FORTUNE IN ONIONS

Mr.. Edward C. Dodd, a lawyer of
Laredo, Texas, on dying left to his
widow a tract of chaparral-covered
land which he had earned as fee.
The ground was thought to be worth
less, and there was pity for the poor
widow. She rode out one day to see
the ground, which was situated a lit
tie distance from Loredo, and she
made up her mind that it would raise
a good crop of onions. She made
contract with farmer to clear seven
ty acres and plant them in big Ber-
muda onions, he to have for his pay
a share in the crop. The first year
Mrs. Dodd cleared $4,000; the next
year she planted more extensively,
but the heavy rains left her $1,000
loss for the year. She took part OF
her $4,000 and built warehouses for
storing the onions and saving them
from softness and ruin by the rain.
The next years crop was a failure
from want of rain. The year follow
ing she installed an irrigating plant
driven by electricity, and the profit
on her crop two years ago was $780,
900. Last year it amounted to the
princely sum of 100000. Mrs Dodd
was formerly a school teacher. She
Possesses great intellectual force and
dissemination. The mixing OF her
brains with the soil made handsome
fortune for her.-Sanford Herald.

THE CHORUS GIRL

The chorus girl is the finest and
least important cog in the whole
theatrical machine. There are so
many of us, that we don't count as
an individual There are hundreds of
girls, newer, fresher, younger than
we are, ready to take our places. A
tide of youthful girlhood is always
sweeping into Broadway
Shall l say it is all tragedy?
A girl who enters the chorus soon
finds that all who enter must leave
hope behind The girl who makes
good and becomes a prima dona, is
infinitely rare Talent counts only 10
per cent Loks count the other 80
per cent. Looks count the other 90
are gone. What can a girl do then?
A few l have known married, but
they always find their way back to
the white lights.
Fame is what the chorus girl seeks.
But her career is so full of uncer-
tainties that she becomes discouraged
and hopeless. She finds out that
fame too often goes hand-in-hand
with what the old-fashioned folks
back at home would call ruin. She
becomes the prey of beasts in human
and male form, who seek not only
her person but also her money. She
is not respected; she is only tiny
dot.
Why, only the other day IS chorus
girls rehearsed a piece for five weeks
in New York, on no pay. At the end
of that time the manager told them
he wasn't going to put on the piece
and dismissed them all, without even
saying thank you. They were only
chorus girls.

There is a manager right here in

And yet this manager took back the

One theatrical agent in New York
recently got the names of many mus
ic teachers in outside towns. He
wrote to them, asking them to send
him the names of their most promis-
ing girl pupils He received a big list
and wrote to the unsuspecting and
ambitious girls asking them If they
didn't want jobs on the stage. Of
course they did. He got scores OF
them to come to New York. He got
a commission from the board which

give her jewels and dresses.
This dosen't mean all chorus girls,
YOU understand. Some of them seem
to be able to suffer and to stand dis
appointment and temptation.

came known that a new gas COM
pany had asked franchise to
provide dollar gas.
Here Is an answer from Attor-
ney A. r.. Titlow as regards Sena-
tor Rydstrom's talk about recent
enactment of a public utilities
commission:
First. The act is not in force
and will not be for some time and
the matter of gas rates can all be
adjusted before the act goes into
effect as there is no emergency
clause to 1t.
Second. That the city has in
herent power to fix rates and 1t
simply would be concurring with
any such legislative act as Rdy-
strom, the senator, speaks of.
Third. That as far as the water
plant is concerned a reduction to
just one-third of the rates of what
we are paying now could be made
as the small consumer ON a meter
is paying Just three times as much
as they are paying In Seattle.
The act can apply in no sense
whatever as the city could give

