SITUATION ALARMING.
Hog Cholera in Mason Valley Has
Carried Off 1000 Head.

DIR. T. F. Richardson, state veterina-
rian, returned Saturday from a trip to
Mason valley. where he went at the in
stance of the Governor. who desired
that the hog cholera situation in the
valley be thoroughly investigated and
remedial measures taken to prevent
further decimation of the bands of
swine in Lyon county.
DR.. Richardson says the situation
there is alarming that approximately
1000 hogs have succumbed to the dis
ease, the origin of which is not known,
but was presumably imported with new
stock from the East, and that it exists
all over Mason valley. He is now await
ing further orders from Gov. Oddie,
who will probably direct the doctor to
inoculate the hogs which have thus far
escaped the cholera with serum that
renders them immune from attacks of
the disease.
Some attempts are being made to
keep the individual losses a secret, but
certain individual hog-raisers have lost
as high in some instances as 200 hogs,
and unless the disease is promptly
checked determination of the hog-rais-
ing industry in Lyon county seems
probable.

RESTORED TO PUBLIC ENTRY
Seven Farm Units on This Pro-
ject that Are Again Open to
the Live Homesteader.

Project Engineer d. w. Cole has been
advised officially Of the restoration to
homestead entry of seven farm units
within this project, as follows
E and A, section "a, I. 20 NJ, r. "a
g.. the first of so irrigable acres, the
latter of 80.
A and h, section 80, T. 20 NJ, r. 26
E. each of 81 irricahle acres.
B and E, section 8, I. 19N., r. 90 E.
each containing 80 irrigable acres.
A. section l3, I. Is ~, r. 28 E., con-
tanning as irrigable acres.
This land is subject to entry under
The amended homestead act, and water
will be charged for at the rate of $50
per acre.
The estimated cost of putting this
land in cultivation is from $l2. 80 to $50
Der acre, and homeseekers who come
within the next few days should find
these entries all attractive propositions.
Their restoration came about as a re-
suit of endeavors on the part of the
local project officials to straighten out
plat upon which they worked for sew
eral years. Concerned in this order
from the department is a further des-
gnation that water rights held in abey-
ance for as long as five years Through
red tape methods) should be allowed at
the old rates. In one instance home
steader whose water right is now al
Owed has offered final proof as to resi-
ience and cultivation.

COAL SCARCE OVER THE STATE
And a Famine is Feared in Some
Places--Fallon Has a Normal
Supply on Hand.

1--WE have shipments arriving regu-
larly and there is not likely to be any
shortage in the local coal supply for
some time to come, anyway" was the
opinion of the local fuel dealers,
when asked as to the probability of a
famine in Fallon. There is no need
of alarm over the outlook"
The question came up on account of
advices from other parts of the state
that coal famine was imminent par
ticularly is this true of southern Neva-
da. In Tonopah, for instance, there is
a scant three weeks supply. Retailers
assert that shipments from the mines
are slow, and the mine-owners claim
they are unable to get enough cars to
meet the demand.
The railroad people, however, claim
that all the cars required by the mines
are being filled on time, and that the
coal is being moved on usual running
time. The railroad people assert that
any shortage in the coal supply is due
to conditions brought about by the deal
ers and mine operators themselves, and
cannot be charged to the railroads. 1t
is pointed out that coal is being moved
daily, and that there is prac tically none
standing on the sidetracks.
And, anyway, il the Fallon resident
cannot burn coal he can do the next
best thing-and that is to burn wood.

POTATO GROWERS TO ORGANIZE
System Of Spud Inspection to be
Arranged, to Offset CaEifor-
MIA Potato Quarantine.

Potato growers of Churchill county
will be interested in a movement now
being agitated in Reno and around Car
son 10 form an association of the spud
producers of the state, with a view to
establishing and guaranteeing a system
of potato inspection that will satisfy
the demands of the existing California
embargo on Nevada-grown spuds.
There are 1000 carloads of potatoes. it
is estimated, in northern Nevada await
ing shipment, and practically all are
expected to be sold in California. At
lowest figures this crop is worth $500 a
carload, or 81 600, 900.
In other words, the failure Of the
last Legislature to provide for a system
of potato inspection that would satisfy
the California buyers Is liable to cost
the growers of this state a considerable
portion of cool million dollars. Some
more legislative asininity!
A year ago the eel worm made its
appearance in small acreage near
Dayton which had been planted to Cali
fornia seed, and a carload Of potatoes
that was shipped from there to San
Francisco was sent back. The grower
then shipped them to Los Angeles, from
which city they were again returned.
California got angry then and said it
would not use Nevada potatoes again
until they were inspected and found
free from the eel worm. This despite
the fact that the pest bad not appeared
in any other portion of the state. The
last Legislature was exhorted to pro-
vide means Of inspection that would
be satisfactory to California, but only
a makeshift resulted.
Now it is proposed for the potato
growers of the state to provide this in
spection themselves.

