Electricity Will Soon Make Mining
Industries Buzz. Power Is
Fast Penetrating Camps.

The new electric power company,
which has run its surveys from Mono
Lake to Rawhide, Wonder and Fair
view, is making every endeavor to COM
plete construction work before fall
BY furnishing these camps with power
there will be revival in mining lines
on an economic basis. Any of the des-
err camps are handicapped where they
have to burn gasoline, and in the intro
duction of electric power it means the
treatment of ores that would other
wise be thrown over the dump as too
low grade to handle at profit. 1t is
expected that the new corporation will
be landing power in the camps by the
first of the year. The camps of Au-
rora, Bodie and Lucky Boy are already
feeling the effects of this power line,
and extensive work is being carried on
in anticipation of the installation.

Railroad Activity In The Vicinity
of Fernley Is Very Marked.

A local party, who recently made a
trip to Reno, stated to this paper that
upon his return trip, he observed some
thing Of the railroad activities at
Fernley, where he said train load of
steel, comprising sixteen cars, was
standing on the Fernley siding, waiting
to be unloaded. One thing particular
ly noticeable is the extraordinary
weight of the steel, which is even
heavier than that used on the Central
Pacific main line. Following logical
line of reasoning the heavy rails and
other first-class equipment already in
evidence for the projected road, proves
1t to be without doubt a. connecting link
between the Southern Pacific lines in the
northwest and the Central Pacific.
The completion of the so-called Fern
ley-Lassen railroad, will in all proba-
bility complete line that will run from
Los Angeles to Portland and Seattle,
with connections east via the Salt Lake,
the Central Pacific and the o. r. & N.
railroads. all roads either owned or
controlled by the Southern Pacific

COUNTY'S
v 0 T { R s
ARE REGISTERING RAPIDLY
FaIlOn's Registration Passes Five Hundred Marx
And Increases Are Reported From
Mosi County Precincts. Great
Interest Being Manifested,

The Standards sights were far too
low, as evidenced in our last issue,
when We gave the probable total of
voters registered in this city when
the books close this evening at 525.
Already the number has reached sos,
and there are many who will hasten to
Judge Jones legal parlors during the
course of today. 1t would not be sur
prising if New River precincts regis
tration should total around $50, when
the books have closed. And from
every part of the county healthy
registration is being evidenced. St.
Clair, Saltwater and Fairview precincts
will all enter the column of precincts
having more than l00registered voters,
while Hazen and Wonder will crowd
this number pretty close. Churchill
county will cast banner vote next
month, and the complexion of this vote
Is very uncertain quantity just now.
1t is the one thing above all others,
that is bothering the vote getters,
who are leaving no ston. unturned in
searching out the individuals.
Much complaint is being made by
electors, and justly too, this paper be-
lieves. at the lack of publicity that is
being given the issues that presumably
characterize the two old parties. So
far little has been seen of either the
Republican or Democratic platforms,
while county candidates have studiously
avoided public meetings, but preferred
TO forego this luxury in favor OF per-
sonai interviews. Many of the
Standards readers want to know some-
thing of the political precepts of the
competing candidates.

Dwight T. Smith.

Progress and the adoption of up-to-
date methods in the administration of
school affairs in the state of Nevada is
now an outspoken popular command.
The state has passed the stage where
it will be satisfied with back-woods
methods in educational matters.
Every man, woman and child is inter-
ested. Hundreds of new families that
are contemplating making Nevada
their future home look upon the schools
of the state as C first Importance.
So, when there was vancy on the
Republican state ticket, caused by the
death of Nevada's veteran educator,
Orvis Ring, the Central Committee dill
gently sought for the right man to
place at the helm of schools of the
state.
They detected Dwight 7. Smith of
Virginia City, Instructor in charge of
the State School of Mines of that place.
He is fine scholar, an experienced in
structor and keeniy awake to the needs
of Nevada schools, both in centers of
largest population, and in the remote
and sparsely settled rural districts.
He believes in a uniform standard
throughout the state. He wants pu-
pill in one part of the state to have the
same advantage in one section as in
another section of the state. He
wants this uniformity of standard to
apply to scholarship requirements, on
the part of the pupil and to individual
efficiency ON the part of the teaching
corps as whole. He also believes in
sufficient latitude for the development
of individuality and aptness along spec
ial lines. He believes in specializing
in teaching in the larger schools. He
believes in free text books, SO that the
poorest child may have an equal advan-
tage with the child of the most wealthy.
But he would have the Free Text Book
law so drafted as to guard against
graft scandals in this state.

Many Ranchers VIII Hold Their
Alfalfa Hay Crop For Future
Developments.

