Jn6 system followed is the same IN
both places. This ought to be sutti-
cient pl oof that the colony plan is the
best for practical poultry raisers and
for farmers who have plenty of other
work tc do and who find it Necessary
to employ the methods that will give
satisfactory results with the least
labor and the least Investment in
buildings and runs.
The man who is keeping poultry
on city lot is working under entire
ly different conditions. He must
spend more money per head to house
his flock and must also expend much
more labor in their care and as con-
sequence he must show much greater
returns per head if his enterprise is
to prove profitable. The man keeping
flock of several hundred hens on a
moderate sized patch of ground, say
two or three acres is also forced to
equip at considerable expense as his
fowls must be yarded off in small
punches unless he is able to cut out
the keeping of breeding birds and
young chicks and depend upon the
purchase of pullets yearly to renew his
flock. When that is the case he Can
give his fowls the run of the whole
place with no cross fences and colon
ize them.
First then to consider the needs OF
the young chicks ready to leave the
breeders. Don't make the mistake
of putting them in little dinky coops
not much bigger than the brooders
themselves. Put them in houses
where they will have five OF six feet
head room, thus insuring plenty OF
fresh air. Probably more chicks are
killed or rendered worthless through
being raised in stuffy and foul aired
quarters than by any other means.
Make the coops not less than five feet
in highth and the same depth and as
long as is necessary to accommodate the
young flock. Three roosts. placed two
feet from the floor should run length
wise of the coop and if two feet of
roost is allowed for every five birds
there will be plenty of room for them
until they are fully matured. The
front of the coop should be of wire
netting three feet wide the wire to
extend downward from the roof, bot
tom two or three feet to be Eoarded-
and some further ventilation should
be provided by cutting very narrow
opening close up to roof on other
side. 1t is only a question of little
time now when broodeIs Will be aban-
doned altogether. The chicks will be
reared in large brooding rooms set in
the middle of the fields and they Will
remain in these rooms until they
reach maturity.
That this method of chick rearing
can be practised successfully in
Washington as in California has been
demonstrated by number of poultry
raisers near Kent. | have just return
ed from visiting Mr.. b. q. Vashus, a
very successful egg farmer, who has
raised splendid lot of chicks in the
room brooder this spring. After
taking out the cockerels as soon as
they reached broiler age he allowed
the puilets To remain in the big room

PRINCIPAL FOR THE
HIGH SCHOOL SELECTED
Former Principal Coverdale Re-
fuses to Fulfill Contract and
Another Teacher is Chosen

George W. Coverdale, who had &C.
cepted the position as principal of the
Eureka County High School after a
great deal Of correspondence with the
Board Of County Commissioners acting
as a County Board of Education, about
two weeks ago requested to be released
to which the Board entered a decided
objection. One week ago he rendered
his resignation.
The Board then entered into corres.
pondence with a party in California
with whom it had formerly been in
correspondence regarding the selection
OF a principal. as Mr. Coverdale could
not make up his mind at that time
whether he would accept the position
or not. and has secured a competent
man as principal Of the Eureka County
High School.
There is no doubt now but that the
school will be opened at the commence
ment Of the regular term on Tuesday.
September 6.
The Board desires to state to the
public that it had made many conces.
sions to Mr.. Coverdale to secure him as
principal for the ensuing school year,
but has been sadly disappointed in him
'endering his resignation only two
weeks before the school was ready to
start. because, as he says. he was
rendered a better position in the West.
This method Of excepting a position
which the Board believed to be in good
faith, and then rendering a resignation
only two weeks before a school term is
about to begin. may be according to
modern school ethics as practiced in the
East. but does not appeal to the Board
as being in accord with right aud honor
as it conceives it to be in this section of
the country.

Important Amendment

The voters at the general election
this year will have the chance Of voting
a change in the Constitution of the
State Of Nevada. The moneys now OBJ
tanned from poll tax is put to use, hall
for State purposes and half for county
purposes. The amendment, II success
lul, will place the money thus obtained
60 the betterment Of the public roads
and no doubt any n who has used 0
Nevada road will cast a vote in favor OF
the amendment. The roads in the
State are a disgrace, but the new reso'
ution will greatly help to eliminate the
thumps and bumps connected with
travelling.

Political Announcements


N6V., Aprl i, iSiO.
Mr.. H. R. Hanlin. Tonopah, New.
Dear Mr.. Hanlin:
In re carrying concealed weapons in
the State Of Nevada:
This subject is covered by the Act OF
March II. 1908. Statutes of Nevada.
1908. page 208.
After specifying that the carrying Of
concealed weapons is unlawful. and
after providing a penalty. the statute
contains the following exemption:
Sec. 4: ''This Act shall not apply to
peace officers in the discharge OF their
duties, nor to persons acting or engaged
in the business Of common carriers in
this State, or to persons travelling
through the State"
The language of this clause is plain
and specific. In our opinion 1t permits
all persons who are on our pay roll to
carry concealed weapons.
Faithfully,
CAMPBELL, METsoN 81 Brown.

