FALLoN, NEVADA. WEDNESDAY. JULY s. 1911
STATE VETERINARIAN AGAIN
DIR. 1. r. Richardson Receives
Appointment from Governor
to Take Up Office Again

The abolishment of the office of state
veterinarian has resulted in proving
the great need of this functionary.
Like the old saw about the prophet
who is never without honor save in his
own country, the state veterinarian
moved along through four years of Of
fcial life, performing the various duties
Incumbent upon his office and at the
close of his official tenure, an all ignor-
ant state legislature, composed prin-
cipally of republicans, ruled the office
off the board. Now, certain conditions
have developed showing the great need
of state veterinarian, and to fulfill
the need, DIR. 7. F. Richardson, who
made an excellent record, though a
Democrat, as state veterinarian, has
been appointed by the governor to con-
tinue the functions of the office. OF
course, the Doctors pay will be depen-
dent upon relief measure in the next
legislature, but people generally, rec
ognize DR.. Richardson's worth, recog-
ni1e the fact that his services are need
ed in state wide sense and no move
that oddie can make in continuing DR..
Richardson as state veterinarian will
do aught but prove him a bigger and
broader gagged man than we have up
to the present time had any reason to
suspect him of being.

The coach which Queen Victoria pres
sented to Tom Thumb is to be sold in
New York. The gift was made in 1854.
A legend of the circus business credits
Queen Victoria with the christening of
the dwarf with the name which became
famous. He had previously been called
Tom Thump. Victoria, on seeing him,
said: Truly this is Tom Thumb" So
his surname was changed from Thump
to Thumb.
Residents of the Island district to
the number of more than one hundred,
gathered Tuesday at the Douglass
grove near the old abode house on the
Island ranch and celebrated in fitting
manner the natal day. Gaines were
INDUCED In for the benefit of the
young and old and a midday lunch, con-
sisting of the choicest viands, was ser.
we'd by the ladies of the district. The
Island is one of the county's most
promising and rapidly developing dis.
tricts, and the people who live down
that way are uniformly patriotic.
President Smith notes the change
when he says the high cost of living
discourages polygamy. While the man
with average income can support and
dress one wife, number would put
him in terrible straits. The matter
of dress was vexing problem to Pres
ident Young in the days long ago and
he declaimed against his women aping
Gentle styles, but he rounded out his
days in as much peace as could come
to a man with large income and many
wives. His followers, however, solved
it by making their helpmeets more or
less self-supporting.

Timothy ]. Morley, the McGill miner
who accidentally shot and killed his
brother Frank, mistaking him for a
burglar, about a week ago, has gone
violently insane and will be placed in
the Nevada insane asylum in Reno. He
was examined by an insanity commits
sion, and was ordered taken to Reno for
treatment in the state asylum. He
thinks that his brother believes he kill
ed him on purpose, and this thought has
made him insane. 1t is feared that he
will take his own life if not watched
constantly.

Remedy for the Squirrel Pest

Ground squirrels do considerable dam.
age at this season to growing stuff, and
inasmuch as they will not eat dry food
when they can get green, and hence are
not enticed by poisoned grain, etc., the
checking of their ravages becomes Sc
rious problem.
One man, who has four acres in beans
west of town, and has suffered corsid-
erably from the little pest, has found
carbon bisulphide the most effective
remedy. A handful of cotton is sstu-
rated with the liquid, then rammed into
the hole, which is then tamped With
dirt to prevent the escape of the fumes
Mr.. Squirrel then retires from business
ingloriously.

Pension Board for Fallon.

Word was received in Fallou the las,
of the week from United States Sena
tor George S. Nixon that a pension
board consisting of Drs. G. M. Gardner
G. L. Dempsey and G. l.. Servoss
would be appointed to serve in Fallon,
making the third in Nevada, boards
having already been established ir
Reno and Winnemucca. The credit
for the move is due largely to DR.. Ser
voss who took the matter up with Sena,
tor Nixon with the result noted. There
are large number of probable appli.
cants for government pensions who will
find Fallon of easier access than either
Reno or Winnemucca.