1t is claimed that nearly five thous-
and tons of alfalfa hay have been
bought from local producers by the
Western Meat Company, through its
agents. In all there is more than 3d.
900 tons of alfalfa hay in this valley
that remains unsold, according to
those who have figured the aggregate
crops, and many are holding hoping for
a higher market price in this county,
when the building operations on the
Fefnley-Lassen railroad begin. The
piling up of rails at Fernley's sidings
and the reported letting of contracts to
big dirt movers seems to warrant TINS
speculative spirit on the part of Church
i'll county hay raisers. We hope they
will realize handsomely by waiting, and
from present indications, this is the
only conclusions that can be had, for

tractors working north from Fernley.

lhTEnSIFIES
THE VALLEY

Now that the government has tenn
porarily withdrawn from entry all
lands not previously appropriated in
the Lahontan valley. the attitude of
the great ranch owners there is worthy
Of favorable comment.
Some of the largest estates in that
valley, improved, partly improved or
virgin soil, but all being under canals,
are being cut into small holdings and
sold on terms about the same as those
offered by the government.
Therefore the influx of settlers need
not cease. as would otherwise have
been the case when the allotting of
government land ceased.
lnasmuch as the private water rights
IN Churchill county are permanently
established, the purchasers of these
private tracts secure title equally as
good as that given by the government.
The success of the small landholder
IN the neighborhood Of Fallon has been
such that other large ranches else
where in the state might successfully
be colonized and thus the way would
be paved for intensive cultivation, up
on which the future of agriculture and
horticulture in this state largely de-
pends. Reno Gazette.

FERhLEMTE WAS
HERE TUESDAY

&. j. Barrow came over from Fern
ley Monday and while here told some
thing of the leaps and bounds that
have characterized the development of
his section. Fernley district, MIR. Bar
row said, is forging rapidly to the fore,
and now that land is no longer available
for purchase cysr there, a great de-
mand for the same is evinced by
outside people, Reno contributing
large quote of land hungry investors
who see in the building of the Fernley-
Lassen railroad and the Truckee- Car
son irrigation system, two factors that
are sure to make of the Fernley section
prize district. Mr.. Barrow owns a
selection of land within stones throw
Of the Fernley depot that will some of
these days be given over to townsite
purposes.
The unloading of railroad steel and
other necessary supplies continues at
Fernley, according to Mr.. Barrow, who
tells Us that Y for switching purposes
was completed last week Erickson &
Peterson, the contractors who were
awarded the contract for building the
first 100 miles out of Fernley, have but
eighteen months in which TO complete
the same. and it is reported that dirt
will be flying very soon. The COM
pletion of 100 miles of track of the
FernleyLassen road will mean the ex-
tension of the road to a point near
Susanville, California, and this distance
will undoubtedly be only q link in a
north to south road that will connect
the great Northwest with the ever
growing Southwest, having the easiest
grades obtainable in the west.

OUTSIDE PRODUCTS
BEING SHIPPED IN.

1t would seem that there is really
little excuse for local business houses
shipping in eggs, butter, etc, as is the
practice in certain periods of the year.
The fault must rest with the people
who are producers who should pay
more attention to these very important
adJunets to farms income. Poultry
raising is coming to be more and more i'm
portant as local industry. Some of the
farmers of this valley are paying con-
siderable attention to the raising of
poultry, but the field is still untouched,
speaking in broad sense of the term.
This year more turkeys will be shipped
from this town than ever before, but
the number is only fractional part of
what will be shipped regularly when
the idea has taken firm hold among the
farmers of the valley. OF course, it
takes some means to properly equip
for raising chickens, turkeys, geese or
ducks. but with anything like ordinary
luck, the returns pay abundantly.

ratus for thoroughly modern moving

will be operated three evenings each

entertainment. He has arranged 10 be
accorded the privileges extended to the
moving picture shows of Reno. and will

on the part of Mr.. Bendle precludes
further visitations of the travelling
grafters, who have in times past preyed
upon this community.

Fish Commissioners Are About To
Stock Nevada Streams
With Trout.

The employees of the Fish Commits
sion under the direction of Fish Cultur-
ist Oldenburg will leave in a few
days for Marlette Lake to secure the
spawn of the Eastern Brook Trout.
They anticipate taking out about S00,-
600 of this variety, which will be eyed
at Carson hatchery and then trans
ferred to the state hatchery at Verdi
and from there to all streams in Ne
yada. The work of the Commission
for the past two years has been very
successful. The records show there
has been over two million eight hun
dred thousand trout of all varieties
distributed in the waters of Nevada in
1909 and 1910. The work of the COM
mission for the ensuing two years has
commenced and the spawn taking will
continue until May of next year. The
people of Nevada should appreciate
the excellent work of the commission
and give the gentlemen of the commits
sion the credit which they deserve.

A Churchill County Mining Company
Floats Big Bond Issue, There
by Cancelling Debts.