AUSTIN IS AGAIN PROSPEROUS
Her Washed Out Railroad Has
Been Rebuilt and Mines Are
Again Being Operated

From Judge Peter Breen, who ar
rived from Austin last Tuesday evening,
we obtained the following items con-
corning affairs in our neighboring town:
Business in Austin" said Judge
Breen, "has improved 30 per cent since
the fore part of July. when / was there.
Merchants and the general public no
longer complain Of dull times. There
Is no boom" apparent. but there is
work for all, and the mercantile estab-
lishments are correspondingly active.
The Austin. Manhattan Mining Com
pany has about 40 men employed, with
the certainty of employing many more
by the first OF the month. This happy
state OF affairs is due to the completion
Of the repairs and putting in active
operation of the Nevada Central Rail
road. 1t will be remembered, that the
narrow gauge from Battle Mountain
was about as badly washed ont by thu
Spring freshets as the Eureka & Pail.

time, was 10 as sore distress as Eureka.
A Good Samaritan

County narrow gauge. Arson Phelps
Stokes. however, seeing and appreciat-
ing the hard plight the people were in.
the almost p%rohibitive prices Of the me-
oessities Of life and general collapse OF
business along the line of the road. did
not hesitate for a moment to go down
ia his pocket and hand out between
sixty and seventy thousand dollars with
which, by the employment of scores OF
men and teams, he placed the road in
operation and in better condition than
it had been in for years.
A Contrast
zone cannot help contrasting the
public spirit and philantropic conduct
and actions of Arson Phelps Stokes to-
ward Austin and its people, with the
attitude and actions of the outfit who,
to our great misfortune, own and o
troll the Eureka & Palisade narrow
gauge. since it was injared by food and
| freshet in a few places.

CHINAMAN COMMITTED
"ah, an Old Resident Of Eureka, De-
eiared Mentally Unbalanced

~
eisred Mentally Unbalanced
A Chinaman known as wah, who has
iived in Eureka for the past 20 years
and has been employed about town in
doing odd jobs. was taken into custody
Thursday afternoon and placed in the
county Jail to await a hearing as to his
sanity.
For sometime at intervals be has been
noticed to act strangely. swinging his
arms and talking to himself while walk
ing on the streets. These queer &C tions
were attributed 20 his INDUCING too
freely in opium.
Lately he has been making trips to
the water tanks Of the Eureka Water
Company south Of town, breaking the
locks on the doors and turning the
water of. Although he has been re.
peatedly told to desist from doing 30.
he has paid no heed to the requests, and
believes he is an employee of the Water
Company.
He had an examination before Judge
Breen Friday afternoon. He was asked
by the Judge what he intended doing
with the loaded revolver he had in his
possession the day he was arrested. and
he coolly replied: "Man foolee ne /

As there appeared no doubt that the
Chinaman is mentally unbalanced he
was committed to the Insane Asylum
at Reno and he will leave here in

Things around the town are rather dull,
And people leaving fast;
But the 'Guild' will hold together,
Until the very last;
To disband now would be a sin,
Knowing that things will hustle
When the train comes in.
On Main s'reet there is scarcely a soul astir,
And customers are few;
Now and then we see a man hiding from the sun,
And seem to be having their own fun;
Sitting on a box, they white and they hack,
Waiting patiently for the train to come back.
The women wander about the yard,
Wondering where they can get the lard,
To make the ~doughnuts aud the pies
And keep the men from heaving signs,
And keep their nerves from going to rack
Until our train comes back.
Lard and bacon are soaring so high,
Unless the mines open, we simply can't buy.
And am afraid will cause children to cry.
True, now and then we can have a sagehen to fry,
But that is expensive, ammunition is high.
Oh, what a treat for Eureka, when we see the iron
track,
And know for ourselves the train has come back.
We will wear our oil clothes, when we go out,
For style is hardly needed, when no men are about;
And we will work away with the mercury ninety eight,
Doing what we can, for the Guild will appreciate;
Times such as these will send the best of towns to rack,
So let's have patience until our train comes back.
Eureka has had many things to bear,
In fact, we think more than her share;
But the Lord knows best, what to send next,
And methinks 1 hear him say, "Take a long rest
For ''when the frost has bit the pumpkin
And the 'taters' in the SACK
Eureka will be all right; then the train will be back.
