Pine NUT CROP VERY
HEAVY This SEASON

\, has been several years since the
ia mt crop was as heavy as this sea.
and the Washoe Indians are max.
80 the best of their good fortune. The
h,,,ks have torsaken their favorIte
-.mbling game, while the mahallas fail
:. show ND on wash morning. The ma
:, norton of the tribe is harvesting
.;,e nuts. They will have mighty lit
IL use for -four during the winter be-
.ause the nuts furnish an inexpensive
Institute for the staff of life.
Autedating the memory of the Oldest
;0babitant, the Indians have forecasted
me approaching winter by natures en-
aovment of pine nuts. A plentituie
~ nuts indicates a hard winter, while
: light crop foretells a mild winter.
Last winter the forecast failed, and
how it will work out the winter com
ing is a problem for much speculation.

State of Nevada, County of Washoe-ss.
George D. Kilborn, being first duly sworn, deposes and says;
That he has read a special article dated Tonopah, Oct. 4 and pub
nshed in the Reno Evening Gazette of said date in which Senator
George !. Nixon is quoted in a speech alleged to have been made 1t To
nopah o N Oct. 3, to the effect, substantially, that the opposition of the
Nevada State Journal to the election of Senator Nixon to congress RAJ
based O Senator Nixon's refusal to support this afiant to office OF
United States Senator at the last general election.
Afant declares that said statement is absolutely false and un
founded.
Anant further declares that he never at any time or place or % any
extent discussed politics with Senator Nixon.
That he has had but two conversations with Senator Nixon, and
that at neither of these conversations wa politics discussed or mat
tesp political referred to
Anant absolutely and unquahfedly denies that he stated to Senator
Nixon that he wanted to be a candidate or United state enator
, Or any other office.
That not only has amant nt discussed politics with Senator Nixon,
but that within three days of atlantis arrival in the city of Reno, a
, prominent in this city and state came to afant and urged upon
ed States Senator. That at that time amant firmly and absolutely re-
fusde to consider the proposal, and that affant believes that his state
ment to that effect will be verified by the affidavit of the person re-
, ferred to.

for the reason that the condition of atlantis health and physical o
sitution wal as follows:
|. That before coming to Reno aHant had been for a long period seri-
ouly i'll with miners consumption contracted from his occupation in
the mines IF Colorado. That his condition became 10 serious at n

; physicians that his recovery was impossible. That he as told by his
; physicians that he would have 20 live in Colorado or a arid climate,
= refrain from lengthy conversations and public gatherings, and he was
: also told by his physicians that it would mea certain death to him If
: he lived IN the Atlantic coast, and knowing these conditions and re-
; strictions to be imperative, he absolutely refused to enter political
: life.

ARE DRIFTING ON ORE AT
WONDER JACKPOT WORKINGS

At the Jack Pot the crosscut to cus
the big ledge is making steady head
way. At the 200-foot level a drift is
being run on ore. In the meantime the
re~timbering of the shaft continues, and
when it is finished another crosscut will
probably be run to tap the big ledge
at the 300-foot level. 1t is understood
that a working shaft is a part of the
plans of the management, and the one
now being used to work through will be
utilized as an air shaft.-Wonder News.

SELLS HIS
EXCHANGE SEAT

New York, August 19.-James A. Pat
ten, the Chicago grain and cotton oper-
ator, disdaining to talk of financial con-
ditions, said today that he was chiefly in
terested IN university matters in Chicago,
and that the work was taking up most of
his time. Mr. Patten was a passenger
on the steamer Adriatic today from Eu-
rope. He confirmed the wireless report
that he had sold his seat on the stock
exchange.
why, there is not anything to make
fuss about In regard to the SALE"
said Mr.. Patten. II simply gave word
before leaving this country that if the
bid for the seat should go to $4,000 the
seat should be sold. Well, when the bid
reached that amount the seat was sold
can't do a thing without it being pub
lished in the newspapers"
Mr.. Patten did not know for a time that
he had been marked as victim for card
sharpers on the trip over. A gang of
half dozen of them boarded the Adriatic
to get Mr.. Patten into a game and pluck
him.
They supposed that because Mr.. Patten
is a board of trade member he was an
all around sport, and did not know that
he is a deacon in the church.
For the first three days out for Liver
pol the card sharks hung around Mr.
Patten like leeches.

