WEALTH IN HER WEEK-ENDs
How Widowed Society Woman Has
Managed to Make Entertaining
Pay Very Well.

Not long ago charming society
woman was thrown high and dry on
the barren shores of reduced circum.
stances by the death Of her husband,
who left her almost penniless. This
suited her not at all, so being clever
she thought and planned until she hit
upon a money-making scheme very
near affiuence. This is how she ar
rived"
A year ago she leased charming
place on Long Island. hired an eff.
cient corps Of servants, q fine chef,
stocked the larder with the best in
the market, and then sent out cards
to her friends and acquaintanees that
che was prepared to entertain them
for day or two or three, at so much
per entertainment
The idea caught on at once. With

was SO overrun that those who wished
to spend the time from Saturday TO
Monday had to make tLeir arrange.

managed affairs admirably. Every
thing was up to date. and yet inform

Her season lasted from October to
June, since when she has been taking
things easy, with plenty of money and

Easy To Avoid Divorce.

Judge Petit, of the Chicago d.
voroe Court, who has just compile
tod his annual six weeks calender,
m ade up mostly OF divorce suits,
has come to the conclusion that
parents of young married people
are largely to blame for family
troubles.
"Ths mothers-in-lsw are fore
most trouble makers" said the
Judge. Il have all reverence for
mothers and motherhood, but they
must not argue with their daugh-
ter.in-law or son-in-law, but must
realize that they are individuals
aud have their work 70 do in the
world. Mothers can give advice
when asked for it.
But summer resorts, winter re-
sorts and flat life can be blamed
for many divorces. 1t is bad for
husband and wife to be separated
by trips away from home
The Judge then gave this advice
to husbands:
Don't quote mother.
Call up your wife while at busl-
ness and ask how she is, and that
you called her up to hear her voice.
Bring her a box of candy.
One of the new books that she
is interested in.
A flower, even if it is faded and
you have picked it up off the street.
A pretty pin or handkerchief.
And don't ever lay your head on
your pillow at night without hav-
ing done something to gain and
obtain q tirmer hold on your wife s
love.
Kiss her every day.
At least once a month meet her
down town and take her to dinner
or the theatre.
Don't ever stop counting, for as
soon as you do, some other fellow
will begin.
Mako your wife your companion.
Take her out with you, aud when
you have to have big time take
your wife along, and the divorce
evil will be lessened.
For wives the judge advised.
Don't quote father.
Pet your husband; he's only
big kid. Meet him at tho door
with smile.
Dress as carefully as you did
when he came courting

CARSON MAN PURCHASES
LOVELOCK VALLEY RANCH

Another ranch sale and one which
fully demonstrates the growing faith
of investors and home seekers in Love.
lock valley lands, was consummated ed
the early part of last week when Law
renee Baseman, wealthy stock raiser
and rancher from Carson valley, pur-
chased the famous Noteware ranch
north of town from Warren Noteware.
For reasons best known to those di-
rectly interested the price involved in
the transaction is withheld at this
time. From reliable sources, however,
it is learned that the ranch brought a
higher price per acre than any sale
ever recorded in Humboldt county.
Included in the sale were 1000 shares
of stock of the Humboldt Lovelock
Irrigation, Light & Power company
The Noteware ranch embraces 800
acres and it is unquestionably one of
the very best in the entire valley 1t
is all under cultivation and is well wa
tered by a splendid system of bitches
and canals Mr.. Noteware, formerly
owner of the ranch, has had the prop
erty leased out and it has proven a
big money maker In ordinary years
and with favorable weather conditions,
the aidild crop aiohe ylelueu gross
return of something like $4,000 per
year. The place is now under lease to
C. Fransen, but when the time expires
early next spring, Mr.. Baseman will
remove his family here from Carson
valley and take up his permanent
residence on the farm.
The purchase of this ranch by Mr.
Baseman and the sale of the Pitt mill
and warehouse to Mr.. Heitman, also
~ Carson valley, has influenced many
of the people of that section of the
state to investigate the merits of this
valley and the result has been that
many smaller transactions are now
being negotiated and it is expected
that within the next month several
Nore sales will be made.-Review-

Everybody Works at National.

nesday from trip into the mining
town of National, in the northern part

He declares it one of the greatest
young camps he was ever in, and was
much impressed by it.
"There are only about 400 people in
the town, but 200 of them are at
work in the mines,' said Mr.. Don
nelly. "A number of Chicago eapi-
talists are getting in there, leasing is
booming along at a great rate, and the
camp is bristling with activity. Four

8. P. WILL CONSTRUCT
RAFT RIVER CUT OFF

Authoriged for the building of
the long planned Raft river cutoff
destined eventually to connect the
Iucin cutoff with the main line of
the Oregon Short Line al Burlev,
Idaho, thereby saving several hours
between Salt Lake and Portland, and
provi ing transportation facilities for
a territory that has long been clamor-
ing for an outlet to its vast resources,
has cen made from the Hartman of.
fees in New York. Provision for the
construction of the first leg of the
project will be included among the
1911 expenditures of the $4,000 900
Improvement appropriation.
A call for bids for the construction
of the road from Burley to Kelton, on
the old line of the Southern Pacific,
has cen issued from the offices of the
Oregon Short Line and contracts will
lie let within a few days.
Actual construction work out of Bur
ley will be started some time during
April. This part of the cut off will be
finished in 1911 and will cost several
millions. For fifty eight miles the
road VIII run through rich agricul
tural tract that has never known the
awakening influences of railroad fa-
cilities.
For years the Raft river project has
been contemplated by the Hartman
system as a possible shorter route to
the northwest from Salt Lake and,
though the present plans to build
from Burley to Kelton do not provide
Tor actual connection with Salt Lake,
it is admitted by local officials that
such cut off is the ultimate purDose
OF the road.-Herald- Republican.

