Little Light taking second place in next
heat.
The second event was saddle horse
race, won by Frank Hartman.
The next was a thoroughbred race,
which was a tie between the Allen
mare and the Kinkead horse. These
two horses run the second time, the
Allen horse carrying off the honors.
The boys pony race was won by
Archie Ferguson, son of Fin Ferguson.
The closing event and the most ex-
citing of all was the bucking contest.
The first horse brought out was sorrel,
an outlaw from Montana, owned by
Harper brothers. A Mexican named
Charley Graneo, mounted and the horse
began bucking at a good lively clip.
The rider was thrown in few seconds
and then the chase began. The vague
roes cireled the outlaw over the sand
hills and through the greesewood and
were not long in leading him back, but
the rider did not make the second at
tempt. Charley Bailey rode a little
gray and gave fine exhibition. A
little roam was then ridden by Jack |
Hogan of Washington. The horse was
a star performer. A purse of $27 was
raised for any man who would stay on

of irrigation projects, private ant
government, has been run and within
another six weeks Count Skormaidofl
will be on the bounding deep bound fol-
the autocrat of all the Rusaias, tc
whom he will submit detailed report
of how Uncle Sam conducts irrigation
enterprises in this natchless country.
Count Skormiodoff is from che Of
Russia's leading families of autocrats
and is an engineer in the employ of a
department that ranks with our de-
partment of the interior in this country.
He has immediate charge of an irri-
CATION program that is intended to
reclaim a large area of desert in
Turkestan in Central Asia, where he
says conditions are quite as suspicious
for land reclamation as in any. part of
the world The ultimate achievement
aimed at by Russia is the production of
sufficient cotton within its national
confines to preclude in time, the inn
portation of cotton from this country
and Egypt, which countries furnish by
far the major portion of cotton con-
sumed in Russia's textile centers at the
present time We found this Russian
highly interesting parsonage. He
told US of conditions in his country and
of the misapprehensions existing in
foreign minds of conditions in his
country. to which he is very loyal. He
marvelled at the wonderful intelligence
of the working classes of America, but
said that the upper classes in his coun-
try were quite as well educated as any
class in any civilized country, but that
unfortunately, a policy calculated to
maintain the masses of his people in
ignorance had been maintained for
many years.
He asked us many questions relating
to the construction and maintenance of
this project and asked particularly
about the plan of repayment of public
monies. He seemed very much in
terested IN the work of development,
and expressed surprise that Uncle Sam
would maintain a policy so unrelenting
that people would be forced from their
homestead selections. This, he said,
would not be Russian policy, where
autocracy, he thinks, allows of greater
pliabilitv in the treatment of honest
settlers.
While here Count Skormiadoff was
given every courtesy by Project Engi-
neer d. W. Cole, who furnished him
with a rig and driver who took him to
the various points of interest in the
valley.

Gambling, Adieu.

As the shades of midnight gather on
the 30th of September the curtain will
come down with bump on the gambling
fraternity of Nevada. No doubt many
will leave the state and many who
have followed the profession for years
will seek employment at remunerative
positions along other apd elegitimate
lines. 1t is well to note carefully the
law as contained in the statute books
and not be in ignorance as to that which
constitutes the "felony." Card games
of all kinds, the giving or taking of
premiums; this no doubt will place a
ban on horse racing for prizes, the
placing of exhibits at fairs for cash
premiums and the fireside games of
penny ante will of necessity be dispensed
with. When you meet a friend and
have little argument, do not remark
"I'll bet you fifty" for if you do the
goblins will surely get you coming or
going. Those of you who really must
play game can fall back on Jacks"

The state penitentiary is being over
hauled and enlarged to accommodate law
breakers, therefore, if you would eat

from the quiet or open game of betting.

LOOK OUT FOR
DISEASED DUCKS.

