RENO Wins BALL GAME

The ball game played here last
Sunday between Reno and Gard
nerville, resulted in a victory for
the former by score OF 1917.
The wind blew perfect hurri.
cane during the entire game and
the spectators had to dancelaround
to keep from freezing.
Although the game was one OF
many errors. made so it is believed
by the heavy wind, the teams were
evenly matched and the game was
one OF interest from start to finish.
Reno started off with a small
lead and held it for several innings.
Gardnerville got busy aud at the
end of the seventh they were in
the lead by score Of IL to 7. .srhen
they had piece of bad luck and
Reno again got in the lead and
held it only by the dispensation
OF providence.
The home boys peed practice in
team work which they are now
getting. Before the season is
much further advanced they will
be up in their team work and will

Buys BIOoded Stock.

A. Jensen, since retiring from the
mercantile business has become
deeply interested in farming and
devotes the greater part of his
time to the work. He has gone in
to farming believing that it costs
no more TO raise a blooded horse
than il does mustang; that a
poor milch COW will eat as much
hay as good one. While hoad-
way in raising the standard of
horses and cattle is slow work and
requires years OF time, Mr. Jensen
is determined to succeed. In this
work he has ust added two blood
ed Frazier Holstein heifers pur-
chased in California. Their mate
is of thoroughbred stock and in a
few years the Jensen ranch will
surely have string OF dairy cows
unequaled in the State.
Other farmers in this Valley are
also interested in raising tho
standard of their herds and much
is being accomplished along tie
lines.

NEVADA TO GET RELIEF

Relief Tor the Nevada shipper il
tie matter OF the trans. .continenta
freight rat is now in sight, ana
there is little doubt but what tn,
rates on ali commodities shipped
from Eastern defined points and
Reno and other Nevada points will
bs in effect within the course ol
three months from this date.
The above conclusion has been
reached by the members OF the
Nevada State Rrailroad CJmmis-
sion, and is based upon the fact
that an order has just been receiv-
ed from the Interstate Commerce
Commission, fixing May 8, 1912,
as the date for all parties in the
case commonly known as the Reno
Terminal Case, to appear at Wash
ington, ID c. and show cause why
commodity rates rates should not
be forthwith put into effect be-
tween Eastern defined territory
and Reno, Nevada. The order
reads AZ follows:
The Commission having under
under consideration the propriety
of putting into effect forthwith the
commodity rates between eastern
defined territory and Reno, Nevada
at il ordered, that the case be
SIT down for further hearing at
Washington, at 10 ''ciock in the
forenoon OF May S.h, 1912, and
that at that TIM all parties be al
lowed to shoS cause why just and
reasonable commodity rates should
not be forthwith established.
by the Commission
"Signed: JOHN II. MARALE,
"Secretary."
The people OF Nevada can there
fore feel reasonably sure that re-
lief will be obtain, d within very
short time, and while iull termi-
nal rate from all Eastern territory
cannot be expected the measure OF
relief will be so great as TO give
Nevada control OF her own mar kets
and effect saving of at least
100000 per year to her people,
considering bth class and com
modify rate adjustments.
At the hearing to take place on
May Sth, II Is absolutely necessary
that the Nevada people should b.
represented a. the railroads may
