Pressure Systems.

The pressure water systems are
still growing in popularity with
the farmers of this Valley and
their many advantages to a farm
would be hard to calculate. In
addition to the eighteen plants al
ready in operation on the different
ranches, VIM. Dressler has ordered
large system for his home ranch.
Mrs. Hellwinkel has likewise plac-
ed an order for one of the systems
O. E. Jones is installing the above
plants and is also to furnish the
r. 7. Wilkerson ranch near Reno
with a similar plant.

With the aid of her emergency kit

ALEX SCOSSA
PASSES AWAY

Alex Scossa. one of the best
known residents of Carson Valley,
died at his home a short distance
above Sheri Ian at six O'Clock
Tuesday morning Deceased had
been failing in health for some
time and several weeks ago he be-
came rapidly worse and entered
the Carson Valley Sanatorium.
Upon examination the physician
found the aged patient to be suffer.
ing from cancer Of the stomach.
The career had developed to such
ssage that he was beyond medical
aid. This fact was communicated
to his family, and he was taken
back home to die. He grew weak
er each day, and the family did
everything to alleviate his sufferings
and max" his last days on earth
as comfortable as possible.
Alex ocossa was a native of
Switzerland aged II vears :
months and 90 days. He came to
this state in 1873 and settled in
Genoa. There he engaged in the
wood business that was thriving
in the mountains back of that
town. After persuing the wood
business for several years, he de-
cided to take up farming and SUBJ
sequsntlss secured the ranch prop
erty that he has made his home
all these years.
He was very successful in bust
ness affairs and amassed a mooer-
ate fortune for his family. He
was a splendid citizen, a kind
neighbor, loving husband and
considerate father.
To mourn his loss he leaves
loving wife, son, Eugene Seossa,
of this Valley and a brother
Antoine Scossa of Mason Valley.
The funeral took place from the
family residence yesterday after
noon and was largely attended by
friends of the deceased. The in
terment took place in the Genoa

Tuesday evening, death merei-
fully ended the sufferiogs of Sam
Rice, one of the old pioneers of
Nevada who had been seriously
i'll at the Golden West Hotel since

which he was member.
Sam Rice was "A native of Ger
many and aged II years. lie
came to America in 1858, settling
at Grass Valley. In 1861 he emf
grated to Carson Valley settling
in Genoa. He ran the first resta u
rant ever started in that town, his
location being the first house built
in Nevada which was destroyed by
fire a few weeks ago.
He was married in Genoa and
later moved to Virginia City whe re
his wife passed away some 30
years ago. As a result OF the

VOTE FOR GEORGE spRzNGMEYER FOR 1T TORNEY GENRR4L
DOUBLE CROSSED IN A
FRAME-UP BOXING BOUT

Misplaced confidence and a de-
sire to give "broke" fighter a lift
out of the country, Will Seaman
was "double crossed" in splendid
shape last Sunday and received a
broken nose for his kindness.
As the story goes Bill billiard
desired TO spar an exhibition in
order to make car fare to San
Francisco. Learning that Seaman
was somewhat of a scrapper he
went to him with proposition
to arrange for fight Seaman did
not take kindly to the proposition
at first but Dillard finally agreed
to take the count in the second
round. To guarantee Seaman
that he would do as he said he
agreed to let Ssaman's representa-
tive hold the gate receipts until he
completed his part of the program.
billiard made a stall to get LIS
share of the gate rece;r's peiofe
entering the ring 1ut failed.
In the meantime it leaked"
that 1T was 'frams-up" and sew
eral bets were made on Seaman.
He ad r;sod his friends to keep
their money in their jeans.
billiards. adherants accused him
of the frame-up which he frankly
admitted. For $75 he agreed to
double cross Seaman which he did.
Knowing that Seaman could not
go more than two rounds because
of his unframed condition he
easily accomplished his purpose
when they ca sas ssapp in the third
round. billiard got $75 for double
crossing a man who thought he
was befriending him, while See
man took the entire gate receipts
of $120. billiard left for Frisco
the next day.
1t was a bad mess all around
and it is believed that the officers
will exact the $1,000 license before
allowing another "fuss" to be pull
ed off in this county.

PRODUCTS OF
THE DAIRY

The products of the dairy are
perhaps the most useful articles in
cluded in the human diet. A
meal made up of dishes in
to which no product OF The dairy
cow enters would not be such as to
inspire "the turnpike road to
peoples hearts | find lies through
their mouths, or | mistake man.
kind.n Take away the butter for
the bread, the cream for the coffee
and the poridge, the shortening In
the crust and the biscuits, the milk
in the gravy and in the puddings,
the cream for the desert and the
various kinds of cheese which
please and satisfy, then take the
cup OF milk from the little one and
the meal that would be lett would
be neither tempting nor nutritious.
The health Lof our people de-
pends SO much upon an adequate
supply of pure dairy products that
even a scarcity is always attended
by suffering and death.
Butter is sometimes referred to
as luxury. This is a mistake.
Butter is not a luxury but one OF
the necessities of life and its COM
position is such that nothing can
take its place and perform the
same functions. 1t is nature's 5
product compounded in the mater
nal organism and the process is 10
accordance with natures law, a
law which man can initiate but
cannot understand. Man can
manufacture from various fats and
oils a substitute for butter but 1t
cannot take the place OF natures
product because man cannot un-
derstand the needs OF the human
body as nature understands them.
The animal body is developed
best when nourished by foods
which have been little manipulate
ed by man and machinery. Dairy
products are, as a rule, Consumed
nearly as nature produced them.
This is particularly true with milk
upon which the growing body must
depend. In the case of butter only
small percentage OF other pro-
> ducts are added tc the lat extract
ed from the milk. Man only nan
jpulates it in order to put it into
9 convenient shape for use. 1t can
@ still be termed a product of nature
!. designed as only nature can design
for use as food by the human body

I poned. Every effort should be had to
make the law efficient and complete.
It will not injure those choosing to
abide by the rules of honesty and
clean business and It will do more, In
my judgment, than all the criminal
laws to protect the public from injus-
tice, fraud and extortion.
No wiser suggestion has been made
with reference to corporate affairs
than that of holding the officers and
directors Individually amenable to the
criminal law for the wrong doing of
the corporation. AS was well said by
one noted for his sound views on these
subjects, Society cannot afford to
have individuals welding the power
Of thousands without personal respon-
sibility." It is a violation of the first
principles of justice to indiscriminate-
ly distribute the punishment for crime
between the guilty and the innocent.
mat is what you do when you impose
nnes upon corporations, which fines
must be borne by innocent stockhold-
ers or oy people who do business with
the corporations. Those who are re-
sponsible for wrong doing. those who
initiate policies in violation of law
should alone suffer the penalty sepa-
rated and selected for punishment as
individuals. Put a few of those men
who are responsible for the violations
OF law In Jail and the effect will be far
more beneficial than any amount of
nnes which you might impose upon
corporations. Neither would it disturb
business. That which disturbs bust
ness is the indiscriminate mingling of
the innocent with the guilty. There is
no more reason why the punishment
OF individuals in corporations Should
disturb business than that the punish-
ment Of individuals in societies shorId
disturb society, and it seems that it ia
