TALK NOT OF AGE.

Talk not Of age; the waning years
Leave one more wise as they depart
and with them mingle smiles and
tears,
If one but young remains at heart.
The seasons come, the seasons go,
But with revolving days return,
Till Winters evanescent snow
Melts IN the laughing, leaping burn.
And when the cuckoo calls again,
The sap of April floods ones veins;
And as he flies from glen to glen,
Rejoicing in Springs sunlit rains,
feel as young as even he,
Seeking him near, afar, above,
Echoug his name, in playful glee
OF faithless undomestic love.
Nor when deep Summer silence rests
On windless thicket, sheltered lawn,
From thoughtful hearts and pious
breasts
Is Natures sympathy Withdrawn.
The faithful cushat family heard
Repeats the simple note of home,
Teaching the lesson, wisest bird,
How blest are those not prone to
roam

TWO DAMS MUST Be BUILT

Abandoning their original idea
of irrigatng section of this state
through the damming of the
Truckee river, the board of army
engineers who are making topo
graphical in spections in order to
make a report on the matter to
congress have decided that both
the Carson and the Truckee rivers
willhave to be damned to irrigate
the areas as outlined in the pro-
jected plan.
1t is expected that the Truckee
river will furnish water enough to
irrigate the district including
Fernley and Wadsworth, while the
Carson will accommodate Fallon and
that district. According to esti.
mate, 100000 acre feet of water
willibe spread over the surrounding
country by the residue impounded
by the two dams.
The dam will be constructed Is
miles west of Fallon while site of
the construction in the Truckee has
not yet been fixed. The work will
cost between $500, 900 and So, 1OO,-

SWALLOWED THE PILL

1t is certainly amusing to note
how the republican party of Ne
vada take program from More
house and Springmeyer.
A few months ago Morehouse
was derided and ignored by the
republicans. When his name was
mentioned some one would ask
WHO is Morehouse?"
A few months ago he was billed
to speak here and there wasn't a
corporaPs guard to hear him and
his talk didn't come off.
He announced his political pro-
gram in Goldfielo early in the
spring before the snow had melted
on the slope of Mazuma mountain.
1t merely raised laugh and the
game went on. Then Morehouse
began to preach Rooseveltism and
insurgency from the housetops.
The republican leaders would
have none of it.
The primaries opened and More
house came out and flung his
defiance in the teeth of the machine.
They had arranged to nominate
Massey for governor and Brown
for attorney general.
Morehouse got busy and put
Oddie and Springmeyrer into the
fight and the machine laughed.
But the voters took kindly to
Warehouses; program and the
first thing you knew the machine
woke up and realized what they
were up against.
Now the convention is here and
all last night they were wrestling
with the proposition as to what
platform would be adopted.
They said that if it was anti
railroad people would say they
would, be stealing democratic
thunder and it would not do.
But Morehouse said he had a
platform and he got the leaders
together and read it.
mot on your life," said the
machine. r'
you program with me- said
Harry. '. J "'..
Well, the machine came into
the Morehouse camp and swallowe l
the platform and took program.
He crammed it right down the
throat of the machine and here
ended the first chapter. Carson
Appeal.