The Nevada Wonder Mining Com
pany, of Wonder, whose headquarters
are in Philadelphia, recently financed
an issue of bonds that paid off an in
debtedness of $225,Oo and left 5000
in the treasury, according to the Won
der Mining News, which says that the
company has negotiated 5000 feet of
underground workings and that every
breast in the mine is in ore. 1t is es-
timated that this nine will join the
ranks of producers shortly after the
first of the year, and that operation of
the 100-ton mill now being installed
will result in net profit of around
SAB, 600 monthly. At this time suf-
fcient ore is in sight without further
development work to run the mill for a
period of six years.

DISTRICT COURT ISSUES ORDER
Ruling Favorable to Ernst Cause in The Case
Of Reppnsr vs.. Ernst Made by Judge
Pike and Case Will Shortly
Go To Trial.

Following an argument of three days
Judge Pike yesterday evening decided
the demurrer of the defendants to the
complaint in the case of DIR. A. H.
Heppner against the administrator of
the estate of George Ernst and others.
In this case the plaintiff. DR.. Heppner.
sued the administrator of the estate of
George Ernst and the heirs of George
Ernst for the specific performance of a
contract in which Ernst agreed to sell
10 DR.. Heppner a ranch in Churchill
county alleged to contain 400 acres of
cultivated land with the water rights
thereto, also for an abatement of the
purchase price, for damages for non
performance, also for damages for
failure TO deliver personal property and
for physicians fees. The defendants.
by their attorneys, Cheney, Massey &
Price, demurred to the complaint on
the ground that there was misjoinder
of parties and misjoinder of actions.
Judge Pike decided the demurrer as
follows:
In the FIRST cause of action in which
the plaintiff prayed for the specific per-
formance of the contract to deliver the
land and for an abatement of the pur-
chase price, Judge Pike overruled the
demurrer and the case will go to trial
on those issues. n the second cause
of action, which was for alleged dam
ages for non-delivery of certain land,
Judge Pike sustained the demurrer on
the ground that this cause of action is
Incorporated in the first cause of action.
In the third cause of action, which was
for damages for the failure of the de-
livery of personal property, the demur-
rer was sustained on the ground that
the action should be against the ad-
ministrator of George Ernst and not
against the heirs of George Ernst as
well as the administrator. In the
fourth cause of action, which was for
physicians fees, the Judge sustained
the demurrer ON the ground that the
suit should be against the administra-
tor alone and not against the heirs
together with the administrator. The
Judge then ordered that the third and
fourth causes of action be divided and
that they be tried separately. This
will make three distinct suits arising
from what was at first one suit in one
complaint.
The case involves some of the richest
lands in Churchill county and will be
stubbornly contested Attorneys Lew
ers and Henderson and Summerfield
and Curler appear for the plaintiff and
attorneys Cheney, Massey & Price ap-
pear for the defendants.

A LONELY
DEATH
BERNARD MCGOWAN DEAD
Found in His Bed Monday BY Aeighbors. Death
Resulted From Natural Causes. Deceased
Leaves Relatives in San Francisco
Who Have Been Notified.

Bernard MCGOWAN, bachelor home
steader who lived on farm unit two
and one-half miles southeast of Fallon,
was found dead in his bed Monday
evening by ]. H. Degener and Z. W.
Pierson, nearby neighbors. A coro-
ner's jury ieliberated over the evidence
Tuesday morning, assisted by Ex-Of-
ficio Coroner I. A. Jones, the local JUS
tice. and after weighing the evidence,
concluded that death had resulted early
Monday morning from natural causes.
Near the bed in which the deceased
was found by his neighbors was a card
bearing the notation, retired at $50
D. m. feeling very badly" Mr.. Pier
son testified that the deceased had COM
planned of severe pains about his chest
when he last saw him alive on Sunday
afternoon. Mr.. Degener testified SUBJ
stantially to the same effect.
Mr.. MCGOWAN was a taciturn old
man, who had lived alone through his
whole life. He came to this section
about four years ago from Keswick,
California, where he worked in a smell
ter, and located on homestead south
of town. The tract is particularly
valuable piece Of land, and this year
for the first time, crops of value were
raised therefrom.
The only known relatives reside in
San Francisco and are a brother Tom,
and sister Kate, from whom letter
was received on the day the deceased
passed away. The usual family greet
ings were extended in the message,
showing friendly feeling existing be-
tween deceased add his kinspeople.
Coroner Jones Immediately notified the
relatives by wire of the demise of their
brother. and his body is being held at
Blacks undertaking parors awaiting
word from them as to its disposition.
Deceased was one of tbose who live
through long life "alone in his cabin. "
And his condition is not made more
sorrowful, when in the fullness Of
time he dies as he has lived--alone.
There is, it is true, something shocking
in such close of a life, when the
spark of vitality leaves mustered, and
death comes to one unattended. 1t is
unspeakably sad. But after all, the
pity is not 50 much for his lonely death,
but for his lonely, fruitless life. But
