The members of the city council o

after listening to what the agen
had to say Of his machine, expressed
themselves as being in favor of tht
proposition as it was presented. Since

not in favor Of purchasing the ma

There seems to be no crying de-
mand to put the deal through from
any quarter except that Of the com
pany that has the machines for sale.
Under the proposed arrangements:
there would be but one machine for
each precinct. Everyone must vote
on the same machine and but one
person at time can use it. This
tends to cut short the voters time.
Under the present system, as many
voting booths are erected as the pre-
cinct requires. Three, four and five
booths are put in precinct allow
ing several voters to engage in
their ballots at the same
time, the Judges and clerks easily
taking care Of as many as come to
vote. The voter has ample time
to read over the names on the ball

mittee on arrangements received

LOCAL SCHOOLS ARE
DOING GOOD WORK

Prof. Mitchell, district superin-
tendent OF schools, paid an official
visit to the schools of this county
last week, and just before leavingl
for his home in Sparks, called at
this office that the parents might
know what his opinion of our
schools was. You can say that
the work being done in the dis
trict schools OF Douglas county
that were visited by me, met my
approval and favorably compare
with the school work of other
counties" He said that the peo-
pie of Douglas has showed great
enterprise in establishing county
high school. Advancement OF any
comAunity is marked by the
educational advantages it affords.
Douglas was one of the first coun-
ties in the state to take advantage
of the high school act although b one

accompanied him from Carson
to accept al invitation extended

1t was one the largest gathering
as we'll as one of the most pleasant
evenings held by that fraternal
organization in this county in some
time. The grand master is ex-
ceptionally well versed on matters
pertaining to Masonary and his
remarks broadened the knowledge
OF lthose present regarding their
order.
At midnight a banquet was
served at the Raycraft hotel for
fifty, this being the number present.
The spread was not ordinary kind

TREATMENT PROVES
TO BE SUCCESSFUL

Last spring a method OF treat
ment for pear blight was published
in these columns, it being known
that many orchards had suffered
from the sease. Fred Gansberg
determined to save his pear trees
if possible, and as last resort fol-
lowed out the instructions. Some
of the trees were entirely dead, but
only those that showed life were
treated. A small hole was bored
in the trunk of each tree, the cavity
filled with sulphur and the hole
tightly plugged. The dead limbs
were cut and Mr.. Gansberg waited
for results. This spring new
shoots have started out on the old
branches and the trees have all
appearance of returning to their
normal healthy condition.
This item is not published to
gain any credit for saving Mr..
Gansberg's trees, but prove the
effectiveness of the treatment to
others who may have doubtesi. its
worth.

FIGHTING FOR
MONO FREIGHT

As days 60 by, the question of
freighting to aud from Mono
countyls becomes more and more
perplexlng and it is an unsolveG
problem. VIII the bulk of the
freight continue 10 go this route or
will it go TO Hudson over the
Copper Belt road? The officials
of the latter railroad visited
Bridgeport n few days ago and ar
ranged for putting on an auto line
To connect with their road which
will make "a hour passenger
schedule between Bridgeport and
San Francisco. 1t is uuoflieially y
stated that since work at Hudson
has been stopped II means that
the road is To be continued To a
point ono mile from Wellington
thus obtaining point OF vantage
over all.
1t is claimed that while the
freight rates from San Francisco
to Minden are $3.50 a ton lower
than to Hudson, II is figured that
team freight 10 Mono county points
will be 50 n ton cheaper fiom Hud-
son than from Minden.
The management of the Virginia
IL Truckee railroad has conferred
with the commissioners OF Doug