Friends of sportsmen who have a
tendency to spend the early fall in
pursuit of the festive duck should
take warning from the experience of
Utahans and refrain from accepting
any presents of waterfowl. Ducks in
Idaho, Utah and Montana are afflicted
with some dread disease that is kill
ing the fiocks off by tens of thousands.
Scientists are puzzled by the malady
that is decimating the game birds of
the west ssad it is heralded as a possi-
bility that the destruction of so many
birds that putrefying remains will sow
the seeds of some horrible visitation
among the human family. If the ducks
of the neighboring states are infected
it is not improbable that the birds of
California and Nevada are also liable
to the contagion. The best way to
avoid sickness is to refrain from eating
game birds which are polluted before
their death. There is no way of tell
ing for the eyes are bright and the
feathers glossy and healthy appearing.
One of the worst cases is reported
from Salt Lake, where boy brought
home brace of ducks. His mother
left them at the kitchen door. A flock
Of chickens came pecking ut the car
casses and in q few minutes thirtv-
two fowls were dead. Then d burro
belonging to the son of the family
came along nosing in the straw around
the chickens and he Quickly took the
count. The boy owner tried to save
his pet by dosing him with simple
remedies and within an hour the boy
was writhing in torture which re-
sembled the effects of ptomaine poi
soning. The mysterious disease is
sore puzzle to physicians and gun
clubs of the affected districts are be-
seeching the local authorities to send
out forces to gather the remains of
the birds and cremate them in a pyre
that will destroy the germs that other
wise may be scattered oyer the whole
country to become a menace to hu-
man and fowl life.

Thirty Tons to the Acre.

The following item of pert inent in
terest was handed US for publication,
showing the great results attainable in
sugar beet raising. In many sections
of the United States, where fewer
natural advantages exist, big returns
have been made, demonstrating to
every farmer in our county the great
possibilities for the future.
s'The land on the w. T. Newland
ranch, near this city, is showing this
week a remarkable harvest of sugar
beets, which are averaging thirty tons
to the acre. The beets are of fine
quality and the yield is quite unusual,
as an average of twenty tons to the
acre is considered good return. The
soil of this section appears to be
especially adapted to the cultivation Of
the beets which produce Z remunera-
tive profit to the growoys. - Hunting

tackled the job and made good. He
said it did not buck as hard as the
little grey. The prize for the best
riding was divided between Charley
Bailey and Jack Hogan. This con-
cluded the days sport ard we believe
that all who drove to the fiat on the
desert felt that the fair management
had given them the worth of their
money.
Prof. c. w. Creel, assistant in the
department of agronomy in the Nevada
University, which includes grain,
grasses, millets, sorghums, etc, was
at the fair with very instructive ex-
hibit. Prof. C. S. Knight had charge
of this department but was only able
to be here between trains on the clos
ing day of the fair. The exhibits were
the products of small plats at the ex-
pertinent farm at the university during
the years 1909 and 1910. The exhibit
is valuable one to farmers, as they
can see what crops have been success
ful in this climate and therefore be
saved expensive experiments them
selves.
The live stock exhibit from the uni
versity was well worth visit to the
fair. There was a fine showing of
Holstein cattle that won prizes at the
California State Fair at Sacramento
recently, as well as prize winning
sheep. The display of hogs would do
mans eyes good There was one
weighing 800 pounds. Hog raising is
question that should interest the peo-
pie of this county for it is destined to
become an important branch of agricul-
ture in this valley.

A LEAP INTO The DARK.

A young man of Chicago has sued
his wife for divorce because they quar-
relied over the kind Of meals she served
him.
He wanted chicken dinners every
day. He said he WAS willing TO put
up with cereals and coffee for break
fast and take his luncheon downtown.
but commended for chicken dinners In
the evening.
During the wife's testimony the fact
was brought out that the husband had
allowed his wife $3.50 week to keep
the house ana furnish the meals
Unreasonable?
Certainly. But this sort of thing.
strange as it may appear. has been
the cause OF many modern divorce.
The average young man knows
scarcely anything concerning the cost
of keeping a house. He falls In love
with pretty face or a pair of eyes
and proposes marriage because he
wants the girl.
1t is also true IN many cases that
the young woman knows little con.
corning household economy and per,
haps has had no experience In buying
or In preparing food.
And so when this sort OF twain wake
up after marriage to find that love In
cottage is not what romance has
pictured it TO be there is trouble.
Marriage calls for REIMBURSEMENT
And readjustment is irksome. 1t calls
for self sacrifice.
When the young husband finds that
the $3.50 per week he paid for board
is not sufficient to buy chicken din
ners for two his love grows cold
And when the young wife discovers
that her husbands income will NOT
support her as she has been accus-
toned to live she repents her mar
riage.
What is the cure?
The application of common sense TO
matters OF matrimony. The candidates
for marriage should take his bride To
be into his confidence as to his income
and discuss with her their plans for
making ends meet financially.
In almost every country except
America that is a substantial part or
the matrimonial program.
In all too many instances In this
country marriage is nothing more than
a leap in the dark.
Therefore the statistics show that
out of every twelve marriages there is
one application for divorce
One should not expect chicken din
ners on n bacon and liver Income.
Bread and cheese and kisses" is a
good menu. but 1t should be under
stood that the husband must needs
hustle for the bread and cheese.
