A SAD CASE OF DROWNING
Mrs. Robert Shirley Loses Her
Nine Year Old Son
Merritt.

Merritt, the nine-year old son of Mrs.
Robert Shirley, met a tragic death
Wednesday afternoon, while bathing in
the river about half mile south of the
public school building, in company with
several boy companions. According to
the children with the unfortunate lad at
the time of drowning, the little fellow
waded out to beyond his depth and be-
ing unable to swim sank and came up
as drowning persons usually do. but al
though the boys with him at the time
sought to assist him to safety. they
failed and upon his sinking for the final
time, they ran at top speed for assis-
tance. The body was recovered and
ev cry effort made to restore animation,
but to no avail.
The death of this child is the first to
occur among the children of Mrs. Shir-
ley, who before his demise numbered
thirteen.
The funeral will occur this after
noon, and the body will be buried in
Fallon cemetary.

New Passenger Schedule.

Adviees in the shape of circulars
have been sent out by the traffic de-
partment of the Western Pacific stat
ing that preparations are being made
to inaugurate passenger traffic on the
new road sometime during the latter
part of August The company had
planned to start regular through pas
senger service as early as August T.,
but it will likely be about August Is
before everything will be in readiness.
1t is stated that the equipment for
the passenger service is all ready.
The company announces that the
latest pattern of steel coaches, dining
cars, library cars and compartment
sleepers will be installed with all the
most modern conveniences.
The schedule for the passenger
trains is now being worked out, and
according to J. W. Shotwell, assistant
to the vice-president, it will shortly
be made public.

FALLON|TES LOSE THEIR COIN
Pickpockets In Reno Find
Trusting Local Citi-
zens Easy.

Fallon's red blooded population re-
turned home in groups this week from
the Reno fight. They uniformly
brought home one of those "don't give
a whoop" expressions. Some brought
empty purses as well. M. E. Reed,
of the Wonder Lumber Company, played
one act engagement with q slick
fingered fellow somewhere in the
vicinity of Sparks and when he boarded
the car for Reno, he discovered his
pockets empty. In fact the nifty
crook had even gone to the trouble to
sew up the hole in Murray's pocket
through which the money is supposed
to have been taken. Fred Strassburg,
the accommodating assistant Churchill
County Bank cashier, lost twenty-five
large, well coined dollars in some
what mysterious manner. He consulted
a clairvoyant, who informed him that
heartless fellow had deliberately
pulled the coins from their resting
place in Fritz's pocket. Guy Asbury,
of the |. H. Kent Company lost time
piece of considerable value, and it is
presumed to be doing duty in the pocket
of ''lifter" or in the show case of an
"uncle" before now.
But the worst offended Fallonite is
w. B. Buckley, who had his hip
pocket well filled with coin, railroad
tickets and other spludging necessities
when he left Fallon. He had several
thrills as result of feeling proprietor
ship and then the lot was adeptly taken
by another and Mr.. Binckley thus de-
prived of further use of the articles
concerned, which included, we are told,
about $170 in cash. 1nasmuch as the
whole wad would have been placed on
Johnson at two to one Mr.. Buckley
figures that he lost S340 more than the
sum actually represented by the stolen
seeds.
One thing sure the localities have
been taught a much needed lesson, al
though we regret learn of the various
losses sustained, but bearing out the
old, old rule, their misfortune is our
good fortune. When the county fair
comes off this fall every son of gun
in town who has dollar bill will pack
the same in belt directly next to his
tough hide, and the efforts of pick
pockets will be thus thwarted.

concerning the earning capacity of the
Pacific lines. The commission shows
that during the ''last two years the
operating revenues of the Southern
Pacific company's system had increased
IS, 600, 900 while its operating expenses
had decreased 81, 900, 900, thus producing
an increased operating income of over
$l2, 600, 600, or a net increase of about
81, 600 per mile of its road"
Referring to other lines of the
Pacific system the commission says:
eff we take the Central Pacific alone
we find it third in the list of Pacific
coast roads in tons carried and the
highest of all in freight earnings per
mile, s13, 453 per mile in 1907. While
it is one of three roads in the west
carrying over million tons of freight
per mile of road, the earnings of the
Central Pacific per mile are 62 per cent
greater than the average in the United
States and 100 per cent greater than the
average of the roads west of Chicago. !"
In all these cases the commission
provides that the carriers shall take
account of their earnings during July,
August and September, under both
the existing rates and the proposed
new rates, with view to determining
the precise relation between the two
systems of rates.

Annexation of Fernley District Would
Not be Opposed.

