fertilizers used this year than has
been in many.
We learn that another killing
scrap happened at Tillery last Fri
day night where two negroes got in
a dispute and one shot the other
five times and stepped out. Tillery
seems to be noted place for MUIR

escape.

The Roads to Improve First.

"a road between two important
towns, which are, perhaps, already
connected by railway or by a trolley
line, may seem to owners Of auto
mobiles to be of more Importance
than he more unitarian roads lead
ing back into the country away from
the railroad. At the risk of SEEM
ing to be officially actuated by selfish
motives, however, l will suggest
that an interurban road Of this char
acter is not the one that, generally
speaking, should receive first atten-
ton" There is just about a peck
of good hard sense in this statement
of President w. w. Fin!ey's. We
have insisted time and again, and we
wish to repeat, that it is folly to be-
gin bodybuilding with these inter-
states and from city to city" high
ways. The road you are interested in
is the one you must travel to get to
your market town, to the school
house, the court house, the church.
And these are the roads that need
first attention. Begin at the towns
and railway stations and improve
the roads that run from them out
into the neighboring country. When
these are made passable, there will
be time enough to begin talking of
the big highways" that are more
ornamental but of less practical
value. Raleigh, On. c. Progress

Will Furnish
Indians Land

Word was received this week that
had been authorized to pay W. c.
Pitt the Jun Of 5000 the considera-
ton for the sale of a tract OF land
adjoining the Indian School build
ings southwest Of Lovelock, says the
Review-Miner.
The payment Of this money marks
the successful termination of the eft
forts of several prominent Nevada
men in behalf of the Indians, c. H
Asbury, Superintendent OF the Indi-
an School at Carson, with John 1
Reid, the well-known mining man o.
Lovelock, and ably assisted by U. S
Senator Nixon, more than a year ago
secured the passage Of a bill by Con
gress authorizing the purchase of Is
acres of ground on the outskirts OF
Lovelock for the Indians.
The usual red tape of the Govern
ment has kept the Indians out OF
| their own for a long time, but now
under the able SUPPLEMENTARY O.
Professor c. H. Allander, they will
have an Indian village which will be
a credit both to Lovelock and to the
fathers Of the bill which made it pos
| sible. Il
At the present time there are about
lis Indians in the Lovelock reserva
ton and the tract of land, as soon a:
hay is harvested, will be plated anc
srtdivided so that each family vii
have its W plot of ground.

Runaway Auto
Makes Scattering

Carson has been used to runaway
horses for many years but a runaway
automobile is a new excitement
Last evening as Jim Gardner swung
into the Main street going north, his
machine suddenly took on a flying
speed. People and teams scattered
and as he came taward the depot 1t
was seen that the machine was past
ali control. Barney Oldheld would
have had a hard time catching him
Sam Plat, who by the way can go
some in his car, started after the
runaway, but there was nothing do
ing, jim had too much Roadway. 1t
was not until he reached the turn OF
the road that he remembered that he
had a switch leading to the magnetic.
He swung it off and the car came to
a stop.
1t ppears that the foot throttle
became bound and refused to work.
This shut off the hand throttle and
Jim was soon going the limit. The
harder he pressed the faster he went,
Sixty miles an hour would not have
caught him. 1t was an experience
that he hopes will not happen again,
as he not only endangered his own
life but also that OF the people along
the line.

McGUiRE'S JOYFUL MESSAGE.

Washington, d. c., Dec. 7.-Many
standpatters, but few republicans are
calling on President Taft these days
to cheer him up in the face of certain
defeat at the next national election
and possible defeat for the nomination.
The absence of the progressives at
the White House since congress con,
vened is marked and has caused wide.
spread comment. Among the standpat
republicans who took a package of
cheer with him to the White House
today was Representative Bird Nc
CURE who told the president that
he would have the solid Oklahoma
delegation at the next republican con-
vention. He also told the president
that there would be no opposition to
him whatever and if perchance there
was, it would be absolutely ineffective.
