called on Mr.. Ellison last evening and
obtained the following facts concern.
ing the situation:
Last spring the Ellison Ranching
company, of which Jesse knight, Of
Provo, Utah, and myself are the prin-
cipal owners, purchased the Hardin
ranches, comprising in the aggregate
25,5oo acres, practically all Of the
work horses, and portion of the mules
and cattle,' said Mr.. Ellison. ''On
the first of May we were given posses

! will take over the Home ranch. Dur
ing the next two years we shall build
a number of reservoirs for the purpose
of storing the waters that at present
run to waste in the spring of the
year. When these are completed. we
will be in a position to supply sufficient
water to irigate our own land as well
as considerable acreage of adjacent
lands. We shall then subdivide the
Buffalo and Home ranches into small
tracts and sell the same to whoever
may wish to buy, irrespective Of creed
or nationality.
"Mr. Knight and myself are also
the principal owenrs Of the Knight
Sugar Company, Limited, which con-
Germ some years ago purchased 3OO,-
600 acres of land in the vicinity Of
Alberta. By employing the
same methods we intend to use here,
we have built up prosperous commu-
nifty, engaged in diversified farming
and stock-raising, and have disposed Of
more than half of our original pur-
chase.
My visit to the Buffalo ranch at
the present time is for the purpose Of
starting haying operations, for which
purpose we shipped in seven new now
ers, which will leave for the ranch to-
morrow morning. Several loads of sup
plies, purchased here from E. Reinhart

ANOTHER CANDI,
DATE FOR SENATE

To the editors of the newspapers. and
periodicals of Nevada:
Numerous aspirants for the office of
senator of the United States from Ne
vada have recently announced them
selves respectively as candidates there
for upon their platform of political
principles, illuminated by torch-light
declarations of their loyalty to the
fundamental principles, ethical, politi-
cal and financial on which are based
the Declaration of Colonial Independ-
enee, the Constitution of the United
States and the Magma Charta obtained
by the English barons from King John
in 1915, subsequently granted to the
people of England by Henry the III,
and confirmed by Edward the I, and
finally nipped by the Pilgrims in 1922
concealed in the neither petticoat of
one of the Pilgrim matrons, transport
ed to and planted under Plymouth
Rock by the Mayflower, where it has

My Platform.

3. ! am opposed to public exhibit

Weston, the walking wonder of
all ages, concluded his transconti-
mental walk from Los Angeles to-
day, when he shook hands with
Mayor w. J. Gaynor on the steps
OF the city hall, shortly after A
o'clock today.
He was 16 days ahead of the
schedule he made before starting.
He has accomplished his hearts

He walked every day of the
week save Sundays, which he
spent in hotels or in lecturing in
whatever town or city he happen
ed to spend the day.
Weston was met at Highbridge

automobiles and pedestrians. Be-

The Record

The wonderful growth of this
business has taken place within a
period Of little more than twenty
three years.
Everyone interested in pianos will
ask the question: How could a
business of such tremendous magni-
ture be built in so short a time?"
The answer is easily made. From
the very beginning it has been the
foundation principle of the Eilers
stores to give to every piano buyer
more for the money than anyone
else could.
1t is our aim to sell the highest
grade pianos, whether grand or up
right styles, at the price regularly
paid for medium grade piano, and
to sell medium grade pianos for the
money usually spent for poor pi-
ano. Poor pianos we will not sell
under any circumstances.
Every instrument We sell Is back
ed by our binding guarantee, and
We cannot guarantee what we know
is poor.
Every piano we sell we aim to
make the means of creating new
customers for us.
If the Eilers Piano Stores have
grown to be the greatest in Ameri-
ca, 1t is because their methods are
right. They have met the needs of
every patron, giving the best of
service for the smallest amount of

ANOTHER
SAFE IS
CRACKED

The same gang of burglars who
have been breaking into Tacoma
business houses and more recently
the Fidelity Bank building, forced
their way into the office of the
West Coast Wagon company some
time early yesterday morning, and
wrecked the safe.
z Smashing a pane Of glass the
thieves entered the office from the
rear and drilled the combination
OF the safe. Swinging the heavy
doors open they removed all the
books and papers and went to
work on the strong box. They
gave 1t up as bad job. Officers
of the company say the box con-
tained over 500, and that it had
been pried out of place about am
inch. The burglars left without
securing anything I value.

their raids, appealed to the gov
eminent for troops to hunt them
down. Infantry and cavalry were
rushed to the scene of operations
and a persistent chase began in
earnest.
Now Chas. May put forth all his
efforts to elude capture. His dash
and energy and daring were DOM
onstrated afresh day by day. Once,
after the chase had lasted many
weeks, the troops encircled him
and felt sure of his seizure; but
May obtained the uniform of a
gendarme and walked boldly
through the military lines.
A few weeks lates May was
drinking In a little village inn
when two soldiers rode up, dis
mounted, and entered the same
bar. May dashed out of the win
dow, quickly jumped upon one of
the troopers horses and rode
away.
But Nemesis overlook him at
last and he was caught, tried and
sentenced to eight years penal
servitude. Chas. May disappear
ed into the oblivion of the penal
settlement.
Nearly twenty years later,
clever writer named Chas. May
began to attract attention by hts
literary works and became a cele-
brity in Berlin's and Dresden's
cultured circles. His work was
distinguished by its delicate touch
and forceful power. He was rich
and generous. He inhabited a
luurious house at Dresden and
kept an elegant apartment in Ber-
Inns most fashionable quarter
He was religious, too.
Chas. May was the honored
friend of kings and princes, Of
dukes and noblemen, of authors
and politicians; he belonged to
the intimate circle of Germany's
best men. When a well-known
trade union leader, Lebius, came
forward and said, This man May,
philanthropist and author, is iden-
teal with the brigand chief, Chas.
May"-the people just smiled at
the --latest socialist folly"
May himself treated the attacks
with contempt. But Lebius per-
sisted and became so pressing that
his onslaughts could no longer be
Ignored. So May sued him FOR
libel. The CASE was looked upon
as joke except for Lebius, whose
drastic punishment was foretold.
Then came the denouement.
DOUBTLESS May calculated that
after SO many years 1t would be
impossible to muster sufficient
evidence to make any kind of I'M
lpression in court. He was MIS-
taken. Lebius came with wit
nesses and documents, with photo
graphs; in brief, with overwhelm-
ing evidence. The court pronounc-
ed judgment in favor of Lebius.
Chas. May left the court condemn
ed and morally executed, crushed
and broken down with shame and
despair.
May, who was aged a decade
within a day, has returned to Sc
clusion to hide his head in an at
tempt to escape the mingled pity
and persecution of his former
world.
