GIVES VALLEY
A GOOD BOOST

John A. Gill of the Southern
Pacific company returning from a
trip over the Y. IL T. railroad states
his belief that the future holds
much in store for the prosperous
section near Reno says the Journal.
Mr.. Gill said;
"If any one doubts the existence
of a most beautiful and prosperous
valley the should take trip over
the V. K T. to Gardnerville and
Minden. Here we find a most
fertile valley, with approximately
$4,000 acres of tilIable soil, about
so per cent beingunder cultivation
with ample water supply from the
Carson river. The crops consist of
alfalfa, barley, wheat, oats and
potatoes and decideous fruits on
small scale. Although a recent
sale in the foothills of 1000 acres
at $3.50 per acre to Seattle syndi-
cate for apple orchards seemed to
indicate good thing when they
go it.
Gardnerville is very attractive
place with good stores and hotel
accommodations. The new town
at Minden is making rapid prog
resss; besides being good dis
tributing point fer mining towns
in the interior. A creamery own.
ed by ranchers, shows an annual
output of butter of 100000 pounds.
The flour mill has capacity Of
fifty barrels daily. and finds a
ready market for its production.
Mr.. Gill is one of the many
travellers that visit this section
and likes it. However it is only
fair to say that the farmers of
Carson Valley are successfully
operating two large creameries;
also that Carson Valley is sup
porting two -four mills each with
a daily capacity of so bbls.

the engine. The injured man was
brought on top and made as easv
as possible until the arrival of the
doctor.
Although bed fast the injured
superintendent still possesses that
do-or-die spirit that has character
lied his movements for the past
two years. He insists on staying
at the mine and directing the work
from his cot. He has but one OBJ
ct in view and that is to make
the Pine Nut mine a producing
property. Through adversity and
misfortune and now disabled by
broken leg, he shows that same
remarkable grit that few men
possess.

GRAND MASTER
VISITS LODGE

H. P. Clifford, Grand Master OF
the Nevada Odd Fellows, paid an
official visit to Gardnerville lodge
Wednesday evening. The Grand
Master was completing a 1000
mile trip, which took him to every
town in the state where an Odd
Fellow lodge is located. During
the evening the distinguished
visitor delivered a very interesting
address on Old Fellowship in Ne
vada.
Of the half hundred members
that were present, several of them
we're from distant cities. b. Lyons,
of Chicago, followed the grand
master and being fluent talker,
was very interesting. He told
how in his travels he had occasion
to visit an Odd Fellow Orphans s
Home. On entering the grounds
he passed bright eyed little girl.
He stopped an asked her whose
little girl she was. The little tot
looked earnestly into his face and
said: fare you an OGd Fellow ?"
Upon informing her that he was,
she stretched out her arms 10 him
and said; "then l am your little
girl" This was but an illustration
OF the good being accomplished by
the order of Odd Fellows.
After the meeting the members
partook of banquet at the East
Fork hotel.
The Grand Master visited the
Genoa lodge last evening and COM
pleted his official visit of the
Nevada lodges.

enroll, requiring third teacher
to adequately cope with the extra
volume of work.
Another room is TO be finished

time there he became i'll and re.
turned to Reno. He had not been
able 10 work and spent much OF
his time at home with his sisters
He had been despondent for weeks
but never talked of death, and il
was not thought that he would at
tempt to kill himself.
Friday he remained at homs
with his sister Annie and about 4
O'Clock went to his room, stating
that he was going to change his
clothes. When his sister, Miss
Jessie Beck, returned from school
she inquired about him and his
other sister stated that he was in
his room. Shortly after that Miss
Jessie Beck went to her brothers
room with some clothing, and on
opening the door saw her brother
lying on the bed with his head in
pool OF blood. She was badly
frightened and Immediately ran
from the room.
Wayne l.. Beck was a native OF
Reno and was 2S years of age. He
had attended the Reno public
school and two years ago went to
Minden where he was employed
by the Minden Milling Company.
He returned to Reno some months
ago. He was acquainted with
many in Reno and all who knew
him liked him. He numbered his
friends by the score. He was a
son of the late H. II. Beck, one of
the pioneers of this state and for
years was one of the leading men
of Reno.
He leaves two sisters in Reno

Death of MIR. John S. Graham.

Nesmith, October 23:-lt is my
painful duty to chronicle the death
of one of our best citizens, Hor
John S Graham, which sad even
took place at his home at Morrisville
Wednesday morning; October l8, af
ter an illness of about two months:
When he was first taken sick his
physician advised a change of eli.
mate and he Immediately went to
Asheville, N C, where he received
the best attention for a month; but
instead of being benefited he grad
ually grew worse. About two weeks
ago he was brought home. but with
all the tender care and nursing of
family, friends and physician. death
could not be stayed.
Mr. Graham being so well known
to the readers of The Record, feel
that an attempt on my part to give
a sketch of his life would be useless.
| doubt if there was a man in the
county better known than MIR Gra-
ham, he having represented the coun-
ty in the General Assembly for eight
or ten years, retiring from public
life two years ago.
Mr. Graham was of kind and ge-
nial disposition. quiet and unassum-
ing-the perfect type of honesty.
For a number of years he was a
constant member of the Black Mingo
Baptist church. In his death the
county has lost one of its best men.
On Thursday afternoon at 3
O. clock his remains were laid to rest
in the old Belin cemetery, there to
await the final resurrection. The
funeral services were conducted by
his pastor, Rev H C Haddock.
Mr. Graham was Ga years of age.
He leaves devoted wife, four sons,
seven daughters and a host of friends
and relatives to mourn their irrep-
arabic loss. May He who doeth all
things we'll comfort the bereaved
ones in this their dark hour.

A Plea for Clean SIDEWALKS.

We quite agree with our cor
respondent, Poor Conrad" that
steps should be taken to keep
the sidewalks clear of apple and
banana peelings and other germ
producing rubbish. The Civic
League placed cans alongside
the pavements and even employ
ed a man to look after the side
walks on Main and Academy
streets, which was an excellent
thing for the town, but the good
ladies for some reason seem to
have relaxed their efforts, to some
extent at least. We think the
Civic League should receive the
aid and encouragement of every
one in their praise-worthy efforts
to cleanse and beautify the streets,
and if the undertaking prove
too much for them the town
council should aid them to con-
tinue the good work.
The anti-spitting ordinance is
d good suggestion. Physicians tell
us that there is no quicker way
to disseminate disease germs than
by the sputum Of persons atfiict-
ed with certain contagious diseases.
Such an ordinance is sure to
come sooner or later, so why not
pass it now? In many cities
special plain clothes officers are
detailed 10 watch the sidewalks
and they are kept a. clean as a
floor. Only a few months ago III

or some official Of the Chamber Of
Conmercc-was fined five dollars
or writing in chalk on the side
walk-if we remember Alright the
appeal: GIVE paid my dollar
(to the Chamber of Commerce.
have you paid yours?'' 1t is a
common thing to see all kinds OF
advertisements on the sidewalks
of Kingstrec and no one seems
to care.
It may take time to bring
about much improvement along
these lines, the town has rocked
along in the same old rut for 50
many years; but I little energy
and perseverance properly direct
ed would accomplish a great deal.