Well Known Aldbdnidns
In BIRMINGHAM Yesterday
By WALTER HARPER.

II agree with The Age-Herald in its
contention for liberal support for the
common schools of Alabama and the
present administration has done all it
could along this line under the existing
laws and powers of the executive and
law-making forces of the state" said
Gov. B. B. Conner, who was in Birming-
ham yesterday.
1.-The large appropriations that were
made to the university, the polytechnic
Institute at Auburn and the other higher
Institutions of learning by the last leg
islature were temporary In their nature,
while the more than $350,000 which was
appropriated to the common schools of
the state was an annual appropriation
covering the period of the present ad-
nninistration.
! THE increased taxes OF the state has
also materially increased the annual sup
/, port of the common schools.
II am heartily in favor of giving the
! schools and colleges of the state all the
support that the state can afford. |
would like to see all departments and
bra inches of the state school system get

Education in the state. The university
needs more money than 1t has already
received 1t had none from the state in
a long time for extension purposes and
really needs more than 1t is getting. Au-
-burn needs more. Montevallo needs more

ATLANTA BOTHERED
BY GARBAGE PROBLEM

e. L. Penruddocke. the local engineer
who recently offered to construct gar
bage crematory or destroyer In this city,
was called over the telephone by the
Superintendent Of the health department of
Atlanta for assistance in solving At
lanta's garbage problem.
He was requested to give Atlanta the
information recently made Birmingham
and he will probably visit Atlanta and
outline plan of relief for that city. Mr..
Penruddocke said last night that the most
important cities were coming to realize
that the destruction of refuse was the
really permanent solution of the prob
lem. He has been busy of late erecting
destroyer in Montgomery and planning
for one in Birmingham and other cities.

PTOMAINE POISON AS
RESULT OF ICE CREAM

Mrs. W. c. Rouchelle of 4o1 Cotton
avenue, who came very near death az
the result of ptomaine poison. caused
by eating ice cream purchased from
street wagon, was much improved last
night and it Is believed that she Will
recover.
The health department investigated
the incident. but found that the Ice
cream vender who sold the cream mad
already cleaned out his cart. wafer
Burson of the sanitary department,
after investigation, stated that the
dainties were apparently packed in a
sanitary manner, and the danger was
no greater than from any other Ice
cream. However, he stated, that In
many cities peddling ice cream Is not
allowed on the streets, and ne expects
70 look into the matter and make a
recommendation to the health depart
ment next summer.

tional system personally. They would
then better appreciate the value of the
system"
II was very much surprised at a re-
cent attacks on The Age-Herald for its
alleged opposition to the recent appro-
priations TO the university and other high
err educational institutions" said ]. R.
Rosson. editor of the Cullman Demo-
crat who was In Birmingham yester-
day.
II am a very careful reader of The
Age-Herald and have always considered
its educational policy as sound. I think
its fight for the common schools of the
state Is more than commendable. No
one objects to or opposes the approprla-
ton of anv amount of money to the uni
versity. 1t needs all the money it can
get But no thinking man would favor
the taking of money from the common
schools to build up an institution that
only very small percentage of the boys
and girls of the state can ever attend
IF the common schools of the state
are not built up to a high standard of
efficiency the university and other COL
feed. You must build up the country
school if the university expects to draw
pupils from this state.
Hundreds of boys and girls are turned
from the university because they are not
prepared to enter. They go as far as the
common school will carry them, they
are not able to enter the higher insti-
tuition and they go to work missing the
finished education that they should have.
Il heartily indorse The Age-Heralds
fight for better support for all the schools
of the state from the university down
to the humblest common school in the
mountains"

By WALTER HARPER.

Hardly ten men out of every 100 are
Following the profession or trade on

hood.
The embryo policeman may be horse

or other circumstances usually mark the
course that the individual pursues.
Some men drift through life seeking
