ARTES|AN
WELL IS
DEVELOPED.
Another Flow Struck
Near Minden

Carson Valley is waking up to
the fact that it is inside a great
ar'esian belt, which will assist IN
the irrigation of that section III
the future. Some time ago the
Dangbergs secured "a fine well
which flows nearly 100 inches OF
water A pumping plant is now
established and the well is MAX
ing good. Several other large
flows have been encountered as
suring more water for the dis
trict.
Yesterday at the George Han
low farm. three miles north Of
Gardnerville on a reclaimed see
ton Of land, a fine flow was
brought in. The well flows $50
gallons a minute and was opened
at a depth Of 2S4 feet.

On the sagebrush at this side of
GardnerviIle, it means much for
the development Of the section
which is out of the development
o. the ditch irrigation line. The
cost of this fine well has been less
than $500.

Mr.. Poujade occupied the floor
the best part of the evening.
Many cheers greeted them IN
their utteranceS for the new par
ty. The question of adopting a
platform took up a lot of time. 1t
was finally decided to defer ac-
ton until the meeting on the 10th
when a platform will be adopted.
A platform committee consisting
of j. Poujade. John Chartz and
George Gibson was named.
A platform had been prepared
ahead Of time and after several
motions it was read. but only as
an expression Of the sentiment Of
the members. 1t is pretty warm
article, condemning both the old
parties, and especially the Re
publican party for the theft of
the nomination from Roosevelt.
A question for raising funds
followed and committee consist
ing Of the officers and four mem
bers were named. being Tom Hei-
denreich, George Springmever,
Art Movers and Joe Mccarthy.
When the meeting was called
to order the room was well filed. |
There was more than usual en-
thnsiasm and the new party is
out to cut some ice. as could be
seen last night.
The real meeting will take
place on the 10th when nomina-
tions will be made. Bv that time

W. |. DOUGLAS TRUST PLAN
Manufacturer Thinks Government
Should Obtain Publicity by
License System.

Large business organizations have
come to stay. We cannot go back to
old conditions. We must meet world
competition. Large concerns can pro-
duce goods at lower cost than small
ones. Germany favoTs large corpora
lions. The method of the present ma
tlonal administration Is to dissolve
the great organizations and make
them smaller which is a backward
step. There should be no limit to a
corporation doing large and legiti-
mate business, such as would be pos
sible under the licensing plan which
l favor, writes W. L. Douglas, former
governor of Massachusetts. in the
Boston Herald.
Prejudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps.
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper
product and thus benefit the consum-
er. They give opportunities to small
investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at
all. but who receive handsome sal
aries for their ability and service.
In place of the Sherman law 1t Is
my opinion there should be departs
ment at Washington to grant licenses
to all manufacturers and corporations
in this country who do an interstate
commerce business
The law should be made so clear,
plain and definite that It could not be
misunderstood It should require all
capital to be paid in full, Semi-yearly
statements should be given to the
public and certified by public &C
countant There should be a board
of examiners in each state to look
after these corporations Just as our
national banks are watched by the ma
tional government. They should have
the right to enter the Offices and ex-
anime the records OF all the direc-
tOrates of these companies.

