is true that one child had the dseas
and recovered before physician wa
notified He found the child appar
emily cured and Immediately funligat
| ed the place. A day or so after TIL
fumigation another child came dow
with the disease The quarantin,
| was then established. In the mean
time the child convalescing was al
lowed to mingle with other children
/ The father went to work regularl,
and if the germ is not widespread i
is not the fault OF human neglect, te
say the least.
The whole thing run down to blacl
sand is that parents have not taker
due precaution. The disease has beer
shielded instead of given publicity
and half the youngsters in this city
have been exposed to the malady.
In the case of smallpox on ship
board the passengers are held in
strict quarantine for twelve days, this
being the length of time the disease
manifests itself. This is the precau-
ton taken by people who handle and
fear the disease.
Dr. Gree, in speaking of this and
other health matters, stated that the
parents of many children had been
exceedingly careless. This city has
an epidemic of whooping cough that
is running wild. The youngsters have
been allowed at all public gatherings
Children have transmitted the dis
ease to others and in turn have hand
ed it to their parents Half the town
is suffering with this aggrivating and
objectional cough.
There is no provision made to
quarantine or prevent the children
from attending public gatherings and
this lack Of power on the part of the
county physician has made deplor-
able condition.
Carson City in the main is regarded
as one of the healtlliest towns on the
Coast. 1t can be kept in this same
class with proper health precautions.
From the scare that has taken hold
since theairing of conditions 1t IS
not likely that any further careless
ness will be tolerated on the part OF
parents. Neglect certainly has run
its limit.

LUMBER RATE CASE
IN HANDS OF JUDGE
Interesting Points Raised By Both
sides in Federal Court

II sustained it will greatly curtail the
1 power of the State Railroad Commis-
| sion, for in numbers of cases the fix
ing of local rate will have some eff
| tect upon instertate rates, both
classes of traffic being more or less
intimately connected.
To both parties, the railroads and
the Commission, representing the
people, the question is one of SUI
preme Importance, and the attorneys
for the roads and Judge Bartine on
behalf of the Commission put forth
their utmost efforts. Judge Bartine's
argument consumed the greater por-
ton OF two days and covered the case
IN every conceivable aspect. Attor-
ney-General Baker, Commissioner
Shaughnessy and Secretary Walker
were present and rendered valuable
aid in the case. The data on behalf
of the roads was prepared by the ex-
perts in their employ, while the Com
missioners' statistics were compiled
by Commissioner Shaughnessy and
Secretary Walker.
Whichever way the case is decided
1T will doubtless be appealed to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
for it is felt that the constitutional
question raised should be settled by
the highest court in the laand.
Both sides confess confidence in
the outcome but Judging from the re-
suits of former proceedings, the Ap-
peal inclines strongly to the belief
that the Commissioners will win, al
though of course, it cannot change a
principle of constitutional law
Judge Bartine was allowed twenty
days in which to file a brief.

Several days ago an appointment
was made between Warden Baker

County Commissioners, when they
were to talk over the proposed re-
pairs to the roads leading to Lake
Tahoe The work to be done by the

Baker this morning.
AT the outset Mr. Baker told the
Commissioners OF the work that is
to start Immediately between Lake
View and Reno. The road to be us

will be gone over by a crew OF men
who will fix all the chucks and other
bad places. They will follow this up
with substantial road work that ,s
aimed to be permanent This will
make one of the finest all round and
useful roads in Nevada

road as proposed is to be 10 feet wide

plenty OF turnout room. Mr.. Baker
as well as the commissioners. were
of the opinion that this road should
be the adopted one. 1t will make 1t
possible for autos to negotiate this

times and there should be no inter

The First Glass the First
Step.

