Professor Fransden, Professor of
Botany of the University of Nevada,
arrived in Lovelock last Monday for
the purpose of viewing the bones of
some early day animal unearthed last

did not think they dated back beyond
the present age.
At the University careful study
will be made of the remains and COM
parisons made with other prehistori-
cal skeletons and. an effort made to
properly place them.
The conclusion reached will be
published in the TRIBUNE.

FORMER ssTRlBLlNE'' EDITORS PAY THEN
RESPECTS TO DEPARTED COLLEAGUE
BY JULIUS R. HUNTER
Former Editor of Lovelock Tribune

SIN the midst of life we are in
death. ."This Biblical truth was strik-
ingly illustrated in our community
last Friday evening by the sudden
death from heart failure, of Herman
C. Sommers. Thirty minutes before
he lay dead at his home, he had been
talking with friends and associates
upon the main street of the town in
which he was loved and respected by
all. Perhaps it may not be abso-
lutely true that he ..Was a Man
without an Enemy for even he who
was deemed the perfect Mani had
enemies; yet it can be truthfully
said that in ali his relations of life
Herman Sommers was ''square''
and faithful to his duties as a man.
As a young man. ''riding in the
ranges" of the great Carson Sink; at
his work in the railroad shops at old
Wadsworth; in positions of trust as
postmaster of Lovelock and in bus-
mess houses of this town, he was
congenial co-worker, a considerate
employer and ever faithful to the
trusts in him reposed. The large at
tendance at the funeral services held
: Monday afternoon and the great
number of floral tributes in evidence
there were the hearty and sincere
expressions from bereaved friends
and societies associated with the
deceased. He has been taken from
these companions and associations.
We shall see his face no more upon
this earth, but his deeds of kindness
and his sterling qualities as man
will still live as perpetual monu-
ment to his memory. Our sympa-
thies 60 out to the bereaved family
in this their time of sorrow. The one
who was the mainstay and dear
companion of their lives has been
taken away, and as the years may
come and 60 they will miss him from
day to day; but let the blessed hope
of that immortal life, with all the
imperfections of mortality gone land
which hope is one of the vital ten
ants of the Masonic Order, OF which
he was faithful member); let this
hope bear them up to live on and en-
dure through life, until that same
summons shall call them to happy
reunion.

STATE engineer Will HOLD WATER
HEARING next SATURDAY

Next Saturday Emmett d. Boyle.
State Engineer of Nevada will be in
Lovelock to preside at hearing
over the requests for new point Of
diversion in the Humboldt River by
the South West Ditch Company and
the Union Canal Company and the
protests that have been made against
granting such permit by other water
users in the Lovelock valley.
As is well known to all the readers
of the TRIBUNE the two irrigation
companies mentioned above applied
several month ago to the state engin-
eer, for a permit to change the point
of diversion of their respective days
in the Humboldt river, the two com
panies agreeing to unite and form one
cooperative company, with the
new dam site located at point in
the Sc IA of Sec. SO Up. aS, or in
palmer language about two miles
above the dam of the Old Chan
mel Ditch Company at the. Pitt
Flour Mill. The two companies
which comprises practically ever far
mer in the lower valley based their
claims on the grounds that the dam
sites formely used were hopelessly
ruined, and that the most available
site for the location of new dam
site was at the point mentioned. A
notice stating the terms of the appli-
cation was published in the TRlBNuE
and as was expected great many
protests against the permit has been
held by other irrigation companies
notably the Irish American Com.
.pany, the Old Channel Ditch Com
pany and the S. R. Young Ditch
Company, and it is to hear these
protests that the state engineer will
hold meeting for those interested
in Lovelock next Saturday.
The claim is made by those pro-
testing against the permit that the
proposed change is not based on
sincere motives, in other words that
the dam of the South west Ditch
Company could easily. be repaired.
In fact that some of tine stockholders
|of the later company do not favor
the move, and it is proposed by
them to repair the dam which could
be done at an expenditure of not
,ver $500 90. Among the stock
holders who propose to repair. the
dam are A. Feliz, Mrs. O'Neal, John
Christensen, w. c. Pitt and John G..
Taylor. 1t is said that the only
damage done the dam in the recent
high floods was the dislodging of a
few rocks Oh the top of the dam, and
the washing out af a narrow channel
at one side, aud that this could be
repaired by eight 4 horse scrappers in
5 days. Another protest filed is
that the proposed dam would back
the water up. under the power wheel
at the Young ranch, and work an in
Jury.
l. The protests and claims of the pet.
itioners will all be heard before the
state engineer, and on his decision
will rest the outcome of whether or
not there will be new dam con
structed in the river.
The lower valley farmers are united
in their stand for an efficient dam
site, while those protesting are just
as firmly united against the proposed
new dam, intimating that they will
not be satisfied by the judgement of
the State Engineer should it be
against them.

CONCENTRATED WEALTH

Thousands are today enjoying
their fortunes of unearned wealth.
This means that many-the pro-
ducers of this wealth-are robbed
of what rightly should be theirs.
The result is that today about
eighty per cent of the wealth en-
gagged in the industrial operations
of the country is owned by trusts.
The trusts and moneyed interests
corrupt the courts, influence legis.
lation, and control the industrial
activities Of the country. The
lords of finance can promote an in.
dustrial boom and bring on bust.
ness depression, limit the outputs
of mines and Of manufactured pro.
ducts, withhold from the markets
the necessities Of life, and fix the
price for both the seller and the
buyer-whatever may be for their
advantage.
OF late years Congress and State
Legislatures have endeavored to
curb the trust power, but in spite
Of all that has been done the trust
power has steadily grown, and ito
tyranny was never realized rs at

DEATH OF YOUNG MAN
Nr. Grover Batter Passes AWAY After
Short Illness

\ death surrounded by peculiarly
sad circumstances occurred on Satur-
day night at the home of the young
mans father. corner Duke of Glou-
cester and Market streets, where
John Grover Batter, aged % years,
died after a short illness.
Death was due To tuberculosis,
of which the young man had been
a sufferer since early spring. Mr..
Batter, who held a good position
with an electrical company in Penn
sylvania, contracted a heavy cold.
which resulted in an acute attack
of bronchitis, and finally developed

of his illness, came home to die.
The deceased was a young man of
sterling qualities, and was esteemed
by all who knew him. and was ad-
mired for his exemplary life and
character. His death, occurring so
soon after he had attained man
hood, and when a promising career
was before him, is peculiarly sad
and has cast a deep gloom over his
many young friends. Besides his
father and step-mother. the deceased
IS survived by a sister and two broth
ers.
The funeral will take place tomor-
row morning at 10 80 o'clock from st.
Mary's Church.
