EXPOSITION FIGHT
In HOUSE TO-DAY
Both Sides Claim Victory in
the impending Battle.

In the House to-day there will be given
the first inkling to how that body
! stands officially as to the choice of a city
! in which to hold an exposition in 1915
! commemorating the completion of the
Panama Canal The matter will come up
| in the shape of proposal that the House
| itself shall decide which piece of legis-
lation shall be considered-the Kahn res
olution designating San Francisco as the
city to which the President shall invite
the nations of the world to participate in
an exposition in 1915 or the Estopinal
bill, fixing New Orleans as the exposi-
tion point and appropriating $l.0OO.O0O for
a government exhibit
1t is likely that the vote on this choice
of legislation will decide where the House
will ultimately land its preference, al
though later votes must follow on the
legislation itself and the substitute that
will be offered in the shape of the legis-
lation that falls behind in the first heat
Both Sides Make Claims.

Evidence of log-rolling abroad in the
various Congressional districts began to
flow into Washington yesterday. Several
Congressman from the Middle West, and
a few in New England, who have been
known to be ION the fence as to expo
sition city preference, were showered
with kilograms from their constituents
asking them to vote for one city or the
other. One Wisconsin Representative re-
ceived many as 80 of these messages
urging San Francisco as the place.
The debate will ring with charges and
countercharges, involving the merits of
the respective representations. Among
these will be the assertion by San Fran
cisco supporters that New Orleans will
be unable to raise the funds proposed,
and the charge by the New Orleans SYM
nounced the opportunity to ask for an
appropriation for a government exhibit

WELL DRILLING
WILL Be TRIED

The drilling rig ordered by the State
Industrial and Publicity Commission
has arrived in Carson. This is an arte-
sian drilling outfit of the most modern
nature, designed to bore from small to
eight-inch castings.
The first work undertaken will be i'll
Ormsby county. where the land is to be
bored for artesian water The work will
cost the land owners only the actual ex-
penses incurred in the running of the
machine and tools. The State is not
endeavoring to make any money from
the farmers or reclaimers of arid lands
under this project.
The County Development Association
has made application for the use of the
machine on some lands they have obtain
ed. Should flowing well be obtained
it is the intention of the development
society to place the lands on the market
for settlement.

Trout In Carson River

1t has been remarked by numerous
ones that the frisky trout now abound in
the Carson river i'll almost as great num-
Der as do the carp and catfish. There
was time when the Carson river was a
famous trout stream but the concentrates
run into ii from the milling plants of the
Comstock exterminated this species of
fish along i'll the early eighties. But
with the connecting of the Carson with
the Truckee by the great government
canal, the trout have again migrated and
are breeding in the Carson i'll prolific
fashion. Recently the entire available
flow of the Carson was diverted into
the ditch streams, and the great number
of trout was noticeable in many of the
shallow pools.
The propagation of trout, the greatest
of game fish, should be encouraged in
this section and in no cases should the
government dry water courses where
they exists, if the action is not absolutely
necessary.

DUSTY MARY"
BEING REPAIRED

couple of weeks ago AL Marsal towed
into town a dilapidated looking hulk of
all automobile from Schurz. Upon in
vestigation this junk pile of machinery
was found to be what was left of old
Dusty Mary" big Thomas that was
one of the special desert machines built
to run from Sodaville to Tonopah in the
early days of those camps, before the
Tonopah and Goldfeld, and still later
on between Schurz and Rawhide. The
machine was big, powerful one, and in
her prime negotiated the desert hills
and sandy plains as no other machine
could, except her mate. 1t is said that
she has travelled over Is, 900 miles on
the desert highways. She met with
number of accidents, as all machines do,
but it was not until she tried to lump
washout about twenty feet wide and ten
feet deep that she received the injuries
that put her out of commission This
accident dId not injure any of the pas
sengers she was carrying, but it broke
the frame of the machine, and it has
been out of commission since. Mr..
Marsal purchased the wreck for song
and he now has the old girl almost
ready to go on the road again. Her
engines are the largest of any machine
in the State and they are as fine today as
when they were first put in the car.
They develop 70-horse power. When
fully repaired the machine will prob
ably be put on run between Wabuska
and Yerington.

