election of a congressman: so that
in fact the vote of one citizen may
elect the president. Hence the i'm
portance of every democrat voting,
ard seeing that his neighbors do
likewise; for, although it is unlikely
that me vote may elect the next
president it is quite probable that
a very few votes may elect a con-
gress man in some district and
possibly decide the presidential
election.
If the election of president
should be thrown into the house in
1912 by a deadlock in the electoral
college the vote of Nevada will
count as much as the vote of
New York and its vote might
de ide the presidency. The demo-
crazy of Nevada should see to it
that Charles S. Sprague is sent to
congress to cast that vote.

Low WATER At WASHOE LAKE

The effects of the unusual dry
season in this section of Nevada is
shown at Wa, hoe Lake. The lake
at the present time is lower by
several feet than in many wears.
Hunters who have been tramping
the ponds and sloughs for the past
years report less water in tch tules
than every before in their
memory. Ponds that always
furnished plenty of food for the
the feathered tribe arc practically
dry which has also caused the
destruction of a large number Of
fish. Unless There is a storm soon
there will be further loss Of the
fish Of the lake.
At Little Washoe where there
has always been a good body of
water the lake is almost dry. 1t
is possible for the hunter TO wade
this pond. The outlet leading
down Pleasant Valley is as dry as q
bone. Usually before this time OF
the season there is a bountiful rain
which raises the waters of the lake
and furnishes feed and water for
the fish and game birds.
