THE PASSING OF THE HORSE.

The automobile certainly has put the
horse on the hummer, hasn't it? Should
say. 1 never really realized 1t until
was talking with ]. A. Casey, a friend
of mine, who farms little and raises
little stock and such like. Well. Mr..
Casey says he thought the matter over
and concluded that he had too many
horses so he decided to sell a bunch
of five 2-year-olds- Owing to the bumps
the autos have given the horse BUSH
ness,the best Mr. Casey was able to do
was to get 81 300 for those five 2-year-
old colts. Now, let mo ask you, isn't
that dirty shame? It is. It most
certainly is, Aw. Curse these gaso-
line Wagons, anyhow.

ports to make personal examination of
the field About this time, early in
December, the heavy SHOWS of the
present winter began falling, covering
the surface and making it very diff
cult to do any prospecting. However,
confidence was fully established in the
minds of those on the ground and tents
rapidly sprung up and the town of
Sulphur was duly laid out, with the
necessary comforts of the community.
Two oil companies were incorporated
and arrangements made for erecting
standard drilling rigs as soon as the
weather would permit. To take advan-
tage of the situation the well contract
or resigned and assisted in incorporat-
ing one company among Reno people.
In the meantime the well remained idle
for several weeks, when the railroad
company decided to use the water for
its engines, having erected large tank
at the well.
Last Sunday, humping began. To the
surprise and satisfaction of the Sui
phur people the pump began discharg-
ing large quantities of light gravity
oil with the water. This renewed the
dormant excitement of the camp, when
kilograms were sent out thick and fast
announcing the good news. A repre-
sentative of the Silver State went out
to see and verify the rumors that had
come in since the first discovery of par
affin Nature seemed to smile on the
undertaking for warm southwind set

melted, enabling one to make a

THE SUCKER wins
GAMBLERS LOSE

Yesterday morning, at about
o cock, town time, when Landlord LIP
man went on duty at the Lafayette, he
found that none of the morning calls
had been made. Knowing that many of
the guests were intending to leave by
the mornings train, he hunted up the
night clerk, young man named Walt
ers, and found him busily engaged in
poker game with titled gentleman
representing SanFrancisco hat house,
a "lady' from the "jungles'' down
near the flooded district, and an
unctuous alleged prospector or mining
magnate named Howard.
The clerk was instructed to go over
to the Shone house annex and call the
guests, and he Immediately started on
the errand, since which tine he has not
been seen..
A few moments after Mr.. Lipman
had occasion to change a two-bit piece
when he ascertained, to his intense
that all the cash contained In
the several registers was dime and
two nickels, evidently overlooked.
A warrant was at once sworn out for
Walters arrest, but thus far he has
succeeded in eluding the officers.
( The travelling man and his "mas-
eot'' left town ON an early morning
train yesterday, presumably carrying
away the winnings, while Howard was
summarily ordered from the hotel

MILLER & LUX SUFFER
NO STOCK LOSSES

John Gilcrist, superintendent Of the
Miller Lux ranches. arrived from
the north yesterday morning.
Mr.. Gilcrist states that stockmer
feel great relief over the change
In the weather, and that the reports
of losses have been greatly exaggera,-
ed. Yesterday he received a dispatc'.
from Burns, Oregon, stating that
stock on the company's ranches In
that vicinity had weathered the win
in good shape, with no losses. and that
they were in goou condition.
That Miller & Lux did not suffer
enormous losses is no doubt due to Mr..
Gilerist's foresight, backed up by the
efhcient work of a competent staff of
employees. Recognizing the fact, some
weeks ago, that a hay famine was i'm
minent, several thousand head of stock
was rounded up and shipped to Cali
fornia points where feed was plentl-
full.

The Local Situation.

From noon yesterday constant
throng of people have passed down
Bridge street to the river. evidently
fascinated by the sight of the mighty
volume of water that is pouring down.
From 6 O'Clock last evening until
this morning il Is estimated that the
stream rose fully two feet. Since the
last named hour the water has re-
mained practically stationary, and
from the reports from up the river it
is believed the worst has passed for
the present.
Considerable anxiety has been felt
for the county bridge, and all night
commissioner McDeid was watching
the structure and at daylight this
mornin~ started a force of men AT
work reinforcing the approaches with
timbers and dirt. It is now thought
the bridge will he saved.
Yesterday afternoon Charlie Carey
and family moved from their residence
on the flat, as did also several people
living in tents. Haviland a. Hoskins
have driven their stock from the cor
rails on the river side of their stables
owing to- the fact that they were GOV.
cred with several feet of water.
The water has come up to the Winnie
mueca hotel, anG while the main struc
ture is in no danger. several of TIM
outbuildings on the river side of tho
hotel may be washed away.
A residence on the flat near the
brewery, belonging to Chris Choatt
was moved out of position by tn,
flood and considerably damaged.

had passed through four distinct
