A simple story.
Mr.. Wallace's story is simple. and as
told by his friends shows that what he
has done in the line Of conservation of
health, others may do. Born on a farm
in Westmoreland County. Pa, in 1886
he was educated for the ministry in
the United Presbyterian Church, and
during the ten years from 1866 to 1876 he
preached in Illinois and Iowa. Tuber-

Early in the SOS he began writing on
farm topics, and finally became editor
of an agricultural paper. His work at

FUNERAL WAS VERY
LARGELY ATTENDED

The funeral of the late George X.
Savage, formerly of Winnemueca when
employed on the line of the South
ern Pacific road, but latterly on the
Tonopah and Goldfeld, when the ac-
cident occurred which ended his life,
took place Friday afternoon in Reno,
from the undertaking parlors.
There was a large representation of
the members of the Order of Railway
Conductors, to which organization
Savage was attached for several years
and which had the funeral in charge.
The burial was in Mountain View
cemetery.
Rev. Samuel Unsworth, rector of the
Episcopal church in Reno, spoke feel
ingly and commercially of the deceas
ed, as he stood by the side of the ele
giant casket, surrounded by beautiful
floral emblems of respect and remem-
brance.

NORTH OF FIFTN-NINE"

One who has not visited the frozen
North can scarcely imagine the mean
ing of temperature of seventy degrees
below zero, Fahrenheit, or even lower,
combined with a bitter wind which
blows this frigidity into ones very
bones, and which continues for days
at a time, while a feeble spark of
warmth and life in the form of man
struggles on through a desert of ice,
unsheltered, unhoused and only half
fed.
Here, in the land of the living, the
land of sunshine, of days and nights,
of trees and plants and flowers and
fruits, even during the winter months
we may experience a temperature of
zero, or on rare occasions Of twenty
below during the early hours of a raw
morning; but we have a house, with
its fires and comforts, warm meals.
clean, dry clothes and snug, cozy beds.
But up there on the bleak Arctic
plains, the very shelter which the ex-
plorer builds for the night is of lee
itself, unless good fortune enables him
to use a tent made of silk or of skins.
He dimes on "A fstful of frozen food.
You, too, would dine on a fistful of
frozen food, if you were he, and sleep
in a bag on the snow. And the rude
polar bear, who might strike out your
life with a stroke Of his paw, would
be the very least of your troubles or
dangers. Indeed, in the fartherest
north you would welcome him. for YOU
would wish to eat him, Just as
he would wish to eat you. Such is life

ing six specially good prospects), one
being five miles south of the original
TOWNSHIP, and the other seven miles
east thereof. In these strikes. the ores
are of identically the same general
character, showing that the area of the
rhyolite bikes which break through
lime and ~porphyry contacts is much
larger than was at first believed the
country would develop. Samples from
these last strikes are equally as rich as
samples from the original discoveries,
and have electrified everybody in this
city and the surrounding towns, as well
as having vastly increased the excite
ment of the miners in tn ecamp.
The chance for investors picking up
properties is going to be good, and in
INST instances very few failures are
anticipated, because a %prospector is
either going to have something or
nothing. Only along side the rhyolite
bikes do gold indications exist, all the
other country refusing to show indica-
lions of values. Prospecting of the dis
trict is proceeding therefore with
greater than any success heretofore
chronicled in a new district, and the
circumstances under which the ores oc-
cur, together with the ability of all
the prospects to ship paying grades
from the commencement, combine TO
make Jarbridge the ideal "poor
mans" camp. 1t being in a timber
reserve. parties coming in to engage in
business should communicate with the
forest service chief at Elko previously,
and secure a permit for erecting their
building and to cut timber therefor.
Later, after the snow departs, the
camp may be entered from the south,
via Elko.

PORTRAYING PEARY'S
EXPEDITION AT TRUCKER

Taking Alaskan snow scenes. with
timid women being pursued by fero-
cious wolves, heroic rescues by Iceland
frontiersmen and even depicting
Peary's discovery of the pole right
here in Nevada county is something
that even the most enthusiastic real
estate boomer has never had the hardi
hood to depict, says a Truekee cores
pandent of the Reno Gazette. But that
is just what is being lone here now.
A company of twenty-five people,
representing manufacturers of NOV
ing picture films, with branch head
quarters and studio in Los Angeles, ar
rived here yesterday in their private
car loaded doyn with frontier costumes
and paraphernolia, including eight
huskies or malmute dogs, half wolves
from their appearance, in charge of "a
Mr.. Smith, who formerly used them to
carry the United States mail in Alas
ka. The dogs are well trained and
work well together.
The people of the company come
well supplied with full paraphernalia
of sealskin boots, fur clothes, caps,
guns, hunting knives and snow shoes,
and also a sleigh which has seen SER
vice in the north.
To see the company starting out of
town to the woods arrayed in all their
frontier dress and armament with
the sleigh containing several people
and the dogs straining at their har-
ness, impatient to go, and the fur-clad
driver with his long whip, one would
imagine himself in the wilds of AL
aska. The company intends staying
here several days, as there are several
series of moving pictures to take.
Pursued by Wolves.
Yesterday they took an Alaskan
scene. Today one of the lady members
of the company, dressed in Alaskan
costume on snow shoes, was pursued
through the woods by the pack of dogs
representing wolves, which they closely
resemble. When almost exhausted and
the dogs close IN her heels, several
men with guns rushed on the scene

The woman was found dead at her

Collins says that Mrs. Peters re-

years ago while she believes she was
on her death bed. Collins declares she
gave him detailed account Of the
murders she and her brothers COM

II was brought out that many states
lad not had their equitable share OF
these projects. Senator Flint asked
who was responsible for this coldi-
ton and the witness admitted that
probably FORMER secretary Hitchcock
under whose administration most of
the existing projects were initiated
was responsible and not Director
Newell, of the Reclamation Service.
Mr.. Davis was at that time chief en-
gineer of the service.
Mr. Flint wanted to know if it was
not a fact that many projects had
been initiated without regard to their
feasibility but in order to give var
ious states their proportion of the
money they aad paid into the recla-
nation fund through the sale Of pub
lie lands.
Mr.. Ballinger was not able to give
a direct answer but in reply to At
torney Vertrees, he said he had not
been able to get the officials of the
Reclamation Service to express any
doubt as to the feasibility of any of
the projects.

Two New Dams Near Clifton.

Dell NJ. Potter has returned from a
ten days business trip throughout
Arizona. His trip was for the main
purpose OF meeting MIR. Hill of the
reclamation service, to get data for
the building of the two dams for ir-
rigation and power, which he hopes
to get under way very soOn.
The Roosevelt dam being of great
benefit, the experience of the eugin-
GERS, and the problems being en-
counrered there, icing in many in
stances the same that he will have in
his projects.
Mr.. Potter says: "The entire ella
Valley will have an abundance of
water, no matter how dry the season,
and many thousands of acres of new
land will be put under cultivation.

uectiOn, the coming week; the build