EDITOR Times:
Would you deem 1t advisable to
use this appeal to the women OF
Tacoma?
Having voted and worked ear
|nestly that the franchise which
men have used, and abused for so
many years, should be granted to
you, it grieves me to see you so
badly misled in the present politi-
cal contest. The contest is not be-
tween Mayor Fawcett and w. w.
Seymour.
Mrs. Shores was quite right
when she said, Docks and money
and business we're not of as much
value to Tacoma as the moral ques-
ton which was to be decided by
this election. Clean up the city.
Sure! But begin at the source
of immoral power, which is the
commissioner of public safety in
the city and prosecuting attorney
in the county.
Give me these two officers and
I can clean both city and county,
no matter who the other officers
are. Which looks the more moral,

sired.
Fourth. That in granting a new
franchise to any company, and
the city is the only one that could
grant a new franchise, It could
make one condition of that fran
chise that its rates could never
exceed the sum of rs cents or
$1.00 per 1000 feet for gas,
which would not only be binding
upon the company getting that
franchise but would compel the
now existing company to lower It's
rates to the same figure.
Fifth. Even II 1t were all true
what the senator claims, as quot
ed, for the act, then all the more
necessity would be shown for
having a fighting mayor to make
the application before the board;
and mayor that actually repre-
sents the people to make the ap-
p1ication before the board to get
a reduction and not let 1t go to
the consumer to make a fight.
1t seems they are now badly hurt.

trap as is readily seen by these
points.

MIGHELS INJURED
WHILE HUNTING

The Humboldt Star has the fol-

Philip. Verrill Mighels, famed
throughout the United States and
Great Britain as a short story writ
er, met with an accident which
came near resulting in his death
while hunting quail yesterday morn
ing near the Bliss ranch, u miles
east of Winnemucca.
Mr.. Mighels and George D. Bliss
left the ranch about o'clock yes
terday morning on a quail hunting
expedition. About thre miles from
the ranch they flushed a covey of
quail and Mr.. Mighels wounded one
of the birds. As the bird was
fluttering on the ground Mr.. Mighels
attempted to strike it with the butt
of his gun and the weapon was dis
charged. The charge of shot struck
the unfortunate hunter in the right
side Mr.. Bliss, who was some
distance away at the time, ran to
where Mr.. Mighels was and did
everything possible for him in the
way of first aid He then fastened
to the ranch and telephoned here
for DR.. Giroux, who left for the
scene at once by auto. In the
meantime Mr.. Bliss and others of
the ranch went by team to where
Mr.. Mighels was lying and did ev-
erything possible for him until the
arrival Of DR.. Giroux, who dressed
and bandaged the wound
The wounded man was then
placed in the automobile and taken
to the ranch and then brought to
Winnemucca in the machine, arriv-
ing here in the afternoon.

NATIONAL ELIMINA-
TED FROM RESERVE

The Winnemucca. Silver State is
in receipt of a wire from Congress
man Roberts, which states that upon
recommendation of the district for
ester and supervisor, Mr. Blakeslee,
400 acres have been eliminated
from the Santa Rosa national forest
reserve. This territory embraces
the townsite of National.
On April ! of this year President
Taft issued a proclamation Great
ing the Santa Rosa forest reserve.
and on the ! 9Th Of the same month,
W. w. Blakeslee, who had been
deputy supervisor of the Humboldt
reserve, with headquarters at Elko,
arrived and assumed charge of the
new reserve. 1t was then' discoy-
cred that the town of National was
included within the limits of the
new reserve, and immediate steps
were taken by citizens of the great
camp to have their town eliminated.
A mass meeting was called, which
was presided over by Judge Shea.
and a committee composed of the
chairman, T. d. Defenbaugh and
\. p. r. Hatch, circulated petit
ton at National and Winnemucca
which was generally signed, and
which was forwarded to Senator
Nixon at Washington by wire. A
this place the committee was abb!
seconded in its work by Ed Rein
hart and other local business men
Although there was never an!
doubt as to the town being elm
mated from the reserve, there wa
a question as to how much would
be taken out. BY the elimination
of 400 acres, the wishes of tn,
most radical citizens have evidentl,
been complied with.

to incur a debt for that. But
presently people came-in motor
cars then more came. Somebody
discovered that the land along the
highways was good land. 1t had

because it had not been titled it
