George Allen Leavitt is Called By Death

George Allen Leavitt, one Of the
best known young men Of this sec
ton of Nevada, died in San Fran
cisco yesterday, where he has been
under treatment in one of the hos
pitfalls.
The death of George Leavitt is
a matter of general regret through
out this section. He was thirty-two o
years of age and was born in Yer
ington. He became very we'll known
with the young men of the state
as a student at the university, where
he graduated in 1900, being a mem
Der OF the T. H. F. O. society. AT
ter leaving school he took up school
teaching, having been principal of
the Verdi, Wadsworth and Gold
Hill public schools. Three years
ago he left the schools and took up
merchandising at Schurz, where he

has been making success of the
enterprise in every way.
Mr.. Leavitt married Miss Ida Ro-
bert of this city in 1901 and by SO
doing became unusually we'll ac-
quainted with many Carson people.
His fine education and strict bust
ness sense made friends in every
walk of life and his death while in
the prime OF manhood, is a matter
OF deep regret by everyone who knew
him or his family The sympathy
of this community will be extended
to the bereaved widow and the men,
bers of his family. A mother and
five brothers are left to mourn with
his widow
The remains will arrive in this city
tomorrow while the funeral will take
place Sunday afternoon from the res
idence of Andrew Robert Interment

THE PARTY DEBATE
HEAVILY ATTENDED
Belford--Summerfield Argument was
Satisfactory to Both Sides

Two car loads of debate fans de-
parted for Reno last evening to lis
ten to the political debate between
Sam Belford and the Democratic
side, and Sardis Summerfeld for the
Republicans. The Majestic Theater
was crowded to its capacity and the
debate was we'll worth the trip
Both men are powerful speakers
They each have way that is CON
vincing and to listen to the decision
on the streets OF Carson to-day both
parties are confident that their
champion carried away the persim-
mon The people of this section
realize that Mr. Summerfield is a
very convincing talker and those
who nave had the pleasure of listen
ing to Mr. Belford admit that he is

Will Hold
Big Meeting

Tomorrow evening at the Opera
House the Democratic Legislative
ticket is to tell the voters of this
county what they expect to do when
they reach the Legislative halls. This
will be one of the final guns fired in
the intere sting campaign and the
Democrats will surely entertain the
public
The star event of the evening will
be the address given by Hon. Sam
Belford. Mr.. Belford who has been
addressing the voters throughout
the state, is conceded to be one of
the best orators of either party.
His convincing argument used in
Reno last evening will give the peo-
pie some idea of the forcible manner
in which he can handle the truth
and also the party lines.
AS there is no restraining order
in his talk tomorrow evening the
public can certainly look for some
thing refreshing

one Of the finest orators in Nevada.
As Mr.. Summerheld had the open
ing and closing of the debate he oc-
cupied most of the time. While Mr..
Belford was in action he poured in
such broadside of shot that it re-
quired lot of time and clever ar
gument on the part of Mr.. Sum-
merfield to make an impression on
the Democratic side of the question.
Considering the limited tine of the
speakers and the amount of terri
tory they took in the meeting was
a decided success Such debates
would have been appreciated by the
voters earlier in the game as both
parties have convincing takers who
can enlighten the people on both
state and national issues.

ny places in southern California
With the prices that are assured far
mers in this section there is no ap-
parent reason why this class Of farm
development would not pay hand
somely. The lands here are very
easily cleared, as there is nothing
heavier than sagebrush to remove
and the first year of blowing gives
crop.
81 am convinced that by little eff
fort on the part of the citizens of
this valley that a great deal of good
could be done All your city needs
is the development OF this neglected
resource. From what | have observ-
ed there should be at least one hun
dred families living where the ground
is idle at present.
AT the present time | am not of
fering any .relief in the matter. My
views are those entertained by ma
ny who have looked over the situa-
ton. Like others I am convinced
that it is possible to build a good
future of this county and city and
with others am confident that it will
have to come about from an agri-
cultural point of vantage.
1T is mighty good thing to have
mines and timber industries about
city or section, but both such in
dustries eventually die natural
death and cannot be revived, while
farms are true assets of any COM
munity. 0 hope to take this matter
up further in the future and may be
in a position to offer some sugges-
tions along the lines of agricultural
development