HEAVY TRAFFIC ON
WESTERN PACIFIC

The Western Pacific will spend $2,-
100000 during the coming summer in
placing its road through Feather river
canyon in such condition that it will
cause no more trouble such as tied it
up during the winter.
big appropriation will be made for
reballasting the roadbed, making it
possible for engines to attain the
high speed that they are capable of
maintaining on a good road.
At Keddie, where the worst slides
were encountered last winter, it is
planned to erect monster masonry
wall to retain the snow from slip
ping down on to the tracks and carry
ing rocks and dirt with it.
As the years go by there will be lit
tie trouble in keeping the road clear at
all seasons, as loose material left by
contractors will all be disposed of.

CONFRONTED BY
SERIOUS PROBLEM

The Interstate commerce commission
is said to be in a peculiar position as
regards the cases now being argued
involving rates from the east to Reno
ond other points in the intermontain
country as compared with Pacific
coast terminal rates. Last spring the
commission decided these eases on
their merits, holding that the rates
then being charged, which are said to
be the Identical rates charged in pio-
neer days for teaming, by mules or
oxen, supplies across the mountains,
were too high. The commission pre-
pared schedules of rates which the
railroads were advised to put into
effect, but their enforcement by for
NAL orders was delayed pending the
collection of statistics showing the eff
feet of the new rates on the railroads
revenues.
These decisions were rendered before
the Mann Elkins law was passed
strengthening the long and short haul
section of the interstate commerce act.
The reduced rates suggested by the
commission to Reno and other points
were determined in and of themselves
without regard to the coast terminal
rates, because the old long and short
haul clause was of little effect The
rates suggested were higher than the
terminal rates and the commission de-
elared the rates it suggested were rea-
sonable rates. Then the law was
changed so that a greater charge for
short haul than for long haul over
the same line and in the same direc-
tion was prohibited except by special
permission of the commission. The eff
feet of this change was to put the
commission in the position, apparently,
of upholding intermountain rates
which do not conform with the new
long and short haul section. 1t is now
up to the commission to reverse its de-
cision of last spring and make the
itermediate rates conform strictly
with the law, or else grant wholesale
relief to the transcontinental roads
from the operation of the long and
short haul section.

MAKES A DIFFERENCE
WHOSE OK is GORED

Patrick O'Donnell, veteran of sever
al wars and anxious to fight again,
while listening today on the street to
a discussion of the capital punish
ment question. said
"That reminds me of the woman
who was attending the execution of
two thieves in England She evidenced
lively sympathy for the men, remark
ing: Indeed, it s a shame to hang
two such fine young men; they should
be let off with term in prison. ,
Clapping her hand on her pocket to see
if her two oshilling piece was safe, and
finding it gone, she went straight in
the air, exclaiming: Hanging is too
good for the dirty thieves; they should
be drawn and quartered.' -

M'C|LL BREAKS
WORLDS RECORD

The worlds record for production of
ore was broken on last Saturday, when
the output of the steam shovel pit of
the Nevada Consolidated reached the
enormous tonnage of $4,000 tons. This
amount of ore was not only produced
in the pit, but in the "a hours, begin
ming at six o. clock in the morning and
continuing through the hours of the
night, it was sent down the high line
TO the concentrator. To transport the
ore 13 ore trains were required. Each
train contained 2l ears, with a capaci-
ty of 55 tons In all 273 of these big
ore cars passed down the high line that
day and night; the same number of
empties being carried up the line.
Previous to this the record for the
daily output of the pit was fraction
more than 10000 tons.
Fifteen thousand tons of ore averag-
ing two per cent copper would yield
a gross tonnage of 300 tons of the
metal. At $3.50 ton, the present price
of copper on the market, this would
amount to $4,000. In the Hayes
Monette lease of the Mohawk mine at
Goldfed, thew were reputed to have
taken out $5,000,000 in eight months,
W1nch would be an average of little
over $4,000 a day. With the steam
shovel pit now averaging an output Of
10000 tons day, the gross returns
will amount to more than $4,000 a
day.
On Saturday and Sunday they were
taking out the ore from all over the
pit. The steam shovels working in
the ore are usually confined to two.
On the record day there were no less
than five shovels scooping out the
rock; only one being left to handle
the overburden. Rush orders for the
ore went from McGill early in the
morning Then it came to contest
between the railroad and the steam
shovel men; the latter declaring i'm
mediately that they could put out
more than the road could handle, and
the boast was made good. The trains
were singing along the high line all
day and night; and not an empty
train reached Copper Flat that did not
find loaded one waiting for it's crew.
At night another train crew was add
ed to the high line fleet. Another
caboose was fitted up; four trains in
all were on the run; two always go
ing and two always coming.-Copper
