have bored several wells to prove
certain ground and have been sue
cessful in every attempt. There is
no question but what artesian we'll
will some day play an important
part in the irrigation scheme of
Carson Valley.
The attitude of the United
States Reclamation Service in APP
propriating all of the water of the
Carson river not appropriated
makes it look like future develop
ment OF land in this Valley de-
pends wholly upon pumping and
artesion flows. The government
appropriated this water some eight
years ago, and while at first the
reclamation engineers figured that
Lake Tahoe would more than sup
ply the Truckee-Carson project,
time has proven that the Carson
river must furnish the great, part
of the water. The care notl ing
for the individual rights Il the
farmers of Carson Valley anC have
taken steps to stop the deN lop-
ment OF the richest and most
fertile Valley in all Nevada
that the government project may
succeed. 1t has been suggested
that the farmers hold a meeting
and make a vigorous protest for
their rights. 1t means everything Z
TO the future of this Valley and
it is the most important issue be-
fore them today.

the next few years originate OF
is lighted up during the attack OF
measels. Pneumonia is very
frequent complication. Probably
the most harmful effects following
the disease are chronic infect ons
of the eyes, ears and throat. Fol-
loving an epidemic of the ne sells
there will be many boys al Il girls
with running ears, impaired hear
ing, weak eyes and so forth.
"An ounce OF prevention is worth
"A pound OF cure" Measels can
and should be prevented in most
cases. From what has been said
above, the way to prevent the
spread of the disease should be
clear. Avoid all contact with
those persons or objects coming in
contact with such patients. When
a case OF measels does appear in
any family should isolate such
patient from the earliest symptoms
recognized until week or ten
days after all scaling and other
symptoms have disappeared. Only
the nurse or person attending the
patient should enter such room.

Something About Measels

The following treatise on measels
is worthy OF consideration at the
present time:
Measels is an aecute eruptive
fever. 1t is infectious, that is, 1t is
due to a minute organism invading
the system. 1t is contagious, that
is, it may be contracted by coming
in contact with one having the
disease, or with any person having
been around such person. Follow
ing measels there is always ntols
or less scaling of the skin. lie
disease is contagious from the Ii II
symptoms of cold In the bead or
eyer until after scaling or oghef
symptoms have subslded. For
these reasons the measels are easl-
iy spread from on to another by
coming In contact with such per
sons or patient. Household pets,
such as dogs or cats, that have free
access from house to house, are
often the carriers of infection.
There is an idea that everyone
must have mnasels sooner or later.
1t is also considered a harmless
disease. l. lth these ideas are
wrong.
Measels may be prevented by
keeping ava ON people having
the disease. 1t is far from harm

JURY BRINGS
IN. VERDICT

The case preferred by Alfonso
Clock ,ainst Fritz Elges for re-
moving cabin claimed by him,
was reheard by jury in the justice
court Tuesday. Alfred Chartz
represented the defendant while
George Springmeyar acted as
assistant district attorney and
handled the states interest. The
trial consumel the entire day and
it was 10:30 p. M. when the al
torneys had complied their argu-
ments to the jury.
The jury, after celebrating two
hours brought in verdict OF
guilty under the charge, which
was malicious mischief, and Judge
krummes sentenced defendant TO
pay fine of $50. His attorney
gave notice of appeal and the case
will 60 the district court.
Both men claim ownership to ia
cabin in Pine Nut,ss. about mile
and and hall from the Clock
ranch. In February of this year
defendant bought the cabin from
Richard Raycraft, together with
40 acres OF ground, the latter being
a milisite. He in turn sold the
cabin to Chas Laborde for $40 and
while the work of taking it down
was in progress, Clock appeared
and iorJered them to stop. Mr..
Elges said he would stop when lie
was shown that he (Glock) had "A
better title to the property than
himself.
The cabin was built by Richard
Raycraft lS or 20 years ago. The
ground, previous to this was loeat-
ed by Joseph Raycraft (now dead
as millsite and at one time oper-
ated an arasta there. There were
no deeds or papers introduced as
evidence to show that the ground
passed from Joseph to Richard
Raycraft. On the other hand
a patent to the ground issued by
the state TO Clock was introduced.

claim to the property.
Mr.. Elges testified on the witness
stand that he had bought the prop
erty from Richard in good faith.

and 40 acres of land, and still be
lieved the property to be his. Tn
bill OF sale from Raycraft was in
troduced as was a cancelled check
on the Farmers Bank of Carson

FIRST SUIT UNDER NEW FEDERAL ACT

The first suit brought in Maryland
under the new Federal Employers
Liability Act was filed on Wednesday
in the City Court Of Baltimore by the
law firm of Kaufman & Kaufman ask
ing $4,000 for the death of Giuseppe
Licatia. an employe Of the Philadel-
mia, Baltimore and Washington Rail
road Company, upon whose tracks he
was killed December II. 1911. The
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. the
parent corporation, is also named a
defendant in the suit
Under the act Of Congress 1908, Gre
ating the new law, the defendants
cannot plead contributory negligence
nor the fact that Licatia was an EN-
ploye of the company, in contesting
the claim for damages. Licatia was a
track-mender, and in the very nature
of his employment had to spend much
OF his time on the company roadoed.
Nevertheless, the plaintiff declares
that the company did not provide
safe place for him to work in putting
him on the tracks.
The suit is brought through Albert
Buchta, administrator Of Licatia's
estate, in behalf of the boys mother.
Licatia is said to have been a minor.
The proceedings are instituted under
the act Of Congress, April %, 1908.
A great deal Of interest will attach
10 this case as the result will establish
a new precedent in the responsibility
of employers for accidents TO men in
their pay. The act applies only to

loveliest fabrics. 1t is infinitely be-
coming. 1t seems to freshen and
soften the colorlng Of the wearer,
and it is a color much in fashion
now.
White dresses with plaid trimmings
are both new and smart. It should
be used with dlcrestion, as too much
plaid trimming will make a dress
look commonplace and patchy.
There are many cotton materials
this year which 1t Is impossible to
distinguish from silk In narrow
strips with spots or small patterns,
they are like the wash silk foulards.
