Sleep and the Brain.

When the brain is at work marshal.
ing ideas, producing mental pictures,
and calling into action %stored-up men,
cries and impressions, the cells of it's
mystericusly potent gray matter I'M
dergo a change of form. Cavities are
formed in them, which, as the brain
becomes wearied by long-continued &C.
ton, fill with a watery fluid. Part Of
the substance of the cells appears to
have been consumed in the process of
thinking, but in the hours of sleep the
exhausted cells regain their original
form. the supply of recuperative ma
terial coming from the blood and on
awakening. the mind finds its instru-
ment restored and prepared again for
action.

After the Rats.

AS a country Germany has fewer
rats than any other in the world. This
is due to the interest taken by the
government in their destruction. If a
boy applies to the mayor of his town
he is furnished with traps and paid
half a cent for every skin he brings.
In large towns there are 100 boys at
work all the time. The cost Of traps
and bait makes each skin cost the
government about a penny, but as
every rat destroys five dollars worth a
year. this makes a tremendous saving.
The mice. though. destructive. are
not looked after by the government.
1t is expected that, every household
will protect itself. However, a reward
Of a penny is paid for every three
skins.

Dating Canned Goods.

Dating canned goods would. it Is
admitted, make a lot of trouble for a
few years, or until the business had
become adjusted to the new condi-
tons; but in the end many even now
believe that the industry would be
better off with tins dated. There
would be less over-production and a
resulting improvement in the, market,
to say nothing of added confidence in
consuming circles. The advice of DR..
Wiley seems extremely pertinent, and
1t is certainly worth careful consider

Fernley Coming to The Fore.

Robert Graham and wife, of Fernley,
spent Friday and Saturday with H. M.
Blaine and wife, and took in the Friday
night dance of the Knights Of Pythias.
Mr.. Graham is among the projects
most successful homesteaders- pio-
neer in fact, of the new era. He says
that his section is already showing
substantial evidences of Uncle Sans
reclamation policy and that new rail-
road is on the tapis too. The Fernley-
Portland surveying crews are at work
cross sectioning, and rumors are per-
sistent that work on the grades will be
begun with the advent of spring. The
making of Fernley will be assured by
the new road when it is completed, for
il will mean that it is junction of
more than ordinary Importance and the
agricultural resources will be given a
great impetus by the north to south
road, which will be part of the Harri-
man system when completed.

A Stubborn Solo Game.

The other day three of Fallon's most
gifted solo players sat down at table
at the Churchill bar to cross solo
swords. They wei e Hon. w. W. Will
liams, Sam Rosenberg and Mamie
Sanford. They battled long and hard;
the welkin was made to ring with the
shouts of near approaching victory,
but each time the doughty under man
would recoup. Our ex-state senator
was down to the green cloth on one
occasion, but with proverbial luck, he
turned the tables on his relentless solo
foes and again gained the ascendency.
Time after time was the end in sight
only to again retreat. Finally Sam
Rosenburg fell before Senator Williams
onslaughts, after the business instincts
that have guided Sam since time i'm
memorial deserted him. Then it was
that Senator Williams gave him the
right hand of fellowship and asked that
the past be forgotten, but that the
future should be looked out for. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Williams, calico was
advanced two cents per yard on the
following morning in the Rosenberg
establishment and Sam has girded him
self in sack cloth and ashes for his solo
star is no longer in the ascendency.

Will Introduce Bills For Nevada s
Benefit.

According to the Reno Gazette, Con-
gresham Bartlett will introduce and
work for the passage Of couple of
bills of benefit to Nevada at the pres
ent session of Congress. One of the
measures is for the widening of the
channel of the Truckee river in the
canyon above Reno, for which work
an appropriation will be asked. 1t
will take large quantity of dynamite
and number of mihers to do this
work and will cost quite sum.
It is also the intention of Congress-
man Bartlett to endeavor and have a
bill passed for the resurvey of gov
ernment lands in this state. The con-
tention is made that wooden stakes
were placed as corners when the orig
inal surveys were made and that many
of these have been destroyed. Thus
new surveys are needed. If new sur.
veys should be made steel stakes would
be used instead of the wooden ones
used heretofore.

KNIGHTS AND FRIENDS DANCE
New Year Eve Affair One OF
The Most Enjoyable Occa-

The New Years Dance given by

Clark's pavilion Friday evening, was a
complete success, Notwithstanding the
inclemency of the weather. The Rath-
bone Sisters added their efforts towards
making the event the success that it
was, and the many present are loud in
their praises of the manner in which
their wants were served.
Mrs. Inez Harmon prepared repast
for the hungry dancers that went to
the spot and was worth every cent and
more than was charged. The music
was imported from Reno and gave
general satisfaction.
1t is stated that from a financial
viewpoint, the affair was highly salts
factory everything considered. The
annual Knights of Pythias ball is not
calculated as money making affair and
If expenses are met from the proceeds of
the dances, the only aim of the lodge is
In this instance. owing to
the elaborate preparations made for
entertainment, the expenses slightly
exceeded the proceeds, but the deficien-
cy is so small that the dance must also be
classified as financial success as well
as social event of high order.

CAMP GREGORrs VALUES
Are Increasing and Show De-
gree of Richness That Pres
ages Producers.

w. L. Cook, in charge of the mining
operations in progress at Camp Gregory
some ten or twelve miles west of this
place, received returns last week fir I'm
assays made of rock taken from the
center of the drift on his Scotia proper
ty. which are extremely gratifying.
The values shown were $s9.85 in gold
and half ounce in silver and the test
of the ore value at this point has served
to stimulate those behind the work of
developing mine in the Camp Gregory
district to greater efforts. Already
nearly $40, 900 has been expended and
every dollar has passed through Fallon' S
business circles. Wages have been
paid promptly and of the various at
tempts at developing districts, the
Camp Gregory outfit has been more
closely identified with Fallon than any
other that has operated in the county.
For this reason, if for no other, local
people are wishing Mr.. Cook unhounded
success In his project.
He writes that he will be home this
week and that work upon larger scale
than ever before will be inaugurated
Immediately. A larger force of miners
will be employed and a gasoline hoist
will In all probability be installed.
Mr.. Cook and his associates have been
on the theory that Camp
Gregory contained ledges that were
really combinations of the Comstock
lode.

Transact Usual Business And
Draw Trial Jurors For
Ensuing Year.

The county commissioners board
met Monday and Tuesday and trans
acted the usual monthly business. A
trial jury list for the ensuing year was
drawn, two hundred names being taken
from the list of voters in the various
precincts of the county.

appointed to adjust the matter of dam
age through the building of the new
road asked for from the l. Line canal
to the eastern part of town, a pro-
posed thoroughfare calculated for the
convenience of a large number of people
living south and southeas. of town,
was received.
The report of the appraisers gave an
estimate of damage which would make
the quarter of mile Of proposed road
cost the county around $500 and it was
promptly laid over. Just what DISPOSE
tion will be made of the matter is not
known.
W. H. Sifford appeared before tap
board and asked for the construction,
by the county, of bridge over Still
water slough at point several miles
this side of the old county seat. Mr..
Sifford stated that more than half
dozen families now live south of the
slough and are put to great inconven-
fence in following the present route
through Saltwater which is several
miles longer than the proposed route
would be. Mr.. Sifford was instructed
to secure right of way for road and
that the bridge would then be authorized.
The regular monthly bills were
allowed. The board will meet again
Saturday to award contracts covered
