What is Promised
For State Fair

The modernized Pain phyrotechnic
spectacle. The Last Days of Pompeii'
will be seen this year at the state
fair. Those of the general public who
have never had the pleasure of witnes-
sing one of these thrilling fireworks
exhibitions, have no conception Of
the magnitude of these displays, their
startling realism or spectacular beau
ty. They are delightful blending
of all the most popular features Of
the circus, hippodrome, spectacle,
pantomime, carnival fetes, mimic war
fare. and scenic splendor, in conjunc-
ton with most beautiful display of
the celebrated Pain firewarks.
Fully three hundred people are util
lied in this marvellous "Pompeii''
spectacle, and acres of massive seen

the historical old Roman city at the
foot of treacherous Vesuvirs.

episode depicted, and in the midst OF
the festivities occurs the terrible
eruptian of the volcano OF Vesuvius

scene cannot be described in cold
type, but its realism Is startling.
The nights performance concludes
with thousand dollar display of the
beautiful Pain fireworks, showing
aerial, aquatic and "set" pyrotechni-

Blow to State Railway Commission

Complete control of all the rail-
roads of the country by the inter-
state commerce commission and
virtual elimination of the state
commissions from such control is
overshedowed in an opinion hand
down last week by the supreme
court of the United States. The
court held that hereafter all loco
motives, cars or other equipment
used on any railroad which is a
highway of interstate commerce
must comply with the federal safe
ty appliance act.
In its opinion, the court held
that compliance with The federal
law is compulsory on all railroads
engaged in the transportation OF
persons or freight from one state
to another. Celebrating this, how
ever, it held that the cars or
equipment of such roads, even il
engaged in transportation within a
state, must be considered part and
parcel of the road and therefore
completely under the control OF
the federal commission.
Referring to the courts opinion,
Commissioner Lane declares iii
means, eventually, that there is to
be no dual control of interstate
carriers"

Monday evening about thirty
friends of H. G. Dangberg called
at his home to remind him that
he was 73 years young on that
date. Entrance was made to his
home after the male quartet, com
posed of NJ. S. Sweet, Will Nelson,
L. Jacobsen and Lyle McGinnis,
had announced their coming by
singing a few songs.
After the party had grasped the
hand of their old friend and wished
him good health and long life, he
was presented, by his brother, VIM.
with photograph of the old fami-
ly home at Minden, Germany, a
place that he had not seen since
he sailed for America, half a CEN

1743 and the photograph was Sc
cured by Mrs. H. f. Dangberg
last year when on her European
tour J. G. Larson then presented
him with an Odd Fellow emblem
as token from his fraternal
brothers. Songs were rendered by
the quartet which were greatly en-
joyed by the assemblage. Follow
ing this, delicious lunch was
served and the guests took their
departure.

would have been carried through,

INTERESTING
HISTORY TOLD

Judge Goodwin recently penned
very interesting article on the
llfe of The late Senator Stewart.
A writer in the Weekly, whom we
believe 10 be Ali Chariz, Tells of
two enterprises Of Senator over
looked by Goodwin, and since they
deal with the early history of this
Valley, they are PUBLISHED below.
The Senator, In company with
jim Morgan, built the Santiago
mill on the Carson river in 1851.
In 1863 he organized a company
in Virginia Gily to divert the
main body of the East Fork of the
Carson river by means OF a canal
10 irrigate as much land as pos
ible with it, and that would mean
from Heitman's mill to the Mex
can dam, an area capable of sup
porting n population OF at least
10 900. The canal was started
and brought down as far as the
Virginia Ranch, formerly owned
10y Chris Dangberg, and now own
ed by Richard Fricke. His
associates became disheartened
over an enterprise which they
deemed chi" erical, and 1t was
abandoned.