Now is the time to work for the an
nexation of the Fernley district. We
learn on good authority that Lyon
county will not protest the changing Of
Churchill county's lines to include the
Fernley district within its borders. for
the very good reason that the Fernley
district has everything in common
with this county and nothing in com.
mon with Lyon where even now the var
ious districts are torn with q county
seat fight.
AS presented to this paper, Yering-
ton and Mason overshadow the old
county seat town, Dayton, in the fight
for the coveted honor. Mason has the
money, is on the railroad, and promises
to be Lyon county's commercial me-
tropolis despite the outcome Of the
county seat fight. Yerington il iso-
lated by the building of the railroad;
is inhabited by mossback citizenry, end
it appears that Dayton will stand with
Mason in the fight, whenever its own
cause seems hopeless. And out Of the
fight heavy taxation seems inevitable.

county, the time seems suspicious in.

WASHINGTON NEWS NOTES
Something of What Is Occur
ring at the Nations Cap
ittal City.

Within two days the busy nation S
capital has been transformed into a
deserted village. Not only has Con-
gress closed its doors until the short
session shall open in December, but
the President has transferred his office
to the North Shore of Massachusetts,
and many of the diplomats have followed
him there; others going to Atlantic
City, some to other summer resorts,
and few going to their native lands
on leaves of absence.
Everybody else in Washington who
is not tied down by business, fami-
ly affairs or just pure poverty, has
also shaken the dust from his feet and
is doing the best he can to enjoy life
under more benign skies and amid
more enticing surroundings.
During the next few months Wash
ington will be one of the dullest places
within the confines of the United
States. The only thing that will re-
deem it from entire oblivion as far as
the news columns of the press are con-
eerned is the fact that the various de-
partments of the Government will con-
tinue to do business at the old stand.
1t matters not that the summer has
been ushered in with temperature of
103 degrees and more in the shade, ac-
cording to one of the Weather Bureau s
thermometers conveniently located at
street intersection where the passing
populace may stop a moment just to
learn how much it is really suffering;
ii matters not that with an unusually
cool and rainy spring the weather man
is disposed to believe that we shall
suffer more in proportion during the
months to come; it matters not that
the army of government employees with
only one months leave of absence
coming to them are trying to the best
of their ability to distribute that leave
over as much of the heated spell as
possible the fact remains that the
machinery OF the government continues
to go on and the press bureaus of the
various departments will continue to
grind out ready-made news which occas-
ionally has flavor greatly resembling
that made by the vulgar press agent
of commerce. 1t therefore follows that
the hundreds of newspapers through
out the country maintaining special
correspondents in Washington, and
whose readers are accustomed to daily
installments Of news and comment
from The capital must keep their offices
open and the wires warm distributing
near-news and warmed over informa.

And yet there are people who come
to Washington to spend the summer.
Shades of Pluto The Washingtonians
will never cease to wonder what kline
of climate those people endure wher

A report reached Fallon yesterday
that one of the children of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. B. Williams, of Eastgate, had
met death by accident on that date at
the home at Eastgate, fifty miles east
of here, but later, the report was
proven untrue. Mr.. Williams is in
Reno, and the two children are with
their mother and grandmother. The
error of the report is indeed gratifying
to the many friends of the Williams
family.

THE LEGEND OF THE LARK
Very Pretty Tale Found in Folk Lore
OF the Aborlgincs of
Japan.

The Ainu (the aborigines OF Japan
have many legends about birds. one OF
which is very pretty. 1t is thus given
by recent writer:
"The skylark used to live in heaven.
One day the God in heaven sent him
down to the earth with a message for
the gods who reside here, telling him
to return the same day. But the lit
tie bird thought the earth such nice
place that he stayed to play. He was
here SO long that it began to grow
dark, and he therefore determined to
spend the night on the ground. The
next day he arose in the air to return
to heaven, but God met him when he
was about six-score feet up, and said:
why did you not return as told you?
AS, therefore, you have disobeyed my
words you shall not return to heaven,
but live upon the earth. Although
you may attempt to fly as high up as
heaven, yet you shall never be able to
get any higher than one of twoscore
of feet. The little bird was exceed
ingly concerned at this, and arguing
with God, said: oh, great God, as the
world you made is SO beautiful
| could not help taking look at it, and
| so got late. Although you chide me
for this yet will fly back to heaven.
! In this way he answered God But
God did not consent. Therefore the
| little bird grew more and more dis
tressed and daily went as high as he
could. pleading all the time; yet God
would never consent to his entrance
into heaven again. He therefore re
turned to the earth to play. After a
time he assembled and did the same
thing, yet God did not consent. The
same thing continues to happen now
every summer. but God never will al
low him to return
