this county, died in Santa Cruz,
California, last Thursday after an
illness of many months, having
been afflicted with diabetes.
The remains were shipped to
RenoIand the funeral tookrplace

VIM. Mccormick was born in
Illinois So years ago. When a
boy he joined the steady rush to

drivers on q fast freight line be-
tween Carson and the then BOOM
ing mining camp of Bodie. While
thus employed he met Ida Smith,

ley. This project will take in a.
bout 10000 acres.
It is proposed TO build dam at
the foot of the Valley to conserve
millions of gallons of water an
nually that now goes TO waste
every spriEg. 1t is estimated that
the conservation of this water will
be the means of bringing into this
state hundreds of colonists, who
will settle on the land and at once
commence the work of tilling the
soil.
As explained by Counsellor
Allen of Denver, the work will be
commenced as soon as the weather
permits, and that within a year
the hills, which up to this time
have been barren waste, will be
garden spot, and that every
line of industry would be benefit
ed by the advent of the newcomers

cation of irrigation district was

is thought that this action on
the part of thu commissioners in
this county will be followed by
those in other portions of the

SUFFRAGE

Nevada has not yet received
all the notoriety that bound to be
bestowed upon her and to cap the
climax ocmes the gratifying news
that an attempt is to be made at
the present session of the legisla-
ture to grant women the right to
vote. Behind the movement are
such men as DIR. Stubbs of the
University, Senator Syphus and
many other leading men. No fear,
wowever, is to be felt as to the
outcome even though few promi-

GRAND OPENING
TOMORRNG NIGHT

On Saturday evening, January
2Sth the new Germania Hotel and
saloon will be formally opened to
the public by its owner, H. w.
Starke. 10 make the occasion one
long to be remembered, a grand
opening has been arranged for
and the public is invited to at
attend and inspect the new
caravansary, as we'll as to eat
drink ana be merry.
The new hotel building is
substantial and imposing structure
two stories in height and built from
cement blocks and steel. No ex-
pense has been spared to make it
modern throughout. The rooms
are to be steam heated, electric
lighted and other conveniences not
always found in hotels located in
towns the size of Gardnerville.
Although the new hotel has
been christened the Germania,
the old name of Oberon dropped,
it is safe to say that the self-gained
title of Papa's Place will cling to
the place so long as the present
genial and accommodating host
continues to remain in charge.

FED ON

indian

At one time Mono county
merchant supplied his customers
with a dish not known to other
parts OF the world-corned Indian.
OF course the merchant, who was a
Chink, didn't advertise the fact
that he was handing them out
salted and saltpetred Indian, but
they absorbed the delicacy with
much gusto and paid the price,
says editor Nugen..
The inspiration was furnished
the Oriental by poker game. The
native visited the hop joint, bur-
dened with a jag, and more monsy J
than discretion. John Chinaman
and Poor Lo engaged in the great
American game of poker and be-
fore sunrise the simoleons,belon
to the heather and the redskin
possessed only a bad head and
added experience.
Finally, through the befuddled
wits Of the Indian came the knowl
edge that he had been job d, and
with it desire for revenge. Hav-
ing no firearms he grabbed a big
iron poker and proceeded to start
a hurdle over tables and chairs,
with the euebearer about two
hurdles ahead. But the gap Short
ened, the pursuer was nearing The
pursued, the fre-stirring imple-
ment had jolted the ribs of the
Chink and something had to be
done or there would be a strange
face in Chinese hell, without ad-
vance notice.
Above the door of the emporium
hung a sword, the former property
of an imperial ancestor. This the
child of mandarin laid hold of
and like warrior of old, smote
his antagonist, slit his windpipe
and made good Indian.
In the economy of the Oriental
there is no such thing as waste.
Preparing a brine the celestial
made soused or picked meat that
sold like hot cakes to all the
gourmands and epicures of the
town. But the store run out OF
meat, the Indian tribe was short a
member, the county officials got
busy and ehink was landed in
jail.
When the hearing came up a
band of Indians appeared on the
scene, carried the Chinese to the
open country, hacked him to pieces
aud feasted on Oriental hash for
week.

it will find that water sure. The old
rule was that wheat root was as
long as the stalk above the ground,
which we do not doubt is true in gra-
velly ground. If there is clay super
soil, it is not that because it will stop
at the clay; but where it has chance
it will follow down to the water, like
grape. The grape is the most marve-
lous of them all. That will go down
twenty feet to our certain knowledge
We have seen it where it has follow
ed down crevices in rocks and where
the crevices were nearly closed by
the rock on both sides, the grape
would flatten out to an inch wide and
perhaps quarter of an inch in thick
ness, and then when it got through
that, where it could have room. it
would resume its original shape.
But what we began to say was that
Nevada has much soil thus equipped
it has area enough to be the foremost