from the hotel porter that they were
going, and whittier he had already
purposed driving in his coach, which
had lately won honors in the coaching
meet at Naples.
These desperate reflections drove
the hitherto loquacious coachman
into an distracted silence. He an
swered vaguely the questions with
which Lesley did not cease to ply the
perfectly lovely coachman with the
bronze profile" He was actually re-
lieved when ne stopped his horses at
the foot of the long fight of steps
that wound up the cliff to the Hotel
Cappuccini.
His mind was in a tumult He, too,
was due at the Cappuccini. where his
room was engaged; but now he hest
tated to go and claim it and to APP
pear in his own person before the
American ladies. The craven thought
came into his mind that he should
run away; then he half resolved to
declare himself at once. He had been
unable to decide upon a course of &C
ton when the ladies prepared to de-
scend from the coach. Then he over
heard Lesley whisper to her mother:
He's been so nice and intelligent,
don't you think we might give him
couple of francs for HIMSELF" Be
fore he could speak, the girl had
placed II francs in his hand. wishing
him smiling goodby.
Believer hesitated To speak, or not
% speak-which was wiser in the
mind Of man? But he found himself
maintaining his part by uttering
deferential "Molte grazie, signorina."
Believer turned his smoking team,
and walked them back to their stable
in the town, where he left coach and
horses in the hands of his groom.
Strolling slowly back to the Cappuc-
cini steps, his courage suddenly re
turned to him. He would face the
music. brave out the situation and
trust to his own tact and the ladies'
sense of humor to save the position.
One thing only was impossible-to
give I'D the adventure and see the
girl no more He mounted the many
steps, received warm welcome
from the handsome and effusiye Ital-
ian landlord, and in the visitors book
set firm, clear Believer England"
Immediately under the clever Charac

inscribed the names of Mrs. and Miss
Fleetwood, New York, L. s. A"
Until the gong clashed out the hour
of dinner Believer kept his room, writ
ing letters. slowly changing into his
evening clothes, stopping every now
and then to lean upon his window
ledge and gaze out upon the incom-
parable beauty OF Amalfi. He was
among the earliest persons in the
| long, vaulted dining-rOom, once the
refectory Of the Capuchins. and a
word in the ear, and a coin in the
, hand of the head-waiter, procured him
a place next to Miss Fleetwood. This
arranged, he retired a little and

Il think there is great danger,
signore. We have had a fortnight's

and call the syndic."
Far above him Believer could see
that many persons had come out of
the Hotel Cappuccini and were as
sembled on the terrace looking
toward the overhanging part of the
mountain. He recognized the flowing
whiskers of old Signor Vozzi, the
landlord, and could see the white
aprons and the bright dresses Of the
servants mingling with the darker
costumes of the hotel guests. Then,
on the terrace to the left of the house,
beyond the cloisters, just under the
grotto, he detected a CLEAN of poppy
color, and, starisg hard, he recog-
nized Lesley Fleetwood. walking slow
ly up and down, all unconscious of the
danger that threatened her :
With a shout, Believer started for
the grotto 1t was approached by a
long fight of steps which turned two
or three times until they reached the
terrace of the grotto.
The girl looked up suddenly, and
her face flushed She turned from
him impatiently.
Miss Fleetwood, there is great
danger; the mountain will fall" he
cried excitedly. you must come at
once"
Must" repeated the girl. with a
surprised lifting of the eyebrows.
This is no time for ceremony" he
answered; the peril is near. Your
mother and everyone has run GU,
from the hotel"
Are you afraid?" She looked at
him half mockingly, half disdainfully.
Il am afraid for you. I entreat you
to come at once!"
Thank you. l prefer to stay where
am. and to be alone"
With this there came from above a
shower of loose stone and dust that
poured from the edge of the cliff over
their heads.
You see!" he cried. MY witness"
NONSENSE" said Lesley, sharply.
"A servant told me those stalactites
and things always fall after rain.
Pray lose no time in saving yourself
from the terrible danger"
Down came another stone There
was a strange sound, mysterious, in
descrlbable, that came from the
mountain. 1t was as if a giant i'm
prisoned inside were stirring eau
tiOusly
The man and the girl looked into
each others eyes, defiance in hers,
pleading in his. But suddenly a hot
wave seemed to rush through Belle
below ringing in his ears, he caught
the girl in his arms as if she had
been a child. The mountain groaned.
Believer sprang from under the arch
Of the grotto and. as If that fettered
giant grudged the loss of his prey,
there came a great roaring, which
filled the air and confused the young
mans senses. With a tremendous
crash, a huge mass of rock plunged
down from the foot of the grotto upon
the very spot where, an instant ago,
the two had stood, smashing into
fragments the concrete pavement of
the platform. The ground shook I'M