FUNERAL OF
MRS. RANDALL

Quite number of the friends of Sher-
if d. p Randall, in three autos, went
to Dayton Monday to attend the funeral
of his late wife, who died in Reno OH
Friday night of last week. AT the hour
set for the services, two O'Clock in the
afternoon, the pallbearers carried the
casket to the lawn III front of the Ran
dali farm house, SO long the home of
the deceased, and Rev. Hornaday, of
Carson, delivered the eulogium His
text was the wondrously simple, though
comprehensive, chapter in Proverbs, de-
scribing the virtuous wife through all
ages, his subject the life of the departed.
The bereaved family of three grown
boys and one little girl, the stricken
husband and aged mother, together
with large sad gathering of other rela-
tives and friends of deceased, listened to
the eloquent and touching recital of her
many loving kindnesses shown to the
poor and needy throughout the all too
brief span of her earthly career, and i'll
which the speaker made mention of the
gentle mother smile, which, even i'll
death, illumined the face of the departed,
and bespoke i'll silent eloquence the be-
nign character of her life on earth and
the promise of life beyond
At the close of the address appropriate
hymns were sung and a procession more
f1an t,,i1a ie ~
mains to the cemetery on the hill, and
the last sad rites were there concluded.
No more can be said than that an ideal
wife and mother has gone to her reward,
and not alone her family, but the entire
community stands bereft.

is the electrician at that place and was
up on 30-foot pole arranging to change

seems, had rotted off Just at the surface
of the ground, and when it began to fall
Johns went down with it, being strapped
to it with a safety harness such as line

RAILROAD SERVICE
WORST IN WORLD

Since the time of No. n was changed
ton district has been the worst that it
ever had. The Southern Pacific Com
pany made this change, so it is said, for
the benefit of Tonopah and Goldfeld
travel, so that night ride could be had
by passengers en- route to those camps
In view of the fact that more passengers
are taken from and delivered to Wa
buska, on the 5. p. line. by the Nevada
Copper Belt road, than are brought from
or delivered to Nina from the whole
southern country, it is passing strange
that the Southern Pacific cannot arrange
a schedule that will be half way decent
for the people coming into this district.
As the trains now run passengers COM
ing over the V. & T. road arrive at Wa
buska at p. III and have to remain
there until about 4 p. M. before leaving
for Yerington. Those who come from
Reno or other points, by way of Hazen
get into Wabuska at O'Clock in the
morning and have to lay there until a.
III. before taking the motor to Yering-
ton. The accommodations are not the
best at Wabuska, nor are they sufficient.
The S. 7. does not now even put on
sleeper at Reno to accommodate the
passengers who get off at Wabuska
What kind of a grudge that company
has against the district we do not under
stand, but it must be something serious
for the company to give this district
such a rotten deal in the way of passen-
ger service.

PROGRESS ON MINE
AND RAILROAD

Everything is progressing nicely at
the Nevada Douglas mine and OH the
Copper Belt railroad in this district, and
it will not be many weeks before You
will see ore trains running over the line
from the mine to the smelter
AT the mine the trestle has been COM
pleted for the Douglas tram which will
carry ore direct from the mine to the
cars.
The large pumps have been installed
and the work of unwatering the property
to the seventh level will begin immedi-
ately. The work at the mine at the
present consisting of opening up the
slopes OIL different levels so that ore can
be readily extracted when the time ar
rives to ship it.
Development work has disclosed new
ore bodies on the 100 foot level the 200
foot level and the 500. foot level, and the
mine is getting bigger every day.
The railroad grade has practically been
completed and the work of laving the
ties and rails will be completed in the
next few weeks.

WHAT DAIRYING
DOES FOR COUNTRY

The Ice Cream Trade Journal, in a re-
cent issue, gives the following interest
ing information in favor of dairying:
Iowa, Georgia and Mississippi had, in
1900, approximately the same number
of farm families. Their total value of
domestic animals was, i'll millions: Geor-
gia 33, Mississippi Al, and Iowa 272
For each family their value was: Geor-
gia sl0S, Mississippi slS5, Iowa S122
Now look at the value of the farm
products, for 1909, in millions: Georgia
lO4 and Mississippi 102, while the Iowa
farms produced 81 900, 900 for every day
i'll the year. Every farmers family i'll
Iowa produced nearly four times as
much as farmers family in Mississippi
or Georgia.
But here's the staggerer. Iowa spent
1887, 100 for fertilizers, Mississippi s932,-
600, while Georgias S fertilizer bill ran up
to S. 700, 600.
Why did Georgia pay nearly sixty
times as much as Iowa to raise each dol
lar's worth of produce? You think there
must be reason? You are wrong. That
exactly why it hurts-there is no reason.
But there is an answer. The answer
is i'll the cow-just where the fertilizer
is. The Iowa farmer returns the rich
ness to his land, the other farmers ship
it away
The entire South has a climate where
it Is rarely necessary to protect cattle
from the winter. There is an abundance
of forage and plenty of water Then
also the cottonseed, taken in connection
with cattle-raising, is the surest of all
wealth producers When bought for
fertilizer it is spread directly upon the
ground, which utiizes only small part
of its value. If the same ton of cotton
seed meal were filtered through a COW.
the droppings would contain from 90 to
9o per cent of the original fertilizing
value, while the farmer would have his
dairy products, his COW and a calf by
way of lagnappe. Cattle thrive upon
those elements of cottonseed meal that
are useless as plant food. Those ele-
ments produce meat and, milk The
COW compels the farmer to raise forage,
and enables him to raise it. She is the
mother of versitication-enemy to the
single crop and fertilizer bills.
