FOR YOUNGSTERS
Scout Huff Has Gathered in Phe.
mons at That Price, and
Won't Raise.

ST. Louis. July 16.--In the course OF
recent conversation George Hun told
Bob Hedges. president of the ST. Louis
Browns. that he never paid more than
$1,000 for a young baseball player.
While scouting for the Boston Amer
leans and the Chicago Nationals HUFF;
has picked up such brilliant young
sters as iris Speaker. Eddie Reulbacla,
Carl Lundgren, Artie Holman and
other stars of the national game
Hedges says that HUFF is stin under
contract to scout for the Chicago
Cubs. Huff is the physical director OF
Illinois University, and spends the
summer months Searching the minor
leagues for promising talent. HUFF and
Sam Kennedy. OF Cleveland. and Tom
Mccarthy, of Cincinnati, are consid-
cred the cleverest scouts in baseball.
Kennedy worked for Connie Mack UP to
this year. He is credited with having
secured Harry krause. Eddie Collins.
Frank Baker and Jack Barr. the short.
stop. These four players blossomed
into stars last year, and boosted Ken
nedy stock as a scout to such an ex-
tent that Charlie Somers. of Cleveland
took him away from Connie Mack.
somers Is one OF the most liberal
club owners in the business when it
comes to spending money for young
players, and with the Cleveland owners
support Kennedy will doubtless land a
bunch OF desirable talent for the Ma
poleons.
Tommy Mccarthy Is credited With
having discovered nearly all the speedy
youngsters now with the CincinneIS
team. Mccarthy has been scouting for
Hermann for several years. Tommy
played with Charlie Comiskey's st.
Louis Browns twenty-five years ago,
and will be remembered as one of the
smartest players OF his day

THAT CELESTIAL
WANDERER

Folks who crawl out into the
cool air of the gray morning to see
the comet, and gaze with apprecia-
tion at the brightest object in the
eastern sky, may not be highly
pleased to learn that it is the
planet Venus. The comet has not
become specially conspicuous yet.
The morning star is worth getting
up to see, anyway.
The comet is to be found a little
north of east at o'clock and
little south of the eastern edge of
the great square OF Pegasus. This
constellation is easily discernible,
being made up of a huge square of
stars IF the second magnitude, the
same brightness as the pole star.
The comet will not be so bright as
and of the stars forming the square
but will have about the brightness
of q star Just visible to the naked
eye.

INSTALLING
ELECTRIC PLANT

This week elecricians are at
work installing large dynamo at
the p. Heitman ranch, three miles
below Genoa. They will also set
the centrifugal pumps on the Car
son river which the electric plant
is intended to operate.
Like on the Dressler ranch, Mr..
Heitman owns several hundred
acres of good land along the river
that cannot be irrigated by divert
ing the water by means of dams.
In order to reclaim this land, a
stream of water running from the
James canyon and used to irrigate
other portions of the ranch
has been put to a double purpose.
The stream is conveyed down the
steep mountain for several hund-
red feet by means of a pipe line.
At the power house the water is
forced through nozzel against a
Pelton wheel, developing in the
neighborhood of 100 horse power.
This power will run the dynamo
generating an equal amount Of
electrical current which will be
carried over wires to the pumping
plant on the Carson river, over a
half a mile distant. Here the
power will be utilized TO operate
the large pumps that will lift the
water eight or nine feet to the
land that IS to be irrigated.
The Inhalation of this plant has
called for the expenditure of a
large sum of money but when it
is remembered that no further ex-
pense, save the small cost of opera
tieng is required, and that its in
stallation will be the means of
$50 acres OF land producing crops
year after vear, } appears that
Mr.. Heitman has made a mighty
judicious investment.

MRS. SOPHIE HEITMAN
DIES VERY SUDDENLY

Like thunderbolt from q clear
sky, came the news Wednesday
afternoon of the death of Mrs.
Sophie Heitman which occurred at
her Gardnerville residence. The
deceased had not enjoyed strong
health for some years. Last week
she contracted a cold on her lungs
but did not consider it serious.
Monday she took Ito her bed and
still the members of the family did
not believe her condition serious.
Wednesday morning a doctor was
called and he found that she was
suffering with pnemonia and was
already in the shadow of death.
Her condition grew worse and soon
passed from all human aid.
Deceased was a native of Ned
denarerbergen, Germany, aged 30
years, | | months and three days.
She came to this Valley about q
years ago. She married Herman
Heitman shortly after arriving
here. Her husband preceded her
in death and was laid to rest on
the 9TH of last January.
The death of Mrs. Heitmann
brings doubly sad blow to the
family and the children are heart
broken over their loss. The SYM

WAS A SUCCESS

The entertainment given last
Friday evening under the manage

was a decided success from start to
finish, raising more than enough
funds necessary to erase the debt
standing against the athletic
society.
The musical recital by Miss
Herheiser was delivered in a clear
impressive voice and the beautiful
words of her admirable selection
found responsive cord within the
hearts of her hearers. Miss Her
heiser possesses more than ordinary
ability as an elocutionist.
The male quartet rendered sew
eral songs and were heartily en-
cored, their efforts being greatly
appreciated.
An instrumental solo by Jaunita
Frey, was beautifully executed
and clearly demonstrated that the
young lady has an excellent in
terpretation and the ability to ex-
ecute the most difficult classical
compositions.
