FARMERS SUFFER
ENORMOUS LOSS

10000 worth of alfalfa every

says that the field mice in the
Humboldt Valley last year, de-
stroyed $1,000 acres out of total
sf 10000 acres OF alfalfa, SO that
the fields had to be plowed and
replanted
During the past year" said
Secretary Wilson, "the biographi-
cal survey sent two assistants to
Nevada for the purpose of making
experiments and showing the
ranchmen how to destroy the mice.
After several trials il was dscov-
cred that sulphate of strychnine

alfalfa hay is the most effective
poison. Even on ranches where
the number of field mice reached
the astonishing total of 10000 to

WHAT WOODMEN
Are DOING

At the last meeting OF the Ex-
ecutiye Council of the Modern
Woodmen Society, held at Rock
Island, H., it was decided to con-
duct that Socisty's sanatorium,
located at Colorado Springs., for
the. treatment of members athlete d
with tuberculosis, free of all charge
to members.
The Modern Woodmen Society,
several months since, acquired
$50 acres of land within seven
miles of Colorado Strings, and has
established thereon an up-to-date
sanatorium, the tent colony plan
being employed.
The members and local camps of
the Society have voluntarily con-
tributed to the Sanatorium fund
over $4,000, and at the national
convention a permanent tax OF ten
cents per member per year was
voted to the support of this work.
Each life saved to the Woodmen
Society, by means of this sanator-
ium, will, it is stated, represent a
saving of S1,700-the average a.
mount ST the Woodmen policies in
force-at an expense for treatment
of approximately one-twentieth Ct
that sum. In the broader sense,
each life saved means the preserv-
alton to the family of its head and
bread winner, and to the state of a
useful, self-sustaining citizen.

Last Tuesday bank depositers
throughout the State received the
second shock within two years
when every bank in which Frank
Golden is in control, with one ex-
ception, closed its doors. In an
interview in the Reno Journal,
Frank Golden says:
nIhe Nye ard Ormsby Bank
with branches in Reno, Manhattan
Wonder and Tonopa,h has decided
to go out of business. This action
has nothing to do with, nor will
it in any way effect the First
National Bank of Carson or the
First National Bank of Goldfield
which are operated under National
Bank charters and have nothing
whatever to do with the Nye and
Ormsby institutions.
"After the hard times started in
this States, the Nye and Ormsby
Bank began to contract its liabili-
ties and while in October 1907 the
deposits amounted to S3, 100000
today we have only between $780,
900 and 100000 on our books.
Against this we have assets to
meet all obligations consisting sf
mortgages, collateral and securi-
ties amounting to 81 500, 900, more
than four times the amount of our
Indebtedness"
"No bank in the country is in
better position rs regards solveney
today, than the Nye and Ormsby
County. Not only will no deposit
or suffer the loss of a penny, but
the stockholders as well are ad
eauatelv secured. Business has
been too slow in recovering and
our expenses are too high to con-
tinue operations at a reasonable
profit.
"Rather than continue to tie up
the capital of ourselves and our
stockholders, the directors voted to
liauidate the bank and go out OF
business. Had we desired to 90
ahead, it would have been at the
price of considerable distress to
those indebted to us. Any sudden
effort at realizing on our assets
would have created financial
disturbance and we have never
distressed or sued anybody so We

two institutions are in an exceed

absolutely nothing to do with the
banks we are closing. If the de-
positors in these national banks