There is down in the depths of nv
heart a sadness for the youths who
have taken the irst glass of intoxi-
eating liquor, and thus made the first
step towards destruction, influenced
by the thought that to indulge only in
a glass of wine once in a while or to
play a game of cards now and then
just for fun, there would no harm
come from it. Thus persuaded in
their minds, they imagine they are so
firm and strong that they will control
their appetites for strong drink, and
that they would not be led off by only
slight indulgence.
But this supposed innocent indul-
gence has its deadly influence to call
for one step after another until they
find themselves seated at the gambling
table in some den of vice, or calling
for Intoxicating drinks at the bar of
some ]oathsome, filthy saloon, filled
with the fumes of tobacco smoke and
the very atmosphere they breathe la
don with the poisonous odor Of whisky
and other drinks, and listening to the
%sickening oaths and obscene language
coming from the lips of it's drunken
inmates.
60 with that sad, broken-hearted
mother to the door of yonder felon's
cell, behold the tottering form,
swollen and bloated features of a mis-
cradle wreck of humanity she still
calls by the e%ndearing name of son,
who was C strong and vigorous,
and felt himself just as secure as you
do, and had started in the busy field
OF life to battle bravely; but the temp
ter was to powerful and he was per-,
suaded to take the first glass, and SON
sequently his bright young life was
blighted, and his heart vas filed with
shame. Feeling he was now degraded
and disgraced, ruined forever, and it
was now to late he had fallen so low,
he made no effort to reform, but con
tinued to drink day after day. year af-
ter year, without one intelligent eff ort
to free himself of this horrible habit.
This picture is not overdrawn. 1t
seldom fails to follow the first glass.

Agricultural Topics

Dry Farming Congress.

acres of land into cultivation sums up
the Dry Farming Congress. This
land is located in regions that have
been c%onsidesed as having too small a
rainfall for crop production.
The introduction of methods of Gull
ture that will make this tremendous
are productive will be the e%quiyent
of discovering a new continent that
has, rs much tillabe land as is now un-
der cultivation in the world. 1t is
even better than discovering such a
new continent as these lands are along
lines of RAILROAD that lead to manu-
featuring and commercial centers- but
little pioneering is needed in this
agriculture.
Why not more hurrah? When the
North Pole was discouered the world
went wild, yet it added not one foot to
the worlds productive area. Here is
a gathering of men who are doubling
the worlds product area-they are
Columbuses-but because they are
practical farmers and scientists work
ing out things in our very midst their
work does not attract the attention
that it would if they crossed cas- or
we'll nigh impossible barriers and
found entirely new lands.
LAST YEARS CONGRESS. The
Dry Farming Congress that assembled
at Spokane last year had fifty-tive
speakers, representing practically
every country that has dry farming
territory. II was inspiring as we'll
as instructive to listen to men from
Russia, Africa, France, Mexico, South
America, Canada and other countries
as we'll as from the different states of
the Union giving their experiences in
trying out our dry farming methods
methods and relating their own inves-
LEGATIONS and observations.
THIS YEARS CONGRESS-. The
Dry Farming Congress which meets
October 16 to 20 at Colorado Springs,
will. under the leadership of j. e.
Worst, President, n John II. Burns,
Executive Secretary, bring together
an even larger number of men, the
worlds best experts in dry farming.
The women will have a Dry Farming
Congress of their own, which holds it's
meetings, October II, II and 18th.
Dry Farming Exhibits. There will
also be exhibits of dry farming crops,
for which prizes will be offered. The
exhibits at the last Dry Farming Con-
gress made a wonderful demonstration
of the possibilities and opportunities
in sections with small rainfall.
Dry Farming more control of nature.
Dry Farming is bringing new factors
in nature under control just as the use
of steam and electricity meant the
control and use of new forces. At
first people did not believe that the
locomotive or steam boat would move,
but they did, and now carry the worlds
commerce, likewise it is hard to real
ize the extent to which moisture can be
controlled and what a small amouot
of it al do. The Dry Farming Con-
gress is the best place to see it demon
strated. Here one can hear the men
foremost in this work as we'll as see
the products that they have produced.
An opportunity that should not be
missed. Nowhere else can one get
such a focus of the worlds best thnt
and practice in dry farming.