A TALE OF TRIED FRIENDSHIP
and Pythias" to be Pic
torially Presented Under the
Auspices Alpine Lodge.

Ancient Greece, out of which has
come so much that has made for the
civilization and uplifting of man. has
afforded the most striking example of
human friendship portrayed in all his
tory. The friend that is willing to sac
rifce his life for his attachment surely
gives enough evidence of the sincerity
of his sentiments.
The story of Damon and Pythias is
almost as old as writteo, authentic his
tory. Damon, under sentence of death
by the tyrant of Syracuse for polit-
ical crime, wishes to visit his family
before his death, and his wish is grant
ed when his friend Pythias agrees to
take his place in prison and suffer the
punishment if Damon does not return.
The arrangement is assented to, but
when the day of execution arrives Da-
mon is delayed Pythias, uncomplain-
ing, perfectly willing to lay down his
life for his friend, is led out to execu-
tion, but just as the fatal axe is to fall
Damon hales in sight. The tyrant, then,
overcome by such an example Of endur-
ing friendship, pardons Damon and re-
wards Pythias.
On this story was founded, half
century ago, the great fraternal order
of the Knights of Pythias, and the local
lodge of the order, Alpine No. "a, has
made arrangements with Messrs jew
EFT and Fitzgerald, of the Unique thea
ter, to illustrate this striking and pa
thetic tale from Greek history with
two magnificent films. poftrsying the
story in full detail, on Thanksgiving
night. The occasion will be an event in
local Pythianism. The public as well
as all members of the order, are invited
to attend the performance. Following
the show banquet will be served at
New River hall.

CHAS. H. HOOVER BUYS
THE JAS. E. BRISTOL RANCH

James E. Bristol sold the $4O0-acre
Old river ranch to Charles M. Hoover,
the deal being completed Saturday.
The consideration involved in the deal
was not made public. The property is
an excellent holding, and carries vested
water right to the amount of 60 acres.
Mr.. Hoover is already negotiating for
the leasing of the property for term
of years.
He made the purchase with the firm
belief in mind that all local farming
land must advance substantially in
value with the passing of few years.
Mr.. Bristol, whose advanced years has
not allowed his working the place for
some time, will make his home on the
coast.

Now Is The Time To Pay Up.

Next Monday is the last day on which
payments for taxes can be made, for
according to law, unpaid taxes becoms
delinquent on that date. In order to
accommodate the taxpayers of the coun-
ty, c. w. Foote, who is the assistant
county treasurer, will keep the bank
open Saturday afternoon until four
O'Clock. so that all who wish can avail
themselves of the opportunity to con-
tribute their tax stipend to the county
fund.
Taxpayers generally do not wish to
be listed as delinquents. for consider
able extra charge will follow, but there
are many who absent mindedly allow
the matter to drag along to their incon-
venience as well as the treasurer's.

DELIVERING BEETS TO FACTORY
Growers Are Busy Now---How
Laboratory Tests Are Made
AN Opening Day.


The first wagoDload of homegrown
beets was received at the sugar factory
the other day. They were grown by
I. j. Cutler, of the Bailey ranch, and
went 1S.4 per cent sugar and 1874
purity-an exceptional showing for
any locality, and proving conclusively
that this section, as regards soil, eli
mate and water, is well adapted to the
culture of the beet. A showing of II
per cent sugar is regarded as pretty
good back east. The carload of beets
recently received from the Percival
ranch at Reno, however, went even
higher in sugar, testing 1877 saccharine
content.
S.R. .Oppenheim who with an assistant
does all the laboratory work at the fac
tory, is one of the best men in his line
in the West. He makes test of every
wagonload of beets that is driven up
to the factory and of every carload re-
ceived from the railroad. The method
of making this test is quite interesting.
When the wagon is driven up to the
platform fork is plunged into the
load of beets from the side, and the
sample is taken by raising the fork
from the bottom of the wagon. The
fork takes up about 25 pounds of beets.
These are put in basket and labeled.
and taken to the laboratory. In max
ing the test slice is taken from each
beet in the basket. The test is con-
elusive by the time the chemist is
through with his end of the job.
The factory will begin making sugar
some time after the Goth of December
the exact date not being set yet.
They are talking of serving lunch in
celebration of the occasion, to which
not only all the residents of the valley
will be invited but particularly all the
newspaper men of the state. It is
proposed to put up 1000 small souvenir
sacks of sugar as mementoes of the
occasion, labeled Compliments of Ne
vada Sugar Co.," and distributed to
the guests of the occasion.
''We are not worrying any about the
future of the sugar industry in this
section" remarked one of the COM
pany officials to the Standard man the
other day. 'The results of the first
seasons run will be SO satisfactory to
the growers here-from the fact that
the sugar content will be so great
that next year every farmer in the
valley will want to put out some ground
to the sugar beet. This region will
make wonderful showing in this
industry"

