In Holland the nests OF storks are
generally on the summit OF tall post,
put up on purpose for them. on which
is fixed an old cart wheel. Says an
English writer: "A Dutch gentleman
Of my acquaintance has one such post
In his grounds within sight of his II.
brary window, but be improves on the
cart wheel by having an Iron frame
work for the reception of the nest
The first year 1t was put up. toward
the end of June, solitary young
stork used TO come daily and inspect
this framework. saw him there my.
self one day. standing IN the empty re-
ceptacle exactly like a would be bene-
diet inspecting an empty house. con-
the drains are all right The verdict
was apparently favorable, for next
season saw the nest occupied by the
newly welded pair. Their power OF
wing is very fine. and on hot days |
have watched them ascending spiral
circles. hardly moving their broad.
black wings. till they have looked no
bigger than flies After the young are
hatohed they appear to be suspicious
Of one another and unwilling to leave
the nest unguarded."
storks have no voice. The only
noise they make In "klappering" tsnap.

~ and loudly. Thus they greet one
another. generally by throwing back
the head until the upper mandIble
rests on the back. but occasionally

REPUBLICANS SPLIT WIDE OPEN

Senator LaFollette. in a late
issue of his magazine, charges in
spite of denials issued from
Beverly-that President Taft is
doing all that he can to defeat the
Republican insurgents, and is
directly taking part in state fights
involving the election of Republi-
can Senators and Congressman.
La Follette's also says: eve have
not complained that the President
and the Vice-President are taking
part in the campaign in Wisconsin
against progressive Replicans"
but we do protest against the dis
honesty. and the cowardice of such
dispatches from Beverly, which
stated, "that there is no desire on
his (Taft) part. or on the part of
anyone closely identified with the
Administration to read any person
out of he party. And that he
does not believe it to be the
province of the chief executive to
interfere In state fights" La
Follettes further says: ''Let the
truth be plainly stated. Let the
President stand in the open.
The evidence and the facts cited
certainly seem to support Senator
La Toilette in his protest that the
President is playing the political
game for the defeat of Insurgents,
and that the Republican party
seems. 70 be splitting open wider
every day.

PERFORMANCE AND PROMISES

President Taft's letter to the
chairman of the Republican Con-
gressional committee is perhaps as
good defence Of what the party
has done as the diverse opinions
Of the factions of his party will
permit. The letter, is an apology
for the past and promises reparation
for the futore by amending "the
best tariff law ever enacted" As
the Republican leaders in control
of the party are all standpatters,
and if Republican majority is
continued in the Congress about to
be elected, there will certainly be
a majority of the same standpat
faction large enough to control the
cause that will select a speaker
and committees; tits unlikely that
the Presidents promise of partial
tariff revision will be carried out.
To open up the tariff issue again
on the eve Of a national election
would .accentuate the fractional diff
erences of a Republican party and
bring certain defeat. Real tariff
reform is only possible when the
Democrats are entrusted with
power. ...-
President Taft knows that the
trend is 80 strongly against Re.
publican success that in sheer per-
plexity he has tried to make the
best Of what has been done, and
promises what il almost impossi-
BILE Of accomplishment. The Re-
publican cohorts are in extreme
jeporady,. and the President has
ordered a. last charge to try and
save the day.

CARSON VALLEY
BOY MURDERED

APeter An derson a Eson of P.
Anderson of this valley was foully
murdered in Mexico short time
ago and his body thrown down a
shaft according to a letter received
here by his relatives some weeks
ago. The Mexican authorities
believe that he was murdered and
then robbed.
Pete Anderson was born anu
raised in Carson Valley and was
known to every resident in this
section. About five years ago he
went to California and followed
the pursuit of a teamster in the
valleys of that state. About a
year ago his relatives received a
letter from him and he was over
the Mexican border line working
as foreman of a railroad con-
struction crew That was the
last word that was ever heard from
him. Months went by and the
rleaties' letters remained un-
answered. Fearing that some
thing had happened his rerelatives
got into communication with the
authorities, and a short time ago
they received the authentic news
Of his death.-Gardnerville Record.
