DEATH OF ESTINIABLE
YERINGTON WOMAN

The sad news reached Yerington
the first of last week that Miss Iva
Mcdonald had passed away in San
Francisco on the 26th of last month.
Miss Mcdonald had been in San
Francisco about a month under a
doctors care and had been quite all
for a couple of weeks before leaving
Yerington with her mother, Mrs.
Clara Ruyle. Miss McDonald's trou-
bic was heart failure. She, with
her mother, had been a resident of
Yerington for a couple of years,
and during that time had made
many warm friends, who deeply re-
gret her being called from them
at an age in life when all should
have been brightest.
Miss Iva Beulah Mcdonald was
born at White Rock, Kansas, on
November 4, 1883. She leaves a
mother Mrs Ruyle. of this place,
and sister, Mrs. race Elliott, OF
Ohio, who have the sympathy of a
host of Yerington friends

CROPS FAST DECREASING.

Crops are fast decreasing in yield
and farmers must do something to
stop this. They apply phosphorus
and potassium, and yet the fields
do not reach the amounts originally
received Logically the next thing
to do is to add nitrogen to the
soil, either in commercial form or
in the form legumes. but still the
yields are below expectations. The
farmer then begins to think seri-
ously Of what to do next. This
ends in his deciding to try an APP
plcation of the much "touted" lime,
and he is agreeably surprised to
find his yields increased very ma
terially

STUDY TO PREVENT cRop LOSS.

Many of the short crops result
from poor management While it
is impossible entirely to escape the
effects of freakish weather or the
insects and fungus enemies OF the
crops, it is possible to dull the
force of natures blows and 70 in
tensify her benefits. The most Inn
portant problems of crop production
pertain to the conservation of fer
tility, moisture and good filth in
the soil. Suitable crops and spe-
cial varieties must be chosen for
certain climatic and soil conditions
Seed must be treated for some
diseases, and the crops may be
sprayed or safeguarded in other
ways to protect from other enemies.
And on every farm the soil must
be fed through livestock or else by
the direct application of fertilizers.
II is unlikely that this year will
be patterned after the one Just
closed, but it may present adverse
conditions in other particulars

negro DECLARES
HE'S RAINMAKER
OFFERS 10 SAVE SACRAMENTO
FARMERS AT FIFTY PER
FARMER.

SACRAMENTO. March g. ~ For
only so cents from each raneher in
Sacramento county the original
Ethiopian rainmaker, Bird Richards.
descendant of line of official rain
makers Of ancient tribes in darkest
Africa, will darken the skies of
the valley with real rain clouds,
which will pour upon the thirsty
ground enough moisture to make
the earth bud and blossom, and
farmers to thrive. Verify will the
drought be pierced to the very
roots. A"
Bird means business. As soon as
he gets some money coming to him
he will take out license from
the county clerk-a rainmaker's IL
cense.
Bird was robbed several nights
ago by two other negroes. Since
then he has been sleeping in
yard cell at the city jail, for he
had no money Saturday night as
he was about to retire, he re-
vealed his plans to Sergeant Hig-
gins and Patrolman Mckinney.
The farmers needed rain, he said,
and rain-making was a part of his
business. If County Clerk Pfund
would collect just so cents from
every farmer in the county he would
have the needed moisture. No
money no rain no rain, no
money.
Way back in the dark ages, in
a tribe in Africa, lived Richards
forefathers. From father to son
was handed down the official recipe
for making rain when needed None
of the voodooism invoked by his
predecessors is needed by Richards.
He prays for rain, and rain does
come, and only just enough.
Tomorrow Richards will apply for
his rainmaker's license, and then he
will propose his plan to the farmers

TRAIN FLAGGED
BY GHOSTLY
CONDUCTOR

ID strange, indeed, that IN cool
calculating world like at this day
and age Of civilization and Chris
tianity that there are some to be
found who actually lend credenee
to fables and stories of hobgoblins.
Ely is not an exception to this
rule, according TO reports, and many
OF her residents, within the past few
nights have wandered to the ceme-
terry to be convinced of the pres
ence there of a ghost"
As the story goes. which origin
ated in the mind of one of the
railroad men on the suburban
trains, ever since the former con-
ductor on the road, each evening
when passing the Ely cemetery, saw
"a ghost carrying railroad green
lantern, and signalling the train, ap-
pears in the same place at the
cemetery, Not thoroughly convinced
that he was laboring under an op-
teal Illusion, or a wonderful stretch
Of the imagination, he told the
story to other trainmen; they are
also said to have seen the some
phenomena and in turn told of the
wonderful sight to others.
Hearing of the strange occurrence,
a number of people have visited the
cemetery the past few nights TO
witness the scene Stories related
by some of these have the ring OF
FABLES written in the days of Solo
mon; so complete was their illusion,
and so wonderful their Imagination
that, not only the glimmer. of the
lantern was seen, but images, in the
most hideous conceivable forms
bearing no relation to man or beast
were also observed perambulating
the grounds So convinced were
some that there was animation. spir.
itual or otherwise, in these mental
Illusions, that they feared TO enter
the grounds, and satisfy themselye,
of their non-existence.
However, laying aside all fables

tionably reflected in the Gem.
etery grounds by heat waves, per.

green lantern, which, at times. ow-
ing to the density of the atmosphere
and climatic conditions, is more
apparent than at others. This sight