Daughter of ]. Lazano Badly Burned

Little Dolores Lazano, the infant
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J, Lazano,
yesterday met with painful accident
in the Lazauo home in Hill street, and
is today suffering much pain, but it is
though that she is out of all danger,
says the Reno Gazette.
The baby was playing in a room
where there was hot stove, and when
near the stove slipped and fell. She
threw her hands out to save herself
and thrust them against the hot stove.
One side of her face also struck the
stove and was bhstered.
The mother, hearing the screams,
ran in and rescued the child and hur-
riedly called a physicien. The burns
were dressed and it is not thought that
they will leave scars. Had the baby
not thrust her hands out in front of
her she would have had her face ter
ribly burned, but as it is the face was
not burned very seriously.

sHoRT.LIvED FREEDOM.
Convict Nabbed by Officer As He is

Dick O'Connor, convict sent to the
Nevada penitentiarY from this county
on Nov. %. 1910, to serve a term Of
one year and two months for burglary
committed in Hazen. was released from
the penitentiary at Carson the other
day, having served his term, but his
freedom was of short duration. In fact,
it had hardly started before it ended.
The man had just stepped from the
prison doors when W. Christie. parole
officer of Illinois, placed him under ar
rest for breaking a parole back there
and snapped handcuffs upon MIN. He
later took him back to Joliet to serve
his unexpired term.
O'Connor was serving a term in the
Illinois psnitentiary at Joliet for bur-
glary committed in DuPage county
when he was paroled. He failed 70 re-
main in the state, but came to Nevada
and here got into trouble. One day he
remarked something about having
served time in Illinois, and now, as a
result OF that remark, ne has gone back
to serve out his original prison SEN

HE HAD A LOAD ON
And Chose the Corinthian Club to
Sleep 1t Off.

One fine exhibition of real forty
rod jag disturbed the members of the
Corinfhiaa club Thursday noon. The
man who carried it with poor grace
was found peacefully ensconced in one
of the bedrooms of the club building,
disrobed and beneath the coverlets,
communing with Morpheus, whose hold
over the individual was as good as If a
pound of morphine had been his por-
ton rather than a dozen drinks of red
liquor. No sort of persuasion could in
duce the individual to redress and get
out, so the services of the president,
the clubs most useful functionery,
were invoked. In this instance, it hap
pened to be County Sheriff j. c. Con-
iff, who in lieu of the bed appropri-
ated gave the drunk quarters at the
jail, where he Immediately shut his
eyes and passed off into sunderland.
The club rooms are supposed to
serve a multitude of purposes; some of
the members eat there, while others
lodge in the rooms overhead the read
ng rooms, but heretofore we presumed
that some discrimination was used in
selecting those who are to be accorded
club privileges. If every Tom, Dick
and Harry carrying extraordinarily
heavy loads of forty-rod are to be al
lowed to pass unobseryed into the In
nermost recesses of the club building
and deposit themselves with nonchal-
auce in spots that should be sacred to
club members alone, then we move

PLANTING FALL WHEAT.
Does Well in Nevada and Makes the
Best Flour.

Last year H. Luhrs sent to the state
of Kansas for 500 pounds of fall wheat
to test its worth in this locality. The
wheat was planted last fall, and the
test proved that the climatic conditions
of this section are particularly adapted
to the growing of fall wheat. The Kan
sas product matured in fine shape, Civ
ing heavy yield of hard, full kernels,
equal, if not superior, to the imported
seed.
Acting upon the success of the ex-
pertinent, Fritz Luhrs, who is farming
an SO-acre tract in TIE Haybourn dis
trict, has just completed seeding forty
acres of his land to fall wheat, and the
outcome will be keenly watched, and it
seems probable others will follow the
example of Mr.. Luhrs.
1t is claimed that this wheat makes
better flour, and thus demands higher
price, than summer wheat. Gardner.
