in the upper house are be- Iieved to have no such intention, so that the rejoicing of Monday seems a trifle premature. Surely these two territories have had a hard road to travel on their way to statehood Year after year they have striven for admission 10 the union, only to have their aspirations frustrated; though a chance was offered them to come in as a single state, and this they re- fused. In considering the desirability Of their entrance, the addition of four southwestern members to the United States senate should not be forgotten. Whichever party they rep resent they will swell the radical ranks"
 Not necessarily. Arizona of all the western states and territories has been the least radical and the most Ievel-headed. Fopulism has never nourished in this soil. Even the sil- yer craze which swept over the en- tire west was of shortest duration in Arizona, rich in silver mines.
 The records made by our legisla- lures for several years past show nothing of radicalism, though here and there spots of other kinds of foolishness are disclosed. The Jour nal would hardly contend that Rhode Island legislatures have left an ab- solutely clear record in this respect.
